So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

what I like to do in my free time is deeply invest in complicated and expensive smart home infrastructure only to have the extraction class abandon the platform because they're too lazy and cheap to spend some of their vast fortunes on quality control, software support, and customer service

I think a lot of people work off a model where the median voter is a concerned and deliberative centrist, but in reality the median voter operates by deranged moon logic that requires heavy psychedelics to understand

Just a reminder to all small vendors/businesses: Fuck StickerMule. Do not use them. The CEO is 1000% MAGA and has been for a looooong time. Like HobbyLobby or Uline levels of Do Not Use.

Hard to overstate what censorious bullshit this is. CBS would have 1A protection even if it had edited the interview in a "biased" way. But there was nothing biased or misleading about it. This is about intimidation -- and forcing future compliance with Trump's demands.

It'll be interesting to see which mainstream media outlets treat this obvious bit of garbage as legitimate and scientifically rigorous.

NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.

Pretty clear admission that the NYT killed a story about the implausibility of the lab leak because editors believed bad-faith Trump Admin sources over actual scientists. donaldgmcneiljr1954.medium.com/how-i-learne...

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

My favorite part of this story is Rufo, on cue, proudly admitting that he is there to radicalize powerful people. These fucking idiots think they’re engaged in the marketplace of ideas and they invite guys who tell any journalist who asks “I am here to rig the marketplace of ideas.”

If I had to think about what the single worst response I could muster up for the question of whether or not a very good friend’s impassioned plea for compassion and to have a care for their trans child (who I presumably also know) had moved me whatsoever, it would probably be, “Oh, heavens no.”

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been not fantastic for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

And this is why I haven't had a TV license since before the pandemic. Fuck the BBC and their gleeful slide towards right-wing politics. Don't need their news, don't need their political humor, and I can do a lot better sci-fi wise than Doctor Who.

This is a major change in how the government presumes to protect news media right to obtain info through leaks, effectively stripping protections. I should add it was pretty quickly leaked to me

Goddamn, I think this might be the best example of how much of a slaughterhouse this month has been for games. So much interesting stuff released all at once. It was fierce competition until Bethesda dropped a nuke on everyone.
