The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I wish I had the self-confidence to just fully publicly admit that I thought facism wasn't on the rise and include "people on the internet used the word too much" as one of my primary pieces of evidence

Getting whiplash from how quickly MAGA turned from "I hate the federal government!" to "The federal government should be allowed to just execute American citizens because they feel like it."

Welcome to America, where masked federal agents in unmarked vehicles are allowed to just kill people.

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Personally I would not love to see the US military fight the French military because I am not filled with bloodlust, but also because I don't think either military has fought a comparably trained and equipped force in 50+ years and it would probably go badly.

Just read a Reddit comment from a guy saying that if a game needs to load assets in and out of RAM, it's a "basic computer science failure." Very based honestly. All games should have a total file size smaller than 2 gigabytes.

Nintendo will just shadow drop a content update for a 16-year-old game and act like everything is normal

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

I am on my knees begging this bubble to pop already.

not my house, but I know my way around (no one will get this)

Trump is invading foreign nations unprovoked and without congressional approval, siccing unmarked, masked "officers" on people without warrants, driving inflation through the roof and prosecuting the Fed for trying to curb it, and says speaking out against him is treason. "Land of the free."

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

Xenoblade Chronicles 1's world design is the most insane set piece I've ever seen.

Having a safe, affordable place to live should not feel out of reach for hardworking families. When rent hikes and mortgage payments outpace paychecks year after year, it is a sign that our housing market works better for corporations than for American families.

I'll be honest, I'm just never going to forgive anyone for not speaking up about Palestine but suddenly finding the remnants of a moral compass for one murder by the same fascism in their own lands. I'll tolerate them, I'll work with them, but it'll always remain a thing I'll think about them.

Unionize.

Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.

Ah yes, luckily it's clear the US cares about laws and hasn't just annexed Venezuela with some war crimes www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

so it’s going well then

It's so awesome how generative AI has done absolutely nothing except hurt people and yet it continues to propagate and be shoved down our throats purely because it's a pyramind scheme that benefits the wallets of the veritable demons seated at the top level of the corporate world.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

It's so cool how Spotify Premium is advertised as being ad-free and yet every time I open it I get a fullscreen ad for a different version of Spotify Premium. Incredible.

As the security person rummaged through, I started glancing around me - you know the nervous look at the person behind you in the queue, where you're trying to reassure yourself by reassuring them that "it'll be OK"? I did that.

I am tempted to go on a longer discussion of this but I am on vacation. But as someone who leads the design department and hires and mentors designers, using chatGPT to write your design specs is antithetical to the role and job responsibilities of a designer.

Metroid Prime 4 is good. That's honestly all I can say about it so far as I descend into what I sense is the late-game. It's visually gorgeous, it's fun, it brought back Sylux after DECADES of anticipation, but it also makes some VERY questionable level design choices. Solid 8/10 honestly.

- make CGI trailer for game that functionally doesn't exist yet - start whole new studio to make it - spend year(s) hiring - no work gets done for years because you have no staff yet and are STARTING A WHOLE NEW STUDIO - ????? - cancel the project Classic strategy, lets see if it works this time!

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

Woke is when you pick a font

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Imagine wasting that much money on a pet project and not only do you keep your job but you get a bigger bonus than ever. I literally cannot imagine this even though it's exactly what these execs get. The privilege of fucking up repeatedly with zero consequences.

CEO of a company named after the evil scrying stones the villain of the Lord of the Rings used to spy on people and drive them insane, btw

My brain knows it to be a fact that Metroid Prime 4 comes out tomorrow but my soul has not yet internalized the fact

Just started reading Watership Down. Never heard anything about it other than the title before. My vague guess at its plot- that a ship of some kind has crashed- has been debunked. Watership Down is a place. I've been bamboozled. Everything is a lie. Plot twist of the century.

Guess whose most-used word is "game" and second-most used word is "games" (it's me)

The one thing Donald Trump has always and will always be afraid of is the truth. And right now, he’s scared.

This is what happens when you have the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

"People are poor and that's not enriching the rich"

Always funny when you can pinpoint the exact moment a YouTuber articulated a specific criticism because all of a sudden every discussion has it come up with identical phrasing when no one has mentioned it before.

I folded and used microsoft's chatgpt to ask it how to turn off its "AI designer" tool that keeps stealing input and giving me suggestions every time I paste an image into powerpoint and it gave me detailed, confident instructions that fail on the very first line I am so tired of this

Coming this December: Game Informer will be available in major retailers – including @barnesandnoble.com, GameStop, WH Smith, Books-A-Million and more – in the US and internationally. Learn more: gameinformer.com/letter-from-...

Riddle me this, Trump administration: if laying off hundreds of thousands of people and crippling our economy and kneecapping our infrastructure was so cost-effective and saved so much money, how come you're making an emergency appeal saying you're fresh out of money for SNAP benefits?

It's so cool that Google discontinued the Chromecast , which retailed for $60, and then made the Google TV Streamer which is the exact same thing, except it has a worse name, has useless AI garbage built into it, and retails for $100. Awesome. Amazing.

Star Wars has been trying to provide dedicated comic relief characters for decades and yet, in almost 50 years of media, I truly believe nothing has ever been as genuinely gut-bustingly funny as Luthen Rael saying "We should've killed Krennic while we were in there."
