A year ago, Newsom sent about 100 leaders of California-based companies a prepaid cell phone "programmed with Newsom's digits and accompanied by notes from the governor himself," POLITICO reported. One note to the CEO of a big tech corporation said, "If you ever need anything, I'm a phone call away." While pandering to business elites, Newsom has slashed budgets to assist the poor and near-poor with healthcare, housing and food - in a state where seven million live under the official poverty line and child poverty rates are the highest in the nation.

The latest Newsom budget, released in January, continues his trajectory away from social compassion. "The governor's 2026-27 spending plan balances the budget by dodging the harsh realities of the Republican megabill, H.R. 1, and maintains state cuts to vital public supports, like Medi-Cal, enacted as part of the current-year budget," the California Budget & Policy Center pointed out. "Governor Newsom's reluctance to propose meaningful revenue solutions to help blunt the harm of federal cuts undermines his posture to counter the Trump administration. The statement said that the proposed budget "will leave many Californians without food assistance and healthcare coverage.

Gavin Newsom hates poor people.

“While pandering to business elites, Newsom has slashed budgets to assist the poor and near-poor with healthcare, housing and food - in a state where seven million live under the official poverty line and child poverty rates are the highest in the nation.“

If there is one thing I cannot stand with TTRPGs, it is when ppl try to turn their preferences and aesthetics into bullshit facts or bullshit theory: "this what i like, so this is what is good."

I am sorry, but your taste is likely not good enough to dictate that.

Also, in GYRO SHOOTER news, I am looking to hire a concept artist to come up with some arts for me.

”A revolution must be started by yourself. An egg, opened from the outside, is food; opened from the inside, it is a new life.“

Ovum exteriore apertum cibus, interiore vita nova.
Revolutio exteriore est incursio.

Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

You see, in Norway, instead of therapy or having men talk about their feelings, we give them a rifle, a pair of skis and send them into the forest.

It gets us SO many Olympic medals.

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Only one way to find out

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

China plans space‑based AI data centres, challenging Musk's SpaceX ambitions China's main space contractor vowed to construct "digital-intelligence infrastructure" that will enable data from Earth to be processed in space.

Lately I'm regretting that we didn't talk about space data centers in A City on Mars, but tbh the idea just seemed so transparently silly. Now Musk and apparently the CNA (www.reuters.com/science/chin...) are talking about it.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.
