When I worked on social features for online games, my favorite test for whether we were taking player safety into account was the "Ex-boyfriend Test", as in: If I was your ex-boyfriend, how would I use this feature to make your life miserable?

This is soooo so so bad

I AM GOING TO SCREAM This is why journalism is dying. Cause it’s impossible to be a reporter in this business while simultaneously paying for food.

Some people are desperate for the Rapture as a way to escape the consequences for what they've done to this world. They have a mindset that is permanently stuck in the mode of a guy who knows he's getting fired soon so why not trash the place before you go.

THANKS. FOR. WATCHING. Again and again, thank you for watching and your continued hype for animation made outside of mainstream studios. So proud of our crew, so thankful to work with Glitch, so happy to write next to Zach and JBO. 🧡💚💙

Y’all need to go watch this IMMEDIATELY.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

absolute bullshit that adults cant buy adult material anymore jfc

For folks pissed off at Disney-ABC for firing Jimmy Kimmel I do believe we can put pressure and win which we need any win right now. We have friends everywhere pass it around! bit.ly/boycottdisne...

Betwixt eclipses like—

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

Numerous journalists and writers purged today for posting factually about a slain regime ally, a bomb threat at the DNC HQ, 6 HBCUs closed due to bomb threats, shots fired at the Naval Academy, and that's just today.

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

All I will say, is that those who preach "violence is never the answer! Nobody deserves this" are never considering the violence those people enact on the marginalized with their rhetoric and the policies they support.

This explains it better than I can

26% Kit Kat price increase ahead of Halloween?? Lord have mercy

thanks to the popularity of umamusume, a truly unfathomable number of people are mourning the death of one of history's losing-est race horses. it's a bittersweet situation on multiple levels

Damn, this eclipse season sure has hands. :(

Told you so. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/s...

to be a hater publicly online instead of between ur close friends privately just make u look miserable it's not uh "slaaay icon" ur not the next regina george u just don't know how to behave in fandom spaces

A princess always loves to play games, especially with new friends.

there was a whole saga on tiktok about a woman who "fell in love" and became obsessed w her psychiatrist, and she very notably created two chatgpt bots that call her "the oracle" and feed her delusions on live streams and my favorite reactions to it are "that's crazy. MY chatgpt bots are normal"

rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

Gege Akutami…please be serious right now.

Y’all, my wife has returned from war.

Knights of Guinevere is a psychological thriller that welcomes you to a planet-wide theme park in the clouds!… And the shadows below, where a broken Princess Android is two dreamers’ tickets to better lives, or the end of them. :3 💙

I just…let’s take a break. 😭

Now why the fuck are folks making all this noise about Pluto being OOB?

Daniel Cruz of PEN America emphasized the toll censorship can take on authors: “Authors stop writing the content that's getting censored.”

As JJK wrapped last year I found myself thinking about the upcoming Virgo–Pisces eclipse cycle. Especially in connection with Gege’s next project. Well, Gege’s new short-term series will debut in WSJ next week. Gege will be handling the writing, while the artwork will be done by Yuji Iwasaki.

Still in Love’s Uma Musume debut and the Venus - Pluto opposition occurring at the same time? A little too on the muzzle tbh.

Happy Anime NYC! I’m excited to share my first piece at @avclub.com, an overview of the summer anime season, which runs through the end of September. www.avclub.com/summer-anime...

ooh if you’re of polish, italian or irish descent…watch out

Lana is feuding with [checks notes] Ethel Cain?

I can’t with people saying celebrities have astrologers because they release things “when they have heavy activations in their chart” Like babe that’s literally transits 😭 that’s how astrology works!

Being Jupiterian is less about opulence and wealth and more about generosity

People are mobilizing against fascism in the US in lots of ways every day.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Gege was literally dying of appendicitis while penning the last part of the manga and Shonen fuckass Jump was never gonna let him give us the story he wanted to tell because JJK was never supposed to be a shonen in the first place. They love damn near killing mangakas for mediocre slop endings.

Mercury is never IN RETROGRADE Mercury may be retrograde, or in retrograde motion… But is never just "IN RETROGRADE" Where this turn of phrase began, we’ll never know… but it’s not too late to fix it! Thank you for coming to my TED talk…

I agree with what @mjsdc.bsky.social says in this thread, but want to say one more thing about this case: it involves marriage equality, but also two other issues the Court cares deeply about: 1) its own authority; and 2) the right of public employers to control their employees.

The fact I’m seeing Kim Davis in a byline in 2025 is insane.

The summer hikaru died and its exploration of death and grief

that fuck ass full moon is over, mercury is direct PLUS venus and jupiter kiss tmrw.

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

Artists have been yelling about this for 3 years.
