Recurring gripe of mine but it is incredible how National Conservatism is supposedly built around decrying lack of community, common project etc, while turning every “hate your neighbors” dial they can access up to 11. Make your professor terrified to say anything, don’t trust your doctor, etc

That "progressive fightback" in full

The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Lee Gill, has pleaded guilty to bribery charges relating to statements in favour of Russia while being an elected member of the European Parliament

BREAKING: Hegseth has sacked the entire chain of command and all personnel, replacing them with Vince McMahon who has been given back control of WWE to run them as the new US military. The new insignia for all military units is a cartoon of Hulk Hogan making that face.

"I can probably fix your laptop. Bring it round and I'll have a look at it." Then they bring it round and you have that moment of wondering if you actually can fix it via software/config, or if some piece of hardware is broken and you're gonna look stupid and waste their time. :D (I fixed it.)

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

Coincidentally, every pharmaceutical company just bought a new Lego set and a tiny square of land in the USA.

This rug is still her favourite toy. :(

28 Years Later is the Clerks 3 of zombie-horror sequels.

Doug Bowser to retire as President of Nintendo of America. The role is now expected to go to Doug Bowser Jr.

What if Tetris, but open-world where you have to knock down radio/viewpoint towers to unlock new parts of the map.

By the way I wasn't joking this is literally where he was when it stopped moving. The one to his right was still working. This is the biggest drama about literally nothing in the history of everything.

Oh, so under 3% of just their *profits* from the previous quarter Yeah, that'll show Bezos www.macrotrends.net/stocks/chart...

The only policies Starmer seems prepared to contradict Farage on lately are the ones absolutely no one (except The Tony Blair Institute Of Nefarious Evil Bullshit) wants.

I turned off Edge's permission to access my location, since I don't use Edge and it was the only connection to that "Web Experience Pack" that was apparently using it for weather widgets I also don't use. So today I get a pop-up on top of what I'm doing asking if Edge can access my location. FFS.

I wonder if people's views about voting rights for prisoners have changed now there's a government arresting large numbers of random people without just cause.

This looks & sounds great. Nice to see a game release with multiple perf/quality modes that all make sense and work. I thought it was a strange choice on the music, until it started reminding me of 16-bit JRPGs. It'd fit perfectly if it was top-down sprites doing the same story. & that rain sfx 👌

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

I don't care if they sound good, those square Rode mics everyone uses now look wrong. Mics should be sticks not squares and I will not budge on this.

Former killer? Weird way to tell us zombies are real.

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children. Every session. Every website. Every keystroke. Monitored and recorded.

I wish I could fix the part of me that, knowing I need to get up early the next morning, refuses to go to sleep even once in bed, and leaves me completely wiped out the next day.

Does this mean people can go on holiday to the EU to update their Windows 10 laptops?

Microsoft forced to make Windows 10 extended security updates truly free in Europe

Meghan McCain slammed Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's daughter, Violet Affleck, over her UN speech: 'This is why people hate nepo babies,' the daughter of Sen. John McCain said.

"I want to live in a post-AI world." *monkey paw closes*

I'd pay $800 to see Michael Rapino forced to eat shit.

How long before big companies start advertising this way?

Three people in ICE custody killed is an atrocity, yes. But if we agree on that - and not everyone does as this administration is clearly fine with who in fact was killed - then what is this? We literally disappeared people. People with families, friends, lawyers. No one knows where tf they are.

"Windows Web Experience Pack" (fantastic and accurate name, not) is constantly accessing my location data. People on the web say it's for the weather widget. I turned off the weather on both the taskbar and lock screen the day I installed this wretched OS. Why the hell is it still doing this?

Using Google search on a phone is increasingly annoying, with all the popups with misleading buttons trying to trick you into using their app (why?!) and sign in. Just return my search results sprinkled with ads stop turning into Reddit.

we are ruled by an esoteric cult

I think they should make alcohol that doesn't give you a hangover.

Why do game devs still use Unreal?

For days, US Republicans and their supporters have claimed that the White House had absolutely nothing to do with the attempt to get Kimmel off the air. Then we get this…

What happened here? Did she kill enough rats that she leveled up and could do new quests?

In midness you dwell

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

He hasn't ended shit, and literally created the Department of War, for fuck's sake.
