Blood, Sweat, Hate: MMA's festering neo-Nazi problem Extremists are using the sport’s counter-culture mystique to radicalize disenfranchised young men and to provide them a shared space to spread hate. Meanwhile, the UFC is also profiting off hate.

I keep getting asked why I haven't written a piece on the Bryce Mitchell stuff. Truth is, I've been writing about the MMA-to-Nazi pipeline for nearly a decade, including how it festers in the UFC.

This isn't new. This is the norm.

Chúc mừng năm mới, everyone!

Given the likely age of the author, at this point it’s just a nakedly obvious attempt at culture-war consent manufacturing.

If the killer played Among Us and that drove him to kill according to the media, then considering how well that game sold, every healthcare CEO should be rightfully shitting themselves.

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO slaying played video game killer, friend recalls A man who attended college with Luigi Mangione and was a member of the same Discord group said he was shocked when news broke on social media that Mangione had been taken into police custody.

NBC is breathlessly reporting that the UHC shooter suspect played lots of (🥁🥁🥁)…Among Us!

You know, that game that *checks notes* everyone and their 6-year-old-cousin played during the lockdowns including Jimmy Fallon and the cast of Stranger Things on *checks notes again* the Tonight Show on NBC.

A German cleaning equipment company used its high-pressure washers to create a giant image of Godzilla on the Iwaya Kawauchi Dam in Saga Prefecture.

I really need to post more, but I’ve never really had a great routine for social media. How do people get into the habit without it feeling like *work*?

Welp, that sure didn’t take long.

We all let Jimmy Carter down.

UPDATE: This approach is working.

This is a post about Dynasty Warriors.

I made a bet with myself that the linked article didn’t mention healthcare or medical insurance complications for part-time or temp workers at all.

So now I’m going to get ice cream!

“so”, obviously. 😅

Honestly, if you object to a movie having sharks in the Colosseum, I appreciate your historical dedication, but you probably hate fun.

It would be ironically hysterical if Grok actually achieved AGI because there was no much racist shit on X that it evolved into, “…wait, this is all bullshit, isn’t it?”

I remain uncertain about how well Bluesky’s Discover algorithm works, so purely as a test, I have been liking all the cat photos.

I already got an SD, so… 😜

More seriously, I think personal use-case is the main decision-maker.

I use my SD more than my PS5 because I don’t sit down in front of my TV for games as much as I used to but play in bed or at my desk all the time.

PSA for some of the new folks on here, @numb.comfortab.ly got you covered with moderated block lists that you can just subscribe to, and can individually modify if you want.

Keep the trash out.

If Calculus weren’t ludicrously absent-minded and head-in-the-clouds, that whole series would just be him fucking bad guys up.

It has become a much, much larger part of my job, against my will.

I really need to focus on self-care and video games this weekend, but I suspect it’s going to be very hard to find that focus.

It’s bone-chilling the extent to which half the country voted, and got, cruelty personified. Not hidden, not implied, but outright promised, with gusto and giggling.

But I’m not at all surprised.

I’m so sorry. Words are never good enough, but I hope you can take some solace that lots of people here are rooting for you.

Curatable, sharable block lists as a standard, non-API-required feature is a massive, massive deal. Holy shit.

If they are doing something, or there is some vulnerability in US law potentially allowing them to do something, bring that evidence into the public, and let’s make, oh I dunno, laws preventing *anyone* from exploiting that.

Its reasonable to be concerned about what the PRC *could* be doing, but I have yet to see a single slice of evidence presented that they’re doing anything with TikTok more than what they already do to all Chinese internet traffic.

So let me get this straight.

Instead of doing something sensible like bringing CA’s data privacy laws nationwide to protect everyone against every overzealous tech company, we’re going to specifically target TikTok because of vibes and red-scare? Really?
