Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is one of those images that is gonna get circulated. When a Presbyterian minister is holding his arms open, offering ICE agents salvation, gets maced in the face by the thugs. This is biblical martyrdom shit.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

It’s sad how true this likely is. The same can probably be said for support for far-right movements, but it’s a dangerous game because of the costly precipice.

I would say ABC should be ashamed of themselves but I spent enough to time in TV to know networks have no shame. What they have are shareholders & corporate owners. We have a POTUS who refers to a Governor as ‘Newscum’ and it gets accepted by news orgs but calling out evil isn’t.

Grounded 2 announced! Yes!! Mountable bugs in a larger environment (3x size of last game). Building forts was my favorite aspect of the first game, so I’m excited to see how that’s been improved in this sequel.

BALL x PIT demo is pretty sick. It’s a roguelite, à la Vampire Survivors, with some fun progression and management mechanics. Digging its pixel art style and soundtrack too. Looking forward to release of this one.

Excited for a new Thief game (!) until I learn it’s for VR (which, cool, but can’t afford a VR2 anytime ever).

Journalists’ continuous normalization of these thieves/grifters is infuriating.
This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed.
DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.

“Musk came to Washington all Cybertrucks and chain saws, ready to destroy the bureaucracy,” write Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer. But as he winds down his service, “he has found himself isolated within the upper reaches of the Trump administration”: https://theatln.tc/ckySMUOS

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.
