Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.

You know, sometimes I read some news, and I'm like:

Wizened Millennials sneering at Gen Alpha: I told you the old ways are best (Gen X, petting its moldering set of the 1983 World Book Encyclopedia: Soon. Soon.)

It's good to be skeptical but I trust Malwarebytes on this: www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20... And this seems to point towards training AIs: support.google.com/mail/answer/... "When smart features are on, your data may be used to improve these features"

Don’t drop your guard. He and his scum are leaving to terrorize other cities but the other agencies stay behind to kidnap and terrorize. People took eyes off LA when the guard left, but the terror has not. It’s a red herring for media attention and it’s been working. Charlotte is not free from this.

...Not The Onion. 😐

A reminder that I’ve archived every public-facing web page from the CDC website prior to the Trump Regime purging data back in late January: acasignups.net/cdc-website

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus. We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!

Raleighites can be extremely cold to newcomers. They better be.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end. It was Dragon Wars remastered. Jennell Jaquays was art directing.

God damn it, this is terrible. She was inspiration to so many, wtf.

In the name of saving money, I am going to be trying to bleach my hair instead of getting it done at the salon. I am very scared. What should I know/not do?? I have dark brown hair and I'm looking to continue dying it Cookie Monster blue.

Pisces: You will discover that the true secret to happiness is the original "Telescoping Lightsaber" Darth Vader action figure from 1978.

Yeah, I unironically still enjoy this album! I'm too old for shame. (...mostly because Hybrid Theory technically released in 2000, even if 2001 is when it took off)

Uh this is enormous

This remains one of the few things that will get an ugly-loud laugh out of me every time I see it again.

5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Having shipped numerous MMOs over the course of the years, let me tell you that having and using the ‘fascistic’ power of moderation is crucial unless you want to have a 4chan style den of nazis and child porn instead of a viable business.

Surprising nobody who understands how any of this works.

wait WHAT

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

a post can be Obviously A Joke but also break the rules and warrant punishment. two things can both be true

Okay, but can I buy and install SteamOS on my existing gaming computer? I would like this, please.

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

If you see this, share your fave Animal Crossing villager ❤️ Sprinkle, my bestie! We both love blue and snow. ❄️💕

And by caving, i.e. by folding in exchange for nothing meaningful on healthcare, the suffering was done for nothing? The deaths weren't avoided... I don't think the administrative stay from Justice Jackson was a sign to surrender, quite the opposite. It was smart, strategic, harm reduction 🧵

A bunch of suffering was endured by folks who are all much poorer than any US Senator, in the name of avoiding all those needless health care deaths. Folks were struggling to pay bills, buy food, take care of their families. Trump / MAGA were correctly getting the blame from the public 🧵

Framing injustice as something one should care about because of how it will impact them unjustly kindof skirts the whole concept of justice, which is to say nothing of empathy. If their investment in stopping injustice is rooted in selfishness, it will eventually reach a limit and accept injustice.

If any concept artists have been looking for work ArenaNet currently has three senior contract positions open: www.arena.net/en/careers#O...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

i was also struck by how many people receiving SNAP are employees of wal-mart and other big corporations. almost seems like we taxpayers are subsidizing private companies 🤔

Man, they really are trying to drive all Millennials and Gen Z away, aren't they?

This thread about how The Game Awards basically used young devs, almost exclusively from marginalized communities, as little more than PR fodder before sticking 'em in a corner and saying 'just be glad you're here' really emphasizes my last point. The "Future Class" stuff is just shameful, y'all.
