Honestly this feels more like suicide of the DSA's credibility and power building more than it's any kind of damage to Nithya at this point. For one thing, a lot of LA voters have already voted
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.
The DSA has a chance to claim victory here and build on the momentum of Mamdani, even though I'm not clear how useful they actually have been for Nithya, and instead they are throwing away that chance. Seems dumb to me!
A bottom up, local-based non hierarchical small-democratic organization unless a majority of an obscure 25 person national board doesn't like it and throws the decision out

Example: to gamble in CA you *must* have information XYZ about an end-user. to do so in NY you are *prohibited* from retaining that. so you need legally separate entities, so you need physically seperate information storage, you need two seperate legal teams (who must be in CA/NY, of course)

"being anti-AI is ablest" is the kind of argument that does not require trying to explain why it's wrong, it's ok to just say "no it isn't and also fuck you"
I'm sure a few of them are stupid enough to think "AI will make them" but there has to be a good amount of people with enough of a working brain to understand that isn't going to work
my daughter gets so excited to get candy, just like any kid. and it pisses me off that she's getting worse candy than I did at her age. just feels like another way she's being taught to expect less from the world
the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epsteinβs sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
So far Control Resonant is the best gameplay Remedy has had in a couple decades while possibly its least interesting writing. They just can't seem to do both since Max Payne 2, their only perfect game
Writing isn't bad for sure. But it's missing that deep weirdo spark that keeps me playing all of their games despite not liking most of them that much as games
Brazilβs results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second βare you you sure about thatβ election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff
if you aren't cool with trans people I'm not gonna brake when I see you crossing the street. bare minimum position on this particular matter by the way
NATHAN FIELDER: So now that youβve seen it, can you tell me what was funny about that bit?
ELIZABETH HOLMES: *smiling like the Smile Demon from the Smile horror movie series* The guy took a really long time to describe what his familyβs act was
We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.
Night Vale has always been a 100% independent podcast, while most independent podcasts at a similar level have sold to large companies. Being independent has protected us from a lot of the up and down of the industry, but it's also, to be clear, incredibly fucking hard work and annoying
βYou can just start your own studio!β Brother I do not WANT to own a business. I donβt want to be anybodyβs boss. I want to write, which is the thing iβm good at!!!
Especially because every writer is expected to be a social media star, publishers will bring you marketing plans that consist of "you become viral at posting". So I have 3 jobs, 1. run a company 2. have a large social media presence and then 3. oh yeah if you have some time in there I guess write
and I'm doing job 2 wrong because these days you're supposed to have a big video presence somewhere, they no longer care about text or even image posting

Being independent means having to think about a million things that a) are boring but important b) I am not good at because business is not my thing. And then trying to find time to write between all the business stuff. It sucks. I do it because the alternative seems worse but it sucks
It's very funny when you're arguing with someone about something they got fundamentally wrong and you can tell they desperately read the wiki page about three replies in
I understand the freakout here but honestly this one reads as a sign of weakness to me
a) peltola is going to win by more than the second dan sullivan's margin
b) this argument is pathetic, and if their strategy is 'throw pathetic shit at the wall and hope something sticks' I'm less worried

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
First look at Dwayne Johnson as the Chicken Man in Benny Safdie's βLIZARD MUSICβ.
The film follows a young boy who finds a secret late-night broadcast of lizards playing otherworldly music that opens a hidden door to the whimsical Chicken Man.
