Wow.

the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand p.s. added alt text for the quoted post's screenshot into my alt text

I am 100% sure that have been more articles about youth gender surgeries than actual youth gender surgeries in 2026. When is someone going to reckon with the fact that ‘pivoting’ on this issue means signing on to a moral panic?

“Google kept spitting back reputable sources and facts, so we made sure to change that so all the answers are now hallucinated nonsense from an ai.”

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I think it's very depressing that there is simply no social stigma against distracted driving. When people join a Zoom meeting from their cars everyone should be deriding that sort of behavior, and yet it's just accepted.

Dan O'Sullivan, welcome to Life After Cars.

“multi-arm mutations don’t accommodate firearms” there is simply nothing like Caves of Qud

Can you replace 95% of what's on the AppStore with Gen AI slop? Actually yes, I fully believe you can But you should probably interrogate the implications and ramifications of this statement, you know, a tiny bit, before yelling "toot toot!" and hopping on board the slop train

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Happy Valentimes day! Back in 2019 I compiled a "Sylvie Collection" of all my past released games in one download. The collection is now updated to include all games up to the end of 2024, and they're packaged with a new launcher program. Enjoy your life - Sylvie sylvie.website/SylvieCollec...

New economic research: "We estimate that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time."

I think the best thing about the games industry is, in my personal experience, the people. There’s so many cool people in this space

Like what do you think they're buying all those warehouses for? They're hoping and praying you don't see what's happening. And the people telling you to calm down are helping them. In fact, having people on "our side" telling you we're stuck and can't do anything are the biggest help to their agenda

gonna be tight on money until I get the next game out, so all my games are on discount once again! store.steampowered.com/app/2352640/...

Yet the people arguing everyone in America should have healthcare, a home, and basic civil rights are the radical ones.

“The world seems to be lurching into a state of permanent crisis, but no matter. Despite occasional setbacks, the stock market is booming. This dissonance between real-world distress and glorious financial wealth is a permanent feature of the markets, not a bug.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/b...

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

That is an incredible pull quote from Meta, jesus. Masks fully coming off.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

As US elites bury their heads in the sand, China continues to act on climate change, both domestically and by turning much of its economy into an engine for clean energy exports. Hard to overstate the implications for climate and geopolitics over the coming decades.

Time Magazine simply *does not know what innovation is*. The person who invented the spreadsheet, who invented the protocol that underpins the Internet, who pioneered DJ culture — all are living Americans. More importantly, the "lone genius" is a toxic lie... www.forbes.com/sites/alexkn...

“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

it’s kind of funny how in the past, there was a characterization of swing voters as intelligent, thoughtful people who carefully weighed the merits of each candidate and made a rational decision based on facts/evidence and now we correctly have identified that, no, they’re barely sentient morons

Everyone needs to be aware that this man, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, the man who oversees federal regulation of medicine, seriously rejects the germ theory of disease and believes that illness is an outward manifestation of a lack of moral worth.

I hate that podcasts are video now. They should be for funny and interesting little freaks who don’t have to be hot and dressed well

Elias is correct, I think, in that I think many modern people have a Jungian “archetype” of a budget in their mind, and when they hear the word they think “plan for spending, within limits/constraints”, even if the constraints on federal spending look NOTHING like our own personal/household version.

It is insane how inevitable this felt - that the industry has forced itself into a corner ensuring that every FPS team has to work on a competitive service shooter that has a 99% chance of crashing on launch.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Damn, @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social's got hands today.

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

This absolutely astonished me. Almost literal pandemic scale of destruction of lives (I know the detentions are a range of durations and outcomes and so the analogy isn’t right, but the scale! Holy shit)

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

Don't! Be Evil!

Yet again; no article will connect this to its wider implications, and that is GENUINELY on purpose and calculated.

cool cool cool cool cool cool

Having this story right next to one about Lutnick admitting he was a friend of Epstein's whilst he is currently serving as Commerce Secretary is BONKERS level of: "Look how bad the pedophile scandal is ABOUT TO BRING DOWN THE UK! It's DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN HERE! DEFINITELY COULDN'T!"
