Vance's problem is that he has none of the character traits of Trump that made him appear likeable to the median low info voter. He doesn't have the same aura of intimidation because he's basically just a loser elevated into a higher position out of sheer luck

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 17m

I tend to think this works on Vance in particular because everyone hates him and he's so odious and transparent. Other members of the lie about everything brigade are a little more clever about it.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

Game & Watch Gallery 3 contains a debug mode that displays the game's graphics. However, due to an incorrectly loaded palette and using a black background, the sprites for Yoshi in the Egg game appear inadvertently unsettling when viewed in that mode.

Okay so turns out in the Toy Story Universe Andy had some form of highly advanced SNES.

From my understanding, the files Crimson Collective has gotten ahold of mainly pertain to new projects, development assets, admin files, and backups. If they end up spoiling any of Nintendo's future plans

Crimson Collective really got no idea about the legal hell that is about to come down full on their ass here especially if sensitive customer info is compromised or Nintendo's future plans get leaked

Nintendo has allegedly been breached by notorious hacker group Crimson Collective.

It's unclear how accurate this is (per article) or what the potential damage could be.

I have always loved the fact that with Toy Story 2 you can clearly tell how they likely wanted to have Rex playing on a PlayStation but they likely couldn't get the rights, so they settled on a bootleg SNES controller instead.

I feel like there's just a segment of the population, trans or cis or otherwise, who will always insist that being happy is fundamentally a character flaw that implies you are insufficiently aware of/don't care enough about the world's problems

Also I might ask why are we still having elections now with Dems significantly overperforming from last year? I don't think many have considered that trying to cancel elections completely is one thing that has a lot of potential to piss off a ton of people on both sides of the aisle.

Actually Ghostface @vantablackpharaoh.bsky.social · 19h

I've said it before and will say it again:

If they TRULY plan for there to be no more elections and are "acting like there will be no elections", WHY ARE THEY GERRYMANDERING, TRYING TO RIG VOTING MACHINES, AND RETIRING?

Donald getting a covid booster embodies one of the most enraging things I find about anti vaxxers is that they will spread lies about vaccinations before demanding to be the first in line to receive them.

abcnews.go.com/US/election-... Here is a good article on what exactly the certification process for voting machines entails. They don't just stress test the machines, the also check for any irregularities in the software and the chain of custody is tightly monitored and controlled.

Election fact check: How voting machines work and why they're hard to hack

While election officials use technology for voter registration, tallying and in some cases vote-casting, the system is largely centered around paper ballots.

Exactly this. Voting machines generally designed to be extremely difficult to tamper with and are not connected to the internet making them very difficult to hack on top of being placed under strict surveillance.

newstarcadefan (he/him/his) @newstarcadefan.bsky.social · 19h

I do agree with you, also people forget that voting machines gotta be certified by the state. For example I remember the first touch-screen voting machines that got decertified almost immediately when they fucked up in the 2004 elections that fall.

Everything we have seen from this administration makes it clear these people don't really have the organizational chops to pull off elections theft on a fully national scale. Remember here in the US everything is managed at the county level

Actually Ghostface @vantablackpharaoh.bsky.social · 20h

I know you're scared about the Dominion buyout and the gerrymanders. Here's the thing.

It's easy to flip a few thousand vote in a machine or gerrymander a little and get away with it. But it's really fucking hard to do that to a hundred thousand votes or to remove the other side totally that way. 🧵

The other obvious problem is that the optics here are far worse for Republicans between the GOP basically telling people to screw off and die with jacked healthcare premiums and Mike Johnson clearly using the shutdown to stall the release of the Epstein files

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 1d

The only meaningful line in this, imho, is the fact that GOP leadership is completely gobsmacked that dems have dug in.

They literally just expected they could say "lol no" and Schumer would give them the votes.
