Thank you, World of Warcraft original release

thank you brett kavanaugh!

The current paradigm of "AI" encodes & recapitulates eugenicist, fascist, and generally bigoted tendencies— but previous paradigms did, too, & if these facts had been addressed, then, in the culture of technology specifically and our sociotechnical culture writ large, it might not still be like that

Hey guys. It's your boy J Edgar here. I have something new that I'm really excited to share with you—it's called COINTELPRO and I really think you're gonna love it

I finally watched the whole thing and omg @msolurin.bsky.social, add this one to your greatest hits list! To anyone on my tl who sees this post, This Will Not Disappoint. Y'all wanna watch this. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 youtu.be/FnACzwV7Mwc?...

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

You have learned MASTER'S ALLIUM CHOP. The window for a Perfect Chop on Chives, Scallions, Onions, and Garlic has greatly increased.

i am going to live in the woods. i'm not even really being facetious.

So, uhm, what's the track record of countries where members of the governing regime start clamoring for a "cleansing" of the political opponent? Always remember: No matter how much they escalate the rhetoric, it doesn't mean they'll be able to do it. But let's not pretend they aren't trying.

We're working with Greg Johnson, the creator of ToeJam and Earl, on a beautiful and deeply personal game he's making called Dancing with Ghosts - the Kickstarter went live today, check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hum...

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

My mom is trying to juice my numbers, which is how she expresses love

I'm the guy who steps on the back of your shoe on purpose. You convinced yourself that i don't exist. "It was probably just an accident." It's not. I do it on purpose

Worthwhile observation is that this is because to them having to see POC or women in power or hear other languages is antisocial and an attack on them specifically and they do not see those things as innocuous parts of living in a society but as a direct assault on their beliefs.

Guys like this is exactly why phrasing like “stay woke” came about

My latest book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, is out in paperback today! You can get it wherever you get your books. Ideally at your local indie bookstore www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jason...

i know that the months leading up to the lexus december to remember sales event are an exciting time for many of you. it used to be for me, but most dealerships won't let me attend services because i named my kid toyotathon. they won't even let me wield the sceptre. i just thought it was a cool name

What sitcoms and funny shows are people watching I need recs (assume I have seen everything on Dropout or that is Dropout adjacent)

Less than a year into the Trump admin and the National Governors Association, founded over 115 years ago, is on the brink of collapse.

I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

doctors in the comments of a vampire porn parody trying desperately to explain what a fistula actually is

I still think about that exchange. It remains one of the most startling examples of sheer indifference to journalistic integrity that I've come across. That's the team that will now run CBS News. Surreal.

The utterly preposterous idea that the intellectual burden rested on the guy who had just dropped a painstakingly detailed demolition of their argument, in 30-thousand words across multiple installments, to now have to say *even more things.* Rather than the burden being on the other guy to respond.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

this is already a huge problem, and it’s about to get much worse as the economy goes into recession

Coates’s line in his discussion with Klein that “sometimes we lose” really stuck with me. Klein was talking electoral calculations. Coates was talking about those working for true liberation and equality. To me, this is so much of the difference. Where are we actually trying to go? And how?

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

"all perspectives"

big news re comforting the comfortable, afflicting the afflicted

Thinking about how human cloning technology could be used to not only revive famous musical acts, but make them even better. Just imagine Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Stills, Stills, Nash, Young & Young

“Willing to consider viewpoints even if they don’t conform to the norm” is open-mindedness. “Compelled to take a contrary viewpoint without respect to merit” is a personality disorder.

So cool to see the way old traditions (cops harassing the kids going to my high school for no reason) grow and change over time

This is where Ellington and MacArthur students transfer to buses to get to their schools. The accountability is firmly with @mayorbowser.dc.gov and @dcpublicschools.bsky.social Lewis Ferebee for abandoning kids. Our school choice transit system makes kids vulnerable. www.popville.com/2025/10/hara...

Except right-wing groups DO demand that their politicians adopt unpopular views, and the politicians often comply. Meanwhile Harris and Biden largely ignored these demands, as do plenty of Dems

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

I would watch this in thirty-minute increments for two straight days

jane goodall releasing a video of her listing the people she dislikes and ending with a vague message of hope is so iconic. truly someone i aspire to model myself after

My unified theory of political discourse centers around the fact that the quote post was invented in 2015

Not to shill for a company I work with but HOLY MOLEY @dropout.tv “Cloudward, Ho!” is an incredible season of @dimension20.bsky.social. I’m gasping, I’m laughing, I’m at the combination gasp and laugh.

Look, here’s the truth they don’t want you to know: One of the posts in here will fix everything if you read it. You just have to find it. Don’t give up now I believe in you.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.
