You mean there was a time when it was actually possible to cut finding to police departments?

I never played any of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. Is this how we get giant mutant Russian soldiers?

Trump isn't even a real billionaire. He pissed away his money ages ago, and with it, whatever goodwill he might have had with the Rich People's Club that keeps rich people immune from consequences. Not to mention he should have a reputation for stiffing everyone he offers to pay for things, so...

I think the customary thing to say here is "shots fired" but I feel like that would be easily misinterpreted in this situation.

This comes up a lot in the retro-computing world—naturally—and a few years ago someone hit on the idea of just putting the stuff out in the sun with no chemicals at all. It works, though it takes longer than the peroxide method. Here's the needlessly-long and needlessly-meandering video that...

"Switched" isn't quite the word, as I'd never voted in a primary before that. The only primary where I might conceivably have been invested enough in the outcome was 2004, and I think that was a few months before I was actually registered to vote.

I thought he fled to the Philippines years ago.

Everyone has pronouns except Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla.

The first movie opened with kid-Sonic being chased by echidnas, so unless they specifically died out in the interim, they're still around.

I wonder how things work in states with true open primaries. Ohio is considered a hybrid because, during the primaries, you have to specifically say which ballot you want to fill out—Democrat, Republican, or neither for just the issues (referendums) that are up for vote that year. And then they...

Stealing stuff is what they do. It's becoming increasingly clear to me that these dudes are the hacker equivalent of Sovereign Citizens, not so much in the sense of genuinely believing that governments and their laws are all invalid, but in the sense that they no longer apply to those clever...

Here's a wild thing that just happened: Someone tried to put together a thing that makes NFTs of Magic: The Gathering cards, apparently with the intention of giving people a way to play it online but still have the artificial scarcity associated with physical card packs. Thing is, they did this...

Spotted on the interwebs today: "NFTs are basically what would happen if TinyURL was a Captain Planet villain."

I guess it all depends on the war in question, and also who's running it. I have said before that if a real war ever broke out between fascists and anti-fascists here within the States, I would be rushing to enlist on the good guys' side. Lord knows I haven't done anything else worthwhile with...

This argument comes up every time Congress cooks up a terrible bill, but honestly this is pretty common, has been going on longer than most of us have been alive, and both sides do it. Remember the COVFEFE Act? The idea that the time and effort taken to give a bill a clever name is a waste is a...

Oh hey, turns out the founders of the Bored Ape Yacht Club are literal Nazis

And the only reason people buy that excuse is that everyone knows Florida's schools are currently garbage at teaching those things, because he and his predecessors have spent the past half century or more defunding them.

I mean... yeah. The cops actually did their damn jobs because they didn't have the head of state explicitly telling them not to.

Something something natural selection. Saying every dumb and/or awful thing that's on their mind has ceased to have any consequences, thus they've stopped learning not to do it.

How much you wanna bet they're mostly dying in solid-red areas and it's not actually going to affect the elections at all.
