followup to dream phone design, took some ideas from people I liked. It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically and I'm mad it doesn't (and will likely never) exist

Even if Trump gave us universal healthcare, taxed billionaires, lowered costs, raised federal minimum wage, focused on renewable energy, education, infrastructure, wrote me a $10K check and ended every war on the planet-I’d still want that POS in prison because he raped little kids.

I've owned a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I owned a PSP Go. I owned both models of Vita. I even briefly owned a second PS2 for playing import games. Sony, you gotta give me a reason to buy your next system and "We're firing every studio that makes games that you like" ain't it.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Let's all bully Sony into bringing the multicolored logo back.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books. This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Chiitan has a dream. I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past. I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination. Until then, let's all support each other🤍

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it? Chiitan forever

I always roll my eyes when I see people talking about "political violence is *never* acceptable" because I know they dont really believe that. The 4th of July, one of our major holidays, is effectively a celebration of successful political violence.

Much has changed in all these years... And there is still always more to learn about swords, martial arts, etc. youtu.be/0yTqMb86EgA
