we have modeled every bolt and panel line and wiring harness on the F-104 in exacting realistic detail. now go fly a mission to stop the princess from taking control of the space elevator with her fleet of drones powered by the neural mappings of a depressed elderly man.

video games about a specific creator/team's obsessive hyperfocus (planes, here) mixed with buckets of bonkers storytelling nonsense is basically the greatest thing in the entire world

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

I occasionally feel the call to return to academic writing, a confession one should treat as basically on par with “I’m thinking of taking up autoerotic asphyxiation with strangers” But I’ve had this article on animation and horror kicking around in my head for a while now…

When will the people who argued in April 2025 that Democrats should stay silent on immigration own up to being frankly just disastrously wrong about the politics of mass deportations? Their punditry basically bordered on enablement

Florida GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar to Trump: "Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far ... The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today"

NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE 9yrs, 9 months, I was burned out and almost dead. It made it hard to do my yearly roundup. Let's talk about 2017 was one of the most important years of my life, and how these games shaped me as an artist. ...if I can remember them all. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-...

i completed 52 games and 8 pieces of downloadable content in 2017.

In March 2018, I ended up in the ER. I had been working far, far too much and too hard and it turns out I had a congenital heart defect…

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

This is much worse than Talarico etc, and not just because of the tone. This isn’t a bad answer to an interview question. This is an ad she went out of her way to make and release. That is another level of contempt and malice.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 5d ago

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

according to politico, since Jan. 2025, Trump admin has deported 170+ people “in violation of court orders,” “in defiance of legally mandated due process protections,” or “to countries from which they had sought or received protection from torture and persecution” ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

The Trump Justice Department Is Way Too Comfortable Violating Court Orders

Judges have tools for responding to noncompliance. They just have to use them.

My read is that there aren’t five votes to let Trump literally rig elections. Roberts and Barrett won’t greenlight overt election subversion or chaotic, illegal interference with voting. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch aren’t reliable but don’t love the chaos either. Thomas and Alito want to end democracy.

In upside-down world, Justice Alito blames "the plaintiff States and the courts" for causing the late timing of USPS' attempt to interfere in mail voting by suing to stop it. Unmentioned by Alito: USPS issued the rule in violation of an injunction. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Second, the plaintiff States and the courts bear a substantial share of the blame for the rule’s timing. In April, the plaintiff States sued to challenge the President’s internal directive to subordinates mandating a rulemaking. For months, this litigation cast a cloud over the Government’s ability to issue a final rule. The District Court entered several injunctions months later prohibiting the Government from undertaking that rulemaking. Not only was the Government subject to months of premature litigation and a series of injunctions that this Court later determined were likely issued without jurisdiction, the Government had to wait nearly another full month for this Court to issue its decision so holding. Indeed, this Court spent from late July to the end of August drafting nearly 40 pages of opinions, including two dissents, despite the Government’s public notice that it would not publish a final rule while subject to the injunctions, see 91 Fed. Reg. 44880, and its representation that it had a strong interest in issuing its rule in early- to mid-August to allow time to implement it. The plaintiff States cannot claim the timing of the rule tilts the equities
