“All of Germany hears the Führer with the People’s Receiver.”
This is what Trump and Musk are doing with social media. Nakedly. Openly.
“All of Germany hears the Führer with the People’s Receiver.”
This is what Trump and Musk are doing with social media. Nakedly. Openly.
Germany’s ambassador to the US has warned that Trump is a dangerous autocrat and our democracy is in extreme danger. We’re a threat to Europe and to world peace.
Chinese apps (Tiktok, Marvel Snap, etc…) blocked the US pre-emptively to boost Trump.
This is part of a tit-for-tat economic mini-war. They’ll “concede” some of these companies to the US (i.e., to Trump’s tech billionaire buddies) and then invade Taiwan with a free hand in return.

Metacontext: Post-Post-Modernism in Games Saturday
The 39 Games You Must Play Sunday
I don’t think a lot of people, even smart progressive people, fully understand the extreme danger we are in as Trump and the Republicans take power.
We are a short step from losing democracy forever.
The perfect side for None Pizza with Left Beef
As of today, the GeekNights archive is 725GB.
Don’t tolerate the vile opinions of your Republican relatives. Don’t smile and nod. Don’t let them speak their cruelty in your presence.
“Letting it go” in the name of avoiding conflict is how Trump, cruelty, and misinformation won 2024.

How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days
Pay attention America.
Tim Cook is no better than any Nazi collaborator.
Donating to Trump’s inauguration is a complete capitulation.
It’s morally necessary to cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel Amazon Prime while you’re at it. Quit Twitter. Key a cybertruck if you see one.
The billionaire class is siding with the Republican fascists to end democracy.
Time to watch the Rangers (lose)!
GeekNights is about to go LIVE!
Talking about Terminals!
Jimmy Carter was our greatest president.
Catching up on my seasonal photo albums. Here’s last winter!
GeekNights will be live at 5:40pm ET talking about fear. Things we are afraid of.
Without colonies to consume, capitalism turns inward and eats the society it supported.
Colonists ate the entire world for it. And now it’s eating every remaining social structure in every industrialized nation.
We are in a dangerous time. We need leadership that is rational. In every democratic country.
GeekNights will be live at 8pm ET tonight!
Talking about Drones.
When you use an AI Assistant to write, it’s obvious. You cede your own voice to the model, and you sound identical to everyone else using these assistants.
You all sound the same. You turn into background noise.
Ew. Youtube is “suggesting” comments I can make to increase “engagement.”
Honestly? Block people who type generic crap like this. Even if they aren’t using AI to write it, it’s still just the pablum of the Internet. It’s like a real human failing the Turing Test.
To answer a question we keep getting after our talk at PAX Unplugged.
