RIP Rebecca Heineman (1963-2025), video game industry legend, Interplay cofounder, creator of Bard’s Tale 3 (1988) & Dragon Wars (1989), programmer on dozens of games and ports (Wolfenstein 3D, Another World), and first champion of a national US video game tournament - on SPACE INVADERS in 1980.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

This whole fucking nightmare would be over if someone told Trump that Barack Obama could hold his breath for 15 minutes.

A simple and efficient strategy

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

Current (permanent) mood as an American in 2025:

Me

Not to sound cliche or -- god forbid -- Performative, but if I had a kid and her school suspended her for this my response would probably get me fucking executed

the waft of "HUR HUR GAY" ain't helping

"People are mad that BlueSky won't allow them to make death threats."

No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

He's right.

That blaster goes really well with Reactivate Prime.

The billionaires, media, and both major US parties cooperate with each other to fuck the American populace. It's going to be hard to keep in mind that all of it needs to be toppled. But it's...everything. Is the whole goddamn apparatus.

We are a failed state.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

Whenever I hear Trump, Johnson, or any other Republican complain about SNAP, or try to regulate what hungry people are allowed to buy I think of something Oscar Wilde said: “…to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.”

May I also note that Aztec Death Whistle fabbing designs also exist?

a tweet from 2020: (james bond being beaten up by a goon) GOON: bond you will maintain continuity BOND: Never GOON: the year is 2020 and you're roughly forty five, you were born around 1975 BOND: *spits out blood* i was a sea captain in world war two and i've been to space GOON: you son of a bitch

My last word on the matter

Not to mention studio execs insisting on treating the viewers like idiots.

This is ridiculous. Every Bond actor was considered a soft reboot, regardless of existing costars. The audience never questioned it or even cared. They were there for spy hijinks.
It isn't that hard.

Working on a I.C.E. kidnap case right now—2 sons, whose mother called on me.

It’s very clear both Uber and Waymo have provided the government my clients’ location via these ride sharing company’s ✨massive✨ tech surveillance op.

No warrant—just pure cooperation.

Stay woke, y’all.

Waymo is I.C.E.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Beakman's World A slightly nutty, always inquisitive scientist leads a journey of discovery while performing experiments that demonstrate how the world works.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.

One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

ha ha burn the white house down (satire) and blow up the capitol building (joke) and take hostages (playful ribbing) and make a new world (sincere).

Oh, and another thing: those fuckers retiring? The ones who voted to end the shutdown because no one could primary them?

Their chosen successors can eat a fuck and die. They don't win the nomination.
