I really really wish media of all shades and hues would stop saying "deal" when talking about any negotiation that involves that ossified tangerine guano-pile in the white house.

It's a treaty, or an agreement, or am n-point plan. Not something out of his fucking "art of the deal" book

The text of AI is "I'm stealing shit" the subtext is "we are incredibly hindered as a species by IP laws"
Imagine instead of doing this AI garbage, we actually did the thing it's subtextually doing and working out IP schemes where we didn't jealously hoarde all our systems and art and every person making an open world game didn't have to implement ladders from scratch.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Was part of this silly neighborhood shenanigans last weekend. It was great and think it has legs.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...
ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’
The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.

Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

Cannot agree more. Been trying to explain this to people for 10 years. Most don't get it. It's when the Internet really changed.

The fact that a group of assholes managed to take 4chan, a stream of shit that seemed to be un-steerable ... I guess Scientology protests should have been a warning ?
You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.

It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

I mean yeah. There were neo Nazis outside of my building for weeks after I got doxed, my family got swatted, the pizzagate guy hired someone to go through my trash, and a couple people who had sent me death threats got caught killing someone else. And that’s a tiny slice of the last 10 years.
if anybody knows how much utterly nightmarish shit some assholes who “just have horrible opinions” can put you through it’s Zoë
God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

@giantsquidstudios.com enjoyed my playthrough of Sword of the Sea.

The dolphin almost made me quit because it was ridiculous. But shark was ok.

I think it's all that bouncing around like a stranded fish that almost got me.

Good work overall ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.

it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.
Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

He cried on camera while reporting about starving children in Gaza.
For this transgression Israel murdered him.

That much of American media still can’t muster the word genocide - even while watching hundreds in our profession be targeted and slaughtered for *doing journalism* …
Israel just killed beloved Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif in a targeted air strike.

In the last day we've seen:

➡️ a J6 rioter, since hired by DOJ, on video calling for killing police
➡️ an FBI leader fired for protecting J6 investigators like me
➡️ the FBI hunting down TX legislators trying to stop gerrymandering

This is the five-alarm fire I've warned about.

I’ve seen estimate of 100,000-300,000 people in today’s march. A sobering thought: these are also the conservative (100k) realistic (300k) estimates of people israel massacred in Gaza.
It is massive. Thanks to Peter Deppeler on Twitter for the footage. #GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity
