I’ve been worried about this. People who signed up for a US ‘self-deportation’ scheme say their payoffs were delayed, misdirected or never arrived – leaving them empty-handed in their home countries.

More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

Tbh I think people should start thinking about this stuff in terms of “organizing for impact & effectiveness.” I don’t think the Hogwarts Legacy backlash was effective — the game sold extremely well, unleashed a RW hold on VTubing — but that probably could have been avoided with better planning
Harder to convince people to stop using Fortnite over this because of what Fortnite is. It’s no longer just a funny battle royale clone of PUBG, it’s more akin to a platform like VRChat or Bluesky. Kinda in the same way I wouldn’t tell people to stop using Discord if they did a Hogwarts Legacy promo

I truly believe this country would be in much better shape if the general public had this “we must destroy them” attitude about CEOs of companies that do wage theft and mass layoffs-offs instead of consenting adults who got caught violating a corporate fraternization policy.

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.
