Damn, they should have just gone ahead with it.

Anyone who gets mad about KKK being correctly portrayed as villains deserves to be miserable.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.

If Winston truly believes Chlöe is responsible for his broken window then logically it follows that he must be accepting personal responsibility for every single death threat made to Benjamin Doyle and their whanau.

Friendly reminder that every time you see a cosmetic you want in FFXIV mobile, you have to pay to get jobs beyond your first one, pay for the battle pass if you want to get it at a half decent level because xp gain is horrendously slow otherwise oh and pay to dye things.

I actually agree that MPs should feel safe in their homes*. Benjamin should feel safe in their home. They should feel like their child is safe. Hana should feel safe in her home. Winston *directly caused* AND downplayed the harm those two people faced. It's the hypocrisy for me.

So Flacco gets to play against Baltimore three times in one season?

it is imperative that we get Joe Flacco at least one start on the 2026 Steelers so he can complete the AFC North set

"We're putting the bad-at-maths hallucination machine to work in Treasury. This is fine."

CAMERON WILSON @cameronwilson.bsky.social · 1d

Scoop: OpenAI has signed its first ever Australia government contract, quietly inking a deal with Treasury amid the ChatGPT-maker's charm offensive on policymakers.

This modest contract is an ideal foothold into future, more lucrative deals, according to one firm's analysis.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I am so done with this bullshit.

NZ First mingled with a crowd who set fire to the grounds of parliament.

The Greens marched with a hīkoi that did not leave a scrap of litter on those same grounds.

Winston Peters gleefully and unapologetically made comments that inflamed the hate campaign against Benjamin Doyle, that ultimately led to their resignation from Parliament, a campaign which included threats to the life of themselves and their child. Which is, I'm sure, unrelated.

Mountain Tui @mountaintui.bsky.social · 2d

When Maipi-Clarke was attacked, Peters denied responsibility, saying he was "not responsible" for the actions of other people. But today he is laying blame on Chloe Swarbrick and the "hate filled left" #nzpol #kiwi

NZ Herald

Peters says he has no doubts Swarbrick's rhetoric on Gaza incited vandalism on home as man charged

Highlighted text about attacks on Maipi-Clarke:

Peters told Newshub that notion was wrong, adding that he was not responsible for the actions of other people
