I kept meaning to show off how the Tide cards in #VacuumTCG actually look in action, so here's a clip! As they spin, they flash in and out of visibility! #gamedev

It's not just ICE that's the problem. So long as the systems of governance and economic hierarchy which enabled its creation in the first place exist, something similar will rise to replace it.

Kash Patel, carrying on the time-honoured legacy of the FBI ignoring laws and messaging lies for the express purpose of countering revolutionary movements.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I fucking swear if I see any of y'all getting on here and being like "Oh no, the protestors are being violent and destroying property", I'm going to call you a bitch ass loser and then block you. Property is never more important than the lives being taken by fucking pigs.

Here's a great read 👀
Capitalism Without Humans
As new technologies (not immigrants) replace human labor, "machine breaking" as a tactic of rebellion is taking on a renewed vitality.

Just threw my socialist co-op card game, Forward Together, in there! It was already free, but this way the bundle will be larger and I can maybe get more eyes on it at the same time. Solidarity forever!

The Democratic Party has a record of suppressing candidates that they feel are too progressive, just from what I have noticed - and I can’t help but feel this may be a similar situation.

Supporting you from GA!

I don't normally post about music because I have zero real experience making any, but my favorite relatively unknown composer has to be Saitama Saisyu Heiki (S.S.H.). He makes instrumental metal tracks that are basically perfect on every level in a way I can't articulate.

I was wondering about the indigenous people of Greenland during all that spectacle and rhetoric about taking it over. Here is a very good video talking about that. (BTW, we should not be taking over countries)

This is what happens when all of the people in power are just in it for the money. They can't rock the boat TOO much because it'll affect their stock portfolios. Our health, safety, and security is literally subsidizing their wealth.

taking trump seriously rn would be too damaging to a US in decline so the whole system is squirming to not look at him directly. press translating what he says to sound more sane, democrats just talking about eggs. he's too big to fail

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game

www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick. "I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day." Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.

"With a strong love of freedom, the only thing Sonic hates is oppression."
Picture of a fictional anthro hedgehog named Sonic and on the left of him is text that says "Sonic the Hedgehog: He's the world's fastest, hypersonic hedgehog! With a strong love of freedom, the only thing Sonic hates is oppression. Despite his short temper, deep down he's a really nice guy who is 100% committed to helping those in trouble whenever and wherever he can. Sonic's adventure begins just as he is returning home from a long journey..."

To the "civility" people, saying the word "fuck" is violence, but the cops shooting tear gas is "peace keeping", ripping a parent from their children is "doing their job". They want to control the definition of violence and their monopoly on the use of it.

"I also believe that we, as a society, will face a violent paradigm shift as a result of the AI bubble bursting, because it revealed how many people do not understand stuff."
edzitron.com Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · 9d
I am terrified that the end of the AI bubble will be magnitudes worse for the global economy than the dot com bubble, and for society at large. So many people have been so confidently wrong, and I'm not sure what happens when that becomes impossible to ignore.
www.wheresyoured.at/dot-com-bubble/
Depending on how right I am, I worry that the following will happen: NVIDIA will lose anywhere from 40% to 90% of its revenue in a relatively short amount of time, which will annihilate the value of the S&P 500. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta will face massive, multi-billion dollar impairments within the next few years. Oracle will face potential bankruptcy or at least a severe, horrendous series of layoffs and restructuring efforts to try and right the ship after agreeing to $248 billion in lease obligations primarily to get the revenue from its $300 billion, 5-year-long deal with OpenAI, a company that is going to run out of money in the next year. Venture capital is going to take such a severe haircut from the AI bubble that it will effectively kill any chances of raising a round after Series B for many, many years. Those $178.5 billion in data center debt deals will be predominantly underwater, leading to massive losses for private equity and banks (leading to a chill in effectively all debt markets), and massive job losses across the many, many construction projects that have started as a result of the AI bubble. If OpenAI or Anthropic can manage to go public, every investor will lose out as they collapse under the weight of their bullshit assumptions. Every partner, every company relying on them, every infrastructure provider will be burned. I also believe that we, as a society, will face a violent paradigm shift as a result of the AI bubble bursting, because it revealed how many people do not understand stuff. The amount of bosses, influencers, movie stars, politicians and other individuals of note that have fallen behind generative AI and claimed again and again that it can do things that it can’t and perpetuated myths that will lead to massive societal harms both today and in the future have revealed themselves as fucking frauds. Large Language Models are a global gaslighting experiment, where inefficient and questionably-functional software can convince you that it works because you managed to manipulate its handles with the right prompts — explaining away its failures as you go, and getting increasingly agitated with those who don’t agree with you that you’re living in the future. This piece forced me to live in the past for hours and hours and hours, and all it taught me is that people are desperate to compare this era to another as a means of explaining away the bad habits and specious ideas of a tech industry run by fucking influencers and management consultants. By comparison, the Dot Com Bubble was sensible, built on good ideas executed by greedy people rushing to do things based on ideas they didn’t understand. The AI Bubble is happening in a remarkable era of digital information and connectivity that allows us to process and analyze details at scale and with speed, and everybody who inflated this era should — and by my fucking sword will be made to — experience inextricable, permanent shame for the horrors that will follow as a result. And believe me, even if I’m half right, things will likely be so much worse than when the dot com bubble burst. I don’t see a scenario where anything survives the collapse of CoreWeave, let alone the collapse of OpenAI. I don’t see a scenario where any more than a few AI startups survive, and if that happens, there won’t be any customers for those GPUs — not that anywhere near enough existed to fill even a tiny percentile of the demand that currently exists, or for the capacity we’ve already built. On some level, I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t know how anymore. Anyway, see you next week.
