Trump’s first-term foreign policy was riddled with one failure after another. Almost everything he attempted either fizzled out or blew up in his face. Don’t let this garbage revisionism stand.

Hello! We're still working things out on a logistical level, but at the bare minimum, we'll be shipping a DRM-free PDF so you should be able to use it on most readers.

I just double-checked our backend, and we don't have any limits set on downloads.

How many times a customer can download purchased files for each order. Enter 0 for unlimited.

I need people on gaming podcasts to stop forcing themselves to play and talk about Silksong.

I get they want to get in on this cultural moment and/or clicks, but I want to hear what sickos think about this game not want people who bounced off of Hollow Knight think of it when I tune in.

"41% showing up with a partner, spouse, girlfriend AND boyfriend" - wow, didn't know Tatum had THAT many polyamorous fans but good for them managing to have all four lol

The movie gets a B+. The Tatum female followers who were over 25 did show some at 38%, but overall demo was guys at 53%. It’s a small-scale date movie in regards to the grosses and 41% showing up with a partner, spouse, girlfriend and boyfriend. Diversity demos were 55% Caucasian, 20% Latino and Hispanic, 10% Black, 7% Asian American and 8% Native American. Some PLFs, with play in the East, South and Midwest. AMC Burbank was the pic’s top grossing location with close to $12K so far.

Shocking new footage proves that they resumed the football game that Bane blew up after he made his big speech. This is from the second quarter.

Love the "excuse our mess, we're still open!" backdrop for the FG

Mizzou lining up a FG, the backdrop is an under construction section of the entire end of the stadium including orange hurricane fencing and a bare concrete wall

Just had a friend bring up that all of the tech opportunities in LA are connected to the slop machine.

Tech’s obvs never going to go away as a professional sector, but it’s obvious that the boom is over and they’re trying to prolong it with AI gimmicks.

As many of you know, I work in tech for my day job.

All I can say is that I've seen so many folks in that field (via dev conferences, mostly), who are so cooked, so completely reliant on the slop generators that shit's going to get weird when everything starts tumbling down.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

You know, it's super amazing to be a small business launching a physical prduct in an environment where one orange asswipe can suddenly tweet out "I'm jerkin off on main, 100% tariffs so I can climax" and you have to scramble to see if your costs are going to increase as a result of that.
