And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

While not nearly the most important thing going on, I wrote some jokes about why this year AI in video games is going to be the absolute most annoying debate. Even more annoying than it already is. Just deeply annoying.

I've decided to stop calling it "Twitter." Used to do that as an insult to Musk, a denial of his reality. But Twitter is dead and buried forever. It's just X, the Nazi site for Nazis, and that's all it will ever be. Get the fuck off.

I know it’s probably deeply annoying to see Americans go “holy shit, the nakedness of this” after our history of indigenous genocide and global regime change, but what is especially scary about this is that the more recent bullshit alibis at least took some time to drum up and put into place.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

The end goal from Amazon is to prevent us having our own stores AT ALL, then they can start screwing us on costs the way they already do with marketplace sellers.
I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

On the heels of the failure of big money pushes for NFTs, crypto, wearables, and the metaverse, it is absurd to hold the position of "AI is inevitable and we must learn to live with it."

It's also a craven position that suggests we shouldn't fight for what we value. We decide our own fates.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

I do believe that people can change and maybe even that there are second acts in American lives but maybe if you’ve ever had a Nazi tattoo then being in the most powerful legislative body in the country is not the right career path. And you should definitely not still have said tattoo while running.

he's not "predicting" it, he's expressing his selfish vision of nobody doing anything he doesn't want (not that we should care what any of these comemierdas predict anyway, but since some people do, sub-heads should be clear). Also who's going to monitor all this surveillance? #Infomocracy

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

As a general rule of life, never say to any author “I wouldn’t expect a [genre] author to know anything about [topic.]”

You will, without fail, discover that a statistically improbably number of people in that genre grew up there/did their thesis on it/have one in their lap.
My fellow men (and sadly, yes, it's mostly men who do this), don't do this.
