As soon as I found out this game existed, I went to pre-order it. I’m fascinated by the history of urban “development” and NBS has accomplished something important and fascinating here. Can’t wait to get this one to a table soon.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

David Cross folks.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

I'm a libertarian and that's why I believe thousands of US soldiers should be sent into American cities even if state authorities don't want them there.

"...if we build a bus lane, it will have immediate consequences for cars. But at some point, we have to have that courage. The car can no longer be king and lord in the city of Lisbon." ❤️

Public transit is so important to a harmonious society. If the trolley/bus came predictably every day no one would be late to work. They’d leave on time. Pick the kids up on time, allowing the caregivers to go home on time. Everyone’s day is better. Just one example among many.

Think about how mad this guy must be that all of his colleagues get to brutalize brown folks with impunity but he got singled out for punishment.

Command & Conquer is 30 🤯 I spent my entire adolescence there. 😂 And the series gave us this splendid ode to space. A flawless performance by Tim Curry.

One (two!) of my favorite Tolkien illustrators are the Brothers Hildebrandt. There's a joy to their artwork that shines through. Join me on an thread of some of my favorite pieces. 🧵

Imagine how the goons are seething through gritted teeth right now

Great thread on Paulina Borsook and her prophetic warnings about tech libertarianism (see also David Golumbia and others).

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

It's really cool how, all of the billionaires who got rich off of America, seeing that democracy is under threat, are using the weight and power of their fortunes to stand up for what is right and defend American democracy during its darkest hour.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

A new exploit allows threat actors to bypass the web application firewalls of nine vendors. The attack abuses parameter pollution techniques and was found by security firm ETHIACK. It was tested against 9 WAFs in 17 different configurations. blog.ethiack.com/blog/bypassi...

My local TV listing from the night it premiered. I am not sure I would have seen The X-Files that night if its lead-in had not been The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. with Bruce Campbell.

Over the last few years friends and colleagues have looked askance at me for using Apple instead of Android because open source or whatever. But (1) commercial Android increasingly isn’t open, and (2) tonight yet another friend noticed their OS reading Signal messages and recording keystrokes.

Texting with wife who is more than halfway through Tour de Mt. Blanc with her crew. She mentioned meeting some other hikers. Me: Be careful. Her: Why Me: Bad things happen when you find a stranger in the Alps Her: I don’t know what that means but I sense you have been waiting to use it

All of these “leaders” are weak, craven, and driven by greed. They’ll all go down in history as willful accomplices in a fascist takeover of the U.S. I guess on one hand, bravo to Trump for exposing them all in one place and at one time. I can’t wait to hear how they explain this in their memoirs.

Sigourney Weaver on Alien Earth "I'm really enjoying it. What I admire about it is the scope is so much more profound than just an Alien movie. It's about our world and what's dominating the world in 100 years, and to me it's right on."

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.

Title: The Hobbit Author: JRR Tolkien (ready by Andy Serkis) Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can't go wrong with the combination of Tolkien and Serkis. Absolutely loved the audiobook version. (In the Covid-19 pandemic Serkis read this book in a 9 hour continuous sitting to entertain us - what a guy!) #booksky

Laying the groundwork for when we eventually find Trump’s name all over the files and the victims provide descriptions of his activities.

Sooooo. Damned. Good. from @radleybalko.bsky.social

Jesus Bluesky’s video player is such trash

This #Cowboys documentary series brings back such fond memories of watching them play with my grandad, my Emmit Smith Reeboks, my Starter jacket 😂 But I was really hoping for more of an exposé on that slick-talking ghoul from boggy creek that owns the team.

I mean this is obviously problematic but I’ll just say: couldn’t have happened to a better person.

This is a very helpful guide. I believe we’ve reached the stage of the proceedings where it would be a good idea to study this, especially if traveling. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

The Onion will be available in almost every Barnes & Noble in the country starting this month! “RFK Jr. Fires Piss Czar” will be a visible headline sitting directly next to Bon Appetit and Guns & Ammo.

There is a lot of disagreement about what qualifies as a "burner phone," but learning to put together a device that protects your most sensitive data from surveillance and seizure by govts and law enforcement is good, actually.

What would you call this if you saw it happening in another country? apnews.com/article/redi...

We have literally reached the “kidnapping political opponents” stage of America’s fascist downfall. Cool cool cool.

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

Somewhere @radleybalko.bsky.social is just shrugging his shoulders and sighing deeply.

An entire US political party is just fine knowing that their leader is in the pocket of the Russian President. It’s just insane. Absolutely bonkers. It would be incomprehensible to anyone who didn’t live to see the 21st century.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but - the xenomorph is not the villain of the original Alien film. Corporate greed and artificial intelligence are the villains. #Alien

This, but also the Weimar political elite and German industrialists who thought they could control and leverage Hitler’s willingness to use violence to their own ends. This is the very thing happening now with Trump, who is solidly backed by the GOP power brokers, crypto bros, and wealthy CEOs.

I am no man ⚔️

Don’t believe the narrative from politicians that DHS/FBI/DEA agents don’t want to be Trump’s goons. All it takes is the millions of videos floating around the internet to see that many relish it. Those who don’t are fine with it. They were bred for this. They’re salivating to crack skulls.
