As cool as a new take on Dominon Tank Police in the wake of TGitS would be, I'd much rather see someone try and tackle an adaptation of Shirow's Orion to really break people's brains.

NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o

Not the main thing here, but it’s weird how they just ignore the fact that that child and her family almost certainly integrated into local Native American society.

VDARE is named after Virginia Dare, the first white child born to English settlers at the Roanoke colony. These people are obsessed with white supremacy.

a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

The magic of art

Trump is trying to pull off a US-style version of the Tiananmen Square Massacre coverup where everyone in China who remembered what happened on June 4, 1989 knows *exactly* what they must not admit and is utterly terrified to speak the truth. I never imagined seeing such abject cowardice in the US.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

I did a PhD on aerial perspectives of landscape, with a lot of attention paid to drone warfare and the geopolitics of world picturing. Here’s an abbreviated reading list to help parse stories like the one below and understand where things are heading. 🧵1/10

The experience of being chased by a murderous kamikaze drone, a flying machine that behaves as if it were alive, is not one that humans are equipped to understand: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I fucking hate having my principles tested. No one to talk to about this, just have to argue with anyone who disagrees with the outcome I come up with.

My neighbor told me progressives keep eating centrist candidates in primaries and so I asked how much his centrist PACs are spending and he said oh just a couple dozen mil every primary so I said it sounds like he's just feeding billions to broadcast TV networks and then his daughter started crying.

seriously, they seem to be passing that particular test just fine right now

It gets an actual chuckle out of me seeing people on here say "now the TRUE test is whether the shitlibs can live up to their own words and line up behind El-Sayed!" only for Stevens, Whitmer, every prominent Michigan Dem, the DSCC, etc. to have endorsed El-Sayed before they can finish the sentence.

My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."

the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason

You cannot make mass surveillance "safe" or "good" by adding more guardrails. The only way to make Flock safe is to get rid of Flock. www.gpb.org/news/2026/08...

Analysis: More 'guardrails' needed to prevent police misuse of Flock cameras

Inappropriate use of Flock cameras by law enforcement officials have raised questions about how much surveillance is too much.

For uneducated Americans only (because almost everyone else in the world knows this already): "Inshallah" is not a Muslim phrase. Inshallah is an Arabic phrase. Christians that speak Arabic, say inshallah. "Allah" is how you say God in Arabic. "Inshallah" is how you say "God willing" in Arabic.

I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

I’ve volunteered at food pantries and you sometimes get people upset to see someone in a nice car using a food pantry and I need to completely assure you that the person with the nice car actually is in need of that food because people who aren’t in need do not pretend to need food

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.
