The entirety of the American press is owned by 8 billionaires who are completely down with the concept of Trumpmerica.

Lindsay is now threatening me with an embarrassing epitaph if I die fighting a goose

New Zealand continues to lose workers to Australia in the face of tightening economic conditions. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

“How do we use platforms owned by fascists?” You don’t.

As predicted, Flávio Bolsonaro did not concede. He’ll ask for the elections to be annulled due to extended polling times. The far-right’s anti-democratic processes have begun. A joke by a sore loser, especially given that his own party also asked for polls to be kept open for an extra two hours.

The people showed up in greater numbers than the ratfuckers could handle. What happened in Brazil today is awe inspiring

Absolutely incredible. I admit I’d written him off and I’m so glad to be wrong. Congratulations Brazil!

I dunno man, I’d like to get off this cycle of ‘the people trying to make things better haven’t been perfectly flawless, so we’re going to put the face eating leopards in power for a while’.

“It’s been going left, left, left and the left didn’t do anything for Brazil,” she said. “We have to put in new people.” The party of government needs to constantly deliver and communicate or we get fascism. This is not hard. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/w...

The thing is, they also blatantly ignore opinion polls when the thing that's popular would reduce the power of billionaires or AIPAC. So the DNC needs a guy like Yglesias to explain why things that poll at 90% popularity are Bad Actually, and should be ignored in favor of 55/45 issues.

ME 1 was Wrex and Liara. ME 2 was Jack and Grunt. ME 3 was … huh, I actually do not recall. I usually selected for balance though as I played an Engineer, so I always wanted meat shields and biotics.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

He's a crypto supporter and Elon Musk fan.

Yglesias shouldn't be welcome in any democracy-oriented gathering. Primarily for moral reasons. But also because he's FUCKING WRONG. Immigration ISN'T as good an issue for Trump anymore precisely because officials like Chris Van Hollen & folks like the Minnesota protesters didn't follow his advice.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I truly don't understand peoples' emotional attachment to this platform. It's a total fallacy that people "need" to be on it or that it can be made whole, relevant, and interesting again. That era is dead.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Virtually every governance problem we have boils down to repudiation of the social contract. "Why should we have universal health insurance when I'm not sick/my employer already subsidizes my insurance?" "Why should we have public education when I prefer to send my kids to private school?" etc

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Verdi; Dies Irae. So dramatic!

It's kinda sad to me how Apple Arcade was supposed to be able to facilitate non-gacha/live service/money gouging games on mobile, but it has slowly just become the place for those games with all of their progression blockers awkwardly ripped out.

He says the word "fail" like a man who still remembers what failure feels like.

I love the original Pulp version of Common People. But man, Shatner's cover has something very special going on.

They're going to kill us all to build a beach resort.

if anyone had actually given a shit about 'ethics in game journalism' the egregious examples were directly under their noses. but like all the fascist misdirection acts it inspired, gamergate was simply a premise to radicalize young men to the right by lathering outrage over a false premise

-- we now know that bobby kotick was an epstein pal! but sure, the problem was writers covering non-commercial works by diverse emerging artists simply out of deep affection for the medium and sincere desire for alternatives to that swath of corporate shit

the stupid thing was: the consumer games press DID have unethical marketing mouthpiece relationships with the industry. the e3 / spike tv / actiblizz / doritogate conglomerate and the payola-dominated masculine corporate culture had a stranglehold on what got made and how it could be discussed --

Did You Know? All our FREE games have an optional donation DLC, which adds a gold sticker to the title screen. People see that sticker and know you make good decisions. They trust you. They would die and/or kill for you. Such purpose you could put them towards! Such terrible, unassailable purpose!

Ok it is obvious that people fake engagement with bots, and that this is often done for political reasons, but the reality is that there are tens of millions of republicans in america, the number of people who would vote for Trump is even larger, and as elections show, these people really exist

lmao everyone arguing about whether avoiding ai means avoiding all AAA games. there's not going to be any AAA games

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

The Onion is the paper of record.

Democrats will never learn.

The new Assassin’s Creed is going to sell like a BILLION copies.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.
