The far right is taking power all around Latin America. This weekend, Brazil will choose whether to return Lula to office or put Bolsonaro's son in power. Our Brazilian comrades explore the stakes, arguing that only grassroots direct action can address Brazil's problems. crimethinc.com/Brazil2026

Virry was a throw in idea, something to get the point across but ultimately didn't get more attention than the day she was made. @block-618.com showed up in the Discord one day and blew my mind with this "concept" that transformed Virry into something truly special and now synonymous with AVS03.

I’m so sorry mama Rainy to have to squish you in the kennel with your very large & fat, greedy babies but it’s only for 24 hours ;-; I did sit with them to make sure she remembered & accepted them & that she didn’t seem too stressed to be stuck with them all. There’s still one left to trap.
Mama Rainy, a grey and white tabby cat, looks at the camera with a thousand-yard stare as she is swarmed by her 4 grey and white copy-kittens.

unclear which children were put in danger? oh iunno. they shot him at a playground. pick one at random what a completely shit article. this would be a bad article whether he was trans or not. a lot of it discusses his domestic issues with his wife. framing is brutally unforgiving
A Bay Area couple have been accused of shooting and killing their son-in-law in a suburban sports park on Saturday afternoon, the local police said.

The man, Jonathan McKinsey, 40, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds around 3 p.m. in a parking lot at Dublin Sports Grounds, an athletic complex and playground in Dublin, Calif.,detectives are continuing to investigate. They also are being held on suspicion of willful discharge of a firearm with gross negligence; conspiracy; and child endangerment likely to produce great bodily injury or death. It was not clear which children the last booking charge pertained to.

Funny story – I don't think Sony should've been able to patent it, as Nintendo has already made it. And one of the preconditions of patenting something is "you can't patent something that is already out in the open." But man, patent officials don't due dilligence gamerheadlines.com/nintendo-rev...

man if you're a musician/author/developer and you spend years producing an album/book/game it'd be a shame to then append cover art that screams "hey, I didn't put any effort into this thing I made!", putting on the same level as a flyer for Ladies' Wrasslin' night at the redneck bar

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes
