(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

Baba Is You is worth the ten bucks alone, AND you get $5k worth of other neat stuff, AND it's for a good cause.

Buy the heck outta this! NO ICE.

This already happens with wages: it's called "salary ranges" and "negotiating" and it's bullshit

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....

funded by automakers

because their cars were killing pedestrians

So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

Roughly 2 USAIDs

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

the Black Panthers were right

I think the main thing is that juice is a communication tool, you use it to emphasize importance so players can read your game easier. If you use it indiscriminately it just becomes baroque noise instead of feedback. (which can also be fine! but not really what it is good at)

if only someone could have somehow forseen this

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Covid deniers gonna kill us all. Bhattacharya (Brownstone Institute) had a direct, aggressive role in US's high death rate and spread Covid disinfo to undermine trust. He wrote the eugenicist Great Barrington Declaration. He created the conditions he cites as reasons.

Reposting for the evening crowd since I don’t know when I’ll ever get anybody to hype me up this much again.

I did request that the thumbnail read “Designer… Storyteller… Dreamweaver… and also Programmer” but I guess Ron didn’t get the memo.

a facebook post from Ashon Crawley on February 13, 2021. It reads: i am sympathetic to folks that say *the* reason why the black panther party of self defense was a threat was because of the breakfast program. i am also sympathetic to the folks that say that is too reductive, that they were more than a breakfast progrum.* i think it’s in the middle: the BPP was a threat because they practiced care. and care showed up *as* a breakfast program, yes, but also as health clinics, as armed defense, as reading groups. care work as political organizing. care as the grounds for its emergence. care. one reason i’ve focused on care in my own work for years now is because black feminist thought informs my own, and black queer critique. and because care is often considered the antithesis of “serious things” and i’m just fundamentally against this. if care is soft or frilly or whatever, we need to have a preferential option for softness. care is something white supremacist capitalist patriarchy cannot give nor withhold, even when it tries to privatize care as an industry that is primarily about making money and exploiting workers. care is not private property, it only exists when it is shared. care is the antithesis and alternative to white supremacy, to riff on cedric robinson, because it must be. but it is so much more. it exceeds the logic of reactive response to practices of violence. it precedes the violence and political economy of extraction and exploitation. care, even if soft, ain’t easy. it takes courage. and conviction. and clarity. (i’m a former preacher, so the alliteration is a throwback lol.) you only have care when you share it. and sharing it is difficult precisely because the political economy of racial capitalism wants us to privatize and hoard what we consider it to be. care. let it flower and bloom. selah. 🌸💕

Five years ago @ashoncrawley.bsky.social posted a thing about care that feels really timely again. www.facebook.com/ashon/posts/...

I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.

I believe lots of things that are true

It's Black History Month 2026, so I'd like to update my project of highlighting Black game developers!

It’s crazy that they make us take money so seriously and then turn around and there’s headlines like this

Is there any enforement mechanism for this, or do companies just treat these notices as recommendations?

Anyone doing a cross reference between the Files and the Panama Papers?

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Relooted is a fine heist game—but it's a better history lesson Correcting dark historic wrongs can feel surprisingly bright.

"It's a competent loop of heist setup and escape execution. But even when I piloted Nomali through a flawless getaway, I found myself more interested in being able to return to the relooters' hideout to learn more about the game's 70 reclaimable artifacts and their very real histories."
