Good lord AI needs to fuck off in every generative form. It will never be as good as what a person can make. Use it for shit like finding cancer and frame gen and dlss. Shit it’s actually good at, and leave creativity to humans. Also it’s theft in that form so fuck it

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Oh, hey! I'm *writing* again!

Let's talk about a man named named Ramza Beoulve. Let's talk about the "ease at which men are branded heretics..."

Let's talk about revolution.

www.eurogamer.net/the-revoluti...

The revolutionary politics of Final Fantasy Tactics, and why Ramza Beoulve is a hero for our times

Final Fantasy Tactics' original writer-director Yasumi Matsuno signalled the timeliness of this remake for a reason: its hero offers a model of resistance.

When history looks back on this fascist regime and its attempted coup of America you will be remembered as complicit propaganda for your horse shit manipulation of your titles and your blaming the party trying to save us rather than the party trying to coup. Get fucked

Positively jolly chatting with @islahinck.bsky.social for this month's interview on my Substack. Since she is "skilled at grief," she has a lot to share about turning pain into art, and finding the right salve for each person's hurt. horriblethings.substack.com/p/interview-...

I mean cox is a known liar, and the fact that this killer is a typical Utah Mormon Republican just like cox makes him look bad. And it should make him look and feel bad. Because he is bad

Demons don't play fair so why should you. Take advantage and kick the enemy while it's down🔥

Introducing The Spectre 🖤

In our unholy roguelite Malys, The Spectre turns the dark against your foes, exposing their vulnerabilities 🕯️

Screenshot of The Spectre card in Malys. A man stands with his eyes closed, above him a dark and ephemeral skeletal entity hangs protectively. Text reads: The Spectre. Whenever a demon or minion takes 3 or more damage from Silvered, applies 1 Vulnerable to them at the start of your next turn. Consume. Card can be played once per exorcism. It will not be sent to the discard pile or be redrawn.

Ezra Klein can conclude that Kirk was “practicing politics the right way” only because, as we see here, he still fundamentally misapprehends the MAGA project.

MAGA explicitly DOES see this as a war, not an argument. Its entire aim is to STOP the continued possibility of American politics.

Text from Ezra Klein New York Times opinion piece: Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.

We don’t even know who fucking did it.

A series of screenshots of tweets where (presumably) conservatives are declaring war on “the left” and requesting that Democratic politicians be jailed regarding the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
