so funny this immediately happens when software companies can’t pretend that ai was anything more than money moving between 10 different companies over and over and doesn’t lead to any real growth

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Ben Affleck smoking

Bad things are happening for trans people in Kansas...

Ben Affleck smoking

I will begin posting a picture of Ben Affleck smoking whenever a customer asks me where something is when:

a) it is in their direct line of sight
b) it is in the aisle they just came from
Or c) they'd immediately find it in the next aisle if they just kept walking instead of stopping to ask me

this is the apotheosis of individualist, consumerist philosophy. The only legitimate activities available to the free citizen are 1) purchase product, 2) leave negative review. All conceptions of freedom and its limitations are based on that.

I got the chance to play Cairn early too, and I absolutely loved it, do not skip this one.

I can't put it better than Jacob, but I'll also say Cairn really doesn't play like anything else. You control each limb independently as you climb a mountain, and the tension this creates is unmatched.

This guy seriously put out a campaign video that's like:

Note the problem here. Trump does apparently want to minimize clashes between government security services and protesters. But he doesn’t appear to want those heavily armed government militias to stop doing the things that are causing those clashes in the first place. What’s really going on here is this: Trump is looking to defuse anger among congressional Democrats for purposes that don’t portend a meaningful shift. An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package. The problem for the White House, Punchbowl reports, is that if Democrats successfully renegotiate new measures, the House might have to pass a new package—the House already passed funding that included money for DHS—and Republicans doubt that’s possible. So the show of de-escalation is about making it easier for Senate Democrats to support appropriations bills that don’t require another vote in the House.

There really seems to be a lot of kayfabe happening right now. Trump is pretending to de-escalate to placate Dems so they don't demand reform, and Dems are making up fake reforms so they can pretend like they made changes while they vote to fund DHS.

Democrats' strategy has lead them to lose two of the last three presidential elections to a senile fascist rapist.

Insisting on a plan that fails 2/3rds of the time isn't pragmatism. It can't be pragmatism if it fails.

It's dogmatism.

A man: "Whyyyyy am I so miserable all the time" The same, but she's now a woman: "Ok that helped but everything else is still fucked"

It has now been four years

UK anti-trans journalism is the twisted baby of UK anti-vax journalism and UK anti-gay journalism, with a sprinkling of tactics from UK anti-immigrant and UK anti-traveller journalism

Republicans are fully aware that the media establishment gets rock hard at the thought of lecturing the left for their violent rhetoric and consciously incorporate it into their messaging strategy.

Conservatives in 2018: Dumb libs think words are violence

Conservatives in 2026: Loud noises ARE LITERALLY VIOLENCE OMGGGGG

“In one instance in Aug 2023, Millan falsely told a woman her file noted a chest tattoo and asked her to verify it multiple times. When she resisted, he threatened not to sign the doc. She then complied, showing her bare breasts ‘for several more seconds.’ The woman’s 1yr-old daughter was present.”

White guys, this is your time to shine. Because they don't listen to anyone else.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

this email offers no details about what the actual offer is and you have to opt in before you find out lol

I think blue states need to explore issuing IDs to non residents to help trans people in red states because this is going to get worse and may take decades to overturn.

Now the question is whether they remembered him from the first encounter and targeted him on the day he got shot

The guy that shot Renee Good literally took the video with his own phone

A NYT reporter wanted to speak to me about what's happening in Minneapolis and I told them unequivocally no due to the NYT's role in creating the environment that has done so much harm to trans youth.

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

watched Nausicaä for the first time last night

half star review for melani's that says they're showing this movie on airlines and people are still walking out

goddamn

Brianna met her killer at school. The killers used Tor to watch snuff videos on the dark web. The BBC and Sky initially omitted that was transgender from their coverage. The Tory party wanted her to be buried under her deadname.

I have no idea how social media plays at all here
