*Like the Odyssey, but with snakes

A small recompense for decades of jokes at Mexico's expense, eh?

Alt: bluesky screenshot. The text of the post reads: "Someone please pay me to cover nothing but rural festivals I'm having THE TIME OF MY LIFE at the Elkhorn Rib Festival".

The post includes a photo of a woman with glasses wearing a pink t-shirt that says "Anal Bead Tug o' War Champion". She is standing outdoors under a canopy or tent, tilting her head back and drinking out of a large glass bottle of Evan Williams. In the background, other festival attendees and camping equipment are partially visible.

From the description:

Yo Shmupers, it’s Vinu! Today I’m sharing my Top 7 Shoot ’Em Ups for Beginners, a selection of shmups that are great if you’re new to the genre, or if you want something more approachable to get started.

Of course, this isn’t the only way to begin, and plenty of great games didn’t make the list, so feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments!

The Linux Foundation has twelve platinum members, which donate $500000 per year, followed by twelve gold members, who donate $100000 per year. Below these two primary tiers lie the silver peasants, who each donate $5000-$25000 per year, based on number of employees. Looking at the list of twelve platinum members, I noticed something interesting.

Of the twelve platinum companies, six are “AI” companies or companies with massive investments in “AI”: Google, Huawei, Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM/Red Hat. Then there’s Samsung Electronics, which is raking in stupendous amounts of money thanks to the “AI” bubble. Additionally, one of the gold members is Anthropic, another major “AI” company and makers of “Claude”, the sloppiest of slopcoding tools.[...]

Anyway, a large chunk of the funding the Linux Foundation, Linus Torvald’s employer, receives is coming from increasingly desperate companies frantically trying to convince a populace deeply skeptical and often downright hostile towards “AI” to spend money on “AI” before the bubble bursts.

Get the riff: rifftrax.com/demonwarp

A peaceful weekend in a cabin in the woods is interrupted when a lumbering, grunting, brute of a creature arrives. And then right after George Kennedy shows up, he gets attacked by Bigfoot!

Yes, some sort of Ape Type Thing is roaming the forest ripping off both electronic equipment and heads. What does a sasquatch want with a vintage tube amp? Do cryptids possess the same tendencies as humans where they hit their forties and all of a sudden need to drop five figures on a stereo system to appreciate the production on Aja?

Look, we could tell you why he wants it, but A) it sounds so preposterous that you’d just think we made it up and B) we’ve seen it a dozen times and are still not certain it’s real. There’s a decent chance someone just spliced a different movie onto the last fifteen minutes of this one. Or maybe they passed the script around The Naked Clone style and the last person just decided to go off the rails.

If your Bigfoot/George Kennedy movie is gonna go off the rails, who better to have with you than Mike, Kevin, and Bill!
