In case anyone wasn't terrified enough of the way the U.S. is right now, the fact that we only have five votes on the Supreme Court for "the fourteenth amendment says the thing it actually says" should be considered REALLY WORRYING, even though that particular decision did go the right way.

PAX time!

You know, after observing the way I tend to play tactical games, I guess I've always found it more convenient for the enemy's gate to be up.

Trans people: "Fix your hearts or die!" Scott Adams: ok *dies*

It works. I checked.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Yeah... yeah.

We have some smart speakers in the house. Sometimes, I ask them how entropy can be reversed, just in case.

As a Bostonian, I am conflicted about how many positive feelings I'm having about New York at this moment

Man, it's almost like voting for things is a good strategy for getting those things.

If you’re in line to beat up on James Dobson when he’s no longer able to defend himself (as he wanted legions of parents to do to their children), stay in line.

I keep an eye on Rogue Trader updates because I figure I'll play it once it's more or less done. They start every update by addressing the players as "Lord Captains" and I keep wondering if it should be "Lords Captain". These are the things I think about at one AM (and also other times).

In case anyone needed evidence that the stock market is irrational, Tesla's stock goes up every time Musk says he wants to pay more attention to the company. This is how you get the Cybertruck, people. Your best bet is if he stays as far away as possible; maybe get that Mars thing going for real.

Every time I start Clair Obscur, it tells me I should play it with a controller, and then I flip off the screen with both hands before putting them back on a keyboard and mouse as God intended.

Another year, another PAX.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Many of our members headed to the Boston #HandsOff rally today but some protested closer to home. We're still blown away by the turnout in Salem, MA. Several hundred people protested today in a town with only 45,000 residents. That is amazing! #NoKings #Massachusetts @maddow.msnbc.com

I'm not Cory Booker's biggest fan, but what he's doing on the Senate floor right now is absolutely the right thing to do, and the rest of the party should take notice. Make a lot of noise. Visibly oppose the administration. And I sure as hell hope he beats Strom Thurmond's record.

I'm usually the one in any of my social circles who's softest on Dem leadership, because there are complexities there that are easy to miss, and the Dems genuinely do a lot more than they get credit for. That said: fuck Chuck Schumer. Jesus Christ, dude.

Alright, folks, I keep seeing this thing going around socials about Coke firing a bunch of people and then calling ICE to deport them. But I can't find any actual news stories about it, and the information I have found suggests it didn't happen. Anybody have any data on this?

I am 100% vote shaming. We need to do more vote shaming. If you refused to help stop the world’s least subtle fascist goon, you should be ashamed of yourself and I will never stop vote shaming you. I’m questioning your morals, too. You’re an accessory to hurting people and you knew it. Shame.

Call your democrats and let them know you will be agitating to primary them if they collaborate. Write them letters. Show up in their offices.

I've been thinking of a lot of things I could say today, but you know what? I'm going to stick with this: goddammit, America. Why do we have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again?

I caught myself thinking earlier that at least Terry Pratchett dying meant that he didn't have to find out all this stuff about his buddy Neil Gaiman.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Looks like Facebook may be going Full Twitter: www.cnbc.com/2025/01/07/m...

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Might as well just pre-emptively post this for next year too.

I've been watching this health care CEO assassination news all day, and it took about eleven hours before I saw anyone saying anything even slightly sympathetic about him, his family, etc. I think that we should, all of us, try to live lives that don't make the entire Internet celebrate our murders.

Christ, I'm so tired.

Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within some random-ass beach on the North Shore.

Been a while.

Literally giving the cat little a salami as a treat.

Just to join the chorus here: folks, if you encounter some shitler on this service now that it's open, block them. Don't get in stupid slapfights with them, just block. If anyone yells at you for blocking a specific account, block that person also.

Admiralty law?!?!

Help, I tried to pu’t the gowans fine and I think I pulled something

Yep.

Let the joyous news be spread! / The rotten old jerk at last is dead!

You know what's great? Going to the office for your fully remote job. Wait, not "great", what's that other word?

So it looks like Unity, the company making the game development engine of the same name, put out a press release saying nobody should, under any circumstances, use Unity for anything. Good to know.
