When I interviewed Hasan Piker at the end of June, I asked him about the possibility that he could become a liability for Abdul El-Sayed in the general election. Here's what he had to say:

Third Way announced a $15 million effort to discredit DSA earlier this month and now every centrist/AIPAC Democrat is lining up to condemn Hasan Piker and punch left. Not like these people need a push to say what they’re saying but it feels like quite the coincidental timing!

Democratic Party centrists’ well-funded and single-minded war on socialists is leading them to take increasingly contorted, absurd positions against figures like leftist streamer Hasan Piker.

Multiple senators in the Democratic Party putting out coordinated anti-Hasan statements as scheduled instead of mourning Dolly Parton like their base is doing is actually very revealing because it proves how out-of-touch the pro-Israel cult really is with their own party's voters

Having an astoundingly stupid opinion on any topic will get you attention. Saying we can’t bully AI because AI will personally punish us for it is phenomenally dumb.

Hey @wnba.com the best time to ban Enes Kanter Freedom from all your arenas is right now today. He put players at risk and his little stunt will embolden others to act in a similar manner. Are we going to wait for a player to be attacked on the court to take action?

Hey so there are rapists butchering wild horses, overcharging for contaminated groceries, and sending masked killers to hunt citizens. Those are real issues for when you guys are done crucifying that Twitch streamer you don’t like. Just throwing that out there for our so called leadership.

Hasan Piker said something that’s not really controversial at all: Zionists who have repeatedly conflated Israel with Judaism/Jewishness are putting Jews in danger. The usual Democratic suspects are spinning this as a call for violence against Jews. So tired of their bad faith bullshit.

I’ll allow myself a mini-crashout, since I’m still a bit high from anaesthesia So every AAA game is Duke Nukem Forever now, right? Like, why can’t a multi-bajillion dollar company make “a” Prince of Persia? You guys used to crank out one of these a year 20 years ago

DOOM '98 Imagined what if id Software released an additional entry in the Doom series in 1998, using a technological mix between id Tech 2 and GoldSrc engine. Going for the blend of fantastical and grounded, which would be in vein of Half-Life and System Shock 2.

While waiting for the 5th animated season I’ve started rewatching the Vecna arc of Critical Role’s original campaign starting at episode 100…roughly where season 4 left off. Vecna beat the ever living shit out of Vox Machina in that first battle. 🫣

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

Sophie Cunningham scored 0 points in 15 minutes for the Fever tonight. Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.

Being anti AI isn’t radical, would you drill holes in your boat for shitty photos and faster spreadsheets? You’re killing the only thing that can sustain your life — the fuckin planet!

FOR CONTEXT in the book it was used in one image by one artist, obviously not every piece made for the movie makes the book, but it being the only one is telling that it was probably just This Guy and not a widespread thing still sucks tho!! hit that guy with hammers.

All of the LLMs stole from me. Most of the big "A.i." billionaires are horrifying right wingers. Consumer-facing generative "A.i." "writing" and "art" tools deskill people, cheat kids out of real education, spread falsehoods and disinfo, and violate privacy. So no, I ain't using that shit.
