The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

ICE is the gestapo

Palantir is burrowing into the heart of the UK's institutions - our health, our defence, our finances. Join me in telling the govt to send this dangerous company packing: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

this is what happens when you let this much wealth and power concentrate in the hands of so few people nobody wants any of this but them and they’re the only ones who get a vote

it's hard not to keep coming back to the fact that they could simply have Not Done This they could have not bombed Iran! the strait would be open! we wouldn't be staring down a massive global economic crisis! none of this had to happen!

this is unironically the best case for punitive taxation there are arguments about fairness and freedom and whatever else but at the end of the day it is self-evidently far too dangerous for society as a whole for anyone to have that much money, the end

RIP, Eric Overmyer. Wrote on The Wire. Co-created Treme. Created Bosch. One of the few writer/producers, both working with David Simon and on his own, who actually knew how to make the "every season of our show is a Novel For Television" structure work.

im way less joking than yall would like to think

This DLSS 5 shit sucks for a lot of reasons - totally obliterating original art design for terrible slop is just offensive to look at - but what scares me is that as AI upscaling is increasingly part of the future (and present) of gaming tech, the opportunities for this BS will only grow.

Welp, guess that's the nail in the coffin for the Xbox brand. Truly managing to usurp SEGA as the most embarrassing exit from the console space (and I'd say by a very large margin, too).

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

This is such cool news! There hasn't been a missing DOCTOR WHO episode discovered since 2013. Now we've got 2 episodes from "The Daleks' Master Plan" restored, meaning episodes 1-3 are now extant. Every little bit counts. It's so cool when these discoveries happen.

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

I think we're seeing that existential crisis in full display this week! Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Protect public services. And replace Labour. Join.greenparty.org.uk

It was blindingly obvious that this was going to happen. All the woolly language around ‘limited use’ and ‘defensive purposes’ was just stalling. It always is.

Brilliant explanation. Watch it.

Take this advice today from @jess-a-creates.bsky.social

That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press

The Iran war now involves at least EIGHTEEN different countries. That in itself should be a major story! www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-decl...

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

If there's one thing I've learned in the last ten years it's that we really shouldn't dissuade the billionaire class from doom prepping because they will inevitably miss one very small but crucial engineering detail you'd only think about by being a human person and die embarrassingly anyway

I have a piece coming out soon on the similarities between the data center boom and 19th century railroad booms, and honestly they’ve made it a little too easy and on the nose.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

It is absolutely insane that anyone can expect the Iranian people to “rise up” while being chemical bombed We are making enemies of everyone for no reason beyond the greed and bloodlust of old rich men

Jesus christ. My thoughts are with the Iranian civilians. I can't imagine what it must feel like to have to try and continue just living your life as this goes on around you.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Collective punishment. Just directly trying to eradicate the civilian residents of Tehran. Ghastly. See this is why we should have sent George bush to the fucking Hague

It's wild how there are at least 20-30 people in the Trump administration who are each,, somehow, the most contemptible person you've ever seen in your life. Just an M.C. Escher staircase of loathsomeness.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Resident Evil The Book, the first official translation of ancilliary resident evil lore, features some of the greatest characterisation for Chris Redfield i have ever seen

god fucking dammit

Sorry guys there’s just too may antisemitic podcasts out there to say no to them all. What am I supposed to do? Not praise podcasts pushing Protocols of the Elders of Zion talking points? Get outta here.

Destroying the gambling industry is actually the fastest path towards fixing media

The reviews for Pokopia have kinda blown me away. I know that people said Dragon Quest Builders 2 was good (it's from the same developer), but damn. Especially interesting to hear that the mystery of what happened to the region is an enticing throughline.

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

roughly once a decade America ignores every single lesson of history to start a doomed, insane war with the promise of swift, overwhelming victory and ends up spending a trillion dollars on war crimes that accomplish nothing

In case anyone needs to hear this right now. Escapism is OKAY. I know every day lately brings another insane headline, but you HAVE to rest your mind. The human brain wasn't meant to process the overload of information we're used to now. DO NOT feel guilty for protecting your peace. Ever.

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

We're really just going to do Iraq again? Fucking really? I'm going to lose my mind. We know this is not going to result in a peaceful region after all is said and done, so I guess we're just killing people for fun now.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Spencer took 41% of the vote all by herself. Neither Reform or Labour could break 30%. Labour barely made it to 25%. Get fucked, Starmer.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The fight's only just beginning but the mainstream media made such a big deal out of this specific by-election hoping that the Greens would lose to Reform and it would give them a reason to do even more coverage on the latter party over the former. This is a trial passed.

What we are seeing is a simple truth: the notion of a free country is wholly incompatible with the existence of a billionaire class. I don’t know how we solve any big problems - democracy, civil rights, climate change, the economy - without making sure no individual ever has this kind of money.

Loved playing this game - been long enough that I'll be able to dive back in with fresh eyes along with the new update.

Metacritic has only become more important as algorithms flatten and fracture the internet, but its authority relies on quality inputs from sources that are being hallowed out at an alarming rate.
