We (the USA) not only can't lead, we probably still don't have it in us to follow. We are gnats, gnats with guns and knives.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Mark Zuckerberg is straight up way more evil than Elizabeth Holmes but because he’s got a lot of money the tech press has to go to his little events and pretend his ideas are valid instead of being like “what’s up with that dumbass shirt?” and “don’t you regularly influence elections/genocides?”

And no, there is literally no good reason to integrate any aspect of this shit-spigot tech into my workflow

"Debate" has been corrupted by codifying it into a competitive sport imo; at this point it is rarely a method for good faith actors to hit upon best solutions or refine a shared reality; it's mostly a vector for bad faith actors to keep failed and destructive ideas in perpetual zombie currency.

I remember a stoned argument years ago involving a friend who was a photojournalist describing his job as being "the unblinking eye of history" and my film studies roommate responded with something like "but it does blink, and you choose the conditions of its blinking". Stuck with me.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

i have yet to see a non-loser explain exactly why we need to throw our trans friends in the garbage to win. it sort of seems like the losers who lost are the ones saying that

Yay, Denuvo has finally been removed from the FFT remaster. Now it's eligible for my waitlist.

To John Cleese, feeling "able to move abroad" is distinct from the presumed mindset of unwelcome immigrants. Very coherent personal politics!

audiophiles are like i came as soon as i heard

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

(Repost of one of my old twitter post because i still find it interesting) this low poly skull lantern by 'obscura' showcases some serious modelling/texturing skill. it's just 40 tris!!!

It's that time of the year again. Don't donate to the Salvation Army. Donate to your local queer-supportive organizations instead. We need to make sure EVERYONE can eat every day of the week, not just people that can fit a certain societal mold.

fucking loser shit, everyone involved looks like the dumbest pissbaby on earth. who should be shoved into the locker first, the slop enthusiast thinking a machine can understand abuse, or the tech weirdos thinking it cares?

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Hi folks-- We're starting on our next indexing project, and we're building our volunteer team! If you have some degree of Japanese fluency and want to help index periodicals for VGHF, hit me up here

holy fuck this absolutely rocks so hard

More than what Frank said, I think a big reason VGHF has been able to build trust is that we've approached our collections in a way that is human and thoughtful, instead of just acting like wolves tearing at meat. If all you care about is Stuff, then you'll end up treating people's lives like Stuff

Jesse Petrilla (Islamophobe right-wing grifter) keeps showing up in retro game spaces with a How Do You Do Fellow Kids energy and trying to ingratiate himself. This should be an easy one to say no to

Honestly refreshing to see a recomp clearly stating this. Go check it out, tbh

Under capitalism homelessness not only has to exist, it has to be as miserable as possible for the people experiencing it, because it's the threat of homelessness that keeps the working class in line and desperate for jobs. Human suffering is an essential component of capitalist profit.

Remembering in 2013 when C-SPAN re-ran the State of the Union at like 1:30am, but they left the #sotu Twitter feed up with nobody monitoring it

There's a sense of progress in realizing that the tasty meal I just had for lunch used to leave me gasping for want of relief from the spice/heat less than a year ago Relatedly, I have a feature request for English: Why isn't there a word or satisfying short phrase for this? 'Spiced out' is stupid

it doesn't have to be good. it just has to be yours. "good" is for marketing suits and focus groups. if you make it you enough, you'll dip into that vibrant spark of life that animates all of us. you'll pull up a bit of that light. and then it will be great. the only way to make great is to be you.

There's a really important point in here: the term 'deportation' has become Newspeak. The correct term is "human trafficking" because what this regime is doing fits that description much more than the genteel ideas we hold about 'deportation.'

That the electorate could even contemplate such a man rather than reject him outright shames us all. That our founding laws could permit him to get in a position where the electorate could choose him shames our laws. That our institutions have not bodily removed him shames our institutions.

I will be noting it as such in Obsidian

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

Succinct

Re: Rationalists. I think someone who says that they are able to perceive a God of everlasting cruelty and that you should also perceive this God lest you be punished should be met with extreme suspicion.

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

Drives me nuts... "Republicans want to empower people to look at your kids' genitals" is 1) true and 2) a very easy to deliver attack line!

Most of what constitutes 'learning more about how to use a computer' can be done on hardware that most people would consider to be e-waste

AI's initial sales pitch was "we are providing capital with the final weapon in their war on labor" and that didn't seem to appeal to the labor side of the political spectrum, for some reason.
