Ooops, I think I accidentally pinged someone.... My bad!

True, but I feel like I missed an opportunity for happiness like this. I hope I'm wrong, but still...

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office: "Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

I been thinking of games that could get a recomp and one that stuck to my mind: Splatterhouse for the PS4 and X360. It COULD have been a better game if it was better polished and wasn't rushed out the door. It was the last game of the series that killed it off for Bandi/Namco. A recomp could fix it.

This is from HR 7661, calling itself the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. This must not pass.

The plans....

I have a thread where I am compiling resources and instructions for both tabs people in Kansas and people who want to help I’d love a boost 💕 bsky.app/profile/hyen...

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

A huge problem is that this is the first skeet I've seen on my timeline this morning to reference HR7661 as something other than "this bill". People cannot contact their reps about "this bill" - they need the number. Anyway here's a handy script if you don't know what to say when you call.

#IndieAnimationDay Share your indie animated project that took More Than A Year to make! (does not have to be finished)

I hope all you ppl saying “indie forever!!” actually retweet+fund these fucking projects

Corporations will not save us. They never were going to. We are on our own and therein lies an opportunity for us. Make something. Make yourself proud first. And then invite your friends or people you trust and trust you. Hollywood's time is over. We have only ourselves to depend on and entertain.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The Yetee is reselling one of their best designs to raise money for the Transgender Law Center. Go support a good cause and get an awesome shirt. TRANS RIGHTS

OREGON: Suzanne is on this list and she's a mess. She's a hypocrite who says she stands for "digital privacy" but has been going hard for KOSA. I want you to make her phone blow up with how pissed you are about this bill and how pissed you are at her response to bills like KOSA. CALL. 202-225-0855

Man, I have a lot of words to say about the current climate but it's hard to put it into words. In short: Things sucks, wish to move to a much stabler country. No where to go, no idea how.

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Kids Online Safety Act is a front for digital surveillance. Tell parents to raise their own kids and set up parental controls themselves, it’s not that hard.

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

A post on that other site inspired me to make a new safety tool. By default, Discord enables the "Use External Apps" permission for EVERYONE. I'm willing to bet that most servers don't even know that they're at risk. Audit your servers. Remove this dangerous permission. sery.bot/discordaudit/

Boosting this now. Call your reps ASAP. Acts like KOSA, Screen, and repealing Section 230 will only bring greater harm to everyone online, including children. The US government does NOT get to dictate our speech or violate our privacy. #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA #StopDigitalID #StopAgeVerification

This is extremely dangerous for those who use wish lists for organization & mutual aid. Please share far & wide.

gofund.me/4c41b5d65 So in bright news, Ludovic has finally been able to talk to his lawyer, and they're saying the lawyer will be in front of the judge tomorrow so they're hoping to have positive news tomorrow evening. Also, the funding smashed past its initial $16K goal!

It's literally the "we are still doing it but now we would like you to be less mad about it." post. After 3 backdowns that didn't even back down they pull out another BIG puppy eyed SUPER sorry backdown that ALSO doesn't back down. No. You've fuckied your last wucky, UwU. bsky.app/profile/teal...

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

Coms are back open again. Currently 2 slots are open and rent is nearly due. So message me on Discord if you want something.

What's even funnier about this is they legitimately slandered Persona as a company in the most condescending tone imaginable. They really *are* tone-deaf if they think this slop is acceptable Mr Discordman, just explain your processes bro, come on tell us how your shit's gonna work

>credit card verification so you admit that biometric verification is largely superfluous, overly invasive and also completely unnecessary as it yields no immediate benefits over other kinds of identity verification. so... why are you still pushing biometric verification lmao (i know why)

I'll post it every day if I have to Stop KOSA Cancel Nitro Look for Discord alternatives Protect Section 230 Our free and open internet's counting on you all to protect it from being a safe haven for bigots and AI age verification laws.

you should keep drying up their user revenue source in the middle of trying to take the company public

Deep breaths. Remind yourself that the people who wrote the House and Senate versions of #KOSA fundamentally disagree. Further deep breaths. If you hate talking on the phone, write a script for yourself to read before you call.

All those Discord alternatives that y'all are trying to push (Stoat, Matrix, Fluxer, Root, etc.) will have to comply with this as well if we don't stop this. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES EVERY DAY & TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON KOSA, SCREEN Act, & ANY OTHER INTERNET CENSORSHIP BILLS!

Again, this is the end goal of every and all age verification bullshit, it has never been about protecting children. It was never going to be "local only" do not trust corporations or the governments with these ID laws.

Discord made an announcement addressing the ID verification. Summary: "We are postponing, but slowly outputting the ID scan so we hope you forget & resub with Nitro when we sneak it in!" You will see articles saying its fully backtracked IT IS NOT! Postpone =/= canceled! DO NOT resub your NITRO!

There's been developments and we've been saddled with some debt I have to help with, if you like my art please consider getting something or sharing this, either one helps. #Art #Commission

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Seeing more Bluesky vs Twitter discourse going around again

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.
