The FBI visited U.S. journalist Ken Klippenstein’s home after he published the embassy shooting suspect’s so called manifesto. The intimidation of the journalist is part of the wider Trump crackdown on speech and the pro-Palestine movement. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/powe...

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Gotta protect those mouth bones. Now do prescription drugs. All prescription drugs. This should be straight forward, if a DOCTOR says TAKE THIS, then it should be covered. Period.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Remember when they told us we'd all be going to work in the MetaVerse™️ by now? The MetaVerse™️ doesn't even exist anymore. This AI / LLM shit is not "inevitable".

Speech crisis is at "you can't make 'liberal-sounding' movies anymore."

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

some thing

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

I have finally entered the retro PC MIDI era! Both of these units needed some minor repair but nothing too tricky. (Just some bad joints on the connectors.) Paired with my PicoGUS (thanks @polpo.org) old DOS games sound awesome!

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

it's like Target *wants* to go out of business

The man on the left wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine *last week* that pregnancy is a one of the medical conditions that increases the risk of severe covid and thereby warrants vaccination. Covid infection is linked to miscarriages. MAHA is a cult. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/c...

Doot-doot doot! 🥳 Managed to pull Lil' Ica today on stream in #HSR! 🦄 At 73 pity though... oww says my e6 Seiba savings. 😢 That's 3x 50/50s that I've won in a row in this game that I've only played for 9 months... so much better than anything I've seen on my 4.5 year old #Genshin account! 🥺

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people. This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

“Bluesky is dying!” The biggest news on Twitter is a bunch of transphobes celebrating a 17 year old girl killing herself. I’d rather be here than there.

Google’s acquisition of Israeli software company, Wiz, for $32 billion shows just how much Silicon Valley is invested in Israeli tech. The problem is, almost all of Israeli tech is first developed by a genocidal army. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/what...

Abortion bans are a violation of the separation of church and state. So are book bans. So are anti-LGBT laws. So are school vouchers. Notice a pattern?

It's something that gets really old, admittedly speaking as someone with 8 games on Steam over 9 years that total less than 100 reviews between them

Another friendly reminder that if you've played an indie game that you enjoyed, the best thing you can do is leave a positive review. One review really can make a difference to help people discover it! (BTW, another One Minute Steam Review is on tap, hopefully in the next couple weeks)

Instead of simply wishing people well this Memorial Day, here are five concrete policies that will protect servicemembers abroad and on the home front:

For those of you who haven't noticed with #Saber in the upcoming #HSR collab, hoyo swapped her hands mid-ult... by error? Or if this is intentional, that's a weird thing to happen when the screen transitions from one to the next. 😒 youtu.be/51_UUJ7Sx-I?...

Americans think nothing bad will ever happen to them when something new and horrible happens to them every single day in the form of executive orders, court rulings, and laws passed.
