Again, pissing off the world is actually BAD capitalism.

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Bluesky isn't dead. It's the only thing keeping a lot of independent projects ALIVE.

Wealthy techbros just have no idea how to make games man

Why Not Both?

I am so looking forward to this.

Every time my dad recalls the time he and his family were rounded up and taken out to a New Economic Zone, he always noted how young the guys with guns were—just kids, so eager to prove themselves in their little units, they were always the cruelest.

Monaco / Monaco 2

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

I really appreciated that the Owlcat WH40k RPG constantly had the tooltip-explainers to show that every time they used one of the 8 different nouns for the Warp that it was all really just the same thing.

If we emerge with a non-fascist society, each and every university administrator who Chamberlained or Vichied to any degree must be ruthlessly expelled from any position of responsibility or influence. Let their name be stricken from every tablet. They shouldn’t run a hot-dog stand.

The most effective way donors, whether large or small, can influence the course of US politics is to fund a news outlet that is consciously trying to replace the NYT or CNN with progressive Democratic messaging and news. I donate to a *lot* of smaller news outlets. But someone needs to aim big.

This is gonna up my post game.

Governor Pritzker speaks while standing next to Texas Democratic legislators.

House Majority Leader Gene Wu speaks at a press conference. Several legislators, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, stand behind him.

Donald Trump is trying to cheat the system in Texas, but these Democratic legislators refuse to let it happen without a fight. 

Their fight is our fight. I’m proud to stand side-by-side with them as they protect their constituents.

Congress can pass a new VRA...tomorrow.

It can abolish IEEPA/Section 232 & end Trump's tariff power...tomorrow.

It can eliminate SCOTUS clerk funding, add seats, make justices ride the circuit, & end the shadow docket...tomorrow.

It can end DOGE & restore all the jobs/funding...tomorrow.

Etc.

imo business tarot could also be replaced with actual tarot card readings.

"hm, the four of downsizing, inverted. this says you should eliminate four percent of your workforce and present it as a positive to shareholders."

Wow. Who could’ve guessed the party that’s led to country to a recession every time they’ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

I think the president just plainly stating that he's firing the person who produces economic data because he doesn't like the numbers officially pushes us into a new era where you just can't believe government data anymore.

All those people who said that Trump's official economic data wasn't manipulated might have been right before, but they sure won't be right about that again until at least January 2029!

this is awful. What a miserable world these people are making

I hope blue states are planning to fight back on this mid-decade gerrymandering. Let's stop bringing butter knives to gun fights! If Republican led states can do this, so can states like New York!

One of the few DC titles from that era of continuity I'd actually recommend, along with the Peacemaker TV series - no surprise they turned everything over to Gunn.
(Well, surprising to see big execs making any good decisions these days)

Investors betting on government corruption, I guess.
