"Form over function" jack-offs when I hit them with the bananapeel-shaped caution cone and throw them off Rainbow Road:

When you boo JD Vance at a public event this is who you are booing 👁️‍🗨️👄👁️‍🗨️ 💧

Really nice to be able to watch the Olympics for free on the CBC Gem app but the sound mixing for some of these events is just bizarre.

Just saw the Lindsey Vonn wipeout come up on stream on our TV, not knowing it had happened, AS my mom was telling me about it. Bizarre.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

I was in East Palestine this week for the 3-yr anniversary of one of the worst industrial disasters in US history. Here's the compilation of testimonies residents in/around EP shared w/ me @therealnews.com I beg you to listen & share their stories w/ everyone you can therealnews.com/biden-trump-...

Could they have simply gotten the date wrong? Maybe. Did they? No, Trump killed him.

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th. (It’s here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

Disappointing to see artists with `🚫 NO AI` in their bio, openly against Generated AI imagery, suddenly excusing AI-generated code now. Using similar rhetoric that tech-bros would use to excuse their GenAI "Art".

wait, wait, also: Tramell Tillman

Danny McBride But honestly any Righteous Gemstones cast member would do.

@rajio.bsky.social I bought a case of the peach mango Canada Dry cause I remembered you posting about it and damn it really is that bitch.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

you try to do something unimplemented in a video game and a modal pops up that says "ow wow wow what are you doing you can't try that that won't work, I'm just a little guy, I'm just a little guy and you're trying to go out of bounds? shame on you. shame on you!"

doctor: well mr. yoda, we fixed the language center of your brain. you should talk totally normal now yoda: thanks dude

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

This woman is a dissident who survived an attempted assassination by state security, and would be internationally recognized as a hero for democracy if that happened in any other country

Relatedly, because there are close to zero progressive Jewish media outlets, today's main source of video clips of Jewish events and conferences comes from a Nick Fuentes-allied Nazi, who is amplified every hour by countless “leftists.” Here’s Mehdi Hasan doing that today:

Hiring the guy who torched Tumblr as the Washington Post CEO is one of the more blatant examples of how failure is a feature of the role. Not only can C suite people fuck up on a massive scale with no consequences, there is strategic value in dropping a fuckup into a role like that

if rfk jr quoting the nastiest line from his song from osmosis jones (2001) during a national focus on pedophilia gets the whole special canceled it would be almost poetic

I know they've been doing it for ages but I'm still disappointed every time I see Work With Indies post a job listing involving AI.

revealed: some shit everybody already knew

Mulder: "Scully have you heard of...Chicken Jooooockeeeeey?!"

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on. We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.

If you enjoy Bloodborne you really owe it to yourself to read EM Carroll's WRITHE (it's free) emcarroll.itch.io/writhe

TFW you badly need a job but have principles, and realize the job listing is for a Harry Potter game. :\

If your player is like "can I jump that high" the answer is "consider if it is plausible and interesting" and then based on that you answer either: * yes * roll for it * that's pretty high, do you have something that'd help you jump high Don't be doing height measurements!!! Do storytelling!!!

Btw I know this is preaching to the choir but reading these stupid high jump rules truly a great example of why dnd is a bad template for anything. If your player is like "can I jump that high" the answer should never be "let's compare the height of the wall in feet to blablabla"

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

Making Caitlin watch the mixed doubles curling so she understands a little more about how weird this country is.

Dworkin was a zionist who teamed up with republicans to ban porn

You know I've thought about it a lot and I really do think getting drawn by yoji shinkawa would basically be the best thing that could happen to a person in their lifetime

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Police and their media allies are using the horrors of Trump’s ICE kidnaps squads to launder police depts’ reputations and promote a baseless narrative of successful post George Floyd “reforms”. I wrote about this is PR blitz and why it’s bullshit.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Best case scenario is that it was just to make the most disgusting stew you’ve ever seen

Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

One time in ten, someone arguing will be confused, misinformed, perhaps entrenched. But the rest of the time it’s simply our national cultural condition: oppositional defiant disorder. You cannot reason or plead them out of it. Don’t bother. They just don’t want to have to do something.

One thing I’ve learned that is that arguments in favor of something that does measurable harm to your community — using genAI, skipping vaccines, not wearing masks — are generally not reasoned or based in science or even deeply held beliefs. The actor simply does not want to *have to do something.*

Me having not read the stories or seen the show: oh that’s why his name is Egg.

This is the end goal of anyone who wants to eliminate "politics" from discourse where they don't deem it "appropriate." Erasure of history, erasure of current facts.
