with "allies" like these

Or not drop. Because imagine being that woman. Look at how people are responding to him being physically violent and referring to women in one of the most violently degrading ways possible. Hard to blame anyone who doesn’t want to speak up.

i'll die alongside gooners before i live alongside prudes

What's happening with Platner is why you hop off the bus at "he has a nazi tattoo"

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

Now apply for a job in cyber where you’re paid for to watch this happen again and again

It isn’t hyperbolic to say that SCOTUS is at war with the Reconstruction Amendments and multiracial democracy more broadly. We’re a liberal democracy and an apartheid planter society stitched together and it’s clear where the SCOTUS majority’s sympathies lie.

Every member of Congress who remains silent on Bill Pulte’s appointment as director of national intelligence is actively choosing personal political survival over the literal safety of the United States.

“Dune is colonialist” “dune is a warning” wrong. The message of dune is that all computers must be destroyed and that doing cocaine gives you superpowers

this is my kind of company motto right here

Rainbow capitalism actually is a good thing but it's as a warning light, not as actual social progress; when the rainbow capitalism stops, it's a sign that capital doesn't feel that paying lip service to queers' humanity is currently advantageous

Not for nothing but freedom of navigation has been a core US foreign policy objective for 200+ years and preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination has been one for just a hair under 50. When I say things like “calamity” or “inexcusable defeat”, I am not being partisan or exaggerating.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

A Black teenager was accused of stealing a backpack and ended up dying by suicide because he was kept in solitary confinement at Rikers for years. His name is Kalief Browder. He spent over 700 days in solitary confinement AWAITING TRIAL. I guess in racist America that’s worse than this.

This functionally ends science in the United States.

No one could have possibly seen this coming except for the many people documented in this story who saw this coming.

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

No matter who you are, if you are running a platform or a making a product that collects user data, you need to have a plan for what happens when the government shows up and asks for it, you need to share that policy with that users, and publish a transparency report.

“My only regret,” Rhodes said in the days after Jan. 6, “is that they didn’t bring rifles.” “We could have fixed it right then and there.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/oath...

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Happy World Goth Day!

Very “no shit” - but worth considering how many Covid deaths we actually had during the heights of the pandemic vs what was reported because of shit like this.

I haven’t used Google Search on a regular basis in something like 6 or 7 years. People talk about how much Google sucks now, but I don’t even notice it. It’s great.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

Reporting on a wonky subject - tax filing software - that is both inspiring (the efforts and ingenuity of USDS) and incredibly enraging (the lobbyist driven work of DOGE and the current admin). Great work from @defector.com defector.com/free-easy-de...

I for one heartily endorse shipping every billionaire to a lifeless rock millions of miles away where they will struggle to live and will have to work every single day of their existence in order to survive

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Bungie friends: you deserve better. We as gamedevs deserve better. The industry deserves better.

While not even being close to game dev during my ATVI years - it was so frustrating to watch Bungie leadership repeatedly punch themselves in the dick and blame everyone else.

Ah memories

I was amused by this bit of the article, "...students...roughly divided between children of missionaries, business executives, diplomats, and CIA officers" The US expat kid experience remained the same across nearly half a century apparently. Fuck Cornyn though, good riddance once this term is up

Even though I stopped playing after Lightfall, Destiny will always be a special game for me, touching so many memories in the past decade.

While other practitioners have other reasons for using the label, the FBI is relying on NVE as a catchall category that allows them to avoid confronting the role of white supremacy in political violence.

Perfectly predictable. Reminder that the casual use of "globalist" by so many folks in academia & policy & journalism, when they really mean something about "globalization" is incredibly offensive to we, the very tired Jews of the world, because it has been & remains barely-veiled anti-semitic code.

"And in what way does firing people from the Post make people more likely to pay for the Post?" That obvious follow-up question is strictly forbidden under capitalism.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

reuploading maybe my favourite video in the fucking world

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Woooo Eureka mentioned

Fuck you gonna do about it you useless bitch

The vice president of the United States is just standing up here saying people should feel sorry for domestic terrorists who were given free and fair trials and were then convicted in a court of law. Absolutely despicable.

this is a masterpiece

Thus far no Dem Senator has raised this.

The Trump regime’s $1.776 billion dollar slush fund is not only corrupt, it is a major source of funds for far-right extremists, including those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. The U.S. government no longer combats far-right extremists. It funds them.

This is correct on all counts and the through-line is that democracy is a device for making taxes not be theft We are experiencing a taxation-that-is-theft for the first time in living memory
