Huh, weird

vote in the wisconsin state supreme court election today so that elon musk has the worst night imaginable

GodDAMN I cannot wait for AI to collapse in on itself. All these "respectable" journalist types pretending it's incoming are so fucking frustrating

just so funny that the Trump administration leaked vital military secrets to the one journalist on earth whose chief preoccupation was helping them not leak military secrets and their immediate response to his article was "accuse him of spying"

Turns out they can make bold unqualified statements. Just not about the disappearing and torture of legal residents and citizens

The Gang Illegally Shares U.S. War Planning Details With A Journalist

Part 1 on neighbors being disappeared by the US government.

“I can’t believe they are damaging Elon musks private property” Why can’t you believe this. He is shortening your lifespan and destroying your planet. What is the acceptable response to capitalists deciding it’s more convenient to cause ecological collapse and mass death than stop climate change?

you really ought to read this.

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

i love rapid unscheduled disassembly

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

This is literally how Trump won both times

The counter-argument is that Hickenlooper's worst-case scenario is indistinguishable from what's already happening

🥴

asmongold thinks its a violation of free speech when devs make videogame boobs smaller, but when the dhs openly kidnaps a greencard holder for being pro palestine, he thinks its awesome and not a violation of the first amendment. classic free speech defender stuff here.

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

This type of lawyer-brain is so, so bad and poisonous. The future of US democracy does *not* rest solely on whether Trump will defy court orders. It’s perfectly possible to destroy democracy without doing that, as long as you have a friendly court. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/o...

For years I was inoculated from ads with streaming subscriptions and YouTube Premium, but they’ve bled back through on Amazon Prime. I feel like I’m having an alien experience, I didn’t realise how strange advertisements were. Do these work? They feel like licking a battery

It’s hard to say Into Darkness is the worst Trek movie when there are other far shoddier films, boring in ways devoid of ambition, but it’s certainly the Trek film that most thinks Trek is lame and for nerdy losers.

There's been a lot of talk recently about game discoverability on Steam, so here's a reminder to check out Ludocene, a game discoverability app which is powered by people, not algorithms. It's nearly reached its goal but needs a little more to make it happen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud...

the democratic party leadership sorely underestimates how much young people fucking despise them

Said it a few years ago, it’s more true now, and it gets truer as execs keep killing game studios and decimating movies: Capitalism’s so fucked that it won’t even provide bread and circuses anymore. They’re consuming the very escapism that distracts us from their consumption. Useless ghouls.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

I’ll admit it: I am a pearlclutcher who really dislikes it when people use this dehumanising phrase to talk about people, and who cannot understand why people don’t immediately grasp why it is distasteful.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

The fun thing about America having centuries of unbroken institutional legitimacy is that the President can publicly say "I am doing a coup, illegally, in order to break the law for my own benefit" and 95% of people on both sides will say, "Oh no, he's not, that'd be crazy."

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase “banality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else. To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour

*as I sprint rightward seaching for money* I didn't leave the left the left left me

big final goal time: if we hit the next goal, the charity streams will continue into the weekend! donates and shares very appreciated! thank you 🐱

many people seem to understand how the mega-rich can subvert democracy by purchasing a political party's loyalty, but pull up short of understanding that they can just do that to the whole system. as if their wealth only gets one vote & has to pick a side
