happy Franz Kafka Is Too Tired day (est 1914) to all who celebrate! "July 1. Too tired."

movie pitch: what if the North won the Civil War

Daily bunny no.3367 is dining in style

It’s trivial compared to all else but as computer components & entertainment systems become more prohibitively expensive it’s becoming increasingly clear that we can have AI & data centers & petroleum wars or we can have stuff we actually want like movies & video games & physical media but not both.

I feel like I should repost this every day until everyone reposts it every day and demands this simple change with big impact

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

be vocal about this and put some dollars their way if you can.

"The terrible person's work was terrible anyways." No. People who are terrible can still make pretty things. That's the problem. People who equate "good things = good people" is the reason why so many are exploited, tricked, fooled, harmed, etc. As if all goodness is perceivable in any industry.

🚨 We analyzed the Supreme Court’s decisions over the past 20 years and found that for the first time, the court issued more consequential rulings on its “shadow docket” (unsigned orders often decided without arguments) than the traditional merits docket. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

The Overton window keeps sliding.

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

if you have your own physical media collection, you can do your own version of the Criterion Closet where you stand in your basement by yourself and saying "oh wow, In the Mood for Love, what a film" to absolutely no one

Reposting this baby

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

I offer up my prayers to William Henry Harrison

Don't do any of this.

Back on my bullsh

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Happy Disability Pride Month to all my friends, and individuals who have a form of disability whether it be physical, neurological, etc. There is a lot going on with the disability community at this very moment in our country & the world. But know that you are absolutely worth it.

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

The perfect company is one that produces nothing, receives money, and only has one employee (the CEO). Any time you question why a company would do something seemingly insane, just remember that they are trying to create the impossible, a perfect company, and that should help explain it.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Well this isn’t a very big deal given how cheap digital storage is. Now to take a big sip of water and open Newegg

"hey we not-so-sneakily introduced dynamic pricing into our digital store also we're discontinuing Literally All Physical Products and also also you can't even buy the old stuff digitally anymore" thats awesome i think we should kill the sony computer entertainment corporation

#girlgenius #webcomics #twitch Girl Genius for 7/1 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) The plan is for Kaja to stream tonight, so tune in! She has cookies! (www.twitch.tv/professoress...) Starts at 6 PM PST. It's low-key fun for them that like that sort of thing & the closest we get to socializing.

He could strangle a teenager on camera and they would say he “defied a long-held tradition of presidents not doing that”

Good Evening, “video games” was a 45 year sociological study conducted by hardware development industries. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

Brought to you by seeing my own MN Representative describing the wife of the late, great Karen Clark, who fought like hell for our right to marry, as her “partner.” Clark and Zita deserve to have their 11 year marriage acknowledged and honored.

This remains one of the best things Mamdami is doing. He’s consistently reaching out to New Yorkers on safety stuff. He’s reaching people that yes it is the city’s job to provide services and safety. Teaching people what governing is, with follow through, helps rebuild trust.

WELCOME TO SCHISM WATCH 2026 WITH CLAIRE

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

time for Wrath Month bitches, this one is for the trans homies

I never shared some of my Across the Spiderverse images here. Let’s go with Earth 50101

“Intent doesn’t matter only the outcome does.” be an adult. Intent actually does matter, quite a lot. Intent and the outcome are both equally important. Stop death of the authoring your friends. You’re adults. Act like it!

safety first!

BREAKING: Pride Month Extended Indefinitely

homies on antidepressants, please be aware that there is a major heat wave building (in the US). if you're on antidepressants, such as SSRIs and SNRIs, you're more likely to experience heat exhaustion and/or dehydration. please be sure to take care of yourselves and hydrate!!!

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

As we close one of the most tumultuous Pride Month's in my memory, I encourage you to keep your tenacious spirit alive. These clowns have nothing on the burning heart keeping your chest warm. Stay yourself, stay silly. Love you. xoxoxoxo
