What a bizarre article. The premise is about Americans moving to Europe to flee Trumpism, but nearly everyone quoted moved there before Trump was elected.

love that the core conservative principle these days is “people shouldn’t be allowed to dislike me without consequences”

My own two cents on spotting genAI crap within retro game modding/hacking & homebrew communities: One of the easiest telltale signs of something being vibecoded is if the "project"/"mod"/"hack" in question uses a particular faux "pixel font" with zero variation:

unfortunately we have the ‘biological males’ framing here in the rest of the clip so I am going to have to rescind my ‘see how easy it is, red state dems’ this sucks! do better!

"oh but Ernest, don't you get that the heckin republicans are worse?" you libs have already signaled that democrats can do all the republican things they want and none of it will be a dealbreaker for you. so why do you care? there's a reason why people don't believe you when you say that!

4 years hopefully. Longer if we dont get a competent leader or if the BC NDP voters go to the greens. Generational fumble from Eby but this is what happens when you rat fuck the leadership content and shift towards the centre right. Whats the lesson? Dont abandon your principles.

Most of this fat yellow wedge of 19 million people are not terminally online pro Palestinian leftists. They're average people who've been struggling for the last decade, left behind by two blue presidents' economic recoveries, disgusted with being gaslit by their own party that EVERYTHING'S GREAT!

Matt Johnson (not that one) (or that one) (or reposted

It feels like there's a coordinated liberal mouthpiece push to re-up blaming a tiny # of principled progressives who refused to vote for Harris, & ignore the much larger group of non-progressive non-terminally-online regular blue voters who walked away from 4MoreYears of an intolerable status quo

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

The idea of the AI developer as someone burgeoning with wonderful, never before seen ideas who just needed the tools to realize them is by and large a fantasy. The reality of the AI developer is someone producing spam at volume who has no ideas of their own, so just clone something popular.

Matt Johnson (not that one) (or that one) (or reposted

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

People like Matt Yglesias treat the militarized border as an unchangeable reality and an automatic political loser when in reality it is an incredibly recent lurch to the right whose consequences are now in full view of the citizenry.

wow this person sure did a lot of porting work all by themselves AND completely flattened the git history down to one commit, which lists only themselves, twice. how not suspicious at all

capcom taking down ultimateframedata is a terrible and self-destructive move. it was a community resource used by people who played and loved the game. i can only hope that this will not go further and that FAT and Supercombo are safe.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

I've said it before and I'll say it again, none of your problems are because of immigrants. You're paid less because of capitalists. You can't get housing because of capitalists.

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

You don't have to do this, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. It's a choice. They want to defund you. They think you're a propaganda arm of an evil government. You will never win them over by showing them grace when they show absolutely none towards you.

Alberta separatist leader Mitch Sylvestre starts railing against the “new world order and globalism” on CBC News Network’s live broadcast just now

Matt Johnson (not that one) (or that one) (or reposted

Most of the coverage tonight has been a relitigation of Alberta’s grievances. Talking to separatists whining about Trudeau, panelists whining about Trudeau…and nobody ever really trying to introduce facts to their feelings. Pathetic.

The Problem With Apu was a pretty balanced and nuanced (and honestly tame) look at how cultural representation in television can leave an impact on people’s lives and what to do about it, so of course it’s still characterized by angry people online as a whiny temper tantrum from the PC police

I would argue you are also a single-issue voter (defeat Trump), and I think that's fine - just don't shame other people because you think their single-issue (ending a genocide their government is complicit in) is less important than yours. Frankly, it makes you look like an ignorant jagoff.

The dumbest people will see who the democratic nominee is in 2028 and choose to not vote for that person over a single issue even after this fucking clown show we dealing with right now
