i predict this site will be 20-30% less insane this time next week due to the release of the poketopia game and slay the spire 2. just gotta ride it out a few more days

Over on Twitter, the 60 Minutes account promoting this story just straight up lies and says Iran has nuclear weapons. Bari Weiss is such a propagandist.

ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and I’m scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

Looking very symmetrical sir!

One of the STS topics I considered writing about in grad school is showing how the purpose of software is often to divert or diffuse responsibility so that you can create a system with unconscionable low probably outcomes and still harvest the gains from the common outcomes.

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

I have this vision of them getting trump and hegseth little action figures they can put on the map. Can't wage war without karate chop action.

A big problem with making entertainment 'for the maga crowd' is that a lot of the elements of good storytelling and good character development are anti-maga. Like the people who would make this alt entertainment are bad storytellers for ideological reasons...

This is how we had to join Bluesky back when it was invite only

Yeah this is simple. Hardest part seems like the tacos? 10 miles in 24 hours is less than a mile an hour. Have tacos and a beer or two or breakfast. Run 1-2 miles an hour for 5-8 hours. Take breaks for tacos and more beers. Round out the extra beers and tacos before bed. Easy money.

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

the audio designer?

FOSS Nerds: We are announcing today an exciting project, the Hurtsume Nexus, an AGPL fork of the closed source Torment Nexus

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source

I mean this is the most church counselor way of putting it, but intelligence by itself is nearly worthless. wisdom and prudence and discernment are necessary qualities for intelligence to be useful. innumerable religious scriptures have tried to explain this but yr tech bros aren't big on books

My biggest flaw? I’m attracted to men 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

lmao

Just put one of these bad boys in front of my house to see what I get

The new Xbox will get you make your womb incredibly fertile. If you do not have a womb, it will serve as one. This is the power of Xbox.

Would love to hear what you thought of Noah's review! I think he does great work and I'm curious to hear your reactions to his reactions

2026 basically

get in loser we’re rebooting gummo

the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

setting my LED lights to rainbow to use like a tanning bed that turns me woker

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

Reminder that the % of the US that's immigrants has gone from like 11% in 2000 to 14% now. Meanwhile the overall population has increased ~20% in the same time.
