@felixsalmon.com @emilypeck.bsky.social @espiers.bsky.social Hi. Back on the apps because what is international reporting? Anyway, speaking of retail: why does Uniqlo rock and how do they do that cash out thing? I feel like I’m in the future.

Not in love with the fact that I’m only back on here because it’s the most semi-reliable way to get real time news.

Friendly reminder that Rubio, Hegseth, Bondi and Miller are not immune. Might be a good time to talk about limitations on the pardon power — at least force the question and keep the conversation up.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

The Bellicose Stance of the State
The incoming "America First" coalition is likely to put the United States in greater, not less, risk of conflict.

Absolutely zero love lost for me with Maduro. But these strikes are lawless and illegitimate.

I wrote for @msnbc.com about what the engravings on the shell casings of Kirk’s shooter represent and where the references originated. Given what we know so far, they suggest a young man who had his brain fried by the irony poisoned, anti-social nature of certain aspects of online culture. /1

I know there are far more serious things to discuss, but I’m cleaning out clothes and said I would get rid of a particular shirt because “it’s seen some shit.” My husband said I might want to keep it as a shirt I do shit in and emphasized it such that I thought had shirts just for the pooping.

Not All Victims Should Be Martyrs
Charlie Kirk believed in advancing right-wing political goals and attacking left-wing opponents by any and all means necessary—including political violence.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Game studies and meme studies have become the two key disciplines to understand our present situation
This story is a year old and very important. As someone who knows jack shit about right wing references and ideology but knows plenty about gaming culture, Helldivers was specifically attracting fascist freaks even though the devs went to great lengths to explain the concept of satire.
For some Helldivers 2 players, the fascist role-play has gone too far

You might think I am rash when I say no one who plays video games for more than a few hours a week should be allowed to buy a gun. But the reality is, I don't think anyone should be allowed to buy a gun.
