Despite the awfulness, the US government pulling shitty US government things on US soil remains the only reliable way to get US people to react to the US government the way US people probably should react to the US government no matter where the US government does shitty US government things.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

The pronoun labeler was hugely useful (and was really functionality that the site should have integrated). Hopefully people will now use this one instead.

I did the thing! I emailed, cold, the author of a book I liked to tell them it was good, and to say thanks. Know what? That's a good idea. You were all correct. Everyone should do that.

Presumably because it costs them little to do

Occupy Democrats has always been trash but this is especially gross. Why mention the fact that he’s Jewish at all? Hmmm

Republicans just had a press conference showing photos of ICE arrests of "pedophiles, drug traffickers, murderers," and Democrats should do the same thing but with pictures of ICE agents who committed the same crimes.

I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?

She's going to behave like a petulant, angry teen

Ah! New Silent Hill Transmission tomorrow. We'll get more information on Townfall, the game currently under development by No Code Studios, creators of the excellent minimalist indie horror, Stories Untold.

Me and the Witcher 3

holy shit, you've made me realise I've never heard him either

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

A good joke about game launches Plus: PlayStation's recent win against counterfeiters

For years, official maps showing the global launch times for new video games have left Africa blank

I wrote about those maps in today's Game File. Credit to @tauriq.bsky.social's thread from 2023 that got this on my radar. And to @nyamakop.co.za for the joke

Goddamn

The wisdom of Gretsky-Scott.

Me: I hate drama and don’t care about strangers’ relationships.

Also me when a Norwegian biathlete dishes dirt on himself in public.

A line chart going from Jan 2009 to Jan 2026 showing very few cases until Trump’s second term, where the line takes off nearly vertically, showing more than 6,600 cases in Jan 2026 alone.

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

Fucking ghouls.

Small ink drawing of a goblin.

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

Why are they just the worst people

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“US-supplied thermal and thermobaric munitions burning at 3,500C have left no trace of nearly 3,000 Palestinians.”

I wrote my masters thesis on Israel’s genocide; every day, fresh horror only bolsters my initial claim. Every person who did this to Palestinians is evil. There is no other word.

Is the US government supposed to be a serfdom serving a king? I thought y'all's whole setup was... Not That.

Did a cat write this

Please support my fellow South Africans and citizens of other African countries who made this.

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
