Let me guess, the part you didn't say out loud was that the people your stormtroopers pulled from their families, the ones that you hurt, they're not "Real," right? Is there a word for "Your soul is shit"? I think I've figured out when you'd use it, if there is.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

Got time for a Philosopunk interlude?

I'm so glad that Murderbot doesn't suck.

So, not impossible, then Mr. President. You defied the courts. You ought to swing for it, but you won't, because the system has been broken for years.

How about no?

"Why? So they can be held accountable? So justice can find them?" Yeah Mikey, Exactly. Just like we know your name. You can try to hide it with different words, but we fucking heard what you said.

Deathloop is free on Epic at the moment. I liked that game a LOT.

They want you homeless, I guess. I mean there's nothing on the slate to actually get you all homes you can afford once you're not getting rent subsidies, so... just die, I guess? I hate that my first thought was "Yeah, it's easier to disappear the homeless" but here we are.

No star wars No star trek Name a favourite sci-fi franchise

The sad cherry on top of this tragic sundae is that, for most of them, as soon as they get a job, they're going to get shit for not using an LLM to get their velocity up.

D-di-did Wargaming just get nationalized? Did I hear that right? Can we pause this sim? I'm pretty sure we're overflowing a memory register or something.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” Crowd forms in response to San Diego deportation effort.

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Least favorite monetization bullshit in awhile, candidly.

Hey happy birthday, ST. For awhile there, only about a year, I ran my BBS off a 1040st. Think I was using BBS Express, but it's been 30 or so years and I switched over to running stuff off PC pretty quickly. Still, was a great little machine that was already old by then but still going strong.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Assume this applies to every job in which AI is a possible tool, and at way more companies than are saying it out loud. I've spoken to enough of my colleagues to know it's happening to game designers, too.

Isn't it ironic? 🎶

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

You know what, Speaker Johnson, I agree. Medicaid cuts DO have a moral component: Seeing how cruel and malicious is it to cut healthcare for the needy in a country like this, with no other safety net to make up for it, requires you to have morals. That's why none of you see it.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

You can play the new sci-fi tactical squad-based game Xenopurge, as the team have released a free demo on Steam this week. #indiedev #indiegame

It's a crime, and I don't advocate committing crimes, but I do think it's worth reiterating that, while piracy is, indeed, a crime, it can also be an overtly political act.

Beyond parody.

Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.

OK, but hear me out: What if Nostradamus couldn't tell red from blue, and, like, what if he misinterpreted America to be some name for a place in middle east. I mean, a red baseball cap could seem like a blue turban if you factor in the year he lived in, right?

OK, so, look. If the president calling Harvard students, college kids "radicalized lunatics" doesn't put Trump in the "This is the bad guy bucket" for you, I'm ready to declare that's a you problem. Further, maybe talk to your therapist about it. Or, more accurately, maybe try therapy.

gender-affirming care has regret rates significantly below completely uncontroversial interventions like knee replacement surgery no study will ever tell you differently let trans people get the care they need

While Trump continues to cry for white South Africans, bemoaning a bogus white genocide, House Republicans voted for massive Medicaid cuts — voted for poor and middle class Americans to die by the millions

Why do the GOP, hating homeless people as much as they do, work so hard to create more every time they get the chance?
