btw, the 65% turnout last election was considered very high turnout for the US. I'd also like to point out that of those, our current president only got 49.9% of that vote (which is 32.4% of voters) Of the total US population, that means our current president was elected by only 19% of the pop

So how do we elect our president? We fucking don't. We elect a smaller amount of people who choose other people to pick the president, with no real serious safeguards.

There's also this neat unspoken rule where they go by the popular vote. They don't have. A few states fine them if they don't, and it's very affordable usually. A couple states have big fines, like 10k+

So how do we choose the president? Well first we elect Representitives and Senators. Then we assign each state a vote based on how many reps/senators they have. Then each state has a different, sometimes unclear ways to choose electors The electors decide for us.

Folks outside the US might wonder "How did Americans manage to pick their president?" and the answer is way more complex then it should be. Only 76% of our eligible pop is registered Of those, only 65% of that 76% voted None of that matters because we don't elect presidents on popular votes.

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

"Hey what if we run candidates on both sides and inject tons of money to make sure they win their Primaries so we get our corrupt shit pushed thru no matter what?" Thats the kind of shit thats happened with Citizens United. Thats also why Primaries are insanely important.

"But they need to lean right to won their districts! That's how Dems win! Vote blue no matter who!" Okay. But electing a republican whos cosplaying as Dem is going to get us right wing policies. At that point its not different then electing the republican.

I think our guild had a successful run in S1 of Midnight, and I'm always shocked that we've managed to keep the raid groups going without recruiting. My partner and I have an incredibly deep network of friends that we've built over our 20 years of playing WoW that we've been working with.

This is why I feel its incredibly important not to make fun of people who dont understand politics, and to educate them instead. Once you do, they'll understand why you need to get corporate lapdogs primaried and vote accordingly 😁

Primaries are completely separate from the main elections and do not determine who gets to hold office. This may be incredibly obvious to a lot of us, but theres a lot of folks who dont know this because they, like many Americans, are apolitical until something impacts them in a major way.

I saw someone make the comment "would you rather we vote republican?!" in response to a big acct suggesting we vote against corporate dems in their primary. Thats not how that works. Youre voting for the candidate to take on the Republican.

Trukaduk @trukaduk.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
Been lurking a lot lately. One thing I keep seeing is a lot of folks making comments indicating that they dont know how Primaries work. Primaries are how each party decides who to run against the other. Dems and Republicans run separate Primaries.

Lmao they just copy pasted the entire LLM's response without proofreading
A "news" headline (I put it in quotes because it's an ai generated article) where the editor forgot to remove the part of the LLM's response. "Here’s a revised version of your headline for a science magazine post: “After Years of Searching, We Discovered ‘The Heaven Sword’ — East Asia’s Tallest Tree”"

i really want to go over the times i've seen AI used at Blizz (particularly WoW since that's what I'm familiar with obviously) because i feel people just throw around the term for "things i don't like". the vast majority of cases i've seen certain people say shit haven't AI at all
keyboardturner:
The times I've seen "Blizzard" use AI were outsourced teams that do it on an individual level rather than a team level. I think certain ads (particularly hearthstone) comes to mind? I think one of the pixel art card guys they hired did so too. And of course customer support tickets sometimes (I think their automated tickets and overall responses are not the greatest to begin with atm though)
Also I think one of the Chinese website things used AI (or an AI filter) on some card texture models for midnight characters on some specific web page, which could be a similar outsourcing situation.
I've never seen actual genAI applied in the game. There was a patent paper they wrote about making a homebrew gen AI that did ground textures baking to make repeating ground textures less monotonous, but also no idea if that was ever implemented (this was back in early Dragonflight).
Many of their other areas seem to be pretty against gen AI. Their artists and devs seem to largely be against it. The english social media team (eric for example) are pretty against it. I think some of the higher ups like Ion may have mentioned something about not using it? I've seen one of the music composers speak out about disliking it before. Like there's so many sources I've seen of employees disliking AI it's kind of hard to believe that anyone could actually get away with it in any sort of group setting. They'd really have to be some truly independent thing or something outsourced

A meme with the text "Repost this if Trans people should have Samus Arm Cannons." In the top left is a 3D render of Samus Aran's (from the Metroid games) arm cannon on a strip of trans flag colours. Along the bottom are five illustrated diverse people, some wearing trans pride flags as capes, and all wielding matching arm cannons. The person in the center holds up a large transgender pride flag.

Sorry. Ranting. So much going on lately, and on top of that I'm trying to organize three raid groups for the xpac. Schedule changed so if I want to raid I have to found another one. But I'm also co-gm so I have to make sure the main one stays viable too.

Now he can also get out of his fake promise to hand out "tariff dividend checks" to the people. He can tell his base "the dems fought against it and took your money." And they'll eat it up. After all, it couldn't be their fault that they're struggling.
