Look I get it's a meme, but do support the Expedition 33 team. It's a humble studio from Montpelier and they could use all the support instead of buying yet another remaster of an old game to chase nostalgia

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks the Energy Department from implementing its indirect-costs "rate cap" plan. DOE sought to implement the plan — a copycat of the NIH plan that has already been blocked — immediately against universities.

As DOJ argues that federal courts have no authority to order "any particular acts of diplomacy," I want to remind everyone that SCOTUS let Matthew Kacsmaryk seize control of Biden's border policy for 10 months and micromanage diplomatic negotiations with Mexican officials. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is a cartoonish representation of oligarchic domination: a chauvinist billionaire donned in gold jewellery and smoking a cigar, celebrating a supreme court ruling that (by her own side's account) wouldn't have gone through without her extensive financial and political investments

Greg Abbott is giving a huge handout to the rich, wrecking the state's public schools, violating the First Amendment, clearing the path for compulsory religious indoctrination, and ruining his own ambition for national office.

Here is Kayli Mills - voice of Keqing in Genshin Impact - explaining that she tries to believe the best if a client signs AI protections, even basic ones She then states in Genshin’s case *there is no language pertaining to AI at all* Unlike on other Hoyo games ZERO protections from AI on Genshin

not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

Imagine being so brainwashed in reactionary centrism you don't know our next election - IF there is one - is 18 months away. Imagine not realizing that come election, markets, wallets, investments will still be trashed. Imagine believing humans shipped to concentration camps isn't worth raising.

Birth control next. Don’t know how to say this more plainly

I sympathize with feeling fear to do your job but I feel strongly the remedy is to quit your job, not to stop doing it, especially when people rely on you to do your job.

I need help paying bills and saving up for the mortgage in May. I'm unemployed, looking for a job, and not finding one yet. I'm worried about how I'll make ends meet this month. My cashapp, ko-fi, venmo, and paypal are all thiiirdperson. It hurts to have to ask. Please help if you are able.

the present shortcoming is not that people protesting are cringe it's that there isn't presently a mass commitment to the kind of action that would force regime change. that isn't a criticism, just an observation. these things take time. and with time all things are possible.

If America were almost any other country we'd be calling this what it very clearly is. In fact, we would have been doing so for a lot longer than a couple of months.

NEW: The Trump administration swiftly cancelled dozens of international student visas Friday at Stanford and University of California campuses, including UCLA, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego.

I keep seeing a lot of people saying things like, “We need artists now more than ever!” (Referring to how they say art gets society through tough times.) To that I say, actually pay artists. Share their work. Don’t demand things out of them for free when we all are subject to paying bills.

The better off you are, the more you think that both political parties care about the poor

Can't wait to be liberated from affordable goods and services and then die in a nuclear war 💪

white collar crimes need to be treated as crimes. if they exceed a certain dollar value they need to be treated identically to attempted murder or murder.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk's latest filings include a strong set of declarations from a number of experienced immigration lawyers in MA, NH, VT, and ME who say the way Öztürk was rapidly shuttled out of state and then from place to place was highly unusual, illogical, and (by all appearances) unnecessary.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

In light of what's happening today, Microsoft has a choice to make. They could push back the sunset of security updates for Windows 10, loosen the system requirements for Windows 11, or see the complete collapse of the PC market in October when people simply can't afford to upgrade their machines.

That sound you hear? The scream of hundreds of tabletop gaming companies as their business models collapse simultaneously.

This is why it is important to lean on the Republicans too. Every member of Congress should be catching pure hell about what is happening right now. And the governors of every state. A foot on all of their necks, because that's all they understand.

it is really funny to see after years of donkey kong country games nintendo try to assert dominance and be like “ACTUALLY we think donkey kong looks like this now!” between his ass being in suspenders and the look of those levels, that is almost an entirely different character at this point to me

this is the most lucid explanation of how the u.s. thinks about economics - worth noting that this isn't a new development exactly, the entire stock market is also vibes

And sadly, a whole bunch of the people mad about the pronoun stuff are definitely okay with the torture prison stuff and probably think the tax hike is worth it, too.

Basically it's become very clear what a lot of leftists were trying to tell people for a long time - legal institutions, police, law enforcement, intelligence and security are weaponized to protect the interests of fascism and capital. They will be used to settle personal grudges.

The US stock market has lost over $2 trillion in the last 20 minutes. Nice, nice. Nice.
