I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Conservatism is wrong. All forms of it, all expressions of it. There is no healthy compromise with it. It is – inherently – a negative. Stop acting as if it is a reasonable, valuable belief system. It inherently devalues / alienates all deviant speech and ideology. It is anti-human.

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

My kid needs money. She's trying not to just beg for it for free. So she's selling art commissions. Buy something will ya???

The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

Good things ARE possible and we can win.

Over time, I've come to believe that the defining moment of Batman: The Animated Series occurs at the end of "Two-Face Pt. I" where Harvey Dent's newly scarred face is revealed and instead of treating it like a scary/intimidating scene, the most horrified person is Harvey himself.

In Super Mario 64 DS, giant characters normally cannot crawl. However, reading a sign pounded halfway into the ground forces the character into a crawling pose. When giant, this results in the character's giant posterior completely blocking the entire screen.

When trans masc athletes start winning competitions regularly, they'll ban them too and use the excuse of "doping" to do it. That blows up their whole "biological sex" argument though.

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

📣 PLANES THAT DEPORT PEOPLE ARE FLYING MARCH MADNESS TEAMS TO GAMES! 🚨 ICE contractors GlobalX & Eastern Air Express have operated over 30 charter flights for at least 23 teams during this year's March Madness. Add your name & demand the NCAA stop funding ICE cruelty: bit.ly/dumpice

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

I'm sorry, what?!

Further proof that fear of “deep state” bureaucrats was always just about tearing down the old system and replacing it with unaccountable inhuman automation that serves racial capitalism and techno authoritarianism.

if you're a gamer you should know that the gaming industry has a disproportionately large number of trans people in it. and not just recently. even in the 80s, we had influential trans game designers. one that's always inspired me is danielle bunten berry. wikipedia: share.google/0lrnn3RqISvL...

I could never hate Alien Resurrection because its existence led to the immortal phrase "Too bad, Joss Whedon!"

Rising profits means rising valuations. Rising valuations means increasing equity. Equity sitting in a business, according to modern assumptions, is not making returns. So you take a loan on the equity and gamble on something that might make even more returns. This kills the profitable business.

They would not have stepped in on this had the public outcry been so loud, so please don't give them any credit.

ok seriously, WHY wasn't the Overture Sol Badguy on the far left used in the final game, that shit looks FIRE Nothing against his final design but holy SHIT

SBA guarantees close to 100,000 loans/year to small businesses. Immigrants own businesses at a higher rate than native-born U.S. residents. "any business that’s even partly owned by a permanent legal resident with a green card is no longer eligible for the loans" this is war on American small biz

The video game crash of the 1980s wasn't JUST caused by sales channel glut. It was also caused by greed. A lot of folks wanted to make a quick buck and games were making some people a lot of money. So funders jumped into the fray. It's no different today. The returns expected are enormous.

I agree with this statement. The evidence is all there. Believe it or not, gamers in 1984-1985 in North America didn't recognize video games as being in "a crash". It just felt like the fad that was over. Retailers wanted out badly. But many people still bought consoles and games during that time!

Every once in a while, I still think about this scene from the King of the Hill reboot, which was fantastic. And that comes from someone who grew up with the show. "It's nice to be nice." Such a simple and effective message.

Fuck the sports industry and fuck UFC in particular

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.
