Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

I finally got to see a specialist for the unexplained pain and fatigue I've been having. I was hoping to sort this out and get back to streaming, but they couldn't tell me anything. I waited months for nothing. But with no solution in sight I'm just gonna try to gradually get back on track.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Today on the website, @friendlycat.bsky.social is here talking about some great bands that made 1 album before calling it quits! figleafgamingnetwork.wordpress.com/2026/02/12/5...

Here's Wario's audio from the PAL version

I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

Today on the website @friendlycat.bsky.social is here with a new Figtree Reccomends; they are recommending some music that released this year! figleafgamingnetwork.wordpress.com/2025/12/26/f...

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

Spotify Wrapped is usually a fun way to reflect on what you’ve listened to over the year and share your tastes with friends. But it hits different when it’s paired with propaganda for Trump’s deportation machine. Use our social toolkit to share the truth about Spotify: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/spot...

Thrilled to announce the publication of our @rooseveltinstitute.org report that uncovers the policy roots of the current crises facing our news, information & communication systems. We argue that media reform must become central to a US pro-democracy movement. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Hey everyone! Ive been working on a project for a long time and I finally have some finished stuff people can read! There's a quick blurb to explain the idea and the first article in the series which properly starts the series I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out. I'll have more soon!

After some delays due to adulting the website is back today! Figleaf joins us on our return with a review of the Silent Hill 2 Remake! figleafgamingnetwork.wordpress.com/2025/12/01/s...

Gamera vs. Guiron (1969)

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

trying to avoid "told you so" in favor of "do you see where i'm coming from now"

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

the most wild trailer you will ever see in your life for a game btw nothing like it out there and probably never will be haha

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

The ICE budget is higher than all but about 15 militaries worldwide, and we’re seeing what kind of country that gives us. www.stephensemler.com/p/ice-budget...

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

my sincere hope is that Mamdani's election inspires more socialists to run in local politics. Nothing bout the fed will ever change until the democratic party is destroyed and replaced with a generation of leftists who give a shit

Someone needs to make a supercut of "doubles down after saying wrong word" Trump clips, because this is the best one yet. Fascinating artifact of whatever cocktail of personality disorders he has.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

The craziest thing I’m chasing down: I don’t believe that stargate abilene has even close to enough power, nor is it possible for them to build it before the year 2027. They have a 200mw substation and an unfinished 350mw gas turbine plant. They need 1GW+ and it’s still in the design phase!

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

I had a really hard time giving myself my shot today. Anyone who calls me a good girl and is nice to me will have my eternal gratitude.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist. Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe. Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming. You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you. But one-way solidarity ain't it.

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️ Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.
