If you TRULY care about the world and people in it, you realize that WE'RE A RICH COUNTRY and have no excuse to be miserly cheap motherfuckers with our own citizens (and help abroad) and that's true asshole shit. Cheap racist sacks of shit. Fiscally conservative, you're a selfish prick

All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do

one of the most insane aspects of all of this is that "a wide ranging government crackddown after a handful of newspaper cranks said insane things based on misunderstood cherrypicked papers" is considered illegitimate in every field of endeavor except this one

Today, April 20th, 2026 is the 20th Anniversary of the release of Mother 3 in Japan. It has yet to be officially localized in any language.

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

I have pictures of people pulled up trying to make Miis and they still look nothing like them???

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

we need more public options, sorry

Slay the Spire 2 multiplayer fucks

the simple truth is if AI was so great and powerful we would see some killer apps, we havent seen shit, its been years, its over

When you’re so tired you feel your brain repairing as soon as your eyes close

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty

when people joke about the site crashing because of ai or vibecoding or whatever, it's very funny that the smug tech-brains not only get very upset but also are like errrrrm excuse me it wasn't ai we're just bad at it

BREAKING: Prosecutors in Minnesota have charged an ICE agent with two counts of assault related to a road rage incident. A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

even if vibe coding wasnt responsible for these outages like we know it is, that means it was entirely unable to prevent these, which in the software world is the same shit

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

it doesn't matter how good your argument is if you are arguing with a person who is committed to misunderstanding you, and also has nothing to do other than argue

I worked for 10 years as a software dev, was fortunate among my friend group for many years to make enough (couldn’t afford a house but never stressed about money), in the past 6 years or so I watched myself slip from a life of relative comfort to one that I knew if the money stopped flowing it bad

Student loans are starting again. My gfs will likely be 600 dollars a month. Wonder what the economists will say about how fine that is cause she got a 1 dollar an hour raise

There should be something where you get money just for being alive on account of you need it to live

Is there a neighborhood where every economist lives that is rent stabilized with municipal groceries? Do they ever go outside? The cost of living is impossible to ignore if you handle your own finances at all

This Tax Day 287 major companies are avoiding $139,256,870,000 in taxes on $1 trillion of their 2025 profits.

apparently they didn’t talk to a single person in minneapolis about this

It is endlessly fascinating how obsessed so many academics and liberal thought leaders are with the famine in the USSR in the early 1930s. These same people never mention the famines caused by their countries which impact the global south-

I know the bubble pop is gunna be awful but god damn it needs to happen

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him. Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics

ICE is arresting delivery drivers at a San Diego military base. According to an attorney interviewed by Kate Morrissey, military police at the gates call ICE on any driver who is not a citizen or green card holder, even if they have permission to be in the country. capitalandmain.com/ice-has-arre...

I also have a lot to say about how so many of “narrative” games exist essentially because of capitalism; it’s a way to intentionally select a smaller market for your story to get seen and picked up, with literally a few exceptions, no video game narrative can hold a candle to other mediums best

A lot of games narrative discourse has a simple answer; game narratives mostly suck, and that dissonance exacerbates the more grounded and “serious” the subject matter of the game

Picross is a mom game

the death of liberal democracy is here. and it’s all for a genocidal apartheid state. unbelievable.

i have an idea for weeding out extremists, it's called defund the police

this week, a woman told me she might be trans but she's "just a femboy" because she feels nervous about HRT I told her she doesn't need HRT to be a trans woman, but that I strongly recommend trying it she said if someone said that to her earlier she would have already transitioned years ago

After decades of working in the tech industry, I'm convinced that the jobs most easily replaced by AI are the typical senior executive roles occupied typically by mediocre white men. AI can already generate plausible-sounding and confidently wrong takes. That's 90% of the job.

the more inequality grows, the more every ultrabillionaire on the planet should be fearing for their safety at all times

I don't care about Hasan Piker and he doesn't matter, but if it's Gavin v Vance, I'm out. They're the same dude. Slimy dipshit ghoulish oppprtunists. Neither is getting my vote

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

my hot take: a bunch of you are getting mad at what’s essentially the Kids Choice Awards

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”

i think a good rule is if someone is fleeing the republican party, they have to shut the fuck up entirely and defer to the people they want to be a part of now lest they want to get shoved back onto the sinking ship they so desperately want to escape

i think a lot of people are unhappy because we have completely forgotten that we are animals and our brains expect us to co-exist with other animals in our ecosystem as well as other life/entities, thinking we have evolved beyond that (or that is even something to strive for) IS the problem

a person using the term "vibecession" is an immediate sign everything else they're saying can be safely ignored

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.

If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
