I need a t-shirt that just says "it's not Lost Media, it's at Surugaya"

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

Today's tech truthiness:

PSA to all speedrunners - PLEASE download and upload all highlights to YouTube. Huge amounts of speedrunning history will be lost if we don't take action. Even if you're under 100 hours, play it safe and download. It's 100 hours for now, but who knows in the future.

so officially-cool retrotech youtuber Tech Connections found the best thing in an obscure astrology program while he was repairing an old Tandy Computer. The "MAYBE QUIT" option!

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

Mine is my friend who hates Ponyo and expounds at length on why it didn't work for him and why specifically he dislikes it and then I always just reply "Ponyo wants ham"

There's only one other person in this Drs. office waiting room. She's a little old lady. She is listening to TikToks at full volume without headphones. I am learning way too much about her but I am don't want to confront her to demand she turn it down. Send help.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Found that Religious Persecution By The Government you've spent decades looking for

tbh given that Musk just plugged a random email server into the federal government's network, i suspect every foreign power has been working overtime this week and already has basically all the data they want.

Do you have access to a Sharp Famicom Titler? Do you know someone who does? I need HD top down photos of the front and back of the motherboard. If you are able to get the photos, please toss them in a GDrive folder and DM me the link. Reposts are appreciated.

The champions of Free Speech are now forcing scientists to retract submitted publications until they can be checked for the appearance of “forbidden terms.”

I need one(1) American Patriot® to take away this man's phone

I wanted a gender swapped version of the Sickos meme, so I took the liberty of finding a comic where Stan Kelly drew a female equivalent of the spiky-haired guy, and swapped him out with her, enjoy.

They live in a propaganda bubble crafted by thousands of corporate lobbyists. If all you saw was Politico, Axios, Morning Joe, the NYT, everyone you talked with had ties to Wall Street and Silicon Valley, then this is how you'd be acting.
