I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

I switched to PC after getting a card that could support the fancy features and it really is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen running that way. Can't wait to see what they come up with for The Witcher 4.

Awwww, shit. Great news!

The first Darkwood is not for everyone, but it was for me, and it's among the best horror experiences I've had across any medium.

I got to see Cyberpunk 2077 at every stage of its bizarre journey and it's been a saga, haha. I'm glad where it landed, though, and even in its jankiest state, I still liked it. The game design and technical performance needed work in those early days, but the CDPR writing team never let me down.

Was that game still giving you trouble?? But yeah, it's wild to see Obsidian go from releasing notoriously buggy games at launch when it wasn't the industry norm to now releasing stable software when it is.

I picked it up too! Currently juggling that and Ghost of Yotei while flirting with the very beginnings of a Hades 2 file. At least I've gotten the first ending of Silent Hill f -- there's too much.

Always happy to support Obsidian at launch though. Avowed was another highlight of the year.

Possibly my favorite horror movie of all time for precisely these reasons. That, plus a few great scares and a chilling escalation of its premise.

spacebeetle.bsky.social @spacebeetle.bsky.social · 9d

Pulse is a great and depressingly prescient movie. I don't think any other film captures the soul crushing loneliness of the terminally online. It's probably also the zero year for the liminal horror of the likes of Skinamarink, analog horror, and the work of Jane Schoenbrun.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

If you can't see the clear religious parallels, it's just because you lack Thiel's scalpel-sharp media analysis.

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.

This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.
