It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Former Treasury Secretaries also think DOGE and its takeovers of government systems is a grave threat: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

"There is nothing more important on the entire planet than getting Elon Musk and DOGE out of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service" www.crisesnotes.com/elon-musk-wa...

I think there's a term that refers to government ownership of property, but I can't think of it. Oh well, probably not important.

One of my ongoing UI gripes is when two buttons with opposite, drastic effects are right next to each other. It happens way too often! The "save the world" and "destroy the world" buttons should be further apart!

Going back to work after the holidays is sobering enough, but on top of that the Steam store goes back to its non-sale layout.

US Gov: We're banning tiktok because China could use it to get American's data China: hacks the US telecoms system in the worst breach in our nation's history US Gov: idk, maybe stop calling and texting so much *shrug*

I look forward to the day when the mass media no longer thinks its noteworthy that a criminal suspect has played video games before.

This week's word is - "Schadenfreude"

OK, cool. But also I have mixed feeling on finding librarians valuable only insomuch as they can fit into a war and hyper-masculine framing.

From Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny

Joe Biden is basically a guy in the midst of large-scale looting that's like "You know what, maybe I'll get a candy bar for myself"

I remember dealing with save passwords from back in the NES days, but now I'm spoiled to the point I must be able to walk away from a game at a moment's notice with my progress saved.

I know we're still feeling things out here, but can we please not call these "skeets"?

I would LOVE more musou games in general, but particularly ones based of western IPs: www.thegamer.com/dynasty-warr...

On the rare occasion I get a "BREAKING" Windows 11 news notification I'm like "oh god, WW3?" but no it's always like "Pete Buttigieg says dogs are 'just okay'"

I mean, that's more than fair, right?

Intermittent issues across Microsoft 365 products: a Thanksgiving work-week miracle!

Classic Republican mad-lib: The only moral [IMMIGRANT] is my [IMMIGRANT] www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

ResistX1000 has a compelling opening but I'm realizing how many JRPG stories, no matter how futuristic or fantastical, have key story elements that happen a in contemporary high school. #resistx1000

Garbage truck with a rough start to the week

My favorite genres of music: 1. I'm sad 2. I'm mad at the government 3. I'm sad and also mad at the government

Oops I accidentally believed history was a straight line and not a pendulum

How did Bluesky know I like to look at pictures of pizza?
