A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses
Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
What kind of advice do you think decision makers are getting when half the guys in the room bet their mortgages on strikes happening 36 hours from now
He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.
his time is eternal.

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.
We need a rundown of every studio (not just Sony) that died because execs ordered a live service game that either couldn't be delivered, or was delivered but died in the market soon after launch. There's got to be a ton. What a terrible era for games.
Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.
The Supreme Court:
People who are only engaging with social movements via social media are not going to be able to grasp the depth of collective discipline and strategy that people are coalescing around across the country. It’s not No Kings peace policing or lib brain rot. It’s almost invisible tactical maneuvering.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.
these people aren't capable of feeling bad but they should be forced to
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
Somebody should invent a socioeconomic system which is good at allocating resources
Because we have allowed analysts to be captured by the companies they're meant to analyze, and none of them understand anything, otherwise they'd say A) you can't build this software and B) even if you could, are you going to waste time and money to maintain it?

Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.
Screenshot From the adobeanimate community on Reddit Updates on the Status of Adobe Animate (Text Preview) Hey everyone, my name is Mike Chambers, and I work on the community team at Adobe- Commentary on screenshot- "Adobe Animate is in maintenance mode.

Looooooolllllllllllll they made Disney angry
"tired of some of their admiration for [insert lefty or left-leaning political and cultural figure]" explains a solid three-quarters of the last decade of american politics
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

One good thing about playing social video games is the joy you get from booting a racist and nobody questions your decision.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Well worth a watch.
Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.
