The number of quote tweets crowing and cheering about this is nauseating. Workers lost their jobs! The bosses are still there! Why does that make you happy? Capital counts on you to be petty and small-minded and vindictive towards strangers instead of having a scrap of solidarity for the worker.

Thank god there are no gender studies classes anymore otherwise we might be able to figure out what's going on here.

First, I want to remind people of Microsoft's role in the genocide of Palestinians - bdsmovement.net/microsoft

The corporate state is underplayed in the definition of fascism. The distinctive promise of fascism is to discipline labor (and thereby eliminate the leftist threat) by uniting the government, industry, and the church to subdue it.

"Europeans hate aircon" is a self-reinforcing misconception perpetuated by the weird reply guys you attract by posting that take.

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

Sorry for discoursing, but calling games too easy and for babies is Nick Breckon / Idle Thumbs stolen valor.

lmao

gamers are going to make this stuff about them but the redistribution of computing power to be something only for the wealthy and corporate really sucks

Oh hell yeah GN dropped their video where they talked to everyone they could in the personal computing space and showed just how bad it is. youtu.be/zyQwAhppWj8?...

a powerful and devastating piece.

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Even if Microsoft wasn't subject to a boycott by the BDS movement, it's kind of embarrassing to dickride a company that has done as much damage to the games industry as Microsoft has. All that consolidation, M&A—only to conduct mass layoffs at its new acquisitions within a year. It's fuckin gross

if the bluesky devs could load your posts about "vibe coding" they'd be very disappointed

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.

doki doki literature club removed from google play for violating their terms on sensitive content if we don’t stop the safetyists soon then eventually the only legal media will be pop-up books that teach you how to tie your shoes

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

i take back every single nice thing i have ever said about marathon 2026 developed by bungie inc.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

If so, Europe must abandon the omnibus deregulatory onslaught and instead resuscitate its ability to plan the damn green transition

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

The loser in charge of running this account has copy+pasted this exact post in reply to four different trans journalists. If this were a person, we'd call this a crashout. No idea what to call it when it's a formerly respected news organization trying to push obvious misinformation.

For some reason The Last Spell is 90% off on steam for 1.99? I enjoyed it, nifty pixel graphic turn based game where you build your stronghold up, level your heroes each turn before zombies turn up and it becomes tactics gameplay store.steampowered.com/app/1105670/...

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

Me: I would like to see the pixel that the game developers made please my graphics card: that's too hard. what about some stuff we made up instead

It's amazing how far you can make it as a podcast host purely on the ability to go "damn, that's crazy" about easily disprovable nonsense some rich asshole offers up. The sense of smell was invented in the 1980s by deodorant companies? Sure, my guy. Wild.

the world is run by guys who think like this. every single industry

I have a new piece up at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social — it’s about when I got hacked in Dark Souls 2, used hacker tools to unhack myself, and then talked to my hacker years later

the strategy the british state are using with trans care is the exact same as with disability benefits; overwhelm undesirables in bureaucracy then definitively remove any positive outcomes, leading to excess death statistics visible from space

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Even if AI is successful beyond its boosters’ wildest dreams, there is still the inherent contradiction of a machine that kills off the people it needs to steal from

can't wait for all the think geek cargo shorts and pun graphic tees fedora wearing "m'lady" dweebs to come out of the woodwork having in the time since turned into bloodthirsty incel nazis yaaaaaay
