You've not experienced Avenue Q until you've seen it in the original World of Warcraft machinima.

"Software engineer" will be a thing when it's licensed by the state. Until then, we're all just glorified cowboy-coders with no accountability.

(Speaking as computer programmer with an EIT in a different field.)

He's fucking 75 years old. There shouldn't be anything left of his career!

The point is to elect a democrat the voting public as a whole can support, and that's not a status-quo liberal when half the reason Trump got in the first time was that people were so desperate for change they were willing to roll the dice on a conman.

Progressives or socialists are the right choice precisely because they appeal to people otherwise dissilusioned with the Democrats.

Remember this scene in Ratatouille where Colette talks about the sordid pasts of the kitchen staff? Now consider that that was bowdlerized for a kids' movie, compared to reality.

Kyle Herman, Chair of the Pride Caucus, summarized the room’s frustration: “I am disappointed at how this was handled. I hoped to get clarification that could let us say, ‘See, Acton cares.’ This wasn’t it.

Oh, he got clarification, all right. Just some much more negative than he hoped for.

But let's be real here. The #1 disqualifying trait of HRC and Harris was their obvious lack of external genetalia.

Okay, I'll be real: that's a blatant fucking lie designed to try to shift blame away from liberals' failed policy platform.

There won't be any incumbents in 2028.

Or at least, there sure as Hell aren't supposed to be!

She only lost because of the backward shit that is the Electoral College.

That and her milquetoast neoliberalism that stopped enough people from being excited about her to overcome the EC disadvantage.

A well researched and referenced video (see yt description for references and spreadsheets), from Sharath of Building Beautifully.

The cost of building transit in the Anglosphere has spiralled out of control. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong are all terrible at managing transit costs. Meanwhile, nations like France, Spain, South Korea and Turkey are running laps around the Anglosphere, building world-class transit at unprecedented speeds for prices up to four times cheaper. There is no reason for building transit to cost this much. Follow me as we unpack the staggering reasons that costs have spiralled out of control, and what we can do about it. Thank you to Jedwin Mok for appearing in this video! Jedwin introduced me to the transit costs crisis in mid-2025, which led me to ultimately create this video and interview him for it.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.
