I miss forums. I like synthesizers and video games and cameras and I really should make more things. (he/him)

btw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

I have thoughts on this that I should expand on later simple version would go like this: If you don’t know any better, then price is a very tangible thing you can judge easily and immediately. Quality/durability aren’t as obvious and may take years to notice. It is way easier to judge on price.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Hey.... like we said, age verification laws would be used as excuse to attack queer content, I just didn't expect it to be used this way, but hey more evidence for why you should be against it.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

Boone Regional Library in Columbia is hosting a “queer-led story time” directed to toddlers and preschoolers, with time to “meet new friends” afterwards. We’ve sent a notice to the library reminding them that providing pornography or sexual material to minors is against Missouri law.

Saw the news and thought "Oh, this surely means there'll be an upgrade available for the Switch versions!" Haha, nope! If you have the Switch version and want the Switch 2 version, you just gotta buy the whole game all over again, at full price, and your save doesn't even transfer. Thanks, Square!

i refuse to read theory because i also just refuse to read but i assume that the joint democrat-republican red scare we are getting about the dsa really is a predictable step in capital defending itself against its own excesses
