Explaining turtles to an American

Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

Khajiit has wares if you have coin

I do feel like I’m losing my mind to see the entire gamut of games media, from IGN to small Aussie sites, running this kind of corporate fawning amid the Palestinian genocide. No pretty words on it here, I just find it contemptible.

That's a dead end (like all electoral solutions tbh). They're allowed to ignore election results they don't like, and they've shown they will if the party's leadership is at risk

LLM stuff is weird because all the people who hate them know how they work. In fact, virtually everyone who knows how they work hates them! But the people who love them (and aren't being paid to love them) have no idea how they work. They're fully delusional about how LLMs work and what they can do

socialists are capable of articulating a vision of the future to the public that can counter the fascists', and the liberals will fight them using every tool at their disposal — with more zeal than they'd ever have for defeating the fascists — to make sure the public cannot have that option.

When Do We Start Giving A Shit? The Microsoft boycott in extrapolation, one year later.

I've been scratching away at this for a few days. Maybe it's better if I just get it off my chest. If anything, I used to be a lot more vocal than I am now, so a reminder is likely due

I wrote about the Microsoft boycott as I've been seeing it around me. That's it 🫡💜

They pay attention to people who vote Republican, because they and their big donors would rather they try to skim GOP votes by moving further an further to the right and lose than make concessions to the left (or even the center at this point!) and win

All the Dems offer is war, cops, and paperwork

Biden had a ceasefire machine on his desk the whole time. It's called a telephone and he decided not to use it because he supports the genocide

If he wanted a ceasefire, he'd have had one. He just wanted rubes like you to think he wanted one so you could punch left with minimal cognitive dissonance

That's from a deleted scene in Casino where De Niro's character watches the movie Goodfellas in its entirety. They had to cut it because some stuffed shirt at the studio said five and a half hours was, not kidding, "too long" (his words)

I think they're assuming any Dem can win right now, so they're using the opportunity to shore up the party's hard right wing. Which worked perfectly when they successfully got Hillary Clinton elected to the presidency in 2016!

Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor

Yeah square badges are well-known for universally being chill, rational people , half of whom definitely aren't wannabe cops

Mamdani doing the charming leftish hero to palling around with war criminals heel turn in record time lol

AOC speedrun

They always know which they are of course, but it changes so often that it's impossible for most folks to know at any given moment

They're not understaffed, they're pretty well securured by folks who would be happy to see you arrested and possibly happier if they got to kill you

You really shouldn't, because that staffing shit isn't true

As long as he is a leader in the Democratic Party we should treat this as the position of all elected Democrats

the purpose of the democratic party is to redirect revolutionary energy into stupid bullshit that doesn't work

Grogu got in the trash and ate some chocolate and he died

Jazz doesn't NEED the gun, it's just that he loves violence is all

It turns out my girlfriend took this picture! So it's not the best one *I* ever took, but it *is* my favorite picture of Meatball, ever

Boots Riley (wearing the tallest hat you've ever seen): Labor is entitled to all it creates. Now check this out [wildest shit you've ever seen in your fucking life]

There were parts that made me cry because I love working people so much, but mainly an auditorium full of strangers had to hear my stupid laugh. A+, genuinely loved it front to back

I saw a preview showing of I Love Boosters tonight and it was like... I don't wanna call it "a transcendent experience" or w/e because corny bullshit, but it was FANTASTIC and I had a great time. Everyone should see it on the biggest possible screen. I am absolutely going again when it's in theaters

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

There's a really great Jamiroquai track on that soundtrack, too

It's so wacky to me that one of Rage Against The Machine's best songs
1. is on the soundtrack for the 1998 Roland Emmerich Godzilla
and
2. Specifically dismisses and criticizes the movie whose soundtrack it's on, by name, in the song

Pop culture used to be pretty different!

Anyway No Shelter rules

the strange Mormon dads who watch this show almost cranked it wrong. we had to intervene.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
