Got a bunch of fun collabs planned! 😎

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often

Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?"

A: yes

I am always thankful to the Boots employee who helped this sickly and confused American on a London trip back in 2018, that’s when the naming difference first got on my radar 🫡

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment?

If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com.

Please spread the word

Good morning.

Immigration is good. Trade is good.

There are nuances but they are narrow enough that free and open movement of people and goods should be the default.

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Have you considered using one of those tools to create a custom usb installer that has all the bloatware/cloud stuff removed? Or is that not stripped down enough, I don't know anything about iot ltsc

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Trans people are "a vulnerable minority group that has been widely demonized. Any good journalistic practice would involve nailing down accuracy to avoid making things worse."

The WSJ carelessly spread anti-trans misinformation

The Wall Street Journal’s fuckup while covering Charlie Kirk’s killing needs more than an editor’s note.
