Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

Trump's feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't sanctify her in any way, but I do think it's interesting because it's another fault line in what has been so far a pretty unified coalition of white grievance mongering. The cracks are widening now because he's losing the juice that kept it together

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

Happens so much in gaming now. Yes, video games have always adopted new tech, and AI like machine learning has been a part of that. Hell, Rogue used generative algorithms in the 80s.
But the use of GenAI in gaming is new, and quite different. Although companies using it love to say it isn't.

Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

I am *so* fucking done with people acting like this is normal. That the president of our country can just flat out lie and it’s not a big deal. That an entire branch of our government has been subverted to the whims of a serial liar.

As someone who has had multiple MRIs, you absolutely know what the techs are imaging before they put you in the machine, because if there is any sort of metal in the target area you *really* need to let them know beforehand since cleaning bloodstains out of the tube is NOT a good time
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Is not the point of Metroid that you’re supposed to explore and figure it out on your own. Is that not why we named a whole ass genre after it?

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Eurgh. It's not even cutting corners. They just decided to not have artists involved at all and just used whatever they could squeeze out of an image generator.
There's a whole set of Generic Ghibli Style ones in there too.
This is Call Of Duty, the poster child for budget excess in AAA. So tacky.

Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.

NEW: The backlash to Trump has been coming in big waves. Dems' sweep in last week’s elections. The 7 million people who turned out for “No Kings” protests.
But it's been fueling something else all year: a surge in young progressives signing up to run for office.
