The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ppl on here scolding “don’t get distracted! stay focused!” like everyone on Bsky is collectively in charge of a v important lawsuit that would stop all the crimes, & we have to file it today but we keep getting distracted by our lil jokes & dropping the legal paperwork & slipping on it like Mr Bean

always the shittiest people u most expect

A thesis that nobody's read, narrated by someone who isn't there, for an audience that doesn't exist. open.substack.com/pu... A platform took my PhD thesis and used AI to turn it into a podcast, then emailed me expecting me to be grateful about it. I... am not. #AI #Podcast #Publishing

watching @hbomberguy.bsky.social video on why Fallout: New Vegas is genius and I wish the graphics on Xbox were better, because that game is hideous as sin

is Youtube on Chrome broken? Good lord

I may feel nothing for this game but @kalaelizabeth.bsky.social has a great video on the game's (ridiculous, convoluted and boring) story youtu.be/rOcOBcsQ540?...

Are we great yet?

My mind split in two because I had to take a minute to scrutinise the account's name.

We got another update on Jonathan Joss’ murder in San Antonio. The SAPD are walkkng back on their statatement that his murder was not a hate crime. I’m glad the attention to this case is forcing the police department to investigate this as what it was. A hate crime. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

i keep thinking about this

WATCH: Chris Hayes on the growing prevalence of “secret police” in the Trump-Stephen Miller era of ICE raids: “They’re usually masked—hiding their faces—and either wearing plain clothes or irregular uniforms. They won't give their names or say what agency they're with.”

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

you’re laughing? the leopards have resorted to cannibalism and you’re LAUGHING?

I feel bad for the deportees.

Genuinely feel like the odd one out among my game critic colleagues who all seemed to love Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but it did absolutely nothing for me in terms of story by the end. A great topic for a panel discussion.

Verdict on Clair Obscur l: Expedition 33: Totally went off the rails storywise in Act 3. What a disappointment. Do not recommend it at all. Great combat system, stunning music, beautiful art. But it made zero sense & nothing is explained. I never want to think of this game again.

I am about to finish Clair Obscur and I genuinely have no clue whats going on.

What an unbelievably boring and horrible boss fight. God I hate this game

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

I love this guy

who would have thought the guy who bought a teen beauty pageant so he could barge into the dressing room would have involved himself with a different wealthy serial predator

Musk could finally do something that is actually funny.

Racism. Claims about “national security” are always BS, because it’s a broad term that allows you to never specify how banning an entire nation protects the security of your own. They don’t care care about national security. Travel restrictions are always xenophobic policies on two legs.

Advance notice to all political pundits and columnists: you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to him

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

I feel bad for our country. But this is tremendous content
