“This is all leftists’ fault” What did you want from me? I voted, I don’t think it had any sway on Massachusetts going blue, it was gonna do that anyway, but I voted! I did what you asked! How is it my fault Wisconsin went red?! WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO TO STOP THAT?!

everyone saying "why don't the leftists do something radical?" needs to engage with the very obvious answer, which is "everything you're thinking of would get a leftist shot immediately"

how do you take 22 minutes to say "cheesesteaks and pussy"

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

one of the benefits of the old media model that's gonna wind up lost like roman concrete is the editor. some of y'all professional substackers NEED to let someone with a red pen who isn't obligated to be nice to you tear into your draft like a thanksgiving turkey.

A favorite that I haven’t seen in this (fantastic) thread yet…

I read a really good phrase for that somewhere. They are eating the seed corn, not out of hunger, but out of gluttony.

I have eyes in my head and a heart to feel.

Personally this is why I prefer Jupiter (to get more stupider)

"Hello, Endless Legend developers? Yeah, I'd like to report a bug. Mmmhmm, yes. He's looking right at me, just standing there. Looming."

we (meaning I) focus too much on gAI being bad at its job we (me again) need to get back to the fundamentals: that gAI and its boosters are thieves that actively believe it is normal and good to steal from artists as long as you're also too lazy to do it yourself

in an attempt to compete with street fighter, jin has married jun

Transphobia is a religion and its clergy are billionaire child rapists. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Pass it on.

everyone is convinced they want a mass effect that's a big space opera adventure where you save the galaxy and do cover shooting but what they actually want is a game where you go into the room with the elcor and the volus and talk to them about their aggravating bureaucracies

"everyone you know is fighting a battle you know nothing about" isn't a reminder to be kind it's acknowledging a failure of military intelligence

this is upsetting because we all know Starfox on the silver screen should be a Jim Henson production

No. Your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of real people. And frankly I'm fucking tired of having to pretend that isnt a fucking insane thing to say in response to "please don't support the hate monger lady's soggy, reheated nachos"

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

Saw someone say on here that communists only do literacy programs and raise literacy rates for propaganda reasons and I thought about this post

every time a studio writes a statement like this, they're either lying or they think you're a huge idiot. sometimes both.

The developer insider at Crimson Desert detailing a bunch of guys yes-manning themselves into making a million systems with no vision at all and cobbling together a story 3 months before release sure does track with them accidentally leaving a bunch of AI slop in the game.

Ah I see Crimson Desert is the latest to run the 'gen AI art was temporary and we forgot about it' excuse. If you actually forgot about it, then you lack appropriate studio policies for using genAI tooling. But then they conveniently only added the AI disclosure to Steam earlier today.

Greta Thunberg went "we need to save the climate" then thought about it for a few years and went "climate change is caused by capitalism, and to fight climate change effectively you need to dismantle capitalism" and some people need to make the same mental journey she did

the failure of the Mueller Report, ultimately, was the successful result of the conservative project to make sure that what happened to Richard Nixon would never again happen to a Republican president

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

Begging tech journalists to stop credulously covering this shit with indifference. Just embarassing work here.

He knew what playing Dumbledore would mean, had trans ppl tell him what it would mean, he considered not taking it… but did anyways. His desire to secure his legacy for cis children mattered more to him than trans kids lives. Ironically, this role is the thing that will most tarnish said legacy.

The tendency with stuff like The Metaverse is for the people who championed it to tell a story when it fails about how it seemed like a good idea at the time, nobody foresaw how badly it would fail, etc. It's important to remember none of that is true. Everyone saw in real time how stupid this was.

"You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right." Goddamn, Melville could really cook.

I saw someone describe DLSS5 as "Incel Shading" and I am furious at how good a joke that is.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

What i want is not a return to blocks, what i want is a return to four sets a year plus one or two experimental supplements

They already have a Firefly animated series, it's called Outlaw Star and it's so much better.

i honestly can't stand seeing people say Gen AI is a disability aid because if it was a disability aid, they wouldn't be putting this much money into it

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

It’s so fucked up that for things to get done you actually have to do them

if better call saul took place about 20 years later i could see chuck experiencing AI psychosis instead of EHS

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

Posting on Bluesky is very Christian in that Jesus was also surrounded by prositutes, the poor and the mentally ill

Lmao, fuck you.
