Hey dem friends in Virginia, Kaine not up for reelection until 2030. But you sure can call his office and tell him what you think. Here's his office number: +1 202-224-4024

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

That… seems pretty worth paying attention to.

This whole fucking country is rotten to the core. What do you even say about this? They all need to go

I wrote about the cronyistic TikTok deal, and how it once again shows the U.S. is too corrupt to function in the public interest, despite a whole lot of pretense to the contrary

“Your papers are fake because we say they are fake” is peak fascist nonsense and should just outline that the only goal is ethnic cleansing the imposition of a white ethno state

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

the thing about commentators who self-brand as fearless truth-tellers is that their ideals of "free debate" always take the dullest, most predictable tacks possible www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Feels like the economy is now 80% speculative investment in a tech that's never going to make money, widespread gambling on everything, and scams. Y'know, totally sustainable growth industries that won't ever bring the roof down on everyone in this house of cards.

Cuellar is a scumbag who belongs in prison and Don Davis was the lone Democratic supporter of a bill to stop Medicare from negotiating drug prices. When people say, "we need to the big tent party," we should ask whether the tent should exclude bigots or the people those bigots harm.

There are lots of reasons to hate David Zaslav. He was corrupt, terrible at his job, and is taking a half-billion golden parachute after screwing up a half-dozen media franchises. But he also partnered with state TV in China to whitewash the Xinjiang genocide. chinamediaproject.org/2024/03/05/n...

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

This is Spinal Tap Rob Reiner 1947-2025

i mean, he is a neurotic nerd that likes to sleep with little girls

This Wall Street Journal headline is what major American media have become: a sick joke. Trump says Rob Reiner was asking to be stabbed to death because he didn't support Trump. WSJ sane-washes that into plain old "criticism" of Reiner. The media are killing our country with this normalization.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable

This is how you know that Gavin Newsom is no better than Trump on all the issues that matter.

You have to be shit at something before you get good at it, for what it's worth.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

The instant someone uses genAI, my trust in them is immediately shot to shit. How do I know they didn’t use genAI for their music? For more than just placeholder assets for their game? For their script? I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure it out. GenAI: not even a little

fuck @safety.bsky.app forever

in case anyone was wondering wtf happened to @thelouvreof.bsky.social/Louvre of Bluesky: the creator got doxxed, bsky did nothing, and they decided to go out in a blaze of glory

I think it's funny how each party has a separate group of economy wonks who hate each other but all wind up unanimously saying that things are Great Actually and poor people are just too stupid and irresponsible to realize that.

The global right is an explicitly white supremacist/Nazi movement and it’s way past subtle.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

got to be hard spending ~15 years numbing people to gun violence and then trying to make them endlessly moved by a single creepy widow

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

the Extendo-Ladder DEMANDS respect!

EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP. FINALLY A GOOD ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY. BEST NEWS EVER. YOU CAN GO TO BED NOW THEY'RE NOT TOPPING THIS

Hakeem Jeffries' AI Commission is littered with corporate and tech-friendly Dems. AI is wildly unpopular, yet too many national Democratic leaders are rejecting that reality in favor of wooing back Silicon Valley. From our friends at @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social: prospect.org/2025/12/12/d...

Dang, I feel sorry for whoever runs @undefined! Dunno what that has to do with me though. 🙃 @safety.bsky.app when we say you aren't good at moderating this platform, this is some of what we mean. Maybe stop protecting transphobes at the expense of the community too though, idk 🤷‍♂️

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

Wow @washingtonpost.com, this sounds awful and stupid and terrible. Who would want this?

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned. archive.ph/Tmthz

you cannot just guilt the public out of hating and fearing AI

"BUt yoU JUst doN'T UNDerstAND" I understand that AI-bros are smug psychos about what they want gen-AI to be... while also being naively ignorant to what gen-AI *actually* is & does. Fuck em and their slop.

Big Tech’s PR work around AI has been a masterclass in how not to communicate with the public about technology

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year. Now you're upset? Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."
