Meanwhile, people unconstitutionally seized or brutalized by ICE agents can’t sue them because there’s no private right of action for them to do that.

Thanks to the efforts of the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social, high-quality promotional artwork files for the original PlayStation release of Breath of Fire III have been unearthed from old GamePro magazine press discs!

You know how the existence of cars and power tools makes it necessary to have “exercise” and “manual crafts” as a deliberately chosen part of a balanced life?

We’re probably going to need something like that cognitively, for adults.

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”

And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

There are going to be a LOT of people in thrift shops this year.
And in food banks.
And at holiday soup kitchens.

For the love of CHRIST - now that someone's brought this to your attention, please go through your stuff - for kids *and* for grown-ups - and for once, give some GOOD stuff away.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

Here’s Nick Cave replying to a correspondent called Valerio who was asking him about how to respond to a growing sense of cynicism - here. www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-still...

I wonder if there is honest discussion happening in journalism schools across the country and around the world about the general failure of the elite corporate media covering US govt and political affairs.

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

Look, I'm not saying I told you so, but I was right

OK folks. I make a monthly donation to support the San Francisco food bank. Right now they have a matching program, meaning every $1 turns into $2. Would you join me? Let's raise $1200.

Entire East Wing expected to be demolished as soon as this weekend, sources say The White House is expected to demolish the entire East Wing to allow for construction of President Trump’s ballroom, sources familiar with the project told ABC News.

This is Trump “not touching“ the East Wing of the White House. Remember this the next time Trump says he won’t touch Social Security.

Analysis | We uploaded a fake video to 8 social apps. Only one told users it wasn’t real. Facebook, TikTok and other major platforms do not use a tech industry standard touted as a way to flag fake content, tests using AI-generated videos found.

As AI videos and images spread across the internet, tech companies have developed a plan to prevent mass confusion.

But tests by The Post on eight major social platforms found that only one of them added a warning to an uploaded AI video.

Government Shutdown: Funding Bill Blocked For 12th Time The government shutdown began at midnight on Oct. 1 as Democrats and Republicans appeared to be nowhere close to reaching a funding deal.

On day 22 of the Trump Shutdown, Senate Republicans are holding show votes, the House GOP won’t show up for work and Trump wants to see shows in his new ballroom.

In 10 days, more than 24 million working Americans will see their healthcare costs double and GOP leadership is living in la la land.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

The bloodbath is global. Everyone hears about layoffs at English-speaking sites like Polygon, but every other language just gets reported locally.

Jovem Nerd is big enough to get a cameo NPC & quest in Cyberpunk 2077. When they fired their game journalists, only Brazilians heard about that... :/

thanks for coming to my ted talk.

re uva capitulating: we're seeing in real time which universities will leave you behind in a zombie apocalypse. remember: you just need the zombies to eat someone slower than you!

Republicans on the Supreme Court are poised to gut the law that finally ended Jim Crow, and Southern Republicans are eager to gerrymander Black voters out of representation like it’s 1925 again

Here's where "he'a a dictator" and "Trump's shutdown is about health care + kitchen table" go hand in hand. He's trying to steal $230M in taxpayer money to line his pockets, because dictators are corrupt and line their pockets, while taking away your health care and trashing the economy.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout.

it's cool how we have a government that 4chans constantly on twitter and shows off videos of the president shitting on americans while also being like, "make sure nobody sees us destroying the white house"

this is super normal stuff for highly stable nations

a tyrant is ignoring the constitution, firing live artillery at americans, invading our cities, and tearing down the white house to build himself a palace

our institutions won't react because they're lost in a digital dreamstate, unable to decide what is true because of social media poisoning

same here.

This would be a six week pearl clutching mass media event across the entirety of the Axios, Semafor, NYT, Politico brunchlord set if it was a progressive President
