WIRED magazine cover showing the Apple logo wrapped in razor wire; below it, I've covered the text so only the word "Evil" is shown. Tim Cook is a Trump-loving dingdong.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

Maybe I’m just built different but if I was a member of congress and I voted to fund ICE and then got yelled at for several days about it because obviously, I would try to come up with a different excuse than β€œwell you see, I’m very stupid”

if you’re involved in designing an interface, don’t ask yourself, β€œhow do I minimize this UI,” but instead, β€œhow do I show the most useful amount of information.”

I’m completely sick of the former!!!!!!

not at all bewildering that people are asking if it matters who was right about ICE at the same time the same crowd is proposing retraining and β€œreform.” do you want to get rid of the klan or do you want to give the klan more paperwork

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

games when they want to have like themes and think about the moral weight of their characters actions but they also need to have hundreds of hours of combat to justify all the mechanical weight they put in combat so they put in tens of thousands of ontologically murderable unpersons

There's always been a strange mischaracterisation that those of us who have consistently pushed for games to be culturally aligned with other forms of media are just doing so to be pretentious wanks. I *am* a pretentious wank but that's not my motivation - games need cultural support.

In my defense: I HAD to go, and the lines were long.

She then left when I did, and talked to me about her partner for the next 45 minutes. Including when the partner showed up and just looked at me with confusion and regret.

Only downside is the cursed mark that never stops throbbing & buzzing!

okay this literally happened to me in a bar with single-use bathrooms a while back. β€œOh, so sorry!” I said. β€œIt’s okay,β€œ she said, slurringly. β€œI’m just having a moment. Go ahead.”

”Do you need anything?β€œ I asked. β€œNo no no,” she replied. She then asked me questions the whole time I was tinkling.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse

if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if β€œwoke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.

no, those people shouldn’t get a break.
