Turns out curling up and repeating over and over that "It's a distraction! It's a distraction!" did not comport with the reality, which anyone could've told them, including the Republicans, who wrote an entire dossier explaining their plan years ahead of time, but Dems didn't take seriously.

It is genuinely impossible to overstate how stupid and craven the executive class is, or how hostile to the creative work and to the workers that create the billions of dollars of value that they parasitize

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

A lot of people are freaking out about this in the most directionless way possible, which is the standard for Americans right now, but I'd like to speak to people who are about what I'm about: there will never be a better time to read and write about this, to engage in radical education on this.

They have been a necessary cog in the fascist machine. To vote for the Democrats is to vote for a tank's treads, rather than its gun.

I hate to respond to this foolishness with sense rather than the mockery it richly deserves, but to say this in the wake of BG3’s monumental success is particularly egregious

Every SEO farm mid-size games journalist publication is going to shift a little to the right by baiting with this kind of social post, bc they care most about traffic ie money. The trickle down effect of Asmongold and crew going increasingly right-wing is really bad for the whole industry

pretty sure "commit the sin of empathy" is from the lessons of vivec, it has the same exact vibe as "reach heaven by violence"

the democrats already destroyed gaza. it wasn't a case of 'not doing enough,' biden did absolutely nothing to stop the genocide. it is supremely misguided and patronizing and to see him lose votes for that and scold anyone but him

US liberals talk about protecting democracy a lot but they seem to revile it in practice. the idea that a politician should ever be required to do anything to win votes, rather than simply represent an amorphously 'good' or 'bad' team, is treated as some sick heresy

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

Why would I be interested in forming a coalition with people who have historically sabotaged and/or declawed every political movement they've ever been involved in?

Mine's pretty obvious - when I started this hobby just before lockdown I wanted to paint Space Marines because I thought they'd be easier to learn on as I had to paint with my nondominant hand 😆 obviously I can relate to a chapter of elective amputees #warhammercommunity
