13 is playing Splatoon and the other players are not mincing words about American fascism lmao

Having fun with custom control nodes #godot

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Good morning Happy Earth Day

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott

Poilievre in disarray

Trump *increased tariffs* on China to 125%, stacked an extra 10% tariffs on Canada and Mexico along with every other country, *and* clearly could change his mind at any moment. It's interesting seeing people say this is him ending tariffs, or reversing position, or indicating more stability.

I bet every country was offering zero for zero, but that wouldn't do anything for the trade deficits and he was desperate for a "President Deals" headline. So he comes up with a 90 day "pause" where levels are still such that the economy will be wrecked, but traders don't read past headlines so 👍

[at the front of a bread line] uh yeah, uh. uh, i’ll have the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. huh. i’ll uh, i’ll. oh you know what? here’s what i’ll do. i’ll get the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

104% tariffs on Chinese imports sounds like something you'd do to cut trade ties as a preliminary step for a hot war

Trying to not get my hopes up, but I do hope it's more like British imperial decline rather than Russia in the 1990s. For obvious reasons but also then we get this fella

Fun with UI. Bring back Luigi

Went to the lib rally to be a body. The "ho ho hey hey Trump just crashed your 401k" chant speaks to the makeup of the organizers

Grateful to ChatGPT for coming up with a plan to destroy itself

So the answer to the question of who's going to do "it" - almost definitely a small business owner, right?

Sounds like USian quality of life has been largely propped up by a very favorable position in international trade

True. Also true that a lot of Americans burned things the last five years. Our militarized police attacked them and I believe there are credible accounts of assassinations.

And another thing. His name is Moldbug. Don't let him pretend to be a human.

Again: their disdain for the humanities is why they don't understand that, from a historical perspective, their plan ends with their heads being detached from their bodies

Hey, is it good when the first header in Money Stuff is "Welp"? Asking for an ostensibly advanced economy

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Green Mount Cemetery, Baltimore, MD. A fist has burst from the ground and claws at its surroundings to break free from the earth

Trump take job

They should make this but for economists

Really wish that instead of experimenting on us with ChatGPT they had just put glue on pizza and killed themselves

All those manosphere types are about to become a bunch of soyboys

Gaming is back. It's good again

American Juche is gonna make the Switch 2 sell at $900

I'm going to say something that will likely get me yelled at but USians on the whole are simply NOT going to countenance higher prices. This is a population that expects cheap goods as a birthright. A population that absolutely will not "sacrifice" on the whole for some nebulous goal.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, everyone!

Between the water reservoir release in the Central Valley, tariffs on imports, climate change, and bird flu, a lot of people in the US are probably going to be subsisting on grains later this year

Steve Jobs doesn't get enough blame for the state of tech and its impact on the current sociopolitical environment. We should reenact the Cadaver Synod with him

Elon wants to be a giant worm who lives for 3500 years, but all he's gonna get is the Butlerian Jihad

Passing the same $20 back and forth on GoFundMe

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

The guy who drinks fish tank cleaner has some interesting ideas about what we should and shouldn't be putting into our bodies

It would be a great historical irony if our would-be Silicon Valley dictators like Musk & Thiel meet their downfall because they didn't take any fucking humanities courses

the horrorists arrives for NPR & PBS & other public radio/television today. @wfmu.bsky.social station manager ken says he'll be providing live commentary starting at 10. oversight.house.gov/release/doge...

The maps in my game are procedurally-generated from noise textures, so that allows me to do fun things like take the image, stick it in the notes section of the HackRabbit quickstart manual, and then draw the player's traveled path. #godot #gamdev #indiegames

every american sees this in their vision after eating a cheeseburger
