Its a mixed bag - I have hundreds of lego sets that i have for collecting, storing and displaying - but i also have scores of pounds of just random lego blocks in storage tubs for free building. when we have gatherings i bring the tubs and just let people sit down and dig through and start building. the custom sets keep lego on their toes and they make new molds and designs and it expands into more spaces. how many toys do you have from the 1960's that you can still play with that are compatible with a toy you get on the shelf in 2025?

...and that Steam continues to respect its community. I've had my steam account for 25 years now and no other company comes close. If ANY other platform had been in charge, shittification would have ended it already. Steam is the opposite of a monopoly; its how i want all my online experiences to be.

Submission + - Fifteen Years Later, Citizens United Defined the 2024 Election (brennancenter.org)

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: The influence of wealthy donors and dark money was unprecedented. Much of it would have been illegal before the Supreme Court swept away long-established campaign finance rules. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court’s controversial 2010 decision that swept away more than a century’s worth of campaign finance safeguards, turns 15 this month. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called it the worst ruling of her time on the Court. Overwhelming majorities of Americans have consistently expressed disapproval of the ruling, with at least 22 states and hundreds of cities voting to support a constitutional amendment to overturn it. Citizens United reshaped political campaigns in profound ways, giving corporations and billionaire-funded super PACs a central role in U.S. elections and making untraceable dark money a major force in politics. And yet it may only be now, in the aftermath of the 2024 election, that we can begin to understand the full impact of the decision.
