Yay! #Frostyfest in #Splatoon 3 is off to an epic start. Joined Team Friends and been killing it. For the first time since Grand Fest I actually won a 100x battle. After so many heartbreakers I got a win. Whatever happens the rest of the #Splatfest I'm happy. Thanks fellow night owl friends.

alright, i've adjusted the amount on my GFM for what i actually need to get the government off my back. i tried doing what i could, was given misinformation and they've sent it to collections. please share anywhere and everywhere 🖤 www.gofundme.com/f/tgufek-deb... | #mutualaid

I’ve already talked to YouTube Partner Support so this is NOT a “get your pitchforks” post: A viewer sent us a screenshot that shows YouTube claiming one of our videos is AI, which I find insulting *at best*, and damaging to our brand at worst. For the record, all our work is human-made.

this bears repeating: Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people. Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet. The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood

Reminder: LEGALLY, paypal does not need to know what you sell. Paypal has nothing to do with your business or its transactions. Its only purpose is money transferal. However they will try to snoop into your business as much as they can. DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY DETAILS OF YOUR WORK ON PAYPAL!!

Remember if you have the time and energy, take a moment to make some phone calls and encourage those around you to do so as well!

It's official: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. It may take years of organizing to rebuild what the Trump regime has demolished. That fight starts now: https://www.freepress.net/news/end-corporation-public-broadcasting-must-rebuild-americas-public-media-system

Drink some water. Go for a walk. Put your phone down. No amount of doom scrolling is going to make things better. If you want to do something, make a plan to protest and call your representatives. Dont run your nervous system ragged on socials rn

AI PIXEL ART AND HOW TO DETECT THEM I have updated the link for the write-up and added more paragraphs with new findings. Please click the link to read it. Share it with your friends who also dislike AI! Thanks to everyone who helped. drive.google.com/file/d/1bxDm...

1. try not to post things that will get you arrested 2. try not to post things that will make your friends want to off themselves

“What did I do on NYE? Oh, I spent 1.5 hours decorating two cookies to make a niche joke that will horrify and delight a variety of strangers on the internet. How about you?”

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

After a year of off and on shiny hunting Cobalion and Raikou in both Omega Ruby and Pokemon GO both of them showed up for me in Omega Ruby today, within a couple hours of each other. Not a bad way to end the year. Guess the RNG gods finally decided to give me break.

THE THING HAPPENED

We might be seeing a growth spurt on BSky right now, but the bottom is exactly what is going to happen to those just joining and who will go back to Twitter and those who are staying there.

👹 👻 🎅 🎄 (2/2) #erma #christmas #webcomic

Remember, Marsha Blackburn introduced KOSA to “stop the transgender in our culture.” KOSA is a tool to bludgeon free expression and erase LGTBQ people. It is not about kids safety at all.

i have 3 desires on this earth: 1. the liberation and emancipation of all working people 2. thriving indie media landscape where people can make cool niche art 3. kiss wife kiss wife kiss wife

"This is just like when the USSR locked up all of the propagandists and assassins we sent to destabilize their country right after they won World War II for us. We've become evil just like those dirty communists we keep having to violently stop from lifting people out of poverty!"

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

If people don't raise an uproar about this, I do not have full faith the online communities we're in will survive. Use the site. Sign the petitions, call your representatives. get mad and be firm. Demand they oppose these things. And tell everyone you know to do the same. www.badinternetbills.com

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

You call now If you think "I wish i could help" or "I cant do that", you can. You are human, you have a voice, you can do it. Use the site, the process is made for you, you need to get this done so we can all win.

If you know anyone in these states who cares about the right to protest, they need to ROAST the cosponsors of SB 3546, the Section 230 repeal: - Rhode Island (Sen Whitehouse) - Vermont (Sen Welch) - Minnesota (Sen Klobuchar) - Connecticut (Sen Blumenthal) www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Breaking: New bipartisan bill would make 2026 the year online protest organizing dies. Dems and R’s alike have just indicated they plan to end the first amendment of the Internet next year. Our statement: fightforthefuture.org/news/2025-12...

This will allow people who want to erase LGBTQ+ people from public life the freedom to succeed their horrific plans without blacklash.

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?" Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie. It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such. It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

I wrote about the unprecedented mass censorship and surveillance laws that Congress is trying to ram through in the name of “protecting kids” and how none of this is about protecting kids. In fact, these laws cause great harm to all of us, for @zeteo.com

"Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money. And they don’t care about the games. They don’t care about the art. They just want their money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social

Meanwhile, 2,900 billionaires hold 4x the wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, which is over 4 billion people.

remember your calls have worked as @fightforthefuture.org has even said we got 10 dems to oppose kosa for good or bad reasons that's more then we expected but it shows our calls have power so keep calling and keep fighting!

she needs another plasma transfusion because she is vomiting blood and destabilized and i haven’t made it to her. i have explained how people can help me find resources and a lifeline. Fucking blast this post and help. I will detail more asap. help me save my sister’s life. Please give a shit. You

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

The evil of this world is abhorrent and tragic, yes. But it's also very stupid and can be relentlessly mocked.

Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online. Tell your representative to protect the First Amendment and vote NO.

They also plan to pass laws banning use of VPNs. If you're a healthcare provider using telehealth, you use VPNs to protect patient private data and ensure the network is secure. KOSA threatens so much in terms of accessibility unrelated to stopping children from accessing adult websites

@fightforthefuture.org www.badinternetbills.com Tell them to OPPOSE these god awful bills

RED ALERT The House Energy & Commerce committee is moving full steam ahead for several age verification bills including KOSA this Thursday We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com
