personally i think it's understandable for video games to be expensive but if they're expensive they need to be good and the people who make them need to get paid and treated well

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

This is the problem inherent in fighting Nazis. If you act too late, lots of innocent people die and you might not be able to beat them. If you act early enough to beat them, every wiseacre on the internet says you're escalating violence.

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

“humans need to argue” actually they need to lie in the sweet shade of a tree idly gnawing ripe fruits

I just feel like it should be relatively straightforward to program your software not to encourage self harm. It should be the very first, most basic consideration of any software which purports to talk to people.

god𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵 can cis people stop acting like this for one minute? can you show one single fucking ounce of empathy toward and solidarity with us? ever? "prove we can win by supporting your rights" is the reason we keep having to scream at you to support them. stand up for people who don't have power.

this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Who in public life is regularly saying: “Be realistic - demand the impossible?” None of these assholes are. It's all just shrunken horizons and telling people that nothing can actually change.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

Imagine my surprise. Who woulda thunk that creating a tool with biased data would infuse the tool with bias?

youtu.be/ZYV9_zSs-DU?... A poem referenced in a book I'm reading. Never heard it before but it's a lesson the modern man should take to heart.

(meeting a lesbian cop couple) so which of you does the domestic violence?

Humans will see a corporation and come up with a hundred ways to explain its actions none of which is "it preys on humans"

"AI Filmmaking is punk rock" guy probably hates punk rock, anyway it's funny whenever some wannabe overlord claims countercultural cred just b/c they're despised; settle down, John Watters, you're not hated for being edgy, you're a prison snitch who thinks being a sellout will make you the warden.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

genocide denial should be shamed by everyone. this is about setting global moral standards. as a society, we can’t just accept it. you changed your mind? admit it, clearly and publicly.

Clowns and thieves. You can’t retroactively add shit to a contract and make it opt out.

Also please note: any school that obeys Trump's demands to eliminate any effort to help admissions of people of color and poor kids BUT maintains admissions advantages for legacies and children of donors is an explicitly racist school.

Mister Tally Man must tally me banana, it is in his nature inherently. To deny him this would be a cruelty that I cannot condone

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

i dunno man i actually don't think the government should have the authority to kill or torture or kidnap anyone no matter what they allegedly did!

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

care > punishment

To paraphrase a friend - the transmisogyny lately is rank - even in leftist space.

it’s worth making this more explicit: The NYT is suggesting Zohran lied by checking off both “Asian” & “African”, because (in their view) someone of Indian descent born & raised in Africa isn’t “truly” African. Which was also how Idi Amin justified expelling Zohran’s father & thousands of others.

It’s fucked up the @nytimes.com is okay with using anonymous race science accounts to smear Zohran with hacked bullshit, but isn’t okay with Jamelle Bouie criticizing them for it. That’s, like, four different levels of racist simultaneously.

Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill

Never let malice off the hook simply because it is also ignorant.

I wrote about how Brad Pitt has effectively albeit transparently used F1: The Movie and its press tour to rehabilitate his image, in order to obscure the violent allegations about abuse toward Angelina Jolie & his current estrangement from his six kids, @vulture.com. www.vulture.com/article/brad...

Please remember this torture happened to *every single person* who was kidnapped by ICE and sent to a foreign concentration camp without due process. It doesn’t matter if they were citizens or even if they were criminals. Every case is a violation of our Constitution and of Trump’s oath. #IMPEACH

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Massive Attack via Instagram.

When I see Elon Musk and Trump insulting each other I don’t think “Haha yes” I think “those men shut down soup kitchens and many babies and children died as a result”

We desperately need this button everywhere.

I really hope this bill doesn’t pass but whether or not it does I really hope we can have a conversation around why our social safety net administration systems are designed to weed people out rather than help people out.

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. "They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," then-Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the ruling. "The Constitution grants them that right."

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits
