Logged into X to discover that my account has been suspended. I've been a Twitter/X user since 2009 and have never had any negative action taken toward my account. They said I broke X rules but didn't say which rules or how.

Vance is now getting the full Biden from Sulz and it's hilarious, republicans really have no idea how to play the game when the refs aren't asking them where they want the ball spotted

So in terms of "steps toward Nazism," I think that wondering aloud whether the disabled should simply be euthanized is... one of them.

As a 501c3 corporation, the Heritage Foundation is not allowed to participate in politics, much less publish manifestos. Download the Project 2025 pdf from their website & attach it to IRS Form 13909 and challenge their tax exempt status. Here's their EIN # 23-7327730 And instructions (email!)

Jesus. I’m a booster and I had no idea of this full context.

bret wants you to think that the sitting VP taking over for the sitting Pres, who cruised through the primaries, is anti-democratic, but the press and dem elites hounding that same Pres out of the race and then anointing someone who never ran in a national primary is somehow small-d democratic

I genuinely don't understand this argument and it is *everywhere*. Do people think it was undemocratic when LBJ took over for Kennedy?

Anyway, I'd love to know if the Heritage Project's Project 2025 violates the Internal Revenue Code since it's officially a 501(c)3 org. (FYI this is part of why they want to kill the IRS)

Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. (IRS website)

There are so many reasons to love Mo Ryan’s work but damn this article hits square in the jaw. So many mic drops like this “what I really hope we do not do — again— is ask a Black woman to save us, and then sit back and do little to nothing to protect her from the hordes of jackals out to get her. “

Instead of on Twitter - let's try this here & see if it works by now. If you're developing a game, or released one: reply with the title, description, screenshots, and/or a link. Doesn't matter what stage of development you're in. Then repost this, and let's see what cool stuff we're all making.

what i love about tech pushing their version of AI, a detrimental, money sucking, garbage concept that doesn't do anything they say it can do, is nothing. it sucks. i hate it. i can't wait for it to get nft'ed the fuck out of here.

This is so fucking patronizing. 90% of people who need wheelchair assistance at an airport are perfectly independent and ambulatory, they just can't walk the long distances involved. The reason airport assist needs attendants in those 90% of cases is the airport only has transport chairs.

Once again, “innovation” has won out over actually, y’know, making things accessible (or, apparently, talking to any disabled people). As another skeet noted (I’ll link below), the things move at about 1m per hour, play a JINGLE, and stop when in proximity to an obstacle. It’s a cursed robovac.
