CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY: A. You post an innocuous opinion on twitter. It sparks a months long discourse cycle ending in death threats, bans and generational trauma. B. You post an innocuous opinion on bsky. Nothing bad happens here but it DOES get screenshotted and posted on twitter, resulting in A.

"The message is clear: looking wrong to a conservative, speaking wrong to a conservative man, not bowing and scraping to conservatives, or even just loving the 'wrong' gender, means you are an enemy. An enemy that should be put down."

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

Day one: we are reinventing the news Day 10: I need alcohol to be on television

Last night I watched 6 hours of antiwoke gamer YouTube videos and my thoughts are that I hink these people and their audience should be put into a shipping container and dropped into the bottom of the ocean

Media Thread 2026: I started this on bird app, but since I currently can’t update it as of the time I’m writing this, I’m also gonna do it here. To start, here’s a tier list of my top 100 albums as of January 1st, 2026

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

The right's reaction to giving a grieving family a million dollars vs. their reaction to giving a white girl who called a black child the n word at a playground a million dollars

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

The tactic of 'harass them constantly in public and in the media' is exactly what has been used to hound trans people out of public life despite no wrongdoing at all. It would be refreshing to see hate mobs turned on people who deserve it.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

But bluesky is boring

Is triple A gaming going to endlessly shift between “Dragon Age: The Veilguard has LGBTQ themes please buy our game” (toothless writing when it comes to marginalized / queer characters) and entering “we won’t have non binary operators in the next CoD, please buy our game” (it still sucks)

hacking the US or leaking inside info may be scary, but you know what's even scarier? war do the right thing. use ur skills, use ur knowledge.

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

Happy New Year!

the opening of high school musical happened exactly 20 years ago as of tonight. this is so fucked

I will never understand why they replaced community submitted subtitles for this nonsense Real human people were happy and willing to make subtitles in a variety of languages for free, and the creator had full control of what submissions were used And they GOT RID OF IT

mfw watching "people over profits" become the slogan of people who want to help Nazis create the new cyber-panopticon where you have to surrender identification in order to use the internet at all while labouring under the delusion that this will somehow screw Big Tech

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"

oh we’re never going to see this story about the horrors people face in CECOT in el salvador come out are we. part of the justification is that it’s two months late to the story? yet she did the town hall with erika kirk 3 months after he was killed? come on now

Rest in Power Tortuguita

i’m just going to assume the 90% of pages that they blacked out is ONLY donald trump

the most transparent administration in history

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

Netflix' deal with DreamWorks lapsed on hosting-they do not actually own it. Please be mad at Netflix (they suck!) but it misses the forest for the trees: She-Ra has no physical release for seasons 4 and 5 DreamWorks either finds a new streaming service or you cannot legally watch those seasons

This reads like a pitchbot gag

These betting sites are really getting out of hand.

oh yeah baby, its that time of year again. its the Check Wario64 Every Half Hour Or So Awards

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

"kids behave, your grandmother wants a fucking picture this year and we don't know how many more Christmases she has left!"
