  • Agreed. An abundance of natural talent right there. Can't wait to see how he grows.

    • 'Death Stranding 2' proves more video games need to get weird, experts say

    Jump

  • I'm going to have nightmares about this.

    • Department of Homeland Security announces $94 million in grants to protect Jewish organizations

    Jump

  • Another extension of Dubya's "faith-based initiatives", but they won't rustle up $100 million for public schools or health care.

    • Why do Conservatives physically look evil?

    Jump

  • It's just because you think they're evil. Otherwise, they'd just look ordinary.

    • Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?

    Jump

  • These two changed my whole perspective on American history and the public school system, as I learned a lot of information that had been deliberately withheld from me.

    • Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
    • A People's History of the United States

    As for fiction:

    • The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (Beautiful and a little sad)
    • The Tapestry Series by Henry Neff (Just a wonderful series to read)
    • Night Shift by Stephen King (Read it way too young, in elementary school)
    • The Bible (in a bad way, God is an asshole)
    • Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (A trip through my childhood, basically)
    • Incidents Around the House (A scary book that touches on all our worst fears as kid)
    • The Witches by Roald Dahl (Just a great kids horror book)

    Jump

  • You're not wrong. There are lots of holier-than-thou types around here.

  • Same, took some legwork to get files for my 700-song library, but we did it. Fuck 'em.

    Jump

  • It is possible to get off Spotify.

    What you can't buy legitimately via other means you can use a Youtube-To-MP3 converter to rip and add the file to your music library.

    • Brazil's supreme court rules that platforms like Facebook and X can be held liable for user posts, requiring them to remove content even without a court order

    Jump

  • It's not censorship to hold people accountable for making editorial decisions on media platforms, and as long as FB, Twitter, and others are weighting different kinds of content in their algorithms (which they are), they should be held accountable financially and legally for the consequences.

    • Pete Hegseth Is Mad the Media Won’t Celebrate U.S. War With Iran

    Jump

  • I've never rooted harder for alcohol poisoning in my life.

    • Republicans threaten to deport Mamdani, conduct mass roundups in response to New York mayoral primary

  • Go read up on Eugene Debs to see a great example of how the capitalists have made an example of socialists historically.

    • Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediately

    Jump

    • Employees at Palantir probably don't like the idea of having their personal data harvested. But they are quite enthusiastic about collecting yours.

    Jump

  • True.

    Also important to remember that they can't steal what you don't put in the cloud.

    • Supreme Court tees up blockbuster final day of term - (Update: They Ruled In Favor of Trump on Nationwide Injunctions)

    Jump

  • Abso-fucking-lutely.

    We can't have a functioning government when we don't have a functional reality.

    Jump

  • Seems so, but we never had an actual democracy to begin with, or Donald wouldn't have been elected.

    That said, federal injunctions have been the only truly functioning portion of checks and balances, so I have no doubt we're going to be full-steam ahead on Donald's Project 1939. It bears repeating: If ICE comes knocking, you didn't see anyone or anything, and in general, don't talk to cops.
