No American politician since LBJ, maybe even since Roosevelt has had as good a run of wrestling stolen money from the oligarchs and putting it back in workers’ pockets—and he’s just 6 months in

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. He said “You are fools to have come to this place! The icy winds of Northrend will consume your souls! Suffer, mortals, as your pathetic magic betrays you! …Now, feel my master's limitless power and despair!”

Being real right now: every car that’s being controlled by a person is Weaponized as soon as you put it in gear. You can’t let cops or ice push that story anymore. People are killing each other with cars all the time; fatalities every day.

They didn't leave Boston. They didn't leave New York City. They didn't even stop buying empty apartments and houses in New York City when those got an extra tax. They're not going to leave California.

Cartoonist Ruben Bolling has been absolutely killing it, and here's another one

Again, I was right about his guy and what would happen if he was nominated, which makes me smarter than everyone who was wrong about him.

What Microsoft did to id Software this week was a tragedy -- a failure to safeguard the lives of its workers. But it was also a telling failure of vision to have *that* legacy in your hands and to discard it like so much nothing

We should not move on. These efforts aren't popular, they're performative cruelty and absolutely useless in the grand scheme of things and yet I'm sure Fox News will keep getting cranky segregationists to vote for it.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

“finally, the Left’s Trump.” explains way more than they’d like to admit

In case anyone is wondering how I "clocked" Platner, it was the fact that he is a literal mercenary with a Nazi tattoo. Maybe keep that in your back pocket

turning a big dial taht says "Misogyny" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

"it turns out that our audience was not as enthusiastic about rape apology as our editorial staff thought they would be. in future, we will install a dial titled 'rape apology' and will turn it slowly, checking over our shoulder for audience reaction."

As with Trump, so it is with his boys. If ICE says it, it didn’t happen. You should abolish them just for that alone.

Twitter is not a good place to be.

Layoffs are the only video game news there is now. Just people losing their jobs until video games cease to exist.

I need to raise 350 by the 14th 100/350 Please share and donate if you can

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

He really looked Batman dead in the eyes & said nooope not today. 🤣🤣🤣

You can’t buy me, hot dog man!

caring about victims of sexual assault is a feminine-coded concern, and there are some left wing men who seem like they'd prefer being called a misogynist by a woman on the left than a betacuck soy boy by a man on the right

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said "It is not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was brought here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.”

I took a couple years of Latin just so I could snort at this.

There is an ongoing Cyclospora diarrhea outbreak in the US affecting multiple states and ongoing for several weeks. We still do not know what the contaminated food sources is. Really like this write up by @cmyeaton.bsky.social updating on the situation. www.foiclinical.com/posts/alert-...

"The White House [didn't say] who operates Freedom Fuel, or how it is offering gasoline at more than 30 cents a gallon below the national average. The stations are run by a private company and aren't part of a government program, nor are they receiving funding from the administration." come on.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

It’s easy to forget after so many years of war that Zelensky was a brilliant comedian before becoming president.

And what’s so cool is literacy is liberatory—but chatbots from billionaires are going to drive the fraction of human communication taking place on the web to zero; capture literacy inside their extractive walled gardens, and then enshittify it to death. The literacy rate of adults will approach 0%

If they ended up decimating id Software's tech team then I have no faith in anything they'll ever do again under the current leadership. Between last week and today's news...I just don't know what to say at this point.

> ah geeze this is it, someone in CS always said it better 40 or 50 years ago which makes it even more crazy that so many people in CS right now are ready to argue that, actually, it's fine if you have no theory of how how your code works bsky.app/profile/juan...

A colleague shared a text from a Distinguished Engineer working in a company that shall not be named. The last paragraph contains this sentence: "coding is not disappearing. But it is changing" You can guess the topic. Well, this reminded me of Peter Naur's 1985 "Programming as Theory Building" 🧵

This *also* explains why the vibe coded single purpose utility or app for one guy works perfectly, they have all the metatext for it in their head already. It will show up mainly as an issue in teams or when you come back later and youve forgotten some of the metatext.

[carl sagan voice] to write source code you must first be able to get divorced

How to design F1 tracks

I even used the word "wedge", hah lia-sae.net/articles/202...

This is exactly what I've been saying - if you're a coder who objects to this fuckery and work in a somewhat silo'd way, you need to make that *visible* to the art people because they, not incorrectly, see us as The Enemy

okay but this is an ouroboros because these comics were printed and pinned on everyone's doors in your parents & grandparents windowless offices so this is like literally coming full circle

Fellow cis folks! Read this thread 👇

This is a confession to sexual assault, frankly

BRAKROOMS

THE ACKROOMS

You aren’t putting him in jail. You’re just letting him continue on his perfectly fine life without being one of the hundred most powerful people in the country.

Folks, no one has a RIGHT to higher office. OK? You aren't "canceling" anyone when you decide NOT TO SUPPORT THEIR QUEST FOR MORE POWER. Please let's be SERIOUS. This is not what is meant by "no one is disposable." I'm begging people to focus and use your brains. That man can still make a LIVING.

He doesn’t “deserve” a seat in congress. He’s not “canceled”. The nazi tattoo guy will be fine. Many, many rapists go on to enjoy wonderful happy lives in America. It’s as common as water and air. Thats on us tho, we could be making them much less comfortable or raising kids to be less raping.

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not
