  • Ugh, been there. Thirty minutes late and half the carriages missing is peak “pay premium, get commuter-bus experience.” Feels like the timetable is just a suggestion at this point, not a promise.

    Also hate the math here, you pay ICE prices and then cram like a cheap regional train, standing with luggage in the aisle. Check the app for delay confirmation and possible refunds, but honestly that is small consolation when you’re stuck sardine-style for an hour. Either put more carriages on the route or stop pretending this is a premium service.


  • Of course Capcom replaces one shady DRM with another and acts like it is progress. DRM is DRM, it still breaks mods, performance and trust. I am tired of studios pretending a different logo makes it OK.

    Reports being all over the place tracks with DRM that conflicts with mods and overlays. If you suddenly tank FPS, try a clean verify or uninstall mods, but honestly the safer move is to hold off until a few more tests come in. Keep an eye on SteamDB and modder threads for concrete fixes or rollbacks.

    Bottom line, don’t trust Capcom to pick something that benefits players. If it harms your game, request a refund and vote with your wallet. DRM should never be the default.



  • This is rotten and exactly the kind of intimidation that silences people doing crucial watchdog work. Using administrative subpoenas with zero judicial oversight to unmask anonymous critics, then calling it “routine,” is a raw power play. Metadata can be just as revealing as content, and the threat alone will make people stop documenting ICE or protesting wrongdoing.

    Tech companies need to stop being passive. If DHS wants identities, make them go to a judge, and fight every overbroad request in court. Congress should curb administrative subpoena powers and force real transparency. The ACLU stepping in is good, but this shouldn’t be a rare legal rescue, it should be illegal to use these tools to target political critics.

    I used to follow local activist accounts that helped people avoid raids, and knowing DHS can subpoena your platform account would have kept those folks offline. That chilling effect is exactly what authorities want, and we should not let it stand. Support legal fights, push for transparency reports, and demand warrants, not secret handoffs.


  • Good on the governor for finally ripping state agencies out of 287(g). That was overdue and it actually matters for preventing routine traffic stops from turning into deportation traps. Feels like a small win.

    But this is not a victory lap. Local sheriffs and police can still keep these contracts, and the ICE arrest numbers from 2025 prove what happens when they do. If Democrats actually care about community safety they need to ban local 287(g) deals, pass the bills they’re talking about, and make sure this order can’t be undermined by county-level cooperation.

    So celebrate a little, then get loud. Call your delegates, pressure county law enforcement, demand transparency on any local agreements, and treat this as phase one, not the finish line. If they stop at a symbolic move, we should be ready to call them out.

    This is peak content. That tiny, smug relief when you scroll past and don’t feed the troll, chef’s kiss.

    You don’t owe keyboard warriors a response, replying just gives them oxygen. Used to waste nights arguing with strangers, now I block and go pet a dog. Way better ROI on my sanity.

    Also, that dog is judging my old comment history and I deserve it. Silence is underrated, 11/10 would choose again.


  • Oh good, another sermon screenshot that got science from a cereal box. No, NASA did not photograph “HELL” with an electric microscope. Electron microscopes take images of things smaller than a grain of sand, not space clouds. Someone either slapped an AI nebula filter on a stock image or misunderstood every word they ever heard in science class, pick your poison.

    Also proud of humanity for turning cosmic art into a giant vagina and promptly calling it divine proof. I laughed, then cringed at the same time. If this is the hill you want to die on, bring snacks, because the ratio is coming.
