Steam letting me access games that are age restricted for frequent violence or gore with a simple "enter your date of birth" question while requiring proof of ID for games with "some nudity or sexual content" is real Zardoz shit.

HHS is canceling infant mortality and postpartum grants to focus instead on research related to what the department says are “root causes” like sperm counts and erectile dysfunction. https://www.notus.org/health-science/hhs-cancels-infant-mortality-postpartum-grants-focus-infertility

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

"This really feels like the ultimate admission that we, as hosts of AI infra, can't afford our own AI products. And if that's even partially the case, how could the companies we sell it to manage?”

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

"I want one billion players a day" is like what your toddler says when you ask how many pieces of chocolate they would like.

I think it’s so awesome how many people developed a disease where they think that giving someone 20 dollars means you are now their indentured servant. They think they’re shark tank & making a big investment and not someone who bought a toy that said “work in progress” and already played with it.

"Jännä", miten mökki tai huvijahti ei oo rikkaalla "ylimääräistä", mut jos köyhällä on lemmikki tai kävi pitsalla, niin se on turhaa luksusta.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this corruption.

I get so angry seeing people holding lav mics in their hand, or even like some dji/rode little wireless pack. unless you are using it to interview someone, then clip it on your clothing. i know it's boomer energy, but jeez, yall look like dorks.
