I mean... same

NYT headline reads: "Trump’s Signature to Be Added to U.S. Dollars President Trump is set to be the first sitting president to have his signature appear on America’s currency."

The year is 2030. I now own a home in every walkable US neighborhood, which I've paid for by selling rubber stamps that say "refused to release the Epstein files"

I hate this version of the United States so much.

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

I had a wild day and I've been quiet because it's been a bit overwhelming! We hit our goal and then some! There's still lots of time to help us get to our last stretch goal for our Trophy Anthology, featuring @premeemohamed.com and @quinnblackwell.bsky.social :D

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

I am shaking with anger.

This fucking administration is evil to the core.

Join your neighbors and find ways to fight back. You are called. You cannot stand by in silence or inaction.

Never a bad time to show some support.

This is very close to how most PbtA and Forged in the Dark games handle things. Apocalypse World didn't call them lore blocks but the threat structure is very similar. If you want to see an iteration of the AW threat, check out the factions in Blades in the Dark. Looks similar to me!

I dunno when or if Kalum is going to do anything with it, but I wrote a Scenario for the cosy Cadfael-em-up Rosewood Abbey directly inspired by Ken Russel's The Devils.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Sorry (and I know this is the point but) what the fuck is left of sociology then

A good piece, but an additional aspect is nearly everything we do exploits resources in ways we need to avoid. Which is to say the entire foundation / thrust of our technologies is often deeply flawed and does not consider ecosystems, biodiversity, etc in other than an exploitive or Disneyfied way.

Its like the Terminator if everyone just *pretended* Skynet was real

The fact that screen writers can fairly easily characterize techbros as sociopaths with a fetish for teens, and reality just keeps saying, "Oh, yeah? Well what if I was much dumber?! Would you like that?!" is why I exercise more than I ever thought I would.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

But… but… look at all it’s accomplished!!!

A world we could have only dreamed of before AI!

I mean… so many… uh… I use it for… well…

It’s. Um. Hmm…

There are so many more buttons and prompts to use AI now!

Always look at the words they use. It's always a narrative about being left behind, never a value proposition. That's because there isn't one. LLMs are Clippy crossed with predictive text: two things you traditionally switch off if you want to get any actual work done.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

It's kinda annoying how solar panels were hung around the neck of the left as impractical pie in the sky treehugger shit *right* up until it started outcompeting every other energy source. Then suddenly, instead of going "hey the left was correct about solar" it's no longer a "left" idea!

Senate Democrats Understand The Assignment: Empowering Creators In The Fight For Democracy Senate Democrats gathered digital creators together in Washington recently to issue an urgent call to arms

Donald Trump is constantly weaponizing his influence to transform the media landscape to suppress Democratic voices. In response, Senate Democrats convened their first Digital Creators Summit to deploy independent digital media and creators on the front lines in the fight to protect our democracy.

“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

I’m not afraid of genAI taking my job, but I am afraid of the average American becoming crazy enough to steal Doctor Dinosaur’s whole vibe

I don't think "invading a country, kidnapping its President, then stealing its oil" is what I would call "diplomacy."

But perhaps I'm not a political science expert like some folks.

Chinggis Khan dies from complications from falling off a horse! This is the problem with going 'arf arf, what is Aragorn's tax policy'....real life is often either a) dramatically unsatisfying or b) so dramatically neat as to feel contrived.
