I'm here because it's not formerly known as Twitter. I have a collection of nerdy interests, chief among them at the moment would be board games. I suppose one could call me a geekly. Used to podcast, would be down to again under the right circumstances.

My read on him was that he's dumb and shockingly uncurious for someone who interviews people for a living.

I mostly find it funny that Dorsey has done this twice. He keeps accidentally creating a space for people in his search for whatever it is techbros actually want to accomplish.

I've played enough video games to be immensely suspicious of the first military guy who actually treats my party with respect.

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isn’t a sign of what the party has morphed into

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled

Yeah, I can say it's not the first JRPG that's given that vibe before (to the point where when DQ11 handled Sylvando reasonably well, it was viewed as a surprise. I mean, he was still a bit of a caricature, but people weren't weirded out by it at least)

First thing I'm finding myself bumping on in a negative way is the party's reaction to the first queer coded character they come across. Hoping the game redeems it at some point, but it all felt pretty homophobic.

Gov Jared Polis (D) describes himself as a libertarian. Here, an actual libertarian (and friend of the Gov) Ross Kaminsky of @koacolorado.bsky.social offers a rebuttal to Polis' latest justification of potential clemency for Tina Peters.

A little confused by "instead" here.

The saying isn't "fuck around, instead find out"

All else aside, it’s hard to describe how disingenuous this comparison is. SJL faked letters of support to duck a state legislative ethics probe. Peters participated in a plot to undermine Colorado’s elections and has spent her brief time in prison getting in fights and earning write-ups.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping
