Where do you go when the rave ends? Are any of these people actually your friends? Who do you look up after the hookup? Are all those that found you fly when you were fucking high still gonna be around when you come down?

The first episode of "May I Ask for One Final Thing?" starts off almost exactly like another anime ( I think it was "I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss") but the ending of the episode is oh, so very satisfying! Violence... might just be the answer! ...at least, in anime, it can be...

I was going to answer this, but everybody already has: His intent is to squeeze targeted groups until violence erupts & then use that as an excuse to have a pogrom and kill them all. After Charlie Kirk they even said "this might be our "Reichstag Fire moment", admitting to being the Nazis.

So, is there a rotary encoder with addressable RGB LEDs as indicators available? The stuff from TopUp seems to be regular LEDs with a lot of pins to wire. APA102 2020 tiny RGB LEDs should do it well, although I kinda like the one wire protocol better than SPI because only one pin is needed.

If the government shuts down, does ICE have to stop abducting people? Doers the national guard get to go home? Do they stop fucking up medical regulations & all our other rights? Do they stop enforcing executive orders, or overturning good law, or... Maybe shut it down? Do they just fucking stop?

There is a rule of economics called something like "the law of perfect monopolies" which says "in the absence of competition, the price will rise to the maximum amount the market will bear". I would argue that even market friction can cause this to happen; you don't need a monopoly.

Wouldn't it be funny if, at the giant meeting at Quantico that Hegseth is calling with *all* the Generals and the president of the United States, that they decided to do their constitutional duty and relive both of them from power? I think it would be hilarious!

You don't understand. The rapture is real! It happened! You're still here? Everybody is still here? So what does that imply? That's right; You weren't worthy. Nobody was. Now we have to get on with life, knowing that we weren't the pious ones. We don't deserve heaven. The end. </sarcasm>

So... I'm pretty sure the conservative playbook at this point is to push certain groups so hard that they finally snap and fight back, giving them a pretext for the sudden, violent, and total slaughter of those groups. MLK methods might save us, but w/o Malcolm X as an alternative threat, not sure.

Is there a conservative position that isn't based in hatred or fear? "God & Jesus" don't seem to count when everything else you do is the exact opposite of that. "Family" seems to not ring true if you are willing to cast out your children for being gay or trans... or a democrat. "Freedom" for whom?

A religious group actually gets it right! A first! Good job, British Quakers!

"Let me tell you about my bad experience with a trans person." "Oh, my ex-husband was trans; that's why he's my ex..." "I was propositioned by a gay man in my work who put on a dress and asked if I was attracted to him now..." "So, what are your pronouns? Sorry I will constantly get them wrong."

So, perhaps the Democrats could put out a statement like "for all of you tempted to join ICE for the big quota bonuses, we're going to make sure they are not honored, and we will make sure you face criminal charges and jail time for all of the violations you commit." Can they actually do that? FAFO

They were just waiting for an excuse, despite the fact that no trans people were involved in this shooting at all. Facts don't matter to them. Truth doesn't matter to them. Justice doesn't matter to them. Fairness doesn't matter to them. Distraction from the Epstein files... That matters to them!

Movie Idea: Escape from the United States Sandra Plisskin, the trans POC daughter of Snake Plisskin, is called into action to infiltrate the Slave States of America, ruled by the evil Trump family, to exfiltrate a vaccine scientist with the cure to Mega COVID, before the world dies coughing...

It was when somebody I knew and respected started vilifying "Antifa" as if it were an organization with a leader, and said that leader is a rapist, that I realized that the US was fucked and made plans to get out.

Right wing ideology is ultimately about advocating the disenfranchisement, imprisonment, torture, and death of people due to race, sex, gender identity, religion, income level, social class, it intellectual purity. They will say any lie in pursuit of these goals. They cannot be trusted to govern.

Nintendo has made a trans game. The main character is a Ditto pokemon who transitions into a human girl and lives a happier life helping other pokemon. She's a little awkward, and doesn't always pass, but nobody cares and she is always learning and growing, becoming more herself every day. Sweet!

All this time we thought that terrorists and agents sought to do us in. That may be true, but we forget how much we wallow in our own sin. We should worry, but we have no need to import fear from somewhere else. Thank you, we can make the terror right at home: We do it to ourselves.

LOL. I still can't believe I went to highschool with this fascist. He was just a little kid with a giant backpack that I used to race to lunch back then. Any friends in the Bay want to go talk some sense into him? The article had his address...

I've been expecting this for awhile now. The best programmers will have lots of work fixing bad AI projects. I'm pleased that artists and writers are also getting in on the action. Ultimately, AI is mostly useful for filing the net with slop content 4 search engines. futurism.com/companies-hi...

Apologies! You have reached the end of your free trial period of America

Some day, the Trumpist movement will be put on trial just as the Nazi's they emulate were. People who are currently swimming in pride over their cruelty will be executed. People will fall over themselves trying to hide their affiliation with the movement. Children will be taught of the horrors...

Yeah robots are definitely not taking over the world. Not the red one, at least. 🤣

The future will be shabby and sexy, second-hand DIY crazy, anarchist and commune-ist, self-medicated, anti-corporate, anti-fascist, mesh-networked, decentralized & disinterested, gender-fluid, techno-acoustic, pedal-powered, rage-fueled, and recycled, the cast-out using cast-offs to cash-out.

Gerrymandering is election fraud and is anti-democracy. Have we no laws protecting democracy and the democratic process from this kind of meddling. Texas and all Republicans are beyond shame. How do we stop this?

the Supreme Thursday Injection Gang is pleased to announce yet another wonderful left leg injection, thanks in large part to whoever wrote pghrt.diy which was really helpful at explaining exactly what to do (wow!)

Protip for patchy girls: If your patch starts to become unglued, you can refresh the glue with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on the peeling part (I use a tiny alcohol towelette and apply without pressure) and then (after removing the applicator) press hard on the patch to restick it in place.

Finally, somebody is doing a Vectrex retro machine! I'm sure it is probably a pure nostalgia play, tho. I had ideas some time ago about a new vector based console, on the idea that limiting the art options would force creative choices and eliminate shovelware. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/08...

Some racist POS tried to chat me up at my normally very left hackerspace last night for hours. He tried to be all nice & stuff, but in the end he was making sweeping generalizations about minorities, claiming "I'm not racist, I'm just telling the truth!" We called him out and he left. Wasted night.

Fun fact: I once won a Presidential Physical Fitness Award, signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan! Why? As a kid, I liked to climb things, so I had tremendous upperbody strength. I could do 12 pullups, and all of my schools lanky basketball players could barely do any. Still got beat up.

After Berlin Pride, I went over to my friend's place and we did some pair programming... No, really. That's not a euphemism! We actually sat down and solved an old programming problem that I've had. Get your mind out of the gutter!

Now he is weaponizibg the Federal Trade Commission against us. Is there no end to the degree to which he will abuse government power to eliminate us? Everybody who voted for this asshat is responsible for this. www.axios.com/2025/07/28/f...

"Born broken" "A curse in a lab coat" damn, this video is filled with inadvertently metal phrases which I am totally stealing for song lyrics... youtu.be/fadSfCyQCjQ

A friend recommended this video to me because she points out many of the same things I have been saying about how software business models are terrible now. youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Idea: A lesbian industrial band called "No Inch Nails" and the album cover is just a picture of a hand with a lesbian manicure.

Pitch Idea: a new AI mental health startup, but it's just the old "Eliza" program with a new UI. How many millions can I put you down for?

I just can't stop thinking about how Trump is building concentration camps and about to re-implement slavery in the US, and I can't understand how anybody is thinking about anything else. Folks, very soon there is a good chance that you will be a slave, and life as you know it will end forever! WTF

Elon Musk is a piece of shit, but I'd normally be completely in favor or splitting the conservative vote to get them out of power. However, it will be a real test as to whether his wealth can actually keep him or any of the people he sponsors out of the ICE prison camps. He doesn't have much time...

So, now that Trump has funding for the largest police force in the US, loyal only to him, not beholden to any due process laws, transparency, or accountability, AND the courts have given the power to cancel anybody's citizenship for any reason, it's only a matter of time before *you* are imprisoned.

Even Trump's loyal soldiers in the FBI aren't immune to his purges. This guy was doing the dirty work, only now that he, himself is attacked over BS is he finally waking up and calling out all the rest. The fascists just keep taking a little more of your freedom, w/excuse, until nothing is left.

This is how Trump is going to use his giant ICE expansion as his personal police force to allow him to imprison anybody he doesn't like without due process. No one is safe. edition.cnn.com/2025/07/04/p...

Honestly the music in this ad for Mimo is kinda cool in a "10×yeah" kinda way. I don't really need or care about the product... youtu.be/sA7liNyzhvQ?...

They are funding ICE at the eye-watering sum of $150 billion. There are only 2.6 million immigrants to the US each year. For that much money, you could literally pay each immigrant $57k to go elsewhere. It's enough money to give everybody in the US $416. It's not for immigrants... It's for slaves.

Ok, I understand the plan now. The government is going to imprison all the immigrants, and anybody else who disobeys, and sell their slave labor to US companies for pennies. This is how Trump intends to compete with low labor costs in China. This is not new to the US, but now on a mass federal scale
