"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology. mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries. But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

The new Masters of the Universe looks like what young Michael wanted the first Masters of the Universe to be and old Michael is fuckin' stoked.

No matter how much you hate these people, it isn't nearly enough

If you've been on the fence about picking up my latest novel, please do so now. It's seeing some buzz on YouTube and I need as much momentum as possible. Thank you!

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Bro I don't give a fuck about any other political issue other than destroying the Trump GOP as a political party. I'm a single issue voter for the foreseeable future.

I hate this feeling that the left is subject to being politically extorted by the right wing because they are filled with violent men. *EYE* am violent too. The difference is when, where, why and for whom.

I think it’s important for all the non Americans out there to know that Americans also hate America

Fears to Fathom: Ironbark Lookout (PS5) It's a quaint horror walking sim. Takes about two hours to finish. I got this on sale for 4.79, and that should be the regular price (it's 11.99!). There's just not enough meat here to justify that price; you're paying mostly for the vibe. Easy plat, though.

I hate this bullshit where people are acting like Trump "tricked" them 😒

I was responding to a few final emails for the year and kept thinking "they should really ask an expert." Then it occurred to me that they're asking me these questions because I'm the expert and I don't know when this transition happened but I was definitely not consulted on it.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

We used to have it all.

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

A poem to start your day: I didn't know Rob Reiner but I loved STAND BY ME. I didn't know Charlie Kirk but I fuckin hate Nazis. E.

Rob Reiner represented the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

Need something to watch...

I have spent much of my adult life trying to reconcile the America I was promised with the America I actually got. That was a long and painful process. And here we are. It's a game of chance, and very often, bare bones survival. That just is what it is. I don't moan about it anymore. I just live it

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I would absolutely buy this.

oh no the quisling wants us to stop yelling at his quisling friends Remove Schumer or gtfo.

Worst night for Virginia Republicans since 1860.

Early reports from the front lines of right-wing media tonight are starting to trickle in. We’re being told “hoes mad”

If believing that the government has a responsibility to ensure a basic standard of living for all its citizens or that people's quality of life in a society is more than just their wallets is "feminine" I reckon I'm just a feminine mf then 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

You cant take anyone seriously who think the rise of far-right fascism is due to something the left did "wrong" i.e. allegedly being too insensitive or unaccomodating of people with shitty, evil opinions or going too far to accommodate people who assholes dont think should be part of our society.

Silent Hill f is...bad. I think I'm closing in on the end, maybe it'll turn things around, but I kind of doubt it.

Me, watching that Direct.

Thank you for your sacrifice!

lol lmao even

I see some of you dragging a shit take from the fascist site over here to dunk on it, a) why are you still on the fascist site to find that shit, b) why are dropping shit onto this site, c) when you dunk on it you just give it a new audience. Leave shitty fascist takes on the shitty fascist site.

I just put together the Technodrome. I need to call my dad tomorrow and thank him for dealing with this when I was little.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Normal folk: I am concerned about my community’s access to healthcare/housing/jobs/art/education Conservative: I need that (slur) over there to have a terrible day so I can die and get into heaven

I realize that I’m being part of the problem when I say this, but I don’t understand how we’re supposed to progress as a species if conservatism is something we have to entertain as if it’s a legitimate train of thought to have

Can I have my 25 minutes back?

I guess tomorrow's Direct will determine if the Switch 2 will be a full-fledged console for me or just the Switch Pro so many hoped for for so long. Sadly I'm kind of expecting the latter...

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

🤘

"Separating art from the artist" is always a complicated conversation. But when an artist says they are going to use their art's proceeds to further hurt marginalized people, don't just believe them, SHUN THEM. The Trans community needs your support more than you need ANOTHER fucking Harry Potter.

"Yup, there's your problem. You've mistaken arbitrary norms specific to your social group for sacred immutable truths and it has driven you insane."

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Apparently it was my turn...

No, I don’t think I should try to find common ground with Trump supporters. Or white nationalists, or Nazis, or klansmen, or serial killers, or Andrew Tate.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

People REALLY are attached to the idea that so many things in life are zero sum games.

The first story in OTHER SIDES (due next month) is "The Nineteenth Step", a story inspired by Straub's introduction to an anthology he edited for the HWA. A young couple buys a new house, and they find some things inside don't always add up. You can buy the collection here: tinyurl.com/2ektv9ty

The Shadeur Sanders draft pick conversation is just the latest example of how people just don't seem to get that individual talent *alone* isn't enough to progress in a career (or team sport). It's exactly why some of you are stagnant now.

I feel like AI is dividing the professional workforce into two categories; people who heavily rely on AI, and people who are good at their jobs.
