We've finally reached "2+2=5."

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Two panel comic. On the first panel Sonic the Hedgehog asks Yoshi (from Super Mario series) and Kirby (from the titular series) "so... you guys can eat ANYTHING?" Both Yoshi and Kirby reply "yeah pretty much" and "it's kinda our whole thing" respectively. Sonic says "interesting..." On the second panel they are standing nearby Arby's. Sonic says to them "Oh come on, you said "anything". Yoshi and Kirby both answer with "there are limits".

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.

Changes to “Clips” As a part of this update, Share at Timestamp will become the main way to share specific moments in videos, replacing the Clips feature. The two tools are very similar and existing Clips will still be viewable. However, the ability to set an end time or include a custom description when sharing will no longer be available. We recognize that community clipping is an important way for creators to reach new audiences, and a number of third-party tools with advanced clipping features and authorized creator programs are now available to do this across different video platforms. We are focused on launching more clipping tools for creators in 2026. Video Clips is available in Studio today, allowing you to republish clips from longer videos and archived live streams (see our Help Center article for more info). Later this year, we will be rolling out Video Clips to Shorts, and launching auto-suggestions to help you identify your most “clippable” moments.

YouTube is shutting down the Clips feature and replacing it with "Share at Timestamp," as it is now available on mobile.

Later this year, they'll launch a Video Clips to Shorts and Auto-Suggestions feature to help creators share their videos' best moments.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

Loafie on the bed. He is very excited to have his picture taken

What a lil guy

This is 1000% so real. Like, I adore seeing people engaging enough to clip my content. And I just started putting out a lot more shorts so now it is more important than ever.

Streamers appreciate clippers SO much

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

Did you know that union membership is a pathway to healthcare? Our Freelancing Committee has been taking steps to make it a reality and it's one of their major goals. Until the US gets universal healthcare, you deserve coverage. Studios shouldn't be able to wiggle out of a system THEY helped create.

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

really funny to me that the democrats always have 1-3 guys on hand to make sure the democrats can put up the performance of resistance while still ultimately getting the government to pass what the combined democratic-republican party ultimately wants
