Donald Trump promised to free a major drug trafficker tonight. Think anyone in the media will bother to ask his bootlicker endorsers in the Fraternal Order of Police how they feel about this? Will the media even cover that Trump is promising to pardon a major drug and sex trafficker?

Girl with peanut allergy ‘thrown off flight by captain’ via @darnell (Flipboard) 📰 https://www.yahoo.com/news/girl-peanut-allergy-thrown-off-144929061.html

@darnell @darnell That is messed up. Although I do question why the family needed to prevent everyone from eating anything that could have nuts instead of simply wearing a mask. An N95 can easily block peanut dust. We are not talking about some type of microscopic virus. Regardless, the captain was out of line.

I think Activision has been just as consequential to gaming as Nintendo.

Perhaps more so, in fact. They popularized the notion of 3rd party publishing.

@atomicpoet I’m curious, are pinball machines and their arcade game predecessors considered by the gaming community as part of the video game lineage? Or does the gaming community view the history of video games as only going back to the dawn of the computer age?

@atomicpoet I realize this is probably a lot like asking if games are sports. But growing up with video arcades that included space invaders, asteroids, pac man, and pinball machines, they all seem to be connected to me. Video game consoles were just an evolution from PC gaming, which were an evolution from arcades.

@atomicpoet I guess I am asking as I don’t often see people who talk about retro gaming also talk about the pre-computer era.

Going after the libertarians is a sign that Trump’s shit is getting very messy.

@Green_Footballs The interesting thing is it gives permission for the media to cover the libertarian candidates just as much as they cover RFK. I doubt they will give them any oxygen, but it could end up undermining Trump.

“War” my ass.

@StillIRise1963 pretty much how I feel every Memorial Day weekend. A holiday meant to remember those lost to war, and instead we use it to glorify and venerate. Somehow perpetuating that which we should be seeking to avoid.

“We see you haven’t voted yet. Your voting record is public,” a recent mailer to Texas Republicans says. “Your neighbors are watching and will know if you miss this critical runoff election. We will notify President Trump if you don’t vote. You can’t afford to have that on your record.”

The thing about a "strong" "leader"? Eventually you'll be the one targeted when things get desperate enough. No matter how much you think you are the kind of person who wouldn't be.

@futurebird you’re not wrong, but this tactic didn’t start with Trump. I don’t know when the first research came out that social pressure was a strong GOTV motivator, but 20 years ago when I was still doing campaigns the big GOTV operations were sending similar letters.

whenever i see a new little open hardware thing, i immediately begin the game of "are you actually a little indie guy, or are you an established company pretending to be a little guy?"

always a true delight to discover it's truly the former

@jacqueline ooh, I play this same game, but with craft beer.
