I was reading the Wikipedia article for "Leeroy Jenkins" when I came across this sentence which filled me with such despair that I had to step away from the computer and stare longingly out the window while contemplating suicide.

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with β€œmobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will β€œhelp us walk again”, but ramps.

I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

of all the β€œthis is the dumbest timeline” examples I think it might be β€œwe are literally living in the plot of 99 Luftballons” for me

The latter is more accurate, but I'll never stop saying the former.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

There are few more revealing glimpses afforded than the way these doofuses still applaud this moment, in which a famously racist warmonger corrected a woman by saying that Obama couldn't be an "Arab" because he was a "decent person."

Rocco was the fluffiest, neediest, and largist cat I ever met. He was truly great, RIP.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy"

Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

This is my exact quote btw:

β€œKat is a journalist by training. She believes deeply in rigorous reporting.

That is precisely why she believes editorial boards like this one often undermine the credibility of the institutions they sit within by laundering ideology as objectivity.”

my pet theory is this is because the market share of linux went from like 1.1% to 1.4% in 2024 and for the first time ever didn't go back to 1.1% in 2025

My PR for a Vulkan Ray Tracing pipeline has been merged into Godot! I’m grateful to everyone in the community who took the time to review.

CHARLES RAFFERTY
The Problem with Early Warnings

People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres.
How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives.
Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following
the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

They don't care what you believe. They are about imposing dominance and control over everything including you.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.
