This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Perfect timing, no notes. We should totes be listening to the nearly 90 yo dying man's opinion on what's popular. Can't wait to see this be used by Dems to further alienate voters in the hopes of attracting disaffected 'law and order' Republicans. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Yo, publishing and tabletop industry folks. Do any of you have a printer that you've worked with that you like? Looking to get some quotes around printed tarot-sized (2.75x4.75) card decks, someone who has good turn-around and responsiveness. Print run would initially be in the 500-1000 unit range.

I don't think most folks understand the damage we've already done to higher education, especially in humanities, social science, teacher education, biomedical and earth/atmo sciences. The only programs I see thriving are CS/AI fields and b-school dbags.

I know folks are all thinking that Platner might be the next Fetterman, but honestly I get more vibes that he'll be another Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez. Pandering to White working class racist shitheads and voting with the GOP because 'bipartisanship'.

My tween girl's D&D group got a foundational D&D experience this week when they got into a fist fight with a regular old riding horse and nearly lost.

breaking: 80-student encampment up at Occidental College in California, demanding the Board of Trustees commit to divest from Lockheed Martin, Palantir, Maersk, and Caterpillar amid the war on Iran, Lebanon and Palestine at an upcoming meeting on Monday.

I keep saying that Florida is one of two things. Either Outworld from Mortal Kombat or a real life GTA server...

“I went ahead and made a browser extension. Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`. Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.” what a great workaround 🤗

Nope. This shit is 100% another proof point in the 'were fucked' column. National media should not, and can not, be subject to the whims of the billionaire class, even when they throw a few bucks at the shit some people like. Also, it's not as though NOR is out there speaking truth to power RN.

This gives the game away. If there are enough people who are 'with you on 90%' of issues but you keep losing, I don't know, maybe consider running candidates that will bring in those 10% instead of shitting on them and running to the right.

Just once, I'd like this to be the case. Just one time...

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day! Bosses, landlords, and billionaires steal from us continuously. It's not just wage theft—they've robbed us of the entire world, reducing everything to private property, commodities, or wreckage. Let's snatch back what we can. stealfromwork.crimethinc.com

New GTA 6 teaser just dropped.

No reason to not toss this guy right now. Morally he should, at the very least, exit the race until this can be investigated. And for those of you who are concerned about 'canceling a good man' I'd point to the frequency and length of time his inappropriate behavior with staffers has been known.

What's your go-to response when someone tells you they're going to the bathroom? My partner is a 'have fun!' person. Personally I'm a 'don't fall in' person myself.

Hey, wanna see a bunch of normie dems show you that it's not just MAGA that lacks critical thinking skills? Check the replies. Industrial levels of not understanding how politics works.

Thoughts and prayers for the Molotov.

I'd like to suggest the Coup's Pimps (Free Stylin at the Fortune 500 club) as our new national anthem. I feel it captures the vibe of "America at 250" that we're all feeling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Ho...

I saw this shit result in all sorts of cutbacks in STL and the surrounding municipalities after the Ferguson protests. They cut child and senior services, animal control, disabled assistance and basic infrastructure to make sure they could pay out for the violence and increase the amount of cops.

Of course this is the 'solution' these ghouls come up with. These fucks love using public infrastructure to get rich and then want to kill it for anyone that came after. Also Khosla is the asshole who tried to block access to a public beach so only he would have access. fortune.com/2026/04/07/s...

Last day for this sale!

Have you ever wondered what Trump would sound like if he were his signature brainrot, but also a shady attorney? ballotpedia.org/Eric_Troutman

Suppose a Bluesky user does not want any of their public data to be used for generative AI training. They would go in to app settings, find the data reuse preferences section, and configure “Generative AI” 🤖 to “disallow” 🚫. The app would create this public record in their repository:

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

I'm mildly surprised that today's protests seem to have widened the anti trump coalition. Crowd appears to be younger, whiter, and more male than last time. Also more diversity in secondary causes which is also a good metric for successful continued mobilization.

What if we not only had universal healthcare, but anyone elected, or appointed, to high office MUST have it as their sole provider. How fucking good would our medicine be?

if the game devs didn't want you to use the options, they wouldn't have included them. play that game on easy mode. summon that online helper. use that cheat code. the only thing that matters is if *YOU* are satisfied. don't base your enjoyment of a game off of the opinion of online strangers

I'm sure all the GOP members who were convinced that there was so much left wing bias in tech will get right on this....

Boosting for disability. Also does anyone know if you can file a claim if the entity that holds the rights has gone out of business?

Looks like AI is coming for teachers, proving again it's primary use case is driving down wages and busting unions.

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

Look, I want to see the assholes in the admin face justice, I'm just not holding my breath. Wealthy elites tend to protect wealthy elites. Even when they are transparently criminals. Remember, Kissinger died a free man at 100.

A reminder that we don't need TSA at all actually. We had decades of air travel without them. The only thing they excel at is preventing anyone carrying a drink through security. Their actual rates at finding contraband are abysmal, but their rates of misconduct and harassment are significant.

Let's now go for a reaction from the head of the 'absurdly uptight' community.

He's not a fascist, he's just (checks style guide) absurdly uptight!

Seeing some folks celebrating that this will benefit those working class male voters on other sites. Here's the thing you should remind these folks of should you meet any in public. Those jobs have always been ones that can be offshored or automated should the current workers prove difficult.

“The argument here seems to be: Sports and killing people are fun things that Americans are good at. That is, although repulsive, an argument.”

Question for those who know more about it than I do but is there the same discourse about AI in China? How are they mitigating the environmental and economic impacts? Suppression of dissent? Managed adoption? No prob b/c they have better built infrastructure and social supports? Something else?

Guillotine time now? Or are we still waiting until November for the Dems (who btw also support this chucklefuck)?

So this 'study' had been getting shared a lot by folx I know in the game industry and uhhh I'm not saying it's totally shit but there are some definite red flags, let's look shall we /1 www.gamesindustry.biz/new-research...

Oh look, it's the usual crop of fuckwad loser Senators who are happy to sell us out for their donors. It will surprise no one that the comments are full of Blue Wave dumbasses telling people to chill out and that this is normal. They love the taste of boot and are proud of their ignorance.
