I love the people acting like today we totally showed those in power what's what. The protests today were scheduled. The people behind them cleared it with the cops and local government. There was merch made for it. I attended, but have no illusions of how milquetoast this was. How pedestrian.

Nope! Fuck this! I am not buying a game that is basically AI: The Master Chief Game.

Report: Generative AI is being heavily used to make new Halo games, including Halo CE Remake

The skeleton and foundation of all new Halo games are reportedly being built using Xbox's generative AI technology in a bid to streamline development.

My gf and I showed up with a sign that said "Be glad we protest like this. We might start protesting like the French."

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

Fun fact: in the next fifty years, driving across country is going to be WAY more difficult. Most small towns are going to be dead. Town after town will be empty, so getting gas will be tricky. You will have to plan your route carefully.

Well, went to the protest w/ my gf and our LGBT peeps. We had fun, but it was also so civilized. "But if there was violence or any ruckus, Trump would use that to use the Insurrection Act!" He's gonna do it anyway. And when martial law happens, I wonder how many of the people today would resist?

And can't forget the merch.

Because protests work with cops to set everything up and with government officials to get approval of where and when and how. Doing that every month would be a lot of work.

I wish there were more reporting that British, American, and the entire developed world has been manipulated into embracing a technocratic surveillance state brand of fascism that has control of every media and social network, with government help.

If you ever want a better look at the capitalist mindset, it doesn't get much better than this. Good scene in a CRIMINALLY underappreciated series. youtu.be/rIK-q6JoOeU?...

We are trying to grow things across the PNW. I also have a PNW women's gamer group I am part of, to help the nerdy women who feel lonely. We can beat the ugliness of the world, by coming together.

I respect this so much. I am working to grow the LGBT community in my area. Having in person events. Expanding the number of LGBT as can reach out to on base, because we exist and being LGBT in tye military can feel isolating. Resistance begins w/community. www.instagram.com/reel/DP7H1I7...

They literally want to force us back into the kitchen. To be barefoot and pregnant. That is the only value they see in us. Fuck conservative men. All of them they aren't human. They're scum.

Man, no wonder Nintendo hates Palworld so much. First it was Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, now it's Pokémon ZA that is ass. The Pokémon Company couldn't make a good game to save their lives. Meanwhile, Palworld is fun and doesn't look like a mobile game from 2015.

This is why all those people who say "blue states leaders will stand against the Trump Regime!" are full of shit. Democrat leaders in blue states are as chickenshit as the ones in Congress. www.instagram.com/p/DP7bfHbkQY...

The Internet is becoming an AI dumping ground. Soon it will be all AI news and all AI videos. Everything that made it great will be gone. www.instagram.com/p/DP5UJPSjEO...

So...it's starting. Banks are starting to collapse. Multiple banks are closing. Corporations are firing people in waves. Billionaires are moving their assets to off-shore accounts. The news isn't talking about ANY of this. The global economy is about to collapse.

Everyone is going back to Twitter.

If they would just own what this place is, maybe we could get some actual engagement again. I went through the people I follow, and 70% of them haven't posted in over a month. 50% of them haven't posted in over 6 months, and 30% in almost a year. This site is dead.

Now that we are heading into a post Internet world, since AI is going to make the Internet fundamentally dead because everything good about it is gone, remember to connect with local groups. If non exist, meet your neighbors and make them. We need to bring back in person socializing.

"The midterms elections will fix this!"

You poor fool. You poor, simple fool. You poor delusional moron. They won't matter. The Supreme Court is about the annihilate minority voting, which fucks over the Democrats forever.

Democracy was a fun experiment, but oligarchy is here. Technocratic fascism

"You seen that yuri anime that everyone is talking about lately?!"

The one with the chick who has three other girls into who are into her, which is essentially a harem anime but for lesbians? Yeah, not into it.

And don't bring up the Paris Accords to me, fuckers! That was a Band-Aid on a bullet wound!

Well, we now know that it is too late to save the coral reefs. The ocean temperature is now so high that they can't adapt and will die. One of tue most colorful and beautiful things in the world is going to disappear in my lifetime. Well done, humanity.
