YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Democrats are content to let Liam Ramos and hundreds like him live in a concentration camp which will - at best - scar them for life, because the alternative is losing imaginary moderate votes.

There is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy

I already have access to my own likeness

I think about this almost every day

Okay, but let's also be completely fair here: Those people were leftists, [slurs], or both, so if we had listened to their warning... then the leftists & [slurs] had won which, you know, a neverending fascist hellhole seems like the lesser evil. 🙃🙃🙃

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

We could talk about whether we got the "good cyberpunk" but what's important I think is a good 50 years of film and comics were trying really, really hard to make you think about this exact sort of image, and to internalize that if you saw this sort of image you should have an intense reaction to it

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

decades of brutalizing immigrants in the hopes that it'd get you votes. over 30 years since operation gatekeeper. and what has it gotten you. god, i'm glad people are radicalized against ICE, but fuck, it shouldn't have taken all this. infuriating.

Pretty bad business that they're giving away the only part of the game people care about.

i’m sorry but every screenshot and video of the yakuza 3 remaster is funny to me. perfect object to make remaster haters like me feel eternally justified, just dogshit for no reason

I think it's important to keep in mind that Jeffries refused to whip on this issue, effectively giving them the green light from the party to do this Again, the entire party is complicit here, not just these seven craven monsters.

The US is due to officially exit the World Health Organization in the face of warnings that it will hit both US and global health, and in violation of a US law that requires Washington to pay the UN health agency $260 million in fees that it owes reut.rs/4a6aQPg

She apologized for ATTENDING THE GAME because ESPN put her on TV. What the fuck. No issue with how the viewers recognized her of course. No problem to be a man who watches porn but if you attend a college football game and some horny dicks recognize you then you must apologize.

"Finished" a sketch from last week. It's still extremely sloppy and shows I have no idea what I'm doing, but she has legs now at least and in this economy that's all you can really ask for.

"Focus on British humor" ...Transphobia?

there's something really fucking bleak about even conceiving of autism in a dog as a problem a human might possibly have

hello Mr Vice President this is your economist speaking I am advising you to keep using this metaphor

All I ask for is, basically, just a modicum of consistency. If you're someone who apes for these sanctions regimes that have huge secondary and tertiary effects on the average Iranian, Cuban, etc, but you get mad about Europeans considering that for you, well.

The point is to collectively punish in the hope that it induces massive upheaval and if they don't do that you just punish them more. When it doesn't work it's taken as evidence that the people haven't been punished enough. Also if you ever think about doing this to the US or Israel you're a bigot.

Americans however are basically conceptually incapable of understanding the idea of reaping the whirlwind.

I think that's fair enough if you're honest about it, but also if you promote this theory of change you shouldn't be surprised if others start contemplating doing it to you.

The neoconservative theory of change is that you can cripple a country's national economy via collective punishment and induce mass protests about the economy which you then in turn use as evidence of discontent with the regime for a casus belli to topple it.

Key thing is that the man is a coward and pushover one-on-one; let’s see what happens after he talks to Stephen Miller.

Der Lobbyverein "Republik 21" arbeitet für ein Ende der Brandmauer. Nun soll er eine halbe Million Euro Steuergelder pro Jahr erhalten. Wir haben rechtlich prüfen lassen, ob diese Förderung überhaupt zulässig ist. Ergebnis: Nein. Ich finde: Finanzminister Klingbeil darf die Gelder nicht freigeben.

Man, this one hurts even more on replay. And it was painful enough the first time. ;-;

Jens Spahns Kreisverband überweist laut Tagesspiegel Tausende an Euros an andere CDU-Kreisverbände, anscheinend ohne offizielle Gegenleistung - auch außerhalb NRWs. Die Frage stellt sich: Für was wird hier bezahlt? www.muensterlandzeitung.de/ahaus/loyali...

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Hell yeah, this is what I was looking forward to. This is where shit gets *good*.

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

This was after mind you Tom Homan had come up with the brilliant idea of separating families as an enforcement strategy.

I feel like this worked a lot better when there actually *were* rooms that're just... empty... and pointless... and so you weren't yet properly primed to expect Suspiciously Empty Area to ambush you in the next fifteen seconds. NES-/SNES-era Final Fantasy games did that a lot.

I love it when RPGs have Conspicuously Nothing Here locations. Like, it's just an empty space! All serene and grassy just because! The perfect spot for a lonely gravestone in the near future! Don't worry about it!

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Here is a really good one for this: For the launch of the XBOX ONE X Microsoft invited me to an event and hooked me up to a bunch of sensors. They recorded my brainwave activity while I played a bunch of games. After it was done they printed a graph and had an artist paint overtop of it.
