This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

the boys has never been subtle — it has always been the complete opposite — but I think there’s a difference between being purposefully unsubtle and being so on the nose as to prompt an eye roll every several minutes. that’s the larger issue with this season, at least for me

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

The best conversations about FromSoftware games happen well after they are out, and now that I have finished and sat with Shadow of The Erdtree, an expansion I like, I think it's worth talking about the things it does and does not do well. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/elden-ring-s...

twitch has finally suspended nickmercs, a popular streamer who's been spewing anti-trans rhetoric for months, because he used an anti-trans slur. but the damage has already been done, and if twitch doesn't take further action, it will likely continue aftermath.site/nickmercs-tw...

Just like that, it's already time for another stream day. We're going live on Twitch at 4 PM ET with special guest @adashtra.bsky.social to discuss Dr Disrespect's Twitch ban and how the reason behind it finally came to light. Also: Elden Ring, because how could we not?

today dr disrespect confessed to exchanging inappropriate messages with a minor, the reason he was banned from twitch in 2020. he's lost a company, sponsors, and his reputation. but on the modern internet, that does not mean he's done for aftermath.site/dr-disrespec...

New York state is run by Democrats, who have, in just the past few weeks: - Killed congestion pricing - Proposed a mask ban - Taken down a pro-Palestine Dem with help from AIPAC With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

moved over the weekend and had to install a new router today. anyway my opinion is that the verizon app is an actual war crime

Dr Disrespect is (probably not) cooked aftermath.site/dr-disrespec...

many have asked why reporters who knew the reason dr disrespect got banned from twitch took so long to publicize it. this, in short, is what happened aftermath.site/dr-disrespec...

following an investigation, midnight society — the video game company dr disrespect helped found — is parting ways with him. this comes after allegations surfaced late last week that he was permanently banned from twitch in 2020 for “sexting a minor in the then existing twitch whispers product”

listening to an episode of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social from 2019, and they keep calling somebody a "male bimbo," which has caused me to realize that we did not have the term "himbo" back then. incredible. how did we live for so long without it
