DHS’s “voter database” is full of inaccuracies and has flagged eligible voters as noncitizens. It’s simply an attempt to purge voters ahead of the midterms. Grateful to see Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs side with WA voters, not this administration’s power grab.

There's something deeply humorous to me about the fact that this GOG video about preserving Prince of Persia games uses the original game (which GOG *does not sell*) in its thumbnail In fact the only PoP games they have are the Sands of Time trilogy and the '08 reboot game

The Internet, Social Media and AI are facilitating the churning out of obscene atrocity denial propaganda to deterritorialised global audiences in a way that feels unlike any prior epoch, and I feels like nobody in power is even willing to confront that because they expect to exploit it themselves.

Been playing Parasite Eve II and I COULD SURE GO FOR AN ICE-COLD COCA-COLA®
Screenshot from Parasite Eve II. In a skyscraper, there's a Coca-Cola® vending machine on a stair landing with a picture of like a 20oz bottle of Coca-Cola® surrounded by... ice, I think? It's a PS1 texture so it's hard to tell.Screenshot from Parasite Eve II. Aya is standing behind the bar in an empty tavern. In the upper-right corner is a Coca-Cola®-branded calendar, with a picture of an attractive blonde lady with curls who I think is supposed to evoke the 50s.Screenshot from Parasite Eve II. In a store room, Aya finds a magnet shaped like a bottlecap with Coca-Cola® branding on it.Screenshot from Parasite Eve II. Aya is in a convenience mart and desperately wants to pick up a can of delicious Coca-Cola® but her inventory is full. There's also a Coca-Cola® sign above the cooler.

DoorDash on Instagram: We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable, and we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down.
We've reached a settlement with the City of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they are owed.

Here’s how the shitty technology adoption curve works: when you want to roll out a new, abusive technology, look for a group of vulnerable people whose complaints are roundly ignored and subject them to your bad idea. Sand the rough edges off on their bodies and lives. Normalize the technological abuse you seek to inflict.

Next: work your way up the privilege gradient. Maybe you start with prisoners, then work your way up to asylum seekers, parolees and mental patients. Then try it on kids and gig workers. Now, college students and blue collar workers. Climb that curve, bit by bit, until you’ve reached its apex and everyone is living with your shitty technology
