Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

“Why is Elon’s coup not on the front page of the New York Times???” idk, probably because the NYT is a puzzle game app that happens to also release articles about how trans people aren’t real but are also somehow a menace. It’s like asking why there isn’t a sonnet printed on your toilet paper

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you. Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴

Listen to me very fucking carefully: We need you. We fucking need you There's no one else who can replace you in this fight — and it is a fight. And if you aren't fucking here anymore? That means you cannot contribute, we cannot replace you and we fucking need you.

Reminders on doing the work includes using Glaze to poison AI scrapers, uploading surreal images to geolocations, recording LEOs, masking in public, protecting family (chosen or otherwise), and enjoying what you want to enjoy. Don't apologize for you, your lived experiences are yours. Be Water.

Poking fun of people for grieving the loss of community is basic asshole behavior. Even if that community was on an app.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

If we can take one thing from the way lynch talks about art I think it should be to never again dilute your vision and don't put off any art you want to make because it all dies with you, there's no other way, there's no one else

Can’t get past the NYPD and Eric Adams putting on a ridiculous show of force to transport Luigi Mangione and make the ruling class feel better. And across town they’re using force to attack a strike and make the ruling class feel better. Rarely is the purpose of cops so obvious.

Eleven counts. The first two both invoking terrorism. The ruling class is treating killing one of their own, with the motive being related to the evils of our health care system, as a fundamentally different act than if you or I were to be murdered.

Today’s @404media.co story detailing the exposure of administrative credentials to a major social media age verification platform, potentially allowing hackers to access sensitive data such as driver’s license images, is just more evidence that age verification bills like KOSA are dangerous.

It turns out that the major pharmacies in the U.S. routinely provide patient medical records to law enforcement without a warrant. The potential ramifications of this for anyone on birth control, ordering abortion pills, or medication for mental illness and other personal conditions are staggering.

So am I understanding correctly that Jacobin & Verso Books edited, published, & actually printed an entire book dedicated to Henry Kissinger's war crimes, waiting for this day to release and publicize the book with copies ready to go? jacobin.com/store/produc...

This is going to get real out of hand. Now considering the FBI won’t classify any white nationalist or neo-Nazi group as violent extremists. This appears to be the bad kind of foreshadowing for what’s to come.

Finished Mass Effect: LE (incl a NG+ ME3 pass) and it lived up to the hype. Deep lore, nice mix of gameplay, great visuals. Ending very DeusEx. Holds up well. But: The writers did Liara dirty in ME3. Kaiden is awful (srsly, wtf?). Serial monogamy across all races? Genetically perfect human not bi?

While listening to a DnB/Neuro DJ stream I heard a vocal sample from Return to Zork (released almost exactly 30yrs ago) layered inside the track. A quote burned into my brain forever due to the number of times you needed to hear it to get past a character. "Want some rye? 'course ya do!"

I have 5G mitichlorians and regular viral waste in the midst of teaching me a thing or 2 about immune response. Also managed to cram in Costco trip (They carry Aardvark now! 🤘) before my arm got sore. Now for 1-2 days of no brain, only egg mode.

I Look Up to the Sky by Samuel ibn Naghrillah. A muwashshah poem written in the 11th century, a time in Iberia when learning together was the focus, not the exception. We interrogate perception, rewarded with shattered pieces as context. No one gets them all. Even when it's pieces of ourselves.

Just finished the demo for Talos Principle 2. Wow it's gorgeous! And given the depth you only get to scratch at, I think it'll be a jewel showcasing UE5 for storytelling & puzzles. If the writing keeps pace with the snippets and interactions in the Demo, Croteam has set a new bar. 2 Nov Release.
