F*** yeah! Osmanthus soup time! 😵💀

Soy de una generación cuyos personajes de videojuegos eran cosas como estas, comprenderéis lo profundamente imbéciles que me parecen todos los llorones machistas que no se sienten identificados con la protagonista cuando es una mujer.

Anyway, I know it's all dreadful, but I am very happy this place exists, despite how sanctimonious it can be, and I always feel a meaningful kinship with the people on it.

Absolutely done with the whole "what's the point of Pride" narrative from certain folks. LGBTQIA+ community, especially trans and non-binary individuals, are facing relentless attacks on rights. Pride is important. The tie btw is incidental as was wearing it anyway for a separate thing I was doing.

Happy #PrideMonth from all of us at Archie Comics!

Sure as the sun rises and sets we will see people argue Pride Month is no longer needed. It is. Attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, especially for trans and non-binary individuals, are growing globally. Rights are being undermined constantly. It takes more than a month of pride, but that month is important.

Today I examined why Europe's Christian Democrats continue to parrot Trump and the tech bros in saying the EU should not regulate AI, even as the Pope says a failure to regulate would put humanity in danger.

My longest-standing professional hot take is that most people in esports do not understand video games, sports, or both.

This is a watershed moment in the history of #esports: an esports vocabulary project by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) has reached Draft International Standard (DIS) stage at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

In other words, fandoms are toxic.

Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

Great column by @theurbanshepherd.bsky.social on @theesportsadvocate.bsky.social I share the analysis, even if I think that we may have a final jumpscare as if we were living in a horror movie. esportsadvocate.net/2026/05/the-...

With its theme “When Times Get Darker, We Shine Brighter”, Pride was well-attended and went without much trouble.

Brussels, a metropolitan area with SUCH GOOD urban planning that - in order to avoid taking more space to cars - decides to build a metro in a millenia-known swamp.

On Eurovision, this year I go with Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain. The rest, ghouls or genocidal ghouls.

at its roots livestreaming was mostly about playing Counter-Strike and StarCraft at a very high level. now it’s a daily competition to see who can commit vehicular homicide first at the racism olympics

It’s added… NOW??? (That’s 16 years after Spain)

Solved! Thanks @theguardian.com

LOL, this the week of the Brussels Pride. Party poopers. 😜

The contestants for #Eurovision2026 are about to walk the #TurquoiseCarpet in Vienna. But for me and many other fans, the controversy now surrounding the contest is making us sit this year out. Here's why.

You mean against-genocide and pro-genocide demonstrations, surely. 🤔

EU support surges as 73% say membership benefits their country, while security fears from Ukraine and the Middle East dominate concerns.

It is not on voters to "suck it up because Reform will be worse". That argument only works if you are purely self interested and don't care if others suffer so you have a quiet life, which is not the case for many "progressive voters". It is on parties to appeal to voters. 3/4

Slightly diminish a film Quite Fast Quite Furious (Or alternatively, 1 Fast 1 Furious).

The unceremonious death of the Olympic Esports Games.

In the past 24 hours, Trump has threatened a trade war with the EU violating the terms of last year's surrender, and pulled troops out of Germany in retaliation for Iran. Europe needs to face reality. This is a rupture, not a transition. An entire governing system is collapsing.

Trans rights are inextricably linked to other groups rights. You cannot remove or attack trans rights without undermining an entire history of activism which has seen rights defended and progressed for others. There's a very good reason for the saying "Trans rights are human rights".

I wrote a bit a few days ago about "extreme centrism" and its harms which seems somewhat relevant here. Rentoul is providing a perfect example with his piece about "learning to love" Shabana Mahmood. Politics is largely about compromise, but there is a need for red lines. ko-fi.com/post/Extreme...

Influencing policy often involves working with people across political divides. There have to be red lines though, and sometimes the more extreme form of centrism, whereby everyone has to be "listened to", is just as harmful as any other extreme ideology. My latest piece ko-fi.com/post/Extreme...

With Orban gone the EU has now approved the 90 billion Euro loan to Ukraine and another package of sanctions on Russia. V good news.

The EU high court ruling doesn't just have implications for gay people in Hungary. Experts say the invocation of Article 2 of the 🇪🇺constitution (treaties) is "revolutionary" for citizens' rights against abuses by their governments.

it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth
