Me every time I hear one of Ezra Klein’s opinions:

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Coates says Black Americans have stories about relatives who were lynched or had to flee and that a life free of political violence is not in reach in his time Klein: "Sometimes I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic." They lynched a kid last week.

Saw someone discuss aneurism IV, they talked about both factions being irredeemable. Except one faction is the oppressor crushing everyone down into paste, and the other side is violent extremists deadset on breaking everything. If you can't tell the difference between them. I'm sorry for you.

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

The actual global problems that could be solved with a couple hundred billion. Like... all of them.

the task of making a very unusual city for our game has fallen upon me. get psyched

"... I’ve been right about everything.”

Oh no... Andrew Dice wasn't just a cool, friendly pillar of the community, he was one of the people most influential in bringing down the boundaries between the Japanese indie games scene and the rest of the world. He opened doors and brought so many great stories to us. Farewell to a real one.

Klein is a puppet with Theil's hand deep up his ass, as @katewillett.bsky.social's writing makes quite clear. That's why he is considered Kirk a "colleague"🤢 He's not a voice in the tent, he's bindweed in the garden that will choke out real growth if left unchecked newintermag.com/abundance-bi...

Comedian Zach Woods calls out comedians who are performing in Saudi Arabia’s comedy festival

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

if there's anything that jumps out about Nordic success in my reporting, it is "competent management" prospect.org/world/2025-0...

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

this exists it is called thinking

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

will every pundit who mentions ICE today begin with stern admonishments that violence is never the answer, because it sure seems like ICE sees violence as the answer

If anyone actually thinks this is about following the law and established regulations and not just some rubber stamp to break out any time they like. I got an island in the Pacific for you to buy time shares in.

This is precisely the problem, the refusal by centrist elites to differentiate between challenging ideas and debunked lies. It's not "challenging" to hear that black people are stupid or gay people are degenerates, it's just wrong.

If I could communicate one thing about vintage electronics it's that if something older than 20 years has been sitting around for a long, long time, DO NOT JUST TURN IT ON. There is a chance the electrolytic capacitors have died (best case) or they've exploded and covered the inside with crap.

i do see corruption as the lens through which this all has to be tackled though. they are stealing from us. they are gorging themselves on the fruits of your labor and stacking the deck so hopelessly against you. no one today reasonably feels they can get redress from the government and that's toxic

So, y'all. Whatever you choose to do, please do it conscious of the fact that RW folx are *definitely* hunting for ppl who say anything "out of line" about That Guy exiting stage left. My recent experience attached. I'm just some rando who owns a small business.

Crazy how the “we can have different opinions and still be friends” crowd acts when someone has a different opinion from them

The topsoil grifter machine attempting to paint the narrative as anything but this has their work cut out for them because this is just objectively the funniest outcome and is inherently compelling.

Hey everyone. Reminder that this place has had a giant influx of contrarian time wasters. If they are there arguing objective reality with you or trying to quibble. Block and move you gain nothing by engaging with these shitheads. They are not here in good faith.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Who's running cancel culture again?

I don’t think this would have happened if the larger games media world shut down that anti-Sweet Baby shit on Day 1. I’ve beat this drum a lot, and will beat it again: I really think this problem has festered since games journalists abdicated responsibility to resist the RW tide in gaming

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the right declared war on the left without any evidence the left was even involved. Today, multiple threats at historically black colleges/universities and at the DNC in D.C. Tell me about the inflammatory rhetoric causing violence, please.

I feel like @mattielubchansky.com has us all covered on this one today

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way 🔗 www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Seems like the rules are: As long as you call for extermination politely and pretend people brought it on themselves you are to be lauded for your insight. If you respond in anger you deserve a boot.

Another great job at Assembly Four, this time for a Senior Systems Engineer. Come work with me! I genuinely like working at A4 with the awesome people and correct vibes.

"universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses" -- hmmm interesting

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

I think I speak for everyone today when I say: Rest in Peace Haru Urara

This explains it better than I can

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

I buy... A lot of indie games. I'm one of those terrible steam collector accounts. So many games 0 playtime. Because I wanna support. I really should go through them drop a couple hours on each a put in a review. Fuck that would take a long long time.

lmao what is this fuckery

How can this be?! I was told AI was INEVITABLE. I should just get used to the idea! I just learn to use it! Live with it!

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

In case you were afraid the positive reception to the SH2 remake meant Bloober Team had somehow suddenly become less terrible, rest assured they are still shit!
