Excited to get home to these two games landing in my mail

Hey @mta.info Stop having Brooklyn bound C trains go express at Hoyt, you’ve got A trains for that.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to [email protected] they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

Folks, US banning any kind of AI regulation happening in the states is about to be voted on soon!! CALL your Senators ASAP!! Zach gave us a great break down bellow so check out his thread and lets do it! It’s GO TIME!

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

OPINION: "Since the Ku Klux Klan’s resurgence in 1915, white supremacists … have long advocated violence to establish a white ethnostate, a proposed political entity or nation-state where residency and citizenship are exclusively limited to whites," Art Jipson writes. buff.ly/ZMXSEhn

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

Deeply disappointing move by @roll20.net

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Given all that we know about Clinton, I hope his endorsement makes you MORE likely to vote for Mamdani and LESS likely to include Cuomo ANYWHERE on your ballot. Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Blake, and Myrie. Those are the five. Your choice of order. But #NoCuomo, #NeverCuomo, friends. vote.nyc

Congress has not formally declared war since 1942, 83 years ago. Look at all the war the US has done in the past 83 years. Very obviously, it long long ago stopped requiring congressional approval for war according to its own constitution.

Stopped off at a board game cafe last night in Portland to play for a bit and low and behold @goosepoopgames.com had a stand of little games so I obviously had to get one

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

This weeks newsletter from @monteiro.bsky.social hits so fucking hard. I struggle to pull any one quote out amongst so many so here’s one: “When decisions are cheap we can take risks that become almost impossible otherwise.” And now go sign up and read the rest of it…

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

If the government had paid Elon Musk and his cronies $134 million to do nothing, it would’ve saved more money than having DOGE actually attempt to cut the budget.

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

I made a game and seeing these proofs made me shake so bad I could barely open them

Bring it back!!!

This. For autistic kids For our trans friends For immigrants For people of color For women For cis white dudes like me Everyone deserves to live, even if they can’t work, pay taxes, or get laid.

SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics. www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/16/1...

They’re burning the Library of Alexandria.

What some people fail to understand is that fascism isn’t just a local or national issue—it’s an inherently expansionist and parasitic ideology. It doesn’t respect borders, and it doesn’t stay contained.

Absolutely this

They’ve persecuted immigrants, transgender people and scientists. They’ve targeted the rule of law and free speech. Now, they’re coming for your three-year-old, too. wapo.st/4jcUg2f

None of these morons knows COBOL, so they will be asking Grok to do the translation. What could possibly go wrong. Side note: I like how Wired calls DOGE "the so-called Department of Government Efficiency" I wish all media would do this.

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

The Israeli military killed Mohammed along with his wife and child in an airstrike targeting his home in Khan Younis. Less than an hour later, Hossam Shabat was also killed in an Israeli airstrike while reporting on Salah al-Din Street in Jabalia, North Gaza.

This morning, the Israeli military deliberately targeted and killed beloved Palestinian journalists Hossam Shabat and Mohammed Mansour.

i have a conservative in my life i can’t fully escape. cis, het, white, well-off. kinda guy who’s been calling refugees “cultural suicide” since 2015 & loves atlas shrugged to bits. he was melting down about something & i asked “when was the last time you were told ‘no’ & had to live with it?” 🧵

White cis people need to wake up. Transphobic legislation is part of a broader attempt to control women’s bodies, presentation, and gender expression. Everyone is negatively impacted by transphobia—especially queer, trans, and/or gender non-conforming Black people and Black women.

oh i love this

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

Let’s just say it’s hard to be confident that DOJ will do the right thing with regard to the accusations against Rep. Mills. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

BREAKING: Josh Shapiro just sued Donald Trump and won, unfreezing $2.1 billion in funds the administration tried to freeze. Another win for Democrats in the courts. Don’t let anyone tell you Donald Trump is unstoppable.

#America rushing to see how we can go from the smartest to the dumbest the fastest. What is the point of court orders if these agencies can just defy them?
