The National Weather Service has KY offices in Jackson, Paducah and Louisville. They’re the people who generate the data for weather forecasts you see on the news and who inform you of tornadoes and storms like the one that just caused flooding in all 120 counties

With Meta out there banging on the "snitches get stitches" drum, seemed like a good time to lay out my best guidance for tech industry employees who feel a need to speak up. Below are a few notes: www.theverge.com/labor/621059...

Pokemon ZA hate feels forced It seems Gamefreak listened and the game got more time - looks and runs a whole lot better than legends and S/V despite having 9 months of development left Just doesn’t seem realistic to expect more drastic changes on the same hardware within a few years

sometimes you finish recording a video and you just

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

well I am going to be thinking about this forever.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Medicaid is a lifeline for 72 million Americans — putting health care within reach for the elderly, Americans with disabilities, and children. Last night, Republicans refused to protect Medicaid and moved one step closer to slashing its funding.

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is how it’s done.

They should add a feature to Bluesky where if you see this image, you are propelled helplessly down the timeline with zero control over where it lands.

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

This is the story.

It's true. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgkT...

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Just one more move to the right. That'll do it. That will finally neutralise the fascists.

This. This should be the standard.

Maybe there is some truth to Nintendo Switch 2 games getting more expensive. The Switch Game Vouchers program won’t be compatible with the new console’s titles. en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/...

The early days of Covid showed us that if the government wanted - they could take care of everyone. They could provide a universal basic income, accommodate the needs of disabled people who had been pleading for remote healthcare & other services for years. They could keep us fed, safe and housed 🧵

Wondering why there are so few unions in video games? Why some shops have taken *years* to reach contracts? Why the movement seems to be progressing so slowly? I'll be interviewing one of the industry's top organizers at GDC in a few weeks — don't miss it: schedule.gdconf.com/session/unio...

We weren’t kidding when we said they were coming after the Affordable Care Act. Here is step one of how they’ll rip away health care from your family. ⬇️ www.axios.com/2025/02/14/t...

Hmm I guess $70 games with no physical release are my limit. Paying a premium for a temporary nontransferable license that will cease to work after a decade or a little business disruption isn’t ideal I can wait

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

What time is it?

@pikhacker.bsky.social I've been trying to find your change log for what is different between Pikmin²'s launch version and version 1.1, can you detail it for me so I can see if I want to update?

We gotta run this dude outta town

Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk, and stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn't be higher and no one is coming to fix this- not our politicians and not our media. It's up to collective effort.

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?
