Nine hours after going live, the itch bundle benefiting our Game Worker Hardship Fund has already raised over $13k! Thank you so much to those who have already purchased. And for those who might be waiting for payday, you’ve still got about two weeks left! Thank you so much 🙏
So Burnham definitely not the messiah then, not healing the sick, just stuffing them in the bin
In order for there to be an American Dream, racial discrimination, oligarchy, and hereditary wealth and claims need be obliterated. The American Dream is not about creating and enabling billionaires and trillionaires
It makes no sense... You build teams that can deliver complex games. Artists delivering amazing assets. Developers building game systems and components. All working together in a complex and highly functioning team. The moment you can, you sack them all to start over again? Fucking dumb

You know when you were learning code and accidentally write an infinite loop or recursive function that hangs your computer. Anthropic are worried that they are doing that but at a scale that will cause widespread droughts and power outages.
Leading AI development lab urges competition to slow down because what they are developing is so powerful it's dangerous. A bit like we can't show you how good our model is because it's dangerous. Don't buy our credits it might make you too powerful 🙄
Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.
Reminder that Amazon... -Helps fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1M to Trump's inauguration -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $75M for the Melania movie -Donated to Trump's WH ballroom -And wants to reboot The Apprentice with Don Jr as host
Let's be clear electing Trump was not a finger up to the system. This is exactly what the rich and wealthy needed to happen. To create an untrustworthy and impotent government unable to challenge their power. Bezos knows what he is doing when he says we shouldn't have to pay taxes.
The only people that end up as billionaires are the kind of people that consistently choose themselves over others. Taking credit for others work. Prioritising greed and self enrichment over any morality. They are people committed to increasing their net worth at all cost. This is all
Bezos arguing why a nurse in Queens should be paying more tax to the government. Peak cognitive dissonance. She's paying more tax because you aren't paying your fucking taxes, on top of that your businesses receiving subsidies and margin on goods increases for shareholders profits... JFC!
To be clear the trades that were made were significant amounts of money within a window of minutes before Trump declared action. This wasn't a lucky move from a fortunate trader. The amount traded indicates high confidence and foresight. The timing of which required insider knowledge to pull off.

How do American service people feel about being used by a psychopathic paedophile hell-bent on self enrichment using international extortion? Just following orders?
Spineless Starmer saying a lot about Iran's actions painting it out to be the aggressor and saying nothing about Trump's actions illegally starting a war on the whim of a tantrum. Get a back bone
Anything he's done while in office--either time--has had four primary purposes (not in any particular order): 1. Doing Putin's bidding 2. Manipulating stock market(s) for himself and his friends 3. Laundering money (that he keeps for himself) 4. Staying out of prison
It's really saddening how it seems that there's a significant number of voices, primarily male, that seem to care more about treason and illegal financial activities than they do about sex trafficking and paedophilia, why is that?
This is the key problem with for-profit business, sometimes you have to do things without profit for the benefit of the wider society. Some have no money but they still have needs. Real business is a responsibility not a cash cow. Sustainability over YoY profits.
Postman turning into an AI chatbot and leaking all of your API creds is the golden example of the current age of technology. Does a simple thing worse, with a crappier interface and is unable to avoid splatting your information across the internet.
Is it just me or if you have a position of power like the government or you command labour and resources at extreme scales like billionaires, then you should really be held to far higher standards...
