Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

weird how everyone full throatedly embracing ai seems to be a huge piece of shit

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Republicans are going all in on AI-generated ads. Democrats, meanwhile, are shunning them and suggesting the ad campaigns are emblematic of a party that doesn’t care about the truth and can’t be trusted.

genuinely evil behavior from vivek ramaswamy, and most of the state will still vote for him. how do you even handle a country filled with so many morally and spiritually bankrupt individuals

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

I'm sure it's good that over the past several days I have seen multiple vibecoding people say their individual versions of "yeah this is like playing a slot machine for me and I find it hard to stop and I love that actually"

Not being content to fuck up video games, the same AI assholes are now trying to make fun little youtube videos that are now being algo-pushed at me because I like video games. Fuck you all forever. Eat shit.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Second time on camera in two days. It low-key feels like every time this happens with him, he gets one step closer to the edge... ... and (hopefully) he's about to break.

If you're mad about this (AND YOU SHOULD BE) - I know indies can't be expected to save the game industry. But goddammit some help would be great. Go to Steam or wherever - find a game (NOT MADE WITH ANY AI) that you think is fun and unique - TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT. Boost signals!

When the dust settles, we are looking at a western gaming industry that is either nonexistent or significantly altered. Japan’s laws have ensured that the major publishers keep their legacy talent, and those older devs have trained the new guard. Western publishers have zero respect for talent.

This is in reference to the games industry, but also currently applies to the actual entirety of american society.

What about for people who are so mentally broken that they can’t even do their silly little ideas anymore?

NOTHING MATTERS 🪰@nothingmattersug.bsky.social

Is there a mental health support group for devs who have seen their entire industry crumble into ashes and are still kinda there, doing their silly little ideas?

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

I hate to say it, but I 100% agree with him.
