For @truthout.org, I wrote about Trump stealing my 2020 presidential ballot, and what this might mean for the future of Fulton County voters, and voters everywhere.
I’ve Witnessed Trump Weaponize Georgia Ballots for Years. Then He Stole Mine.
The FBI raid of Fulton County’s election hub is just one worrisome incident in a pattern of election interference.

OG Japanese Dreamcast RE CV and its pretty red sleeve. No explanation needed for the game, but this sleeve is an absurd quality plastic that hasn't remotely cracked with age.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

The DQ HD2D Remakes are the perfect approach to 8 bit remakes and every classic JRPG deserves the same treatment.
It's #weebwednesday once again, but today it's a little different - this time, quote with your most lukewarm, tepid takes, ones that will not get anyone mad at you ever (still no weird racist shit tho)

This post doesn't even make sense. What is "the left" doing or not doing? How on earth is any of the "doomerism" self serving hype? And which part is even the doomerism?! "My employer blamed AI for firing me" is not doomerism, it's just a thing that is happening.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

1. I appreciate they are just fucking going for it with Chopper, no hesitation just main cast includes a 3d animated reindeer

2. Every shown member of Baroque Works looks way fucking better than they have any right to, especially Mr. 3, what the hell lol

Maybe it's just me, but I actually don't want better trained nazis. Like the one thing we got going for is right now is they suck at everything they do.
I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

One day when I really want to burn it all down, I might write about the affect of this certain type of intellectual who engages with AI/LLMs/whatever like this. I’ve seen it up close and in person. They all have a empty eyed, hyper focused gaze — so far up their own asses they could shit a cough.

Based on how good a heating pad feels, i bet roasting in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until a thermometer inserted into your thickest part reads 160 feels absolutely amazing

The Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes make the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters look like the worst shit ever

(I know there is like a decade between them, but given their nature I don't think it matters.)

Ive been wondering... As more developers become reliant on LLM coding, are they even going to be able to pass hiring code tests anymore? It seems like companies demanding constant LLM use are setting employees up for future hardship when they too are inevitably laid off.

I'm not sure if people actually realize just how big of a piece of shit the Kindle is. It doesn't receive anywhere near the amount of disdain it should as a device.
