there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

Epstein was invited to gatherings with US lawmakers members years after his arrest There was a congressman’s birthday gala, a senator’s fundraiser at a billionaire’s home and a breakfast to discuss ‘homeland security’

Americans are ruled by literal shitbags and we tolerate them.

I'm replaying Doom The Dark Ages again for the first time since the big patches. I notice & love many of the changes! Imo some of the best stuff is hidden in toggles & sliders, but I'm really glad to have them. Parrying is still too easy though. Not much they can do, unfortunately I am simply a god

Being somewhat glib ofc, but obv a lot of stuff is going badly online. The safety-based arguments made by folks in Congress for repealing Section 230 are silly & miss many potential consequences. On balance I oppose repeal. But I also think we really will need other kinds of wrecking balls soon

Take it from someone who practiced internet law for a decade: repealing Section 230 would take a wrecking ball to the modern internet, incl things like social media

And take it from someone who's been on the internet for three decades: sometimes I want to take a wrecking ball to the modern internet

i wouldn't change a lot in 6. i think it's really good & is obv built around stuff that can't be changed much without big knock-on effects. i'd prob just do the above, make drive rush counterhit state, & a mix of remove most chars' throw loops/make others cost drive meter i mean AIR DRIVE RUSH!!

Please continue to contact your representatives and urge them to:

-oppose age verification laws
-rescind existing AV laws
-protect peoples rights to use VPNs
-protect section 230

In SF6 I'd prefer if perfect parry required tapping the parry button, not holding it, so that going for a perfect parry required risking that you could be drive impacted in the corner, not cancel into drive rush, etc. It's not a major issue, I just think having more mixups around parry would be nice

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a major higher education case in which a federal judge blocked its $1.2-billion settlement proposal to UCLA over alleged civil rights violations. It will...

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

🪽ANGEL ARCADE #1: MIRACLE 🪽

It's soft launch day for my new comic series! This isn't a sports story about winning, but a collection of cherished memories, observations, myths, and celebrations of the "community" aspect of "fighting game community."

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

oh for sure, and it's just a protocol after all. i didn't mean people ditched it in general, just that i did personally. irc servers were my main way of interacting with some friends online for a while, but i eventually left (except in the sense that other things used the protocol, like twitch)

Btw a major of the problem here is lawmakers doing stuff like mandatory age verification. The problem clearly has other parts too, you didn't need to find yourself suddenly involved with Peter Thiel. But misguided laws are a major driving factor that impact even areas that don't have them, as here

Let's see, I think it's gone:

AIM
IRC
Forums
Digg
Twitter
and sounds like soon to be Discord. oh well. i feel a very low sense of capture about it. i'm pretty sure my friends & coworkers & i will find another way to hang out & work together. we've all been through this many times

Oh, ok

We've all known that we'd move on from discord at some point. This'll be, what, maybe the 6th time I move on from what had been my biggest communication method online? I'm not too stressed about doing it yet again. Anyway get your game knowledge etc off of there & onto actual websites

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Welp you're extremely right about that one haha

Ofc I can also imagine major knock-on effects for the industry that end up hurting artists really badly in a slightly less direct but no less dire way wrt opportunities & income

GenAI can't do new & accurate simultaneously, so it's not a direct threat to creative artists making novel stuff. This fight just looks like what the algorithm trained on after all. But I can imagine how businesspeople selling reproducible schlock to low-engagement viewers may already be in trouble

typo obviously, but i like it. dumpass scotus. what a bunch of dumpasses. also what a bunch of racist confederate sympathizers who played vital roles in killing reconstruction & building news kind of racialized & capitalistic unfreedoms for millions of people in the US. y'know, dumpasses

In 1871 the dumpass Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional an act of Congress denying Confederate traitors benefits they'd gotten via presidential pardon. That, and no federal pardons for state offenses, aaand that's pretty much the entire law on presidential pardons. Do basically whatever, it says

My opinion is also that presidential pardons should not be unchallengeable & we should interpret the pardon power as containing inherent limitations to prevent abuse. A system in which a president can both break the law himself AND pardon anyone he asks to break the law for him is obviously mega ass

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Feds zip-tied a 14-year-old girl during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
