tl;dr Brave was created by a guy who got kicked out of the for-profit part of Mozilla for being too for-profit and corrupt, so he created a browser that was focused around manipulating advertisements to divert the revenue and then threw several crypto scams on top of it when that failed.

just had to explain to someone that monsterfucking has nothing to do with energy drinks and I don't know which one of us is walking away from the conversation more traumatized

Alright, guess this is needed. Stop calling disabled people handicapped. We don't like that term. We are DISABLED. They're not the same word. Handicapped is such an outdated term that most of the disabled Community agrees we do not like being used to describe any of us. The word is disabled.

I did a speedrun of Glass Joe on the newly discovered prototype of Punch Out! It doesn't play any audio though, so I ended up doing a complete restoration of the audio using very advanced tech. Please hear the tech you won't regret the tech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Fj...

found a magical secret road; the top is invisible to cis straight dudes

I'm sure I've posted this before but I'm always surprised at how many people don't know about this. Don't use Brave. For a number of reasons. More info linked. www.spacebar.news/stop-using-b...

I call this one "Margica Riot"

Some good news & queer joy this week! When people come together, real change follows. We’re holding onto these wins worth celebrating!

The Rise and Fall of Misery Memoirs is NOW OUT on YouTube! Come learn about trauma, Satan, a two-decades-long scam, and the most insane chaotic good lawyer I have ever heard of. youtu.be/W8Nhvr1X8Kc?...

@propublica.org management: This is your sign to give us a fair contract now. We’re not shutting up.

wait the Artemis people are coming back??? why would you do that. you literally escaped. you're living the dream

• For the /new/ Black speedrun folk out there, this is a perfect opportunity to develop your talent and public performance. The skills you’d gain here would carry over to not only how you represent yourself on a stage, but to presenting yourself to a potential brand, or even your future career!

This Friday evening (April 10)—come learn about radical antiwar direct action, among other things

"we should improve the flexibility of armor somewhat." yet you wear a metal breastplate. cuirass!

You know what they say about Microthon: if you don't like the run you're watching, wait five minutes!

my favorite part of every Salt & Straw is the cervical dilation boards they use as decor

This snippet from Videogaming & Computergaming Illustrated describes the real issue with the 83 crash. Nothing about game quality so much as retail stockrooms being so full that they couldn't really get new stuff, and what they did have had to be discounted or sold back to publishers eventually

Tomorrow! See you there!

On a more positive note, and this is not an exhaustive list, but please do follow, read, and support our friends at places like @wearequeeraf.com, @attitudemag.bsky.social, @divamag.bsky.social and other UK queer media that provide good public interest journalism for our community.

The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social. Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why?

One of the... er... "perks" of being a trans girl with significant breast growth on HRT is that you can speak with actual authority on the old "boobs vs balls - which hurts more to get hit in?" debate. It's balls. It's 100% balls. It's not even remotely close.

Very annoying the way folks talk about Baltimore vs say DC. I love this city with my whole heart and it for sure gets to me when folks speak on the city like it’s discardable or second-rate

I have personally written I wanna say 500+ pages in the last year or so without AI. And I'm not even getting paid for it.

OK this one was funny to me.

PoV: you wanted to submit for PUWP 2026 but haven't yet

Lotta cool trans people whose work you should check out or who you should hire in this thread

Only about six hours left, so if you're the last-minute snipe sort of person, now's your time!

Happy #tdov! I'm currently manifesting subtle visibility with a pink blouse and blue skirt. I love being my true self!

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all who observe trans people

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

get em in

If anyone following me is using the new Attie thing and has a spare invite code... ...please let me know so that I can block you, fuck that AI garbage

The struggle between the fun wolf inside you that wants to keep "Booty Call" because it's funny and actually closer to the Japanese ("Treasure Call"), and the boring wolf who thinks it should be changed to "Radar" or "Detector" to maintain continuity with the other English games.

This is, by the way, the most direct reason why I was forced out of science. Perhaps I will go back someday, but as it is, with a select few exceptions, our generation will simply not produce scientists. It is *terrifying* to consider the effects of this. Please fight for change, however you can

As some of y’all know, I’m looking to move out of my apartment of doom and to a bigger city that will have better employment opportunities! More on this soon, but for now, I’m opening commissions for emotes and editing! If you’d like to help support my move and like what you see below, DM me :)

CW: food, drink, Harry Potter I'm (hopefully) preaching to the choir here, but J.K. Rowling doesn't own the concept of butterscotch. There's a concerning amount of items flavored "Butterbeer" at the grocery store. (1/2)
