Trump 2, Fyre Fest 2 America will never stop giving second chances to dipshit con artists

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

bloody mary from lethal rage.

my girls. #COTW

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

MAI

Fuck. Off. Into. Space. Ideas are not the problem. Everyone has an idea. If you don't have an idea, GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. LITERALLY ANYTHING. IT'S OK! OTHER THINGS ARE ALSO GOOD!

I talked to developers about Microsoft's newly announced generative AI model, Muse, and its role in video games: "When we rely on this stuff we are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives." www.wired.com/story/xbox-m...

The other website is pretty much done

I also came to understand that I've never done much KOF work outside of drawing Iori, so K' is on the way!

This is why I love encyclopedias (Wikipedia included) because I'll go to look up one thing and end up going down three or four adjacent rabbit holes along the way that I never would have otherwise. The hyper-fixation on AI that can tell you "the answer" or do your thinking for you is just...bad.

This is a steal at this price. Awesome fighting game, great netcode, cross play.

Sure, since you asked so nicely! 1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obama’s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle — a powerful senator! — from being Obama’s HHS pick.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

happy presidents day

people are always baffled by how much some sonic fans miss sally as if she’s just some obscure character from an old cartoon and it’s like. well she was also the female lead of the longest running licensed video game comic ever. 24 years and almost 300 issues of that will net you some fans, perhaps

Why is Joe wearing glasses? Wtf Also Mr. Big as DLC! Double wtf https://buff.ly/4gIzFB4

Had a quiet evening painting at home with the wife for Valentine's Day (got the kits from Painting With a Twist)

CBS is one of a dozen U.S. outlets that responded to authoritarianism by shifting coverage further right, which is why we're calling rounding up minorities in the middle of the night and dumping them in random countries they've never been to a "breakthrough"

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell

本日の一枚。 CAPCOMとSNK、それぞれのキャラクターの魅力を意識しつつ、明るい印象にまとめました。配置にもこだわりましたので、パッケージの反対側の面とも比較して楽しんでいただけると嬉しいです。(ヒナナナ) #カプコンアートワーク #ファイコレ2 #CAPCOM #ARTWORK capcom-games.com/cfc2/ja-jp/

you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got innumeracy

SNKさんの京と庵を業務で描くという、珍しい機会に緊張しました。おもてなしの感覚で真ん中にベンチを置いたので2人に座ってもらい、花を散らせてみました。(実田千聖) @mitachisato.bsky.social #カプコンアートワーク #ファイコレ2 #CAPCOM #ARTWORK www.capcom-games.com/cfc2/ja-jp/

BREAKING: #SonicRacingCrossworlds trailer debuts at #StateofPlay. First half of trailer below:

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Was working on a small thing for divekicks in fighting games and went to google for help since I know I dont know every divcekick that exists in them. It opened my eyes to some new divekick moves: Plese take a look at these and ler me know what changes need to be made. all thanks to Allen Iverson

This story is wild. The Libertarian Party chair was allegedly caught embezzling money. When the committee began investigating, she resigned abruptly, took a job in the federal government & is asking for help from the FBI & the State Dept. The jokes. They write themselves. reason.com/2025/02/04/l...

One little known fact about my family is that my grandad predicted the Titanic would sink. He even went around warning everyone it was unsafe and was ignored and yelled at. Then when it actually happened just like he said it would nobody acknowledged him because he'd been evicted from the theatre

we're going to need independent, authoritative medical statisticians - probably having to compile data down to the level of individual hospitals in red states - to measure the rise in deaths as a result of this, because they're corrupting or removing the data at the federal level

I tried to recreate the old Iori x Kyo doujin style from the 90s~ this style was so soft and beautiful, I love it! #Kyokusanagi #Ioriyagami #KOF

Just a heads up that this isn’t an exaggeration and HB899 is terminating the Department of Education. It’s actually the title of the bill.

Tech media is leaps and bounds ahead of the traditional newspapers covering Trump. I highly recommend subscribing to @404media.co @techdirt.com.web.brid.gy (follow @mmasnick.bsky.social) @wired.com They are putting in the work and not dancing around what's really happening.

“Actually it’s good that a bunch of teenagers are unilaterally firing thousands of government employees because they have ChatGPT” i can’t get over how unfathomably stupid the average SF venture capitalist is

I took this advice and I'm glad I did

Beat would absolutely do this. #JetSetRadio

Multiversus got cancelled before they could realize the full potential of the roster: utilizing the Property Brothers as Warner Discovery's Ice Climbers.

Damn.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Importantly it found just 10% of trans youth in the study had actually been allowed to access hormones, so all the terrible things you've heard about trans youth in the UK is under a system *that isn't giving them health care*
