I've cancelled my Discord Nitro account. I'm sad that they didn't ask why when I did it.

Here is a true thing and it has nothing to do with sales or marketing or my of that noise.

If your blood family sucks, come be with us. I get the privilege of inviting you to be an honorary X-Man and you get to ride in the Blackbird and steal Gambit’s beer and be part of a family that loves you.

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

Hmm. If Leavitt and the administration lied about the racist video, I wonder if there is the slightest possibility they might have maybe stretched the truth ever so slightly on other issues.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man β€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people β€” derided as lunatic wine moms β€” were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Screenshot of an X.com post by Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) arguing that Hillary Clinton is mentioned zero times in the Epstein files while Trump is mentioned over 38,000 times, questioning why Trump and Melania are not being asked to testify. Below is a composite image with a TV news split screen showing a male commentator speaking and, alongside it, a photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton walking hand in hand outdoors.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I wonder what Epstein meant when he texted his lawyer friend about taking Bob Kraft, owner of the Patriots, as a client after Krafts prostitution arrest. A text that read: β€œYou need to know about a past issue with Kraft that may come to light,”

The Epstein Scandal affects all the MAGA pedophiles.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

The last home sleep study I did, I had to wear this thing on my nose and go the whole night without my CPAP mask. I got zero sleep and woke up a bunch of times gasping and in a panic. I feel like they learned without a doubt that I have sleep apnea, which I was diagnosed with in 2007.
