You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Going back to the job I generally enjoy tomorrow after being off for 3 weeks

There is no constitutional crisis. Congress just refuses to do its job.

Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

Now that "early 2026" is upon us, I need Valve to start shipping the Steam Frame and Steam Controller yesterday, thank you

For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

Amid reports of explosions around Caracas, the US FAA issued a new NOTAM prohibiting US aircraft from operating at all altitudes within Venezuelan airspace as of 0600Z today, 3 Jan. Flightradar24 is not currently tracking any aircraft over Venezuela. www.flightradar24.com/airport/ccs

At least so far I am enjoying Silksong more than Hollow Knight, especially when they lean into the fucked up nature of their setting

Found a sad story on Steam. A game called Pixelshire (cozy life sim game) released in May 2025 to really bad reviews. I had it wishlisted. steamdb.info/app/1846720/ Game got published through Maximum Entertainment, and the dev blames them for rushing the game out. steamcommunity.com/app/1846720/...

Well at least she's getting the authentic FS2020 experience.

The holiday is over. Please get those garish blue lights off your house. Thank you.

Silksong is quite slow and boring for its first couple hours, but I will give it credit, it is far nicer to look at than its predecessor.

Merry Christmas to me in Old-School RuneScape, got the Dragon Scimitar unlocked and the Dragon Defender to drop tonight. #runescape #osrs

If you are American (or visit America) and need something to share with family during the holiday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o...

"To check the status of your pre-order, join our Discord, make sure to go to the channels and roles tab, check on the column for the product, then wade through 400 messages to find updates tucked somewhere in between memes and mods yelling at people asking what the status is" We have strayed so far

RuneScape guides are funny beacuse they all say stuff like "getting the Falador Hard achievement diary is vital to beating the Giant Mole" so you look up the Falador Hard achievement diary and one of the steps on it is "beat the Giant Mole"

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

staring at Shin Megami Tensei 5, Persona 3 Reload, and Metaphor ReFantazio on my wishlist in the Steam Sale and trying to remind myself that playing three massive JRPGs is just... not going to happen

Cringe ass speech

Don't let people enjoy things. If someone enjoys something you don't, they're wrong. Also you're wrong for thinking they're wrong. Also the thing itself is wrong. Everyone go to jail

#BREAKING: New drone video from Pacific, WA, on Tuesday morning following a levee failure on the White River at Pacific City Park. Whole neighborhoods are underwater as water continues flowing out of the failed levee. #wawx #flood #drone

The levee in Tukwila (south of Seattle) has failed and they're warning of severe flash flooding #wawx www.king5.com/article/weat...

Date night with Wake Up Dead Man. Netflix ruined the theatrical release so this one is at home.

Total level 1000 in Old-School RuneScape 🎉

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Have a 6 foot tall piece of tempered glass shatter in my hands (I am uninjured, don't worry. Always wear PPE eye and hand protection.)

Finally saw the Divinity trailer, and wow do I appreciate that Larian is going full fucked up with the vibes straight from the jump.

I guess I can finally tell people that I'm writing on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, the spiritual successor to my childhood. I want to say something clever right now, but my heart's in my stomach and my words are slowly floating into the darkness of space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAmk...

Star Wars is lost in the modern era but I will show up for literally anything set in the Old Republic

Our kitchen sink water filter started leaking, so we got a plumber here fixing stuff. Blessing in disguise, as he's replacing our demon water faucet too. Never buy Moen MotionSense. It fails incredibly stupidly.

AI hucksters crave the legitimacy of being treated like what they do is comparable to actually doing work. They fundamentally understand they're doing something inferior, so they lie to hide that their output is AI, and then try to assert and convince you it's real work when you point out the slop.

I am rapidly becoming a single-issue voter and that issue is "throwing people with poorly aimed, way too bright aftermarket car headlights directly into a wolf den"

Artists always say "you don't need generative AI, pick up a pencil and learn to draw". And turns out they're right and it's fun as hell, even if you suck because you're a beginner. Way more satisfying than ComfyUI. Glad I can contribute to my oshis' art tags. #AmareAtelier #PIHAKKASO

Hello, South King County! The ribbon has been cut, the confetti has flown, and three new Link light rail stations are open for travel. The celebration isn’t over. Follow for more at Federal Way Downtown, Star Lake and Kent Des Moines stations🎉 #1Line #SoundTransit #SouthKingLink

Good morning from the grand opening of the Federal Way Link light rail line!

Trying to think of what clear, quasi-universally-accepted good software design has come during his tenure. Maybe dynamic island? Maybe the Siri refresh? 9to5mac.com/2025/12/03/a...

NixOS 25.11 upgrade went okay on the first machine I ran it on, there were a number of failures. My config needed +26 -26 changes plus disabling two packages.

Knives Out is still a perfect movie.

"All the project information/updates/instructions/help are in the Discord" is going to be viewed as a great information disaster in the far future. I mean, it's a disaster now. But it'll have that legacy.

David Sacks is a lying sack of shit who will take any handout he can get, every single time, and every American should treat him as a conniving, extorting enemy at all times.

Thanks to the Wolf and Moonlight open source projects, I finally have a home game streaming setup I'm happy with. Enshrouded is unplayable on Steam Deck normally, but it's running pretty great here. Lots of games I didnt bother with because of Deck performance. games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/
