Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

This article talks about an idea I’ve hypothesized for years now, what Americans call the middle class is largely a collection of rents you pay to call yourself middle class, it functions as a trap that takes all your wealth as you struggle to stay afloat, kinda like monetary livestock.

It’s so wild that the literal president literally raped children and the times is covering it like a horse race about optics
I fail to see how he’s bowing to reality as opposed to just changing tactics.
All he has to do if it passes the senate is to tell Bondi to say it’s all either classified or has to do with an ongoing investigation.
Maybe he’s losing his grip on the MAGA zeitgeist, but he’s firmly in control of DOJ

Fuuuuck, Out of this World/Another World, too? I was a little snotnosed kid but I remember watching my dad play that on our SNES and being enraptured.
Interplay as a producer was such a huge part of my youth, even if the games I was attached to weren't part of her resume. Where's my Freespace 3

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

A reminder that for every billion dollars made on PC gaming, Newell pockets $300m.
He keeps out of the public eye better than some billionaires, but he is still a libertarian billionaire, and billionaires should not exist.

i looked at this earlier and the article is very careful not to say what actually happened but if you know history and you know this administration it is impossible not to assume programatic eugenics and anyone involved in programatic eugenics should not be allowed to see the sun ever again
“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”
