It’s a Nazi bar.

Adding ALT text because it's necessary

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

Our economic/political systems produce utterly inept leaders. Paid off for failing. * world is on fire * authoritarian surveillance state * medical system sucks * a tiny percent own everything * captured media * shit education * laughable retirement * US being dismantled * tax cuts for the rich

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Bill Atkinson, the code wizard behind QuickDraw that powered the original Macintosh's graphics sytem, MacPaint and HyperCard passed away yesterday. We all stand on the shoulders of giants and this was one of them. Thank you Bill! You helped pave rest of us.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

Why is it I'm logged in to a paid account and browsing Tubi for stuff to watch and I see something and I click on it and it says "Content Unavailable"? Then why did you show it to me?!?!? 3 of the 12 things in this image from the Tubi home page are "Content Unavailable" when I click them:

I guess any weekend-sized indie games I make from now on, if anyone asks I'll say it took a team of 800 developers and $50 million dollars to make.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

Wait this isnt NYT pitchbot? They really published an ethicist column asking if it was moral to make money leasing to an ICE holding facility, and the answer was yes? LMAO laying it on a little thick even for you guys

Oh, this again? Never change, games.

FIX: Because sign(0) = 0, the quoted never generates sin=+-1, cos=0. That also happened to dodge inf/nan case for reciprocal sqrt(), which I apparently shouldn't use anyway. So: x = (signed_byteval & ~1) / 128.0f s = sign(signed_byteval - 0.5)*(1 - x*x) c = ((signed_byteval & 1)*2-1)*sqrt(1 - s*s)

and not just dev hate from gamers, this is courting investors. "look how much product we can produce with fewer workers"

DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They’re using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely. store.steampowered.com/app/2958130/...

Reminder: Actors are still on strike for bare minimum guard rails on the use of AI in videogames and we have been for 11 months. We have struck longer and with less resources than our on-camera colleagues.

all these public officials insist they will resist the Trump admin adn that they don't support ICE...and then the police departments they supposedly control rush out to beat up anti ICE protestors.

why the fuck do game people keep giving this asshole's bullshit their attention?

BREAKING: Donald Trump has imposed a travel ban targeting 12 countries.

Re: Trump being in the Epstein files, I remind you of the 2016 report about our pussy-grabber-in-chief checking out naked teens in pageant dressing rooms from 1996-200???:

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

My previous rant about this was in the other place, so here's a repost: nothings.org/remote/z_up.... Since that's very long and detailed, short explanation is that in games, the "up" axis is exceptional, and making Y-up puts the up axis in between the two normal axes, which is weird & annoying.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Well, here's another reason I would have had to quit Epic anyway if I hadn't already. I don't care about the non-game industries. 3D worlds should be right-handed Z-up, no room for debate, sorry.

Jesus fucking Christ a bunch of *children* committed an acid attack against a trans woman in Philly. this is what this fucking ever-escalating rhetoric gets us; children are radicalized before they can even conceptualize of the weight of their actions www.inquirer.com/crime/acid-a...

masked men are taking people off the street to be held without charge or recourse to habeas corpus and sometimes given life sentences in places the government says they can't be removed from. she's right. that's secret police

Watching a movie written by Lev Grossman and... oh, hey, look, it's an Austin Grossman cameo. Weird choice, but okay. Hey, waitaminute...

This is actually the 7th person confirmed infected from one measles flier. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases that exists, and a lot of people in North America have it right now. People can be contagious days before developing any symptoms, and it can be spread simply through breathing.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.
