I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Dune up there with The Matrix in that people who didn't do the required reading have to have it explained to them that the message is not literally "technology is Evil" but to question who controls the technology and what they are using it for.

one thing I miss from the pre-genAI days is that there was no questioning that human nonsense was simply human nonsense. a dog piloting a plane? some silly human toiled over that in photoshop. now, when something is nonsensical, we question if it’s ai and don’t get to enjoy it the same way.
deeply sad what zionist propaganda has done to the idea of being Jewish, even just within the community. Making the world a better place, tikkun olam -- that's the whole thing. That's Judaism. All the rest is commentary.
Just got sent this cartoon from @thankyoumoon on tumblr and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cryin in the club a little right now
Oh no. Exactly what everyone who knows literally *anything* about it said would happen did in fact happen. Wow. So now all the other know nothings in other governments around the world who are planning on giving away everyone's privacy will stop and think for a single second, right? Right??
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
I feel like I’m ironing out the few issues I’ve had with Bazzite but one of the most annoying is just… an inability or inaccessibility to install Ubisoft Connect? I mean I’d use it in the way any other Steam user does as just something else that has to launch before playing Uno or Far Cry.
This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
Toy Story 5: God DAMMIT, every time they announce another one they somehow come up with a good film. If I were Disney, I'd look at Pixar, how they make movies and how they still make bank and keep letting them do their thing. Easy money. ... WHAT DO YOU *MEAN* THEY'RE LAYING THEM OFF??
I’m really glad I’ve got what feels like appropriate hardware for AAA games again. But also goddamn, in trying to be big and mainstream they are so hit-or-miss on whether they resonate with you. You gamble so much more on the entry fee to even know if you’ll like a AAA game compared to an indie.
I’m finding Immortals of Aveum interesting so far but it seems like the HDR is kinda busted? Like I get the sense the brightest areas aren’t meant to look like this? (If anyone happens to see this and knows a fix, I’ll share PC specs).

I played 3 hours of Mad Max yesterday, got a bit bored and felt I should stop in a bit, then another 3 hours passed. This game would’ve bored me so much in 2014 but idk I guess I’m of the right age and mindset now, time fucking flies by as I play.
Jamie (Amy-J) 🏳️⚧️@amy-j.bsky.social · last wk.Yakuza 0 lost me after becoming illegible for a refund lol. Mad Max right now has got its hooks into me as a real time-sink. Story I can skip, continuous upgrading, nice meaty combat, but crucially, all of it not running at a super intense speed. I can switch off and shoot the shit with friends.
I *might* do some more art tonight but focusing on self care after a really hard week. That said, shoutout to @drhotelmario.bsky.social for showing me a method that’s so much faster *and* better than the anatomy methods I was trying to follow lol
If you've got even an ounce of a soul in your body, you don't touch anything by ModRetro. It's too intrinsically linked to Palmer Luckey and his cohorts. I know the vast majority of you haven't and won't, but it's always worth a fresh reminder.
Bucket Mouse@mousebitelabs.bsky.social · last wk.The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
OK so the deal is this. I need to get a deposit down by Friday, otherwise I can't keep the sate I have set. That isn't a disaster. The deposit is $4500, and not £4500 as I previously thought, so I need to raise about £3500, taking into account Gofundme's cut.
The Sian from Atlantis@parthenoid.bsky.social · last wk.Still pushing this. I'd really like a face, if that's not a weird thing to say. gofund.me/dad64ee08

The first person to say the word "shit" on television, now angling to be the first person to have the word "cunt" in his obituary.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last wk.Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.
