the technology is not going to disappear. a few companies will maybe go bankrupt. railroads went under and trains didn’t poof. like the most that might happen is that it gets more expensive for a bit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood: 1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces 2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

This outrage is pure Zionist anti-Palestinian racism and islamophobia. A language is not inherently antisemitic. It’s disgusting that this farce was entertained.

Serbian police have arrested eleven people for Islamophobic and antisemitic attacks in France, designed to convince French Muslims and French Jews to each blame the other and to exacerbate ethnic tensions inside France. They allegedly acted on behalf of Russia. www.timesofisrael.com/serbia-arres...

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

The first Nazi book burnings were the biggest archive of trans research that existed at the time.

Huh, when Air Canada couldn't rely on back-to-order orders from the government, they sure suddenly were able to bargain in good faith and reach an agreement pretty quickly... www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

I get frustrated sometimes with people writing off this new batch of 'AI' as nothing but a pointless toy as I think it's a lazy take. The technology is already being used in some really beneficial ways and we should not discount those. Then I see someone like this...

Back in the mid-aughts I read a screenplay for Neuromancer that was apparently being considered for development. It was... ok, but despite that it was also exciting to consider getting to see this story told on screen. Based on the recent quality of Murderbot, this is much more exciting.

EXCLUSIVE: American Security Contractor Unloads On US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’

With the cancellation of Project Bifrost, my time at People Can Fly is at an end. It’s been an honor working with such a passionate, creative, freakishly talented team. So now I’m officially #OpenToWork, if you know a team in need of an experienced Lead/Principal/Senior Game Designer. #GameJobs

The White House doesn’t care about Garcia’s legal status because they’re not enforcing immigration law—they’re conducting ethnic cleansing. They can’t justify their actions legally, but they don’t think they need to.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

My latest -- honest takes on strategic voting are few and far between, so here something to chew on.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death. Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.

Just imagine that after the last four weeks of campaigning, the only gain your party made was to defeat a Black woman who your party tried to destroy for supporting Palestine. Incredible stuff from the ONDP.

This is a great way of describing a very real phenomenon. Saw this all the time back when I worked in games. A similar rule holds true outside of games. Qualitative customer & user feedback is incredibly valuable, just make sure you're focusing on the problems identified, not the offered solutions.

Israel just killed all humanitarian services for Palestinians. Medical, food, water, everything. The genocide continues. The scale of Israel's relentless murder and terror is unspeakable - a blight on humanity like very few evils in history. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...

Ash Orr is without his passport, without his birth certificate and without his marriage license. He doesn't know if or when he'll get them back. The State Dept. is holding his documents as it freezes all applications from Americans seeking to update their passports with a new gender marker.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

I know that there's this feeling out there that someday, everyone will pretend that they were always opposed to Israel's aggression. I think that there is some truth in this belief but I think that more than truth, it won't end up being true.
