A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

it was 5-4 on what should be the most dog-brained fucking easy question in history, i wouldn’t be popping the champagne personally

hakeem jeffries says tomorrow they're putting flavor in the nutrient paste! freedom doesn't just rule it rocks!

of course the blade game is on the chopping block. you know why.

Just narrowly avoided cracking my fucking skull open by an inch after tumbling down the stairs, reaffirming my decision to have another beer. This is a proud day for America.

trans rights IS all of our fight, actually. if this isn't something that you also can recognize then there's zero point in sharing any "big tent" or whatever with you.

We’re excited to announce our endorsement of @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Abdul is the leader this moment demands. As a physician, public health leader, and lifelong Michigander, he has dedicated his career to improving working people’s lives.

I think it's true that the propagandizing over the last decade has really been a true *effort* within the right. That's obvious. But I do think it's really important to understand the degree to which "allies" are willing, perhaps happy even, to sacrifice our rights for a shockingly low price.

If only someone could have seen this coming, WoTC might not have burnt every bridge they had before BG3 was even finished patching.

The idea that Trump wouldn't have used this as a mandate and willy nilly rounded up every first-generation non-white American by the end of the year had ONE person's vote gone differently is delusional. Things would've gotten very hot very fast.

fuck the court and fuck every "it sucks but we gotta cave on sports, people have legitimate concerns, they'll definitely leave trans people alone after this" shithead on the way there

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

republicans project 2025: what if we proposed a wholesale conservative takeover of literally everything under the sun. all of it. everywhere. democrats project 2029: what if we maybe sort of banned kids from phones?

ah good, the Republican Project 2025 was a playbook for rolling out Christofascism and the Democrats have responded with Project 2029, a plan for permanent electoral irrelevance

Debate for HR 7757 just ended. Not a single Democrat spoke in opposition to the bill. The vote is expected tonight and this bill will be catastrophic if it passes. Call your representatives. Be kind to the staffers who answer, but do not hide your anger.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

finally putting one of my stupid domain name purchases to "good" use

these movie monsters are getting too scary looking, wonder if this thing is cg or practical effects

We’re gonna eat Five Dollar Rogers’ lunch in November😊

scenes without mommy’s face in them are unnecessary in movies. it does nothing to advance the story of where did mommy go

"You gotta check out this viral animated web show dude, it's about a bunch of weirdos trapped in a simulated world, but get this: it's also about trau--"

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

It is so fucking refreshing to see a politician who isn't ashamed to be on the (relatively speaking) left.

There's three or four more from the New York Times (ofc), two from the Bulwark, and a particularly odious episode of Pod Save Bros (ofc).

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

🚨AFTER 33 MONTHS, I BRING YOU THE SINGLE LARGEST CREATIVE PROJECT OF MY LIFE 🚨: THE NAMCO MUSEUM MUSEUM: EVERY GAME, EVERY COLLECTION, EVERY PORT! EVERY RELEASE, EVERY REGION, NO EXCEPTIONS! I've meticulously studied & presented EVERY single instance of Namco's historic game collections, for you!

Final Fantasy VII (PS1, 1997)

Oh man. Riot partnering with the fascist streamer platform is extremely not good. www.riotgames.com/en/news/riot...

people will understandably defend ai looking through the lens of productivity or research, but dealing with this kind of dogshit is most normal people’s actual interaction, and they’re right to despise tech for it

i miss cohost man

vindicated on my longheld belief that the dems could've won way more often even without giving lefties like me anything if they just poured money into the basic on the ground fundamentals instead of consultants and ads, but they don't, didn't, and won't

god what an unforced disaster to take the team that built and maintained Destiny 2 and just smash it into the rocks instead of investing in whatever that big pile of talent and skill can build next

"Shorts is getting a makeover" I say right before eating a birria taco directly over my lap.

i do not wish the game industry a "shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less." i wish the game industry a "unionize and redistribute capital equitably"

obviously you know any layoffs happening at bungie are horrible but hearing the sandbox and Raid/Dungeon teams have been almost completely gutted is just. insane. some of the best game designers in the industry. crafters of some of the most unique and engrossing challenges ever in a game.

The iPhone price going up is going to be the thing that makes normal people catch up to the RAM crisis the same way power bills were for data centers. You can avoid games, you can’t avoid phones.

my feed today: apple: it’s fucking over microsoft: it’s fucking over supreme court: it’s fucking over video game devs: it’s fucking over Wario64: undertale $2.49 on steam rn

Every AI booster who hand waved away the issues with data centers is also responsible, every one of them claiming this capex is reasonable, rational or necessary too. What an ugly, wasteful and destructive era, almost entirely powered by deception and theft.

Everyone involved in the ai bubble must be held accountable once it bursts, and nobody is more responsible than Microsoft. They were the catalyst for this entire era, and the reason it kept going too. Satya Nadella may do more damage to the tech industry than Sundar Pichai in the end
