Good thread.

Whatcha say ma boy? You wanna know what's in this coffin? Now I says I says Heaven or hell

Legitimately mind-boggling to see so many people who are supposed to be reasonably smart actually taking seriously anything that was said in that piece. Like, we talk about Twitter cooking people’s brains, y’all should be careful about letting your brain be cooked too!

Art.

It should be considered shameful to stay in office until you die of old age.

This is what you get when you give up on Reconstruction. We need to finish the job.

Do it, coward. Investigate Obama. Arrest him. Parade him like Luigi. I triple dog dare ya.

Hey, in case anyone was wondering, the Nine Inch Noize album whips ass.

If true, this would be an excellent way for anyone with an AM4 system (anything with a Ryzen prior to the 7000-series) that uses it primarily for gaming to extend the life of that system (especially relevant in this age of obscene RAM pricing). The 5800X3D is a beast of a gaming CPU, even today.

I can’t be the only one who thinks Beck’s “I’m So Free” sounds quite a bit like Garbage’s “Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)”.

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted. Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more. /1

Ah yes, scolding your base, that’s a winning strategy.

Left those house today and encountered the most diabolical bathroom stall I’ve ever seen.

Tom is right.

You don’t need me to tell you this video is great. You already know it is. What I *am* here to tell you, though, is that this ain’t even the half of it.

Here, I made a silly bleepy loop. I need to get better but hey I made a thing!

trying to post through it rn

Brutal

Whoa, rare Taco Time cameo on my feed!

Aw darn guys, we’ll get ‘em next time! There definitely won’t always be one or two Dems ready and willing to cross the aisle to make sure good things don’t happen!

my experience today specifically (and a deviation from my previous iteration of this joke)

My god, I may finally be able to replace Lightroom. That would be it, I could finally be free from Adobe Products. Incredible!

Whenever I hear this song that Tim Follin somehow managed to conjure out of the ZX Spectrum's shitty little 1-bit beeper, I'm reminded that the thing that originally excited me about computers as a child was that they can be a limitless canvas for creative expression

if any of y'all mainly talk to other bluesky users it may not be apparent how much this is going on with normies because people doing this now aren't talking to you about it they're instead having their conversations with chatgpt about whether having a conversation with chatgpt is really a good idea

I feel like absolutely nothing gives away the game more than Republicans freaking out about teen pregnancy going *down*.

This is genuinely one of the best videos to ever grace the internet, IMO

It's probably not strange at all but just the general feeling that companies aren't making products for consumers anymore. Seems like companies just want to make things for other companies. Probably because the wealth is concentrated there while being drained from consumers. Not good.

We gotta kick Palmer Luckey outta retro gaming I’m sick of seeing him throwing his loser ass government contract money around in my hobby

since JD Vance is new to Catholicism, let me explain that when the head Bishop writes a public letter specifically calling out your theological errors and reminding you that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, that's considered "bad"

you ever think about how fast we got from 'take the red pill' to chatbot family planning

I encounter this ALL THE TIME. People think there's a magic number of years after which you can become a citizen. This is not the case.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

really important context in this thread about..... why there are video games about some topics and not others

this is harrowing and involves so many failure points in how our society works. you're goddamn right ai is involved so sorry Shane this is TERRIBLE

Okay, okay! I dusted off my Circuit Tracks! I bleeped some bloops! I'm working on it, I swear!

C’mon man

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

This is like when the New York Times interviews people off the street and then you look back and see that they’ve interviewed that same person over and over again.

In all seriousness, Swalwell and Gonzales resigning does signal shame does actually work. For the longest time, Washington has been immune to shame and even the most disgraced scandal-ridden politicians don't leave unless they are made to. Shame does work

It's so fucking weird that literally all of Zuckerberg's company is now just marketed directly at him, *he* is the person they are marketing at. All his products are a mirror he can look in and see himself, and he can't understand why he would want to make things other people want.

A real indictment of things that we have a society that lets this happen. No one should be able to burn the GDP of a small nation on a failed project and proceed as if nothing happened and jump straight to another GDP-of-a-small-nation project without blinking an eye. This is a recipe for disaster.

It’s honestly kinda impressive just how poorly the DX12 version of Witcher 3 runs. The DX12 “Low” preset runs worse than the DX11 “Ultra+” preset. Why release it like that? Why not fix it at some point over the three years it’s been out? Even using DLSS doesn’t help much at all. What a mess.

Hate it when the Catholic Church is political. This sort of thing would have never happened before [current year]!

I’ll be honest: I don’t why, after we all saw what happened with video streaming services over the years, anyone looked at Game Pass was offering and thought it was a good idea.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

This is what should have been done in the US on Day 1 of the Biden administration, and what will need to be done on Day 1 of whatever comes after Trump.

it's really interesting to me how the world is fascist today because of liberalism basically, in the 1960s or so, a bunch of then-young dem types entered the government with the goal of deregulating banking. over the years, as governments like clinton's/obama's failed to prosecute, rich got richer

It's so nice to see some good news.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
