I really want to like the Steam Deck, but I find myself disappointed with it, & it's because games aren't made for handheld consoles anymore. The Steam Deck, Switch, etc can't capture what past handheld consoles could because doing so required technological limitations that don't exist anymore.

Ultimately what has disillusioned me is that the current left seems to want to recreate the methodology of the 2016-2024 right, & that doesn't make me feel confident that we will be any more democratic or better at reducing suffering.
The thing about populism is that it appeals to the publics worst underlying tendencies. Sure, elements of it can be used for good, but it is a really easy thing to manipulate, and the left is no better at weilding it than the right.
the thing about populism is that it appeals to the idea that shit sucks and needs to change. the democratic party worked very hard to suppress good populism in their own party, but the republicans ran a populist candidate. they were the only party able to mobilize a broad desire for change
Hey y'all, sorry for the lack of streams this week. Chronic depression & issues from trauma have been killing my motivation the last month, & this week has been especially rough. I don't want to make any hard promises but I really want to stream again next week, so that's what I'm aming for.
Does withholding your vote actually work? Would it have been better if Trump won in 2020? Did self described "principled" leftists influence Kamala Harris' loss? This video serves as my reflection of those concepts.

There is no version of conspiracism that does not lead one down right wing ideological pipelines
sorry I guess this is old news but Trump is selling early access to his posts for one hundred thousand dollars a month so that people can know which stocks to buy and sell? did everyone know about this and not tell me. are you serious
I really hate all major political ideolgies' approaches to mental health. Conservatives just want to cull the undesirables, liberals only care insofar as it can be used to increase productivity, & leftists are under the misguided impression that under socialism no one will have problems
Saw a video about Kurzgesagt being shadow banned on YT & there was discussion over how the dislike button being brought back would be a better method of determining AI slop & like... No it wouldn't?
Just saw the new Spiderman movie and I'm finally glad to see a new MCU movie that finally understands how to craft a world that moves with its heroes rather than simply because of them

Leftists criticize Isreal without devolving into zogposting challenge
I feel like I'm going insane. I read the Hank Green post about his AI use, and it's... fine? Like he acknowledged the problem and is stepping away. I'm not sure why this is turning into a DramaTube circus outside of people being conspiratorial with no justification???
made a post earlier today on Patreon about why I've decided to stop streaming/making content about politics.

What Triangulation Can Be: - Having a friend resolve a conflict on your behalf - Controlling communication between your partner & their friends/family What Triangulation Isn't: - Venting to/seeking advice from someone about a conflict - Intervening in a conflict between friends/family
Just listening to a reddit stories podcast and was just reminded of something. If someone ever demands you not speak to specific others to limit "triangulation", they're not afraid of you ganging up on them, it's out of fear of you discovering their manipulation.
It's a specific tactic used to control the flow of information by lying about and to people and setting it up so they are less likely to confront and adress supposed issues with each other. The only real counter to actual triangulation is fully open and honest communication.

I think that "if we ban unconsentual AI porn generation, then we wouldn't be allowed to make AI porn of Trump" is actually a really good argument for banning unconsentual AI porn generation
33k people are cancelling me on Threads and I’ve been trending for 2 days straight bc I said that Minnesota’s AI nudification law is bad and has serious first amendment concerns, meaning xAI is actually right to try to get it overturned: www.bedrockprinciple.com/p/minnesotas...
A lot of people on here speak about AI psychosis the way the media treats schizophrenia & addiction, & it's made me realize our community is in no way safer when it comes to mental health. Like we can be anti-AI without being assholes & contributing to stigma
I've been using @ellipsus.com since the start of the year to write, take notes, & compile research bc I really wanted an alternative to Google/Microsoft that didn't use AI & wasn't ReMarkable/LibreOffice, & while I like what it's going for, I have criticisms that are keeping me from going all in🧵
The Acton campaign really doing the "I just don't have the emotional bandwidth for this right now" thing in regards to being asked about *her* statement

Hey so I checked out of Pokemon around Let's Go and I've never been the like "oh they're running out of ideas" gal but like what the fuck is this
@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jul ErinReed Dem OH Gov Candidate Amy Acton, who just endorsed trans sports bans, scheduled a Zoom meeting with LGBTQ+ advocates, stood them up, and locked out the trans people who showed along with the Chair of the Progressive Caucus. I'm from OH--we can do better.
Dem. Ohio Gov Candidate Amy Acton Scheduled a Meeting With LGBTQ+ Advocates, Didn't Show Up, And Kicked Out Trans People Who Did
The meeting was supposed to be Acton's way of making up for calling trans girls "boys."
