I would not say “the cool thing is you dont need to be an expert” if my job was, essentially, to be an expert

Please stand by for more.

Stop acting like Joe Rogan has seen the light because he levies some mild criticisms towards Trump. Given the chance, Rogan will always enthusiastically fellate those in power.

I was looking forward to Pragmata, after replaying the demo after seeing Gita and Ash talk about the robot I can’t unsee the design issues. THEY MADE A TWITCH EMOTE SOME WEIRDO SHIT! Like it’s not an unfounded discussion to have and hand waving off such stuff as weirdos are gonna weirdo doesn’t help

Ash and Gita’s talks about this game are not only valid, but necessary in this space. Like I know there’s a lot more to than this but anytime a woman specifically a black woman speaks an opinion on this platform way too many people get comfortable hand waving them off as crazy or some shit

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.

That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.

(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

Reese Witherspoon? The NFT evangelist?

If it wasn’t for the Andrew Schultz of it all in the movie I would be day one for this

There is the best taco place like 20 minutes from me and good lord do their carnitas rock

i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

this is a microcosm of the world as conservatives want it, where “merit” means an unrestricted good ol’ boys club

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

Lmao this is genuinely a pathetic outcome when I first hear this story I though he maybe pulled some Oklahoma era Baker Mayfield stunt or something he’s just celebrating? This is totally tame by comparison of literally every sports celebration I have seen or been apart of personally wild

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

Wut

US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of ⁠Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had ⁠paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon Rights groups fear tactic of ‘domicide’ trialled in Gaza, where entire areas are made uninhabitable, is being used again

This has nothing to do with Hezbollah.

They are just another excuse for yet another Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign.

My GotY last year. Still think of it to this day and I’m thinking of doing a playthrough again soon. Incredible game with so much heard and alot of parts that just mesh together in a way that only really works once you play it

Kind of a major problem that the leaders of the opposition party are basically in favor of the war with Iran and find it very convenient that they don't have to do any of the bag holding

how much money does the marine corps lose

Setting aside all other questions about impeachment, the idea that trying it against a president everybody hates would be a political *loser* for the opposition party is preposterous. Just say you don't want to work! It's more relatable

my favorite(?) recurring trope is when someone describes the logical, problem-solving, non-ideological party they wish existed and it’s just the ineffectual version of democrats that we already have

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is.

Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.

vance is so personally off putting that even foreign electorates want nothing to do with him
