Andor just keeps being too real.

Christ, this is stupid and you’re a smart guy,

When you just really don't respect women.

Weird way of spelling "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, and JB Pritzker" but aight

AOC is right fricking there.

LOL that's a no. AOC is the moment

i think its genuinely funny how all these guys erased AOC. like, shes actively being threatened with arrest by several different thumbs.

He's 83. Let him live the rest of his life in peace, leave him alone. AOC should lead

...

Please say sike, this is beyond unserious. That dude hasn't done shit. AOC on the other hand has been speaking up and calling everything what it is where it counts to the point of being threatened with "investigations" while everyone else is just handwringing and posting about egg prices

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6.

Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

It's a coup.

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

It's wild to think back to the 1990s when Barnes and Noble was one of the top villains in retail and now they seem like a quaint indie.

There’s a reason why games are made by game developers and not by players.

I wouldn’t go to a restaurant where other customers prepare my food.

my post: "weekend" comes from an 1860s misspelling of "weakened" as in "i'm weakened and going to take a nap." not many people know this merriam webster replies with an ellipses

Guilty Pleasures: Luigi Mangione and the making of a folk hero. t.co/iyX5A0blIH
My essay on Luigi Fever, Jack Sheppard, and what folk heroes do for the rest of us.

And beauty was the benefit. In the outside world, they might feel awkward or different, but on set, with 10-15 other bald Centauri women in beautiful gowns and dresses, their characters were much admired and desired, and they weren't different any more.

In terms of the female bald Centauri, some of those were skull caps, and others weren't; we let it be known that we wanted to support women going through chemo or other treatments who had lost their hair by casting them here, money that could also help pay for medical bills.

Yeah, that’s more “inciting the American public to violence against trans people” shit

End antisemitism!

Hate has no place here!!

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump The second-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

“No amount of normalisation and ‘validation’, however, can alter the fact that AI imagery looks like shit. But that, I want to argue, is its main draw to the right. If AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, then they wouldn’t want it.”

Standing there in Costco thinking,

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.
