If you think AI surveillance cameras aimed at drivers’ faces is a good idea (no matter how well intentioned the justification), you are a naive fool. This data will be harvested, sold to fascists, and used to imprison activists. Oh, and car companies will 100% use it for ads you can’t turn off.

"Hitting on HER" Happy lesbian visibility week. #lesbian #nightclub

i talk a lot about my experiences discovering x/y/z thing in the early 2000s, as a kid who had way too much unrestricted access to the internet but there really is something special to watching something in the dark and letting it wash over you. it's what i hope to give you in the coming times

As we settle into our weekend in the West, Sama'a and her family must continue to fight for survival. They rely on our support for access to food, water, and medicine. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/157569

Pretty dang sure that is a Shizuku reference. Always impressed with Fuwawa and Mococo's level of visual novel kung-fu.

Started Shogun. Yabushige is the best I love him.

@iiotenki.bsky.social Thoughts on the DS Shiren games? Spending alot of work downtime with my DS and wondered your thoughts as the Shiren guy.

I'm furious finding out that Rasheed's account has been labeled as Spam by bluesky. Wishlist Dreams on a Pillow on Steam, or donate to help fund this incredibly important Palestinian story! store.steampowered.com/app/4438850/... www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Okay, but consider:

"tgirl tops will bring you to a room like this" and it's a photograph of a poor woman's room and the joke is that we think it's funny she's poor

in persona 2 there's a character based on steven seagal. the writers are making fun of his weeb antics

i think the censoring of "trans" along with "nazis" from "Queer Connect," which is uncensored, exemplifies the shift in lgbt culture and broader society's feelings towards us re: transsexuality, palatability, and the watering down of our being into the nebulous "queer"

Still one of the most heartwarming endings you will ever see.

Me, coming back from visiting my cousins in 1996:

Actually, the one thing I truly mourne about that era is the computer literacy it facilitated. While I enjoy not having to fiddle with stuff, I probably learnt more from trying to get fantranslated VN’s to work on a non-JPN pc than anything else.

My litmus test for the true sickos is whether they recognise this hell-spawned imp.

"Arcade ambient soundscape cacophony" I wrote about the comforting sound of an arcade, the calm I feel in hearing games fighting to be heard, and recreating that sound at the Clubhouse. www.patreon.com/posts/arcade...

Thankfully as a forty-something I'm already too jaded to be hurt by this, by years of seeing the cyberpunk genre being bastardized by people (and megacorporations) too dazzled by the neon and stuff to get the point. Honestly its hard to even be mad since it's been happening for 20 years.

liberals stop making up names that make fun of a person's appearance or misgender them challenge (impossible)

Japanese TV commercial for Dragon Crystal, one of the best roguelikes and Sega Master System games ever created. It's certainly your best handheld option as well, if you were somehow cursed with only owning a Sega Game Gear #gaming #retro #Sega 🎮

Anime/manga with straight couple's romance is allowed to do all sorts of wild things because it's "fiction" and not real. But the second a queer romance in an anime even hints at the most vanilla "taboo" ever, people lose their shit. Hmmmm, I wonder why?! 🤔

I watched the video and this is the caption of the week

I like how he is willing to take accountability for failing to depict the true nature of what made both sides wrong and dangerous in his works, and I love how he admits, though a lot of the fandom just refuses to listen, regardless of what he could say automaton-media.com/en/news/mobi...

Re-watched Small Soldiers with the gang in discord and I have never seen a cat so happy to be in a movie and have toys in my life

Another reason for bringing this up is the increasingly-rare album from Chiaki Ishikawa including this song and a bunch of others just got a first-ever release on vinyl, which may just be one of the cooler LP releases of recent months

Just an incredible time we live in for Porkin' Across America to now be the canonical setup to Neo Infowars. Not a single person under 30 is going to understand how galaxy brained this is and that's beautiful. Anyway, time for my quarterly review of the best Today Now segment of all time.

This is so funny, I made almost the same picture a few years ago, with the same car! :D The Vitara is awesome!!! 🤜🤛

Watching a 90s Hong Kong crime movie (Beast Cops) and the opening line is the character going “Gambling is illegal? So what? Being gay used to be illegal too.”

Dead Rising is 20 years old

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

“If ICE isn't allowed to do it, then neither is Gritty.” is going to stick with me for awhile.
