this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

“restoring faith that better is possible” is maybe the most important thing in politics right now outside of imposing consequences on the bad people (and imposing consequences would help restore faith) we have seen what cynical, “lol nothing matters” politics leads to and it leads to Donald Trump

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

The Democratic establishment crash-out is a wonderous thing to see. A bunch of people, their organization named after democracy, unable to handle the results of just a few popular elections, appealing to the unspoken rules of a club they thought belonged exclusively to them. Let's do it everywhere.

Ignore the fact that you've eaten the same ice cream for 30 years without issue, it's YOUR FAULT for not asking or checking the NEW ingredients. Cool. Cool.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.

Christian Nationalism is a cancer on society

Just reinventing furry hate from first principles. Every liberal just wants a socially acceptable way to other and shun groups they don't like personally

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

Last time the Knicks were NBA champions was the year the DOJ charged Fred & Donald Trump with housing discrimination based on race.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

another comm for @kirbybakerthealch.bsky.social !! Kris and Chris working on some pottery~ #art #furry #furryart #commission

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

since AF came to their senses re: using refs and such, I will be participating! here's my page: artfight.net/~neoscottie

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

NEW: Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said it is time for the Democrats to ignore party leaders, embrace a “new vision,” and call for the abolishment of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

Sometimes you write a tiny little thing in a couple of minutes and it’s just one task among others during a very very busy day but you find out it lands just right. Anyway, yeah, I came up with that and yes, this was 100% my intent.

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Links here where you can donate to support a trans woman who is facing felony charges for defending herself against fascists.

🚨 BOOST 🚨 Please help her out. One of the people who assaulted her was a Patriot Front Nazi. Of course the cops didn't arrest him, and now she's facing charges and will need legal funding.

So I’ve been unemployed since March and the games industry is hell if anyone’s company is looking for a crack principal game programmer, I am the crazy jack of all trades programmer/designer that can get your game shipped on time and in budget Hit me up, my DMs are open

Been laughing at this for 45 minutes straight

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.
