Burnout on games and more, much in flux.

Though drained & diminished, Incidentally & Perhaps still a/the peak source for Happenings & Intrigues when it comes to Roguelikes/RPGs/etc in English, as I sense them.

Anime, Donghua, Politics, Current Events...my feed is deeply chaotic as per long storied tradition.

I wrote a little bit about the ongoing anti-trans pogrom in America, in light of a 6-3 fascist dominated Supreme Court ruling upholding a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for trans youth. While everyone agrees that this is a horrible decision that will definitely result in more dead trans kids, a lot of folks are relieved that at least the Roberts Court didn't directly legalize anti-trans discrimination. I'm less sure; the vagueness and disingenuous logic of the fascist majority's ruling in theory can be replicated over and over to deny rights to trans people while pretending the laws you write have nothing to do with trans people at all. Furthermore, this pattern is likely replicable to target other marginalized or disadvantaged groups the fascists want to isolate and repress; particularly I fear, in the context of women's rights and patriarchal domination.

On Pogroms, Trans Youth, and the Supreme Court

"This is all basically crass prejudice and transphobic fuckery, delivered by the Roberts 6-3 fascist dominated court with the thinnest veneer of legality and a poison smile towards trans people, and in particular trans youth, in America. The devil is however in the details as always, and it’s ultimately the disingenuous, circular logic employed by the court majority that represents perhaps the greatest danger to equal protection law in the modern history of this country. How exactly do you argue a ban on gender affirming care for trans kids whose drafters specifically state the purpose of the law is to “encourage minors to appreciate their sex,” neither targets transgender people specifically, nor qualifies for sex-based classification? Well if you’re John Roberts, you repurpose some of the worst obsolete rulings in legal history to argue that trans people are not the droids you’re looking for."

Cosmoe, BeOS/Haiku on Linux, returns from 18 year hiatus

It's 2025, and we're going to talk about BeOS, AtheOS, Cosmoe, and OpenBeOS, all in one news item, right here, right now, on OSNews.

In the very early 2000s, Cosmoe was a unique project that started out as a merger of the AtheOS userland with the Linux kernel. AtheOS, in turn, was one of the quintessential hobby operating sy

@worthlessbums CNN Lite as their last, faded vestige as they seek to fall to something worse or even more marginally better than MSNBC.

I got a phone call close to midnight, after crashing out in defeat at 9'ish last night, which I only found out after it ended given my immediate response was a scramble that it must've been some kind of emergency.

It was family friend complaining about some ground turkey that didn't cook right and them repeating some dumbasses they saw on FB comments about how it was FAKE MEAT, as if the farmer's market did some switcheroo with far more pricey Beyond whatever incarnations.

I eventually got back to sleep as I knew blowing my top in the moment would prevent that Fully.

I'll leave it to your imagination as to how today has gone...absolutely going to bed even earlier tonight. :/

This may shock you but these nazis really do just hate trans ppl, brown folks, autistic folks, women, umm, apparently children. The fascism is the point, and not everything is about gaining a marginal polling advantage for the midterms 18 months out and owning Chuck Schumer like a rental property.

Newsflash, you fuckers are gonna blow it anyway because you've already decided that your REAL job is to squash your own left after losing an election because you ran way too far right.

Kay, lib journalists, I'm sorry but this is for your own good:

putting a kibosh on all uses of the words "distraction" and "pretext" until you folks figure out that all this fascism is actually the point and there's no need to "distract" a Democratic Party that's not really fighting fascism because they're too busy fucking over anyone left of Otto von Bismarck in the ongoing internal party 26-28 platform struggle.

I mean I have a problem with the intifada conversation because like, factually the progressives and Middle Eastern studies professors are of course right; the word simply means "struggle" and that is why Mamdani answered that way; not that anyone smearing him cares that he's right.

That having been said tho, I just don't have the patience for pearl-clutching conversations with cracker colonialists who have a state enforce MONOPOLY on coercive violence, about the "violence" of the oppressed.
