I can’t believe EA is going to such lengths to annihilate the value of The Sims IP. It’s upsetting as a player, but even from a business perspective it’s crazy that they’re turning such a distinct, fun and beloved game into a generic, AI-driven mobile brainrot

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There's a difference between nominal and substantive representation. I want to see people of colour like me in high office to the extent that their life experience imbues them with a substantive understanding of racism and a substantive opposition to it. Who is Mahmood representing here? Its not us.

A Streeting ally said the recent momentum behind the green party would be a boon as it had driven "the trots out."

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.

Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

The new Steam hardware is kinda sticking up a middle finger to microsoft, meta and google all at once. Love that

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

Boy watching Homer beat up the krusty burglar: Stop! He’s already dead!

Lmaoooo

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

That weird pit of hopelessness really just grows sometimes

Really dislike everything atm except sims 2, which is a weird feeling tbh

Like Zohran, Zack offers the thrill of cost free rebellion.

The Spectator are confused.

It's not going to be cost free.

Billionaires are going to pay more.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

a political party's function is to provide structure for a common agenda that appeals to voters and then to win elections to use that power to enact that agenda. the Democrats resent their voters and do not want to win! they would rather nothing be expected of him as the country plunges into fascism

two sims packing boxes for a move

my legacy founder and her fiance moved out of her childhood home and into their own 🥹 (technically it’s his moms property that she’s LENDING to them, she made that quite clear 😑)

Lmaoo they cannot be serious.

Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”: “hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people” “the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it” “no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella “being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death” “fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

In the end, it wasn’t a hard decision for the PSF to put our community and our values first, but it does mean we lost out on this large funding source. Donations and sponsorships will help us fill the gap, so we can continue supporting the Python ecosystem and living our values.

as facilitating “the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers” is written directly into our mission and core to our values, so we withdrew our application.

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

The official home of the Python Programming Language

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

ART insulting my intelligence was a good sign. It sounded almost normal again.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Let me emphasise: I don't (as a racialised person in academia myself) accept the caricature of DEI as a scheme for promoting those who lack merit. I am highlighting the hypocrisy of the reactionary right who peddle that caricature. The real scheme for meritless promotion is of course white supremacy

embarrassing in a different way, but at least one that doesn't disqualify you from being considered a human being

A split screen of a woman and a man talking. The top is the woman (Tina Fey as Liz Lemon) saying “What a week, huh?”. The bottom is the man (Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy) replying “Lemon, it’s Wednesday.”
