Never Forget

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

"Bit of over-rotation on the landing there," I mutter critically as I sit on my couch with a toaster strudel, having never landed a quad-anything in my life

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

it's a real shame the bomberman collection that just released doesn't have wario blast. that was my first bomberman experience

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

every "AI automation" thing ends up being one of those Flintstones dinosaurs staring at the camera going "well, it's a living ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

it's illegal to be queer in nigeria, but queer people still exist there (as they do everywhere). nigerian reporter ebenezer mowete spoke to queer local gamers about how they do and don't express their identities when they play --> www.mothership.blog/queer-nigeri...

goddamnit

Had to blog about digital de-aging, the original Jurassic Park, and why nobody seems to ask themselves "hey, is this going to look good when we do it?" aftermath.site/jurassic-par...

ugggghhhhhhhhh

finally!

The tide is shifting. They're walking back the bullshit hype.

oooo

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails: aftermath.site/steam-machine-...

the new episode of the Muppet show was fun!

I know it’s annoying that I constantly ask people to sub, but subbing makes a huge difference. @aftermath.site has around 5,000 paying subs right now; most of us still work other jobs on the side. we have over 90k bluesky followers. if a fraction subscribed, it would literally change our lives

If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can: drive.google.com/file/d/1FnY2...

Oh I thought this was fluff (and was stoked) but it goes HARD immediately

i played an embarrassing amount of this back in the day

this is also the biggest challenge on the indie publisher side. it's why i've repeatedly emphasized to people that the most expensive part of mothership.blog is paying lawyers as well as for legal liability insurance to protect our future reporting

NOT ENOUGH. EVERY SINGLE ONE

the ending of ghost of yotei is extremely my shit

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep. PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Okay please shit on jkr But don’t use the logic “it’s suspicious an adult wanted to make a magical world for children” Bc that’s how you get “everyone who works on media for children should be jailed” ass logic

This is delicious, especially the last para. The judge pretty much flays Secretary Noem.

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering. Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

he's just gonna destroy everything in dc, huh

Other countries' inoculation protocols for having to visit the US are really gonna be something.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

we are arguably not hard enough on live service games www.eurogamer.net/are-we-being...

they think they're sneaky

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Rolling out a few more interviews for #ThePitt Season 2 in the coming weeks, including my chat with Shabana Azeez and Fiona Dourif about that "Dr. J" TikTok account, McKay's potential new romance, and more from the first four episodes:

If there’s a short answer, how do you teach someone how to watch a movie? It strikes me even with that sentence that our language is not up to the present task: “how to watch a film” has always meant interpretation, not “how to look in one consistent direction for about 100 minutes”

on one hand, I'm happy i get a paid snow day on the other hand, I'm annoyed there's no snow

The people who review bombed CAPTAIN MARVEL and the people who review boosted MELANIA is a perfect circle.

Sonic X Shadow Generations (PS5) is $11.99 on Woot w/ code GAMER buff.ly/6vxqSM5

… is that a lot?

dudes rock

Ben Schwartz was put on this Earth to do improv comedy and play this dang hedgehog

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
