I skimmed this the first time and was baffled and am happy/annoyed I came back. This is good shit.

Tired of people arguing that some eras of affordable luxury clothing are better than others. Your Guess is as good as mine

the history of the united states is of consistently *almost* meeting moments of crisis with transformative change, before rapidly backpedaling at the last second. reconstruction was sabotaged, the new deal didn't go far enough, and racial integration was never finished. ours is a history of failure.

Boo, that's bullshit.

And in like half of them it really is just "Civic Holiday".

They really just looked at the calendar and said "yeah, two months is too long without a holiday, let's smack one in the middle there, fuck it why not" and I think that's beautiful.

oh its a canadian day off s/o Unnamed Civic Holiday

i spent a literal decade being told that i was overreacting and that no way no how Roe was going to be overturned.

I'm getting the same reaction when I tell people that Obergefell v. Hodges (same sex marriage case) will be overturned sooner rather than later.

In the initial days of this, a bunch of them set their income share with itch to 0 until they get re-indexed and the payment processor business is sorted. So presumably, unless the game makers themselves are happy with how itch is handling this (and thus have restored sharing), itch doesn't get paid

A porcelain-armored android with gold accents summons a black hole in its hand. Behind it, in the sky, miniature singularities implode bipedal mechs.

‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity Joe Biden was hounded for his age-related gaffes, but Trump’s increasingly strange behavior has largely been ignored

It's pretty notable to me that it's the US branch of the Guardian publishing this. Most of the other big national papers have been notable in their refusal to acknowledge the president's visible senility

The first-grade lessons on "days in the week" will be much more entertaining, if also much more confusing.

01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art." 02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art." 03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'. 04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

I think this is actually a subtle insight into the mind of the techbro and the world they are building: it's back to feudalism, baby, and they're planning to be your new inbred idiot overlords

Does he think it's 2016 still?

its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well!

I got mad about AI so I made this comic about The Fucking Point of it all (1/7)

I just noticed it's over now but it's still a clever way to get Gamers(TM) to pay attention.

this mf let his autocorrect say "fridge thru"

See what AI can do for you!

Humans are already more than qualified to give me the wrong burger and undersalted fries at the fridge thru just fine without spending extra billions on dogshit tech.

i *really* wanna see mastercard go after insanely popular mainstream games. i want them to light that match while they're already doused in gasoline

a lot of people dont care right now because "its just porn games" but it definitely aint gonna stop there

Since the Texas Constitution does not allow the governor to remove legislators from office, doing so amounts to a self-coup and the resulting illegal government would not be legitimate. This is a crisis that will spiral.

i really wish i could point to the exact writer or piece of writing that helped me understand that the american south in particular is a great historical example of how eagerly capital will shoot itself in the foot to maintain white supremacy, like you can set your watch to it

I would guess that's what recommends this program—it's like aiming neutron bombs at the bluest parts of the country

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

“World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.”

Sex testing is not only invasive, it’s also inaccurate.

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

on substack alternatives, we currently use Beehiiv. There's also Ghost.
