“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

In Australia we have signs that tell you when the birds are fucking

That's enough guns to arm one quarter of adult Australian citizens. That's a lot of guns. #auspol

A majority of the people with the right and the authority to stop the USA's mad dictator are basically uninterested in doing so. They don't see themselves as the "Then they came for me" in the classic poem.

Gravity Well is looking for a great Systems Designer. Job posting below. Studio website is here: gravitywell.games Hoping you'll consider joining a small independent studio that is making something new!

ICE has military technology. Protestors have... whistles.

The party line has gone from "women have to start using genAI or they'll be left behind" to "everyone has to start using genAI or they'll be left behind" to "everyone has to start using genAI or genAI will be left behind."

When things are bad. When the world is bad. Be kind to someone. Just to yourself and one other person. Or to as many as you can. Make your little corner just a little brighter. Not everyone can fight. Not everyone has leverage. But we can all be kind, if we choose it. And it makes a real difference.

Prediction: Having diminished the USA's political, economic, and legal power, and having routed a shit-ton of money into offshore accounts, Trump will flee the USA and live off the embezzled funds. Either at the end of his term, or earlier if things go badly for him.

It is not possible to talk about two topics at once.

Thinking back on my working career. I've only ever had one promotion (1979) and one (non promotion) pay-rise (1995). And thinking back on it, only one of my peers actually did better than that. The rest remained at zero and zero. To get a better job/more money you had to change companies.

I regret to inform7 you ma'am but your son is dead. Your son is found in the Grey Hallway. The description of your son is "a poor soul who died in these hallowed halls." The son is wearing a backpack. The backpack is openable and closed.

Makes it harder to hide people in your attic from the gestapo when your neighbors are literally sending them video footage of the neighborhood

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Mike Johnson strongly affirms that *this* one particular case (unlike all the others) actually isn't a weaponisation of the Justice System. For a change.

Showing ICE your papers and citizenship docs generally doesn't work. Probably because most of the currently active ICE agents can't read them.

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

100% agree but also this is the feeling I get when I see any ads at all tbh

I was about to post this here if you have ever seen subtitles with color, karaoke or any sort of cool positioning they were likely made in srv3. youtube is now deleting ALL subtitles made in this format this includes basically every subbed hololive video (and hundreds of vtuber vids in general)

Top of the charts at my house today

Collective Shout, Mastercard and Visa are being real fucking quiet on Grok.

He truly thinks he's the king and can just order society to do what he wants

“Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, stole a bunch of its oil, sold it, and stashed the money in banks in Qatar” is a stone-cold CLASSIC of this genre

This is you guys on here

Snail helm is go

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or [email protected], thank you!

Sad little fucker murdered people to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

So you have to carry your citizenship docs at all times, and even if you have them, ICE will still arrest you and beat you up.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

When the USA eventually reforms its Constitution, it should add in personal liability for constitutional violations, or for voting for laws that are subsequently determined to be unconstitutional.

America will soon be able to drone strike a wedding and post deepfake nudes of the bride

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them” except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

in the beginning, the dipshit CEO quotes were spaced by twenty four days. then twelve, then six, then every two days. the last one, from TNM’s taylor kurosaki, was today. in twelve hours we could be seeing a CEO saying something stupid every four hours until they are coming every two minutes.

Nobody hates America more than Donald Trump. Americans voted for Biden that one time, and he will never forget that or forgive it. The thing is, he wants to hurt Americans, and have them thank him for it.

For every major issue of the last fucking decade, in a bunch of countries.

I’d argue that it is key. Stealing a citizen’s phone is neither necessary nor proper for ICE agents to conduct their federal responsibilities. It is plainly unlawful conduct that local prosecutors could investigate and charge without Supremacy Clause problems getting in the way and no justification.

Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?

I get the basic idea about reforming donation laws, but the SA laws feel half-arsed. Instead, allow me to propose some alternative changes to political donations. #auspol

The cool thing about Pete Hegseth is he's going to break every single law on the books, no matter how old or obscure.

I frequently see quotes of people asking why ICE isn't focused more on violent criminals - as the administration originally claimed was policy. Seriously? ICE agents would wet themselves if they even *saw* a violent criminal. Ain't no way they're going near one.
