Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

When we say 'fuck corporate comics' that really extends to all corporate creativity. Video games. Movies. Toys. Anything that thrives heavily on the humans they then turn around and neglect. The reason I hate DC and Marvel is you got a hundred Roger Sweets you can point to.

Hello all, So Sean, Ashimak and their community will need more continued support. They tried to take steps towards self-reliance by attempting to buy land, but were denied based on their sexuality. They need money for meds, food and clean water. Help if you can: gofund.me/568f980e9

Reupping my video showing that conversion therapy in the UK is mainly caused by about 40 people who simply will not piss off and are ruining the NHS for the rest of us youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

If you haven't been involved in academic philosophy this might come as a surprise but academic philosophy as a discipline is _shockingly_ full of right-wingers, like, business school levels of conservatives infesting and running the discipline

always worth underlining that when regular people say we want lower budget games we generally imagine smaller, stable teams shipping less polished but more frequent releases but when management hear that they mean lower wages and more contractors. it is the only thing they care about

Better put the car in Park. We’re gonna be here for a while.

microsoft developers using SteamOS running Windows-native games through compatibility layers AS A BENCHMARK for their new Windows K2 optimizations is one of the funniest fucking things to happen thus far in this current iteration of the OS war

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

job insecurity and in england, being banned from places to swim. endless news cycles from eugenicists about how many less of us there should be. Do people have to wait for seperate water fountains to pull their head out of their ass

it went from theoretically being segregationist policy to being genuine segregation policy. it's funnier when you have to get English speaking black politicians in the western world stand up and have a voice for this. this is a kemi demodouche policy too. Thank you, woke segregation

According to official statistics, and of course this will be affected by people not declaring, there are 1,525 trans people working in UK higher education, in a total workforce of a little over half a million people. Using GP data to estimate the UK’s trans population, there should be about 4.5k.

In London, the Green Party have made huge advances but are still slightly behind Labour. Keep doorknocking everyone! www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

this shit is so stupid istg

The trend with concerning Finnish studies on trans youth is that they demonstrate a research environment that's willing to make use of questionable methodology to chase headlines at their patients' expense. The concerning part is that they still have jobs.

So anyway for the price of one video game you can support an artist’s patreon for two or three years

If Nordic gender clinics want to provide scientific publications documenting that they abuse their patients they're free to do so, but the framing that the patient outcomes are an intrinsic part of gender-affirming care is pure cope.

Any PlayStation game purchased digitally after March's sytem update will reportedly now require an internet connection once every 30 days to validate the license 🎮 If the console stays offline longer than that, the games will not launch until you reconnect (via MrZackXOfficial | TW)

Scanlon is one of the only members Congress consistently trying to draw attention to NSPM-7

The Gender-Conservative movement managed to push policy proposals worldwide based on the pretense that youth transition is common and easy to access, obscuring the extant reality of obstruction and hostility towards trans patients. They're doing it again because they got away with it.

i found it

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

science is cancelled. No more of it.

One of the towns we've been researching for Dreams on a Pillow -the Palestinian-made game about a young woman escaping the Zionist atrocities of the 1948 Nakba- is Naqura, on the Lebanese side of the border with Palestine. As of this week, Israel has destroyed it. www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

"Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic." what a fucking banger

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

UBI does nothing to address or dismantle the systems that expropriate wealth from and exploit the poor. What you want is universal access to needs being met. Healthcare, food, housing. This approach is easier to maintain, harder to dismantle, and maintains momentum towards further progress

If you don't want people to be hungry feed them. If you don't want people to be unhoused provide them with houses. Do not let the capitalist mindset of individual atomisation and reducing everything to money as the logical proxy for our needs cloud your ability to imagine solutions to our problems.

Giving people money is a capitalist solution to maintain the existence of markets. Feeding, housing, and all around taking care of people is part of building a more just society built around communist logic.

As long as your solution involves money, someone will always make it so that there is never enough of it. If your decision revolves around establishing responsibility for each other it becomes easier to remember that money doesn't exist and people matter more than imaginary markets.

the scientology raid bit kids keep doing is extremely funny, but it’s also evidence that this is the first generation removed from project chanology shit like, this isnt just some wacky space religion these people will fuckin GET you. theres a wikipedia page about their concentration camp

not that its kind of a battle that's already lost in a lot of respects bc the average fgc attendee has just decided they dont care or are powerless to change things but i just feel like the military should still be over the line

How it feels to play dogshit fighting games from multiple years ago after 4 beers

Telling a comic writer your story idea is the best way to ensure it will NEVER HAPPEN.

If I could get 5 more that would be pretty cool 😏😏😏😏😏

I love this essay very much!!!!

"In the lexicon of human migration there are still hierarchical words, created with the purpose of putting white people above everyone else. One of those remnants is the word “expat”."

fun fact: the manga adaptation of this is some of q. hayashida's earliest work!

now to hold my breath and wait for the major sports governing bodies and news organisations to act and report on this

the nakedness with which the press doesnt even try to cover up how it believes that its one rule for the boys club arisotcracy and quite another rule for the proles, the blacks, the gays etc is one of the most insane things about living here. dont even bother with the lie of an egalitarian narrative

the first op-ed on why mps are uniquely impoverished self-sacrificing heroes who simply must have their subsidised on the job drink or they will literally die has landed

Hannah Spencer is basically right. There is a toxic culture in Westminster which is badly exacerbated by alcohol. There's a reason why the main bar in Parliament now has CCTV and requires drinkers to scan their passes when they enter. There's just been so many incidents of abuse

if you’re not paying attention to minor news cycles in british politics fist of all congratulations second of all you’re missing the entire media and political class defend day drinking on the job right now

The funny thing about Hannah Spencer is that she’s literally exactly what everyone pretends they want from politicians in political media: a working class woman who has broken into politics from a normal job, speaking her mind from genuine lived experience. And they fucking hate her for it lol

just by existing she overturns the persistent political/media class belief that working class people are ‘naturally’ racist, misogynist, transphobic, anti-immigrant, and uninterested in people and events outside their neighbourhood she reveals the intense chauvanism endemic to british politcal life
