The KIDS Act (mass censorship and surveillance law that would eliminate anonymous internet use) is moving forward in the House, and the only opposition is from Democrats who claim it doesn't censor and surveil ENOUGH. When is the left going to wake tf up???

"Just go outside and make friends!" -the generation that as a kid I literally watched bulldoze every public park, skate area, basketball court, public transit system, bike safety initiative, anti bullying protection, improv third space...

It really is cool how every principle of the modern conservative movement circles back to "it should be illegal for you to not like me"

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Remember that when AI stole your shit, Big Publishing did not fight for your copyright.

This should cause an immense shift in author/publisher dynamics because it's huge.

And yet...

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go "grotesque," you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium.

Don’t forget making the landing add super crunchy.

P-chick!

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

It's not lost on me that a sitting R-Senator, heavily funded by AIPAC, gleefully inserted himself into the removal of an actual service member protesting an undeclared war, and doing it so badly he broke the man's arm.

Pretty accurate summation of the party as a whole, ngl.

My favorite in the M&L series is Partners in Time, but Superstar Saga is the one I always come back to. By far the most fun to replay. The first three M&L games are pretty much where my personal favorite aesthic comes from;

Cartoonish whimsy and humor, with a lurking hint of cosmic horror.

Me: apologizing for apologizing for apologizing

That senator from Montana: oh, you’re a veteran? Let me break your arm.

this is my favorite episode, so if you don't like it I'm legally allowed to kill you with a gun

Sounds good.

"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard

A quote from me - “it’s pretty insulting to see scholarship used this way when the academic humanities are currently under attack from every possible angle — as though the actual people who do the thinking and produce the scholarship are reducible to their work itself, and can be removed entirely from the equation”

Went on record saying, essentially, “AI sucks, fund the humanities” today

A meme of a summoning circle with the words "Catastrophic Gen Ai Bubble Collapse" in the center.

One day this stupid thing will work.

Nuke the data centers

Dang, are we already on the fifth line of The Narcissist's Prayer? That was fast
