If you're a radical leftist, a progressive, a liberal, or even just a plain old Democrat, I'm probably on board with your politics.
But in this political climate, that shit doesn't matter because we're not even in the ballpark.
So until the room changes a LOT, I'm focusing on other shit.

So I'm liking the story and feel of Claire Obscure Expedition 33, but I hate the dodge mechanics a lot.

Why am I always seated by the loudest, most evangelical, most "Im-not-one-of-those" Christians?
My meal has been spent listening to them talking about how men should be the only ones that get to decide whether or not a fetus gets to live or not.

Every day I see an infographic that’s like “Oxygen Is Now Owned By SludgeCorp: How To Keep Breathing Without Letting It Drain Your Vital Essence“ and then I have to spend an hour of my precious life figuring out if it’s worth it to stop breathing

This is why all your employees are asking "how are you using AI at work?"
Because they're being told to from the top. Because they're paying for it and getting nothing in return.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I feel like the existence of art museums is proof that most people don't suck.
Like, there's a milti-million dollar pieces of very fragile glass here and nobody has shoved their friends into it or broken off a piece "just for fun". For YEARS.

🚨NEW STORY 🚨
Last month, over 400 activists were imprisoned by Israel for trying to bring aid into Gaza. 1 of them was Zue, an army vet.
Here, me and Zue discuss her voyage to Gaza, imprisonment, NOLA's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, & more.

Dear gamers: please stop saying what you rolled on the dice. Just give me the total please. I don't care about your unmodified dice roll unless it has some other mechanics attached to it.

Real life bias/prejudice were responsible for some of the lore of settings we otherwise love. Thus it stands to reason that current real life concerns constitute a valid reason for that to change.

Draw Steel proves that it's everyone else that let me down. Dragons can be so cool, and everyone else needs to live up to that instead of throwing more colours at them.

I am back to say that these dragons, as a certified dragon-hater, are so fucking good.
Dragons are a great concept that is never delivered on, and these little fuckers are an exception to that rule.

I don't even really doomscroll. I do one of two things.
Eyeroll-scroll: just me down voting and reporting bigots and sometimes telling them to fuck off. Useless, but feels good.
Auto-scroll: where I'm 45 seconds into a video and realize it's about whether a random kid can eat four hot dogs.
