A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills. This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history. If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Every time there’s slightly irregular news from the White House.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Zohran Mamdani will FORCE all New Yorkers to complete a MANDATORY playthrough of Lifeline for the PS2 using untested third party PS2 microphones. What are your thoughts on this!?

That's right, I'm in a video game! @lunarspartygame.bsky.social was awesome enough to put my bun as a skin in the game! If you'd like the code to get this code, you can find it in my Discord! discord.gg/AMFpFfKHhy

We’ve been speaking out against KOSA since it was introduced in 2022 by Marsha Blackburn, a bigot and outspoken advocate for censoring trans people off the internet in effort to “protect children from the transgender in this culture.” KOSA has ALWAYS been about censorship and suppression.

NO

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

hey i know i'm not exactly going out of my comfort zone here but this Saturday the 24th i'm playing 12 hours of Hitman to fundraise for MIRAC, a group helping lead the fight against ICE in Minnesota. random (brown) people are being violently kidnapped without warrants every day. let's talk about it.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

I should mention I have my own skin in this game! I'll have more details once I'm not busy with work (or sleep)

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

babe wake up they made alchemy real

This is why you keep seeing this crap being rammed down our throats. They've got more money tied up in this bullshit than you can possibly imagine, and they're starting to realize that no one wants to pay for it, because it doesn't work.

A friend posted this and I wanted to try myself!

Yeah, This is the kind of shit I learned Graphic design for.

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027. Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.

There is a legit general strike in the entire state of Minnesota on Friday. The first in an entire US state. The AFL-CIO and dozens of unions are involved. All power to the workers. Fuck the Gestapo.

if you can lend a hand to a friends GoFundMe, please do so ♥ Otherwise, shares for the main post itself (not this one) are appreciated

I used to play egg carton mancala with my parents! I'm looking forward to playing this.

can I make a suggestion

"a lot of people are posting about the bus kidnapping story, surely it can't be that bonkers" my friends this is an actual odyssey

Y'know those "mark if you're safe" things for earthquakes and stuff? We need that for if a major sport is happening. Like it makes you click on that before you post, then it remains in effect for the length of whatever big sport is going on, auto-adds #sports to your posts

Sorry for the delay 🙇‍♂️ We are waiting on Steam and will go live as soon as possible. Open beta will stay live in the meantime. Thank you for your patience 💛

Hello, Mark's (gelty) nephew here. He’s been in the ER since 4 a.m., and we’re still waiting for updates. Police said it appears he entered oncoming traffic and got hit by a car. I can't answer, but I'll keep this updated. Share this where he normally chats to inform his friends.

Geltydrake needs help. Please spread the word to help him.

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

Tomorrow (hopefully) we'll be releasing a family of fonts that helps you make these nonsense words for textures in your games (like Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Pokemon) etc. There are two sizes of pixel font, a clean HD one and a cartoony HD one! #gamedev

To add to this, almost all of the U.S.’s problems are linked to its hatred of Black people and that it hates Black people more than it loves anyone else. Our laws and policies are largely based on making sure Black people (and sometimes other groups) don’t benefit even at the expense of others.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I drew Rick for this! I will admit I thought I posted my entry already ummm I did not #art #Bokumono #BokujouMonogatari #牧場物語 #StoryofSeasons #HarvestMoon

Today is the day that everyone should know or remember that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. began advocating for universal basic income before he was killed. Everyone should also know why. Read his words about it to learn why. Lots of quotes from him here to help understand his reasoning:

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.
