This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

Switch 2 maintaining its momentum well, with what's likely a big holiday ahead of it when Ocarina of Time remake drops. It's a great system, glad to see it succeeding

Hardware - Nintendo Switch 2 finished its first twelve months in market with a 5.9M unit US installed base. It is the 2nd fastest selling video game hardware in US tracked history (tracking begins in 1995). Only the Game Boy Advance’s 6.5M units exceeds it.

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

"But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X’s estimated global users." This is presented as a failure. At 2yo, having 10% of the users of its biggest rival, which is 20yo, is a failure. No tech is allowed to just be a success, it has to be a blockbuster or it doesn't count.

Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration

"I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in...we're very inspired by companies like Reddit," Bluesky's Rose Wang told CNBC.

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

They believe in nothing

Don’t try to shoot anyone over it, which won’t help anything, but it remains absolutely true that Trump is an existential threat to America who should be removed from office as quickly as possible. He’s a sociopathic megalomaniac whose corruption and unfitness is unparalleled in history. Impeach

Are we back folks, are the skies blue

People are getting mad at the tech nerds donating their time to locate and map out extensive scam networks operating here? Y'all. Yes there are real, genuine people asking for $, but if you want to be a mark, congrats for proving PT Barnum's point. I give to vetted orgs mostly (my choice).

NASA has shared another striking photo! The Artemis II astronauts were treated to a rare view as the moon eclipsed the sun from their perspective aboard the Orion spacecraft. The astronauts saw the solar eclipse while making a historic lunar flyby April 6. See more images: bit.ly/48xeMY1 📸: NASA

NYT is a deeply untrusthworthy newspaper, that happens to staff some of the best investigative journalists around. It's a real information environment quagmire.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The NYT quotes a young conservative operative without identifying him as such. On the left, the NYT quotes him wondering why anyone would think Trump is different from any other president. And then on the right, is that kid's Substack insisting that Trump is different from any other president.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. We love our trans friends, don't we folks

Fascism is worse than neoliberalism in literally every way

People can scream "ageism!" all they want. The truth is that RBG's decision not to retire is a big part of why Roe v. Wade is gone. The truth is that Biden's decision to run for a second term despite his age is probably the single biggest reason Donald Trump is currently president.

Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Pokopia felt a bit overwhelming at first but then I started just following the quest lines at my own pace and then suddenly the clock said hours had gone by, unsure if I should trust it, will ask the Tangrowth for advice

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

X is a fascist propaganda website.

This can't be the same brain that knew all the channel numbers

You are not a serious person if you claim the entire approach to international relations of the GOP and the Democrats was the same in 2024.

The Blood Moon happening in the 9th year release anniversary of Breath of the Wild is some spooky stuff

Eventually the Trump regime will collapse, because it’s built on a single rotten, 79-year pillar. When it does, the army of cranks who have tried to shelter under the boss’s seeming impunity, in order to commit crimes of their own, will have nowhere to hide. We must scour them out of our society.

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

There has never been a better time to accept and vocalize that Jews and the Israeli government are not the same thing. Yes, the Israeli government has worked hard for decades to make us believe opposing its actions is inherently antisemitic. But it isn’t true. It never was.

Netflix declines to raise offer for Warner Bros., says the deal is "no longer financially attractive."

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
