Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

i think it is a solid sign of how fundamentally checked out bezos is from the actual state of american politics that he is mouthing the cliches of 20 years ago as if they are novel insights

lmao at spanberger vetoing weed. weed's always a fun one because people talk about "you can't be so radical or pushy, you gotta get people on your side, you gotta get the votes, build a coalition" and people advocating for weed accomplished all that. years ago. and it still gets "actually fuck you"

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

feeding auditory hallucinations to a person in active AI-induced psychosis

“Taxing me won’t help teachers,” says a man who has never lifted a finger to help teachers in his life.

this same basic logic caused the OceanGate disaster

White House basically

In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be trans in 2026: friends are texting each other today to be safe again, as we do every week, because the richest man in the world is yet again boosting false claims that neo-Nazis who attacked the Mosque were trans and there's a conspiracy to hide it.

He died doing what he loved - undermining the rights of trans people.

God, it's so annoying to see posts from people talking about how awesome he was when he literally used his dying breath to go after trans people, a continuation of decades of being an antagonist.

They’re trying to normalize the idea of a national sales tax to end progressive taxation, and I’m already sick about the number of people who are going to fall for it because they hate the idea of other people enjoying anything.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

think fast buddy

This weird sense of entitlement and snobbish behavior from fans will be the reason why so many projects won’t be made. Who do you think you are?

the thing of "trans people just pushed too hard on the sports stuff" is so ahistorical that it makes me mad, when did you hear about trans sports before 2020 outside of the occasinoal human interest story on it

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

Arrested Development ass administration.

ross spent over a decade failing to get a cartoon idea funded until recently. and now that the pilot has aired on youtube, it’s gotten millions views and i’ve seen countless fanart of the cute cat girl the new ideas are always there; you cheap fuckers just wanna avoid paying for them

at the station

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

their manifesto is out, the shooters were two men, they were accelerationists and yet you’re gonna see this lie spread:

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

most non-cybertruck 4x4 failures are people getting into situations they could've handled but don't, due to arrogance and lack of experience most Cybertruck failures are people trying to do things no vehicle can safely do, because they believe their car is magic

if you post anything on youtube, you can and should opt your channel out of this www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

this might be the hyrax photo of all time

Metroid work, can’t remember if I posted the last one and the Dread piece.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

They aren't walking back their stance on NSFW, they're only walking back the restrictions on "implied" or "artistic" nudity/nsfw. Pornography is still outright banned, which means KS is still a no go for most NSFW projects.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

This was going around again and the original is stuck on a private account on a terrible website, so... Repost of the time back in 2020 when I played Bad Apple inside a pregnancy test.

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

i genuinely don’t know if we’ve seen a more corrupt administration and president in history

Good apology while also making it clear that the issue is Stripe and, further up, the institutions Stripe has to answer to. We really do have to keep bothering Stripe and making noise about it if anything is to change

the republican party is an explicitely pro pedophile and a pro war political party

Funny how two+ years in and we're not hearing about all the massive success stories AI must be responsible for by now

multiple things can be true at once: 1) there shouldn't be billionaires 2) since there ARE, it's interesting to see one spending money on being an ocean nerd in the name of science, instead of feeding us to machines and destroying democracy 3) valve's 30% cut of steam sales is too high

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

You can mute Bubsy, but he'll be so sad about it he'll actually break character.

Also... professional shows can have their first episodes be the pilot. Breaking Bad is one of the biggest and most acclaimed shows of all time, and it's first episode was a pilot.

The real problem with "indie as a first episode" pilots is that a lot of them either suffer from not being self contained (ending on a cliffhanger isn't good) or stuff so many ideas and concepts into one episode instead of fleshing it out in a full series.
