DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

am I even awake right now?

Went from "You fool there is no bubble" to "Of course there's a bubble...and you're surprised?" REAL quick

RIP to Udo Kier! What a cool actor, and he made to 81 too! He’s mind-controlling Soviet dinosaurs in heaven now 😢

I know some of you all think you can consume Harry Potter and still support trans rights so uh No you can't. This isn't me saying you can't: it;s JK Rowling.

Ari I'm giving you precisely one chance of diplomatic exchange here. Consider the direction of who you tend to belittle with your rhetoric. You've said that mounting a legal defense doesn't equate to endorsement, yet the people you spend the most time being snide at are victims of culture war shit.

Apparently Stream Elements has a huge security vulnerability and the company's response is "working as intended." Uh. I guess I'm not gonna use them anymore, not that I have been streaming but still, been poking at OBS bit by bit to try and make it look better for when I get back.

The feature is back now and it looks like they hide locations for government leaders but not for activists, journalists, or people in repressive countries. The hypocrisy is unreal.

Notice how hostile psyops and regime change attempts always boost right wingers? You never see attempts to weaken a country by installing left wing governments. It's almost as if right wing ideology corrupts and debases any nation it's allowed into

Thanksgiving is going to be really rough this year.

God this is such a hard time of year for me. Single instances of inconvenience are upsetting, and single instances of frustration become avalanches of bad thoughts.

A friend(?) decided to start acting passive aggressively because I turned down their offer to vent about things that were already concluded and thus I'm not bothered by anymore. So now I'm just mad. All things considered it was a fun night up until this. One of those "we need to talk" things later.

I'm reposting this because if I have to see it so do the rest of you. I refuse to have nightmare fuel all by myself.

#vtuber things: Holy shit, Måneskin does NOT make idol music but Holo EN went for it anyway. GodDAMN this is music to my ears. I mean, literally, but also fuck yeah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvrt...

The best part of Elon showing account locations on Twitter was the DHS account being exposed as operating out of fucking Israel.

#vtuber things: Not familiar with Temako but I'm seeing tweets about them using a shock collar for a challenge stream and I really want to stress something: Folks, please love and take care of yourselves. Self-harm for content is so damn dangerous and sets an awful example.

While I see the value of maintaining peaceful resistance to this fascist shit, I can't help but admit it'd go real hard if someone one day responded to an gestapo agent the same way before fucking them up.

This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

#vtuber things: I managed to miss that Mint joined an idol group and isn't considered indie anymore. That one is on me, I usually keep up with her pretty regularly. Pretty cool though!

Cenk Uygur is challenging Marjorie Taylor Green to a debate. The topic? Whether or not she should quit her current job. "I'm leaving McDonald's, I found a better job." "DEBATE ME" Nobody functions like this. Cenk is a lizard person.

"Keep up." FUCK D:

1. Following EITM reporting, Michigan State Medical Society has said that anti-trans, SPLC-designated hate group Genspect has lost their CME credentials, as well as the parent organization that was supporting it. Incredible reporting by staff writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There's an extension on Twitch some streamers are using that breaks Twitch chat for me (it disappears entirely). It's not a universal Twitch feature, and the only two channels impacted so far are Mel's and Froggy's. Refreshing fixes but it randomly goes away.

She was a true believer and the Epstein cover-up shattered her entire world lmao

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TODAY IN AMERICAN POLITICS

Let’s be clear. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

The reason why Trump was smiling at Mamdani a lot is because Mamdani is different from the people Trump usually meets. Dems grovel to Trump to try to appease him, which is pathetic. Republicans grovel too, and while they are useful to Trump, he still doesn't *like* them. Mamdani stands on principle.

People need to understand, Trump never smiles like this almost ever. Even for photo ops where he has to smile, he puts on a weird face. He was actually charmed by Mamdani, this is a wild moment.

Zionists are pretty much calling Trump "HAMAS!" because he met with Mamdani. Fucking lol

Five hours apart

when you've spent a decade hanging out with kid rock and ted nugent you crave proximity to real celebrity

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

The Daily Mail is IN HELL

Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

I'm sure tomorrow after Trump is aware of the blowback from is base he'll go back to being racist, but for now, I'm enjoying how charmed by Mamdani he is. lmfao

There's a LOT of vtuber fans who do this and don't realize they are doing it (usually by way of being snide). I've even run into a couple that mock me for pointing out this behavior sucks.

Least favorite thing about the #vtuber scene: Fans expecting you to be up to speed at all times with all things. No other sort of fandom (comics, television, film, music, games, books, etc) has had this behavior to this level before. The occasional weirdo, but not normalized.

Researched a build to try in Path of Exile. Swung the attack a few times and went "nope" to it. Because the attack animation is fucking dumb.

I hope every government on the planet incorporate "we're going to scan your face to age-verify you" shit gets sued by their respective populations when the inevitable data leaks happen (I'm pretty sure one already did somewhere). Like the platforms too, but the governments too for forcing it.

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

does the insurance pay for the job or does the job pay for the insurance

i had a suspicion that states rights would regain some salience if and when the states where rights came into question were states republicans cared about

Bro, we just want the planes to take off and land, on the agreed-upon schedule, can you focus on that?

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

This also turns off auto-correct and spellcheck. Not saying people should leave the AI junk on to preserve those, I'm highlighting that things that worked before AI gen tech have been inflated and made worse by making them attached to AI gen tech.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
