When I subscribed to Wired they were doing great news and holding DOGE accountable. Now on their homepage we see articles talking up genAI movies, "Trump's least favorite cabinet members," and this crap giving Cybertruck owners and Jan 6th insurrectionists a platform. What happened?

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives' a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not' so the funding disappeared?? and people are dying??

Switched to a new playthrough of Hollow Knight because I still can’t beat Lost Lace and I need a brain reset. Bug Knight just feels like he moves at a glacial pace now, even with all the movement tech. And I found myself face tanking a lot more enemies. Still brilliant, but the swing is crazy.

I am…apparently not playing Fallen London enough. 😅

Somehow, it is always goddamn Reagan.

it's wild how confusing it is to watch a politician who thinks we should like, all get human rights and be able to afford to live, but also is inviting us (generic, not me sob) to do joyful things with each other too

ICE agents, who have no jurisdiction or legal right to TOUCH a U.S. Citizen, violently assaulting and kidnapping U.S. citizens, with no Miranda rights, and taking them over state lines.

If you’re on Twitter you’re on the Nazi site. You are sitting in the Nazi bar. And you’ve decided for whatever reason that you’re ok with it.

Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

tl;dr this is, as I've been screaming into the wind about for a week now, not just illegal as shit but fundamentally means the Constitution as written is no longer in effect That said if you want an even deeper dive on the subject than I've done, this is a very good thread

So desperately sick of these assholes cheating because it’s the only way they can win. Biden and the Dems not packing the court and holding trials is gonna fuck us for the rest of my life if we don’t do something.

Just…openly taped up on the office wall now, eh?

One of them is a sitting state senator. And remind me what his reaction to protests in college campuses was?

Admin begging teachers to hide their microwaves, coffee makers, and fluorescent light covers like Miss Honey's class hides color and joy in Matilda.

Absolute fascist insanity.

Sure would be nice if a single person pressed him on that stupid slogan, wherein he makes a lightly veiled threat about making Trump King.

I do not like Kathy Hochul, but occasionally, she says something right. Call out these people and call for their resignation and public shaming. No more CNN spots, no more high ranking jobs.

Current WIP would be wild grass, fruit juice, and a kitchen in thrall to perfecting burritos.

Once again I apologize on behalf of New York that Lee Zeldin has to be inflicted on the rest of the country.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing. Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

"Why won't women date young Republicans?" They name names in the article it better be brought up at every single press opportunity they give these assholes.

“Copyright growing pains.” Be right back I’m gonna rob the fed and call it Economic Growing Pains.

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

HELL YES

Having your protests turn violent is unlikely to bring about change because mobs en masse do not make good strategic decisions about targets.

Massive peaceful protests are *important* against a violent regime for a large number of reasons: striking fear in their hearts, establishing a habit of courage amongst our citizens, and opening lines of communication.

I have blocked this person, but I keep seeing people say things like this, and I’m begging people to understand two things. (1) Just because peaceful protest may not be sufficient to win this moment does not mean that it is not necessary. It is.

NEW KEN LIU. NEW KEN LIU. NEW KEN LIU.

It's incredible how after adjusting to Silksong this just looks so slow. Still can't beat Lost Lace but man I think I could speedrun HK now.

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

It's incredible watching someone confidently and smugly Dunning-Kruger themselves while actively accusing someone else of being Dunning-Krugered. Like an ouroboros of annoying.

Wow, what a place of honor! Highly esteemed deeds must be commemorated here! And there are probably valuables...

Today I learned there is such a thing as National Boss's Day, and that allegedly it is this Thursday and I SWEAR TO GOD that if I find out any of you have participated in such a craven act of subservience to the ownership caste I will find you and give you SUCH a noogie

That’s…honestly just kind of incredibly sad. But it’s not like you didn’t have a lifetime of choices.

Bummer for them. Are we just supposed to be held hostage by people who fear accountability? GIRL BYE.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

Not sure why it has taken until late 2025 to see this, but this is how you do it. Every time. For every one of these guests.

The true final Silksong boss is so atmospheric and cool.

Stop giving the goddamn SA your money.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

BUT HEY! THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

On Saturday mornings, when my anxious dog doesn’t have to be in the crate at all, she hops up in the couch after breakfast and wraps herself in her Spider-Man blanket, fully disappearing for a big nap. She is truly the avatar of the weekend. Be like Bailey. Eat and then sleep in.

Hey @rweingarten.bsky.social we still ok with this? Any comment? It’s ok to admit you were wrong.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

Look. The frogs work. The frogs are brilliant. Are they shitposting? Abso-fucking-lutely. But you gotta make the other guy feel so stupidly ridiculous. You gotta make him wake up, every morning, and go 'Today, I gotta lay out an inflatable frog' and experience the worst kind of existential dread.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Again, Trump has crossed a Red Line no president has ever crossed: personally ordering the criminal prosecution of an American he doesn't like despite DOJ not finding evidence of any crime. If Trump can do this to the powerful, he can do it to you. That's not freedom, and its not America.
