BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

A) we don't own anything now B) the stuff we don't own doesn't work and can be taken away at a moments notice

"seeing it stripped of its meaning actually makes me a little sad. If there’s anything insulting about being called unc, it’s the kind of insult that’s meant to bring people closer together, not reinforce an artificial boundary between generations."

can confirm ive been on blacksky which works throughout the outage, its extremely impressive even if the other feeds dont work

Idk everyone's talking about Bluesky being down but I haven't had a single issue with Blacksky all day 🤷🏾

idk, [Person who's dedicated 10+ years of their life to this one topic, idea or area of research], my mutual dogfart69(.)bsky.social makes a compelling case to the contrary.

Also, being real, build your own site. Get your own domain. Build your own page. Own it. And have directives that if something happens to you, it will continue on. Also support @archive.org.

NEW SINGLE: PhantomaOS - Advanced Computer System @aurahack.ca & i made a theme for the cocoon android frontend!! i wrote the background music, like days of the past....... when system's had cool little tunes to vibe to inspired by, you know, those! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlEh...

Sharing some #portfolioday ensemble pieces for you, because they’re fun to see all together and it’s about the people, innit🙌💕

Anarchy == no hierarchy Anarchy != chaos & disarray

Perhaps there's an overdue analysis to be had regarding new independent media platforms & their default to whiteness. Maybe not today, maybe tomorrow. Who knows

Be Yourself. 🪽

I say this all the time after a night of drawing 🫴🩹

Hit Master Ball rank in Champions!! Ayyyy. Been using Aerodactyl a bit and it's working out well!

An atproto browser makes this easier to pitch and explain in my experience. things like webtil.es could make atproto more legible to folks and provide a clear value difference. "Join a community -> stream/go live, etc" in 1 app @stream.place in Blacksky demo as an example

ATproto is a way to show ownership of thing you've made online. Do you post a lot? Cool. Here are all the posts you've made. Show them on Bluesky. Do you blog a lot? Cool. Here are all the blogs you've made. Show them on Leaflet. Do you stream a lot? Cool. Show them on Stream.Place

Well hey if anyone's interested in a not cancelled animated film about girls being friends and doing cool stuff, Dreamworks' "Forgotten Island" drops this year Set in the 90s, two childhood friends afraid they'll grow apart, they end up on an adventure in a world inspired by Philippine mythology

Current status.

Everything you do for yourself is more valuable than what you’re forced to do to survive capitalism. Don’t let any loser make you feel like you need to monetize away your private life and hobbies. You matter more than how much money you can make.

😮‍💨 I might finally be able to buy shit on the site without it crashing all the time from Pokemon TCG scalpers. I just want my cute home decor!!

everyone is collectively discovering right now that vgc is really difficult and also requires you to lose a lot

I do like, from a storytelling perspective, the idea of giving Mega Floette Xerneas' ability. Both Pokémon symbolize life and the life energy that undergirds Mega Evolution. When Sootopolis is rejuvenated by life energy, the tree gifted by AZ blooms alongside an Eternal Flower.

Like there's still stupid stuff that happens, but it's been that way for as long as I've been using social media (since about 2002 or so starting with message boards). A few too many bots I guess? The influencer game doesn't seem to work as well here, so maybe that's what people are upset about?

It's interesting whenever I see "bluesky is dying" posts because I guess I just use this website differently? I follow people I like, artists I like, and I post whatever bullshit. It seems fine? It's kinda like how I remember social media being around 2014 or so. It's reasonably pleasant.

Good morning! I highly recommend anyone who thinks they might possibly interested to apply for my job at IGN. It is a fantastic (UNION!!!!!) job working with the absolute best people. I have loved it with all my heart. You will too. www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

i'm reminded of how important understanding intersectionality is almost daily now people who act impulsively without considering their actions are the most frustrating people to me, personally nothing left to do but see how this plays out now same as it ever was

Happy birthday to the illustrious Billie Holiday. Adorned in her iconic white gardenia flowers, Holiday’s hauntingly beautiful voice filled rooms at jazz clubs during the Harlem Renaissance.

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

Yup! Paywalls, anti-adblocker popups, and (most recently) drowning entire sites with banners and videos that force auto-refreshing. All these have made "mainstream" news sites completely inaccessible. But guess what sites don't have any of these? You guessed it, disinformation warehouses!

Person: “This story is important! Look at whats happening!” *paywall blocks after 2 paragraphs* *subscription notice* *known nazi bar website* *”we notice you have an adblocker…”* Person is now mad: “Why is no one aware if this??” *ONE YEAR LATER: IT HAPPENS* Everyone: “Why weren’t we warned?!?”

It's National Library Day! I thought it'd be fun to draw my favorite 'book enthusiasts' from REAL SCIENCE ADVENTURES: THE NICODEMUS JOB in a modern setting.

a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.

My level of being online has been only seeing discourse around "the discourse" and it's truly hilarious seeing takes from the outside without any context. This is a reminder that touching grass fucking rules.

trying to avoid a blog-length take, but any gaming affordability talks need to take an international lens. regions outside US have been dealing with rising prices longer than we have, and people are still playing games there, so analyzing those answers might be instructive!

Since we're on the topic of space, I figured now would be the perfect time to share the story of how I sent one of my Pokémon-inspired songs to space! 🚀
