"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

When Bioshock Infinite came out in 2013 it was considered so significant because the protagonist was fully voiced and silent protagonists were so very common in gaming, especially first person shooters. Now 12 years later it's suddenly "we can't have silent characters it would ruin us, get the AI!"

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

the article speaks to a phenomenon i have been watching with horror: our sources of information nowadays, being ad delivery platforms, have realized it's more effective to show us what we want to see (or more specifically, what drives us to engage more with that platform) rather than what is.

BREAKING: The U.S. government confirms they are trying to deport Palestinian grad student Mahmoud Khalil—not for any crime, but for his beliefs. A memo from Marco Rubio says his pro-Palestine activism “damages U.S. foreign policy.” This is state repression, plain and simple.

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is no way they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

At a certain point it just doesn't matter anymore. No difference between 145% and 14,500%. This will require a complete reversal of the tariffs if trade is to resume.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Donald Trump needs to be relentlessly bullied and destroyed emotionally. This trash can of a man has to be shrink rayed to the size of molecules. We need to lock him in a car on a sunny day until he turns into a comedically large popcorn.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

This is just getting stupid at this point. Why be a leader if it's just going to jump back and forth on decisions. At least there is a pause on some tariffs

Other Chinese developers have signed the SAG-Aftra interim agreement agreement. Almost 200 other developers have signed. Including indie devs. It is not unreasonable. It is not “mafia tactics.” Gacha fans have not unlocked a secret conspiracy that many game developers would have spotted first.
