I just think that-[multiple lawyers wrestle me to the ground and take my internet away]

25 years ago today, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US began its worldwide invasion on @newgrounds.com.

I feel like Dungeons & Dragons geeks like me could massively reorder the military in a far less disordered and embarrassing way than the weird history fetishists. NO MORE MULTI-CLASSING, PURE FIGHTERS ONLY. AND ONLY ONE RACE, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT AND I THINK YOU DO

"While this censorship might seem brazenly anti-constitutional to most Americans, it has been the reality faced by incarcerated individuals for decades. In the name of 'security,' prison officials have punished and even killed people for possessing literature they deemed suspect." @theintercept.com

"Hold on, we actually allow a failsafe" The failsafe: Having a birth certificate, ID, and being willing to sign an affidavit on penalty of perjury. This is what gendered administrative burdens look like. academic.oup.com/jpart/articl...

I was too optimistic.

It's really funny when men give an ultimatum like "It's me or your dog" and they actually think anyone would pick them. (This has now happened to multiple friends of mine, who all still have their dogs)

it took me way too long to make all of these, but all the legion stickers are done, I just ordered the last design earlier today, so they'll be available along with whatever i needed to restock some time next week.

A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of a man who had been in immigration detention due to "objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot."

For those who don’t know, Maine is one of the places - like Minnesota - that the federal government is specifically targeting, and ICE has kidnapped over 200 residents there since last week.

you're a third rate frotter with a fourth rate stroke

BRIAN TYLER COHEN: Last question -- is Tupac alive? OBAMA: He's alive on my playlist

have u tried the game i made? shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to make your own transforming hero oc!!! :3

“You want ICE agents to have to identify themselves before they try to kidnap or kill you, but you don’t want to have to present a birth certificate to be able to vote” I mean… yes

GNOSTICISM WITH CHILD RAPE NAZI DEMIURGE CHARACTERISTICS, BECAUSE AMERICA DID NOT EXECUTE ITS SEDITIOUS CHATTEL SLAVING TRAITOR REBELS

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Chicago’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection has at least temporarily shut down a local business operating as a “sex dungeon” in an attempt to determine where it fits in the city’s licensing code and whether it should be allowed to resume operations.

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny's philosophy of life was to do what seemed like a good idea at the time, and do it as hard as possible. It had never let her down.”

Kind’a weird that the primary emotion evoked in cyberpunk media is “jealousy of the living arrangements.” V has a soundproof apartment, gym, gun shop, public relaxation areas, and plenty of food stalls and vending machines within “half-awake in a bath robe” range.

“Valve’s refusal to moderate any of this is making Steam reviews and forums the battleground for some kind of culture war, and is making them unsafe for marginalised people and regular gamers trying to simply enjoy the game they bought.” (quote from a dev in the article. this is well said imo.)

an aggressive ant colony reduces the Keebler elves to a pile of bones and little outfits, but what sends a wave of deep unease around the world, the true source of fear, is how fast these ants are able to get cookie production ramped back up

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

correct! every post about fixing a broken games industry that involves [specific games industry tweaks] and not [destroying a speculation-mad executive class and using their bones for compost] is just wasting everyone's time

Libs love writing fan fiction where they're still huge losers who happily vote for shit candidates because it's good enough being OINO (Opposition In Name Only). You're already making shit up, dare to dream of a good candidate. You're a fucking slave to the party line and you stand for nothing.

Man, amazing how from when I was a kid growing up in a very right wing home that I hated liberals, and now I'm 34, very lefty, and hate liberals again.

It definitely will not, particularly at the price point they're selling it at. Part of the problem is that R* and others assume their entire gta 5 player base will jump to 6. This is foolish, because it's not a sports game, and everyone already has what they want and more with 5.

Staring into the middle distance over the resounding answer being "yes."

The fact that these sentences always end with "... which we will cram with more work for them" and not "... so we moved to a four-day workweek" really illustrate the hollowness of some AI evangelists' promises that AI will deliver us to some kind of post-work utopia.

Iconic Hudson Yards project tests Mamdani’s approach to development

I recorded all kinds of stuff on the set of Iron Lung in an attempt to find sounds that I could design into something musical and interesting that fit the film. This is how I got the idea for "Peel it Back". #ironlung

i dont know why so many liberals keep insisting that sticking up for the vulnerable and downtrodden is unpopular. in 2020 there were massive nationwide protests over police murdering black people and it energized the dem base and helped oust trump! normie libs like being the good guys, actually!

YALL TELL ME WHY THIS STEAKHOUSE PIANO PLAYER IS PLAYING THE DRY DOCKS THEME FROM SUPER MARIO 64

The teacher wasn’t fired, though. He quit twice. There’s no “potentially dangerous precedent” being set here, because the “Go Gestapo” guy wasn’t fired! Instead, we should be talking about LASD history teacher Ricardo Lopez, who was actually fired for opening a gate to keep his students safe.

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year. youtu.be/i1savUPr-yU

is america truly powerful? or does it only simulate power? is it a giant hologram? jimmy fallon

This is something we should think about across all writing intensive fields. Even if you're using the AI to turn notes into drafts, you are offloading the kinds of creative and epistemic decisions that drive the organization of your writing to a machine.
