This is not even controlled opposition, it’s just full on collaboration.
Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social · 7mo agoGovernor Walz says he's prepared to deploy the Minnesota National Guard if protests become violent in reaction to ICE fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis. "We will not take the bait," adds Walz, saying he's also angry but demonstrations should remain lawful.
Still tired from my trip but dragged myself to the cinema to watch the Stranger Things finale.
Productive trip to NYC, Masquerade and Stranger Things were my favorites.
JFK is such a clown show that T4 has busses between certain parts of the terminal. I would simply build my airport terminal correctly.
This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Having a great time replaying Skyrim on Switch 2. I honestly forgot how good it is because of all the random hate Bethesda games get online, a small reminder that propaganda works on all of us.
Have to wait 5 min for the subway today. Feels like being back in San Francisco
I couldn't really get into No Other Choice even though it was cinematographically brilliant.
I’m old enough to remember they made a whole agency who was using “national security” as a pretense to do illegal shit
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 8mo agoWhen the president says “national security” he gets additional powers And when the president says “emergency” he gets additional powers And when the president says “terrorists” he gets additional powers Requires presidents who do so rarely, in good faith, only when circumstances make it necessary
TFW you arrive at the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Airport.
Since my flight is delayed by a bit, how about an unordered list of my top 5 movies of 2025? - Wake Up Dead Man - Weapons - One Battle After Another - Die My Love - Honey Don't
I think we can consider Avatar 3 the first movie of the "AI" era. Obviously it is still human made, but the human element is completely removed, the film drained of any creativity and emotion. Just a loop of never ending copy/paste that simply stops once it reaches its desired runtime.
Avatar's own antagonist gets too bored of threatening to kill the kids one more time and finally the movie can end. This franchise *has* to be a practical joke by James Cameron.
Already starting to hate The Odyssey because wdym I have to watch the same six minutes every time I go see a movie in IMAX now?
The normal difficulty of Terminator 2D seems kinda weird? The first ten levels are very easy, 11 is random bullshit and then 12 is kinda hard. Dropped down to easy since I wasn't sure if 12 was the last and there I basically did a 1CC on the first try (minus dying 2-3 times to the lvl 11 bullshit)
Saw Into the Woods today and while it was mechanically a very good production, the content felt a bit banal to me. On the ride home I tried to figure out if I'm alone with that opinion and found a perfectly fitting comment.
the republicans are genocidal maniacs and the 3 democrats that voted for this are amoral cowards. death before detransition. trans youth are incredible.
Jo Yurcaba@joyurcaba.bsky.social · 8mo agoThe House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors. Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
I guess my increasing hate for the Steam Deck is reflected in the stats
Wanted to semi complain about Divinity 2 being $50 while FF7 Remake is $40, but it seems like there’s an easy way out. RDR just did the same thing last week. I wonder if this is just a sneaky tactic of doing value based pricing?
As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

The GH frontend is now so committed to being slow that the context menu has a loading indicator
So many login forms have now added involuntary MFA and intrusive passkey upsells. And all because web developers couldn't make the "Remember Me" checkbox work properly.
Watching Rental Family gave me an immediate urge to fly to Tokyo
