It's that time of year when all my bills collide with vehicular costs. I've got re-registration, inspection, and minor repairs that need taken care of on top of my usual costs, so any help is greatly appreciated!

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.

Do you actually know how Hawai’i became a state?
“In 1893, white businessmen, backed by U.S. Marines, staged a coup d’état. They held Queen Liliʻuokalani at gunpoint and forced her to surrender her throne. Hawai‘i didn’t ‘join’ the United States — it was stolen.”

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Holy shit McCarthyism
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."
