Democrats. The "lesser evil" you excuse today never washes off of your brand. The genocide, the transphobia. That's you now. We begged you not to do it. You did it anyway. Whether you win or lose, regardless of how evil the GOP is, it's on your permanent record. And you did it 100% to yourself.

We're heading to a place where rich people get access to real surgeon surgery and everyone else gets AI robot surgery.
Thinking back on the whole "Elizabeth Warren doesn't owe you anything!" thing from the 2016 election. And all the Clinton fans celebrating killing off all hopes for Medicare For All. 2016 really was the year of slipped masks for the DNC.
Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.
Rachel Reid, who wrote the popular “Heated Rivalry” novel, has donated $300k to Annapolis Valley Regional Library, “one of the most significant private gifts” in their history. “I credit my local library for being a huge part of the reason I’m a published author today,” Reid said #Halifax #HaliSky
The media can't claim to give a fuck about plagiarism while they're hyping up AI.
I’ve said it before but if you can’t drop a piece of entertainment because it’s funding actual hate crimes you are weak and won’t survive the winter. The real reason metalheads are tougher than you is because we’ve all done this with music made by a racist who has far less sway than this lady
So I know in the past I've complained about Hogwarts Legacy and gotten responses to the effect of "is there a way I can ethically play it". With a sequel on the way, here's what my answer is: Don't play it. Don't even pirate it. There's like literally a billion other videogames you could play.
Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.
Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned
Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

I wonder how many antivaxxers are just scared of needles and afraid to admit it. They seem to really fixate on the "jab" framing.
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

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
