Equal parts progressive politics, explicit nerdity, and reckless shitposting.

So, I watched the first part of Elon's little historically accurate AI Odyssey film. It really doesn't deserve your bandwidth, and there is no good in encouraging him. But curiosity overcame me, and someone has to watch it. ...

So, Nancy Lacore can eat shit.

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it seems to shock the New Zealand government that Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, and the Conchords etc all emerged from the same city in the same span, which coincidentally is when Wellington rent was dirt-cheap and there were heaps of empty industrial buildings around

People don't realize how necessary cheap rent is to the arts.

You should not vote for fascism because fascism is evil. But also, you should not vote for fascism because fascism is stupid.

I'm not ideologically aligned with a dictatorship of the proletariat or a Butlerian jihad, but if people start burning cars and busting out the fancy cheese slicers, I've already picked a side.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

The fascist monopolization of US media, intent on ending what's left of democracy on behalf of billionaire mobsters, was finalized by a Democratic-appointed SCOTUS justice.

Eli Valley@elivalley.bsky.social

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

I'm so tired of active UIs. If I click on something, I want there to be approximately a 0% chance of that click being applied to something else. There should be no lag just clicking on one thing.

Sony argued that "reasonable consumers" already know they don't really own the digital goods they paid for. The Consumer Rights wiki has now made a list collecting more than 30 examples where Sony told customers they do, in fact, own the digital games they paid for. https://bit.ly/4gNi4Ls
