Rep. Jim McGovern (D‑MA) says it to their face: “I love you, Republicans. I mean, you control the House, you control the Senate, you control the White House, you control the Supreme Court, and you don’t take responsibility for anything. But when you want to cut medicaid, you get it done in a snap.”
Melissa Nadia Viviana 🐸@resistrebelrevolt.net · 7d agoRepublicans: Always wanting power - never taking responsibility. Their entire platform is perpetuating problems, while shifting the blame to a third party. And they'll do it over and over - until voters see through it.
As you watch ICE shoot people with no consequences do you have any doubt Trump will send them to the voting locations to intimidate voters?! That is why Democratic AG's need to be ready in advance to protect people in their states and immediately arrest ICE agents who interfere with elections!

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind
Honestly I think like 50% of the Teams 101 course is just me saying this in 30 different ways with 15 different methods of making sure everybody on your team understands that decisions are made to be executed on, not argued about further, that's the whole-ass point of it being a decision.

Blanket response to replies from cis people telling me Dem politicians actually support trans people
Stella Sacco@antlervel.vet · 6d agoI would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights
Did Sony cancel Physint because they only want Digint games now?

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

Fox News is now defending CNN, which is obviously the smart thing to do. Even they realize the tides always turn. They said, “Don’t ban them. Or one day, they’ll ban us.” The MAGA movement is really falling apart.
OBAMA: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the WH press corps. You’re laughing but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated a behavior like that from me.” https://www.reddit.com/r/antitrump/s/prMwdSwSqY

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.
Oh shit! I didn't even know about this at all. Guess I finally have a reason to play the original Deus Ex

Production 101 of the video courses exists because too many times indie studios know how to build a game, but not how to ship a commercial game. Production is a large part of what publishers evaluate, and the skill you need to ship. Available now for teams & freelancers both: courses.ramiismail.com
I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you
