Secret Service shot a kid today

finally, someone has solved the problem of household pets not giving you explicit instructions and encouragement to self harm

you'll maybe notice the journalism on this stuff doesn't take that last bit into account there's a weird normalization bias in most regulatory reporting that incorrectly assumes government agencies still actually functioning the public interest and aren't now blunt hammers for dim and corrupt boys

the other thing is that at the same time the FCC's Brendan Carr and Trump do this sort of stuff, they're gutting all corporate oversight and government cybersecurity staffing and functions with their other hand, which is probably exponentially more harmful to U.S. consumer privacy and security

do you like having to pay significantly more money for computing hardware to justify performative xenophobia by corrupt autocrats? well do I have some good news for you

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

Those books & docs are also the reason any of us know what's going on in there.

I don’t think this person understands the goal wasn’t to get more cult members believing the world was out to get them, it was to help abused people escape and prevent new people from being abused. Which those books and documentaries actually did.

Just watched a Square Enix interview with Hiroyuki Ito about Dungeon Encounters, which includes pearls of game design wisdom such as "I put a value of 12 there because it felt right" and "I can't remember what that's for".

Remember we're also witnessing the birth of Orwellian newspeak "Doxxing" from them can just mean that your public facing account is completely pants-down humiliated by insightful leftists, sex workers, trans & queer furries who show up with "facts" and "citations" that makes them "Look Bad."

You pieces of dogshit conceded ground on public school funding for decades which put our kids behind and now you want to line your pockets with AI cash? Now you can find the money for the kids? You worthless asshole.

i did not endure years of the unfunniest people parroting charlie the unicorn for people to now be saying this

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

it’s never too late to start learning how to draw - and as frustrating as it sounds, it’s a lifelong endeavor. if you pick up the pen today, you will be experiencing the same emotions, setbacks, euphoria, and accomplishments as someone who is sitting down for the 1826th consecutive day.

People act like not using GenAI is sooo hard when it is the NEUTRAL, coward position. Being ANTI-AI is the mildest of effort. I don't patronize bars, restaurants, foodtrucks, escaperooms, ANYTHING that uses it and it's EASY. I do not hide disdain for it with strangers, friends, even my chat. GET GUD

pouring one out for a homie. Thank you, Jeeves.

Get a load of this early concept art for Sonic Adventure we found in our archives!

swear to god nothing has radicalized like me like watching rich men burn our planet, dry up our freshwater and poison our kids to invent the world’s most powerful technology — a robot chick who laughs at all their jokes

EXCLUSIVE: Elk River veteran Mike Foley is challenging House Majority Whip Tom Emmer for the Republican endorsement tomorrow. Foley plans not to abide by the endorsement and face Emmer in the Aug. 11 primary if he doesn't earn it.

The rich people of today only have two ideas: 1. Let’s kill everyone 2. I need a bunker so after we kill everyone I can emerge from underground, spread my wings like a peacock, and continue to be rich

Bring back the ancient knowledge

the plot of Metal Gear Solid becomes more believable as you get older and realize that yeah, your boss probably would spend millions of dollars cloning one lightly insane but reasonably competent employee rather than try to hire and train someone new

it’s that time again!

From extreme heat on the job to flooding at home, working-class people are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. In Chicago, unions and tenant organizers are pushing a “green economic populism” that tackles climate and affordability together.

my dear friend renata price has been working painstakingly hard on this, and it's possibly my favorite work of hers, which is saying something considering everything she's done is singular in craft and care. get this in front of your eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoWg...

More evidence of how fucking chock-full of eugenics silicon valley iss, has been, and will continue to be if steps aren't taken to name, acknowledge, and dismantle those connections. '“All my fundees have blue eyes.” [Jeffrey] Epstein and the tech world’s dark ideology'

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

TONIGHT AT 8:30PM ET! We're going back to the island, and this time it's personal. It's more TOMODACHI LIFE! twitch.tv/secretsleepoversociety

it won’t be hard to discern to people in the future that the first black president led to a relentless and hyper-radical effort by conservative elites to destroy not only the voting rights act but reconstruction itself.

Perfect timing for @princesmweekes.bsky.social’s new video that is this exact topic. (Watched it on Nebula, she remains one of the best video essayists on YouTube) youtu.be/jgOSjTwSVfU?...

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

Crap like Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic have helped break folks' understanding of how media review criticism is supposed to work. Finding one thoughtful critic to read/watch whose preferences you align with OR are fundamentally opposed to is more useful in finding work you'll love than any aggregate.

the indoor smoking bans of the 90's and 00's were the last genuinely great win for organized labor in this country and absolutely could not happen today, trying to reopen this door actively sets us back as a civilization, don't give them an inch

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

video games used to look so cool, dude

CEO speak is so brutally, inexcusably insane and cruel.
