'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

Someone should invent an Actual Future for us to all live in. Everybody who wants to be dead instead can go be in the cemetery and stop performing tantrums at the rest of us. We'll forgive you, but you have to go lie down now.

Cute Newt is happy to have finally announced our game, Wildekin! It was shown at Gamescom earlier today. Wishlist Steam: bit.ly/WildekinSteam Wishlist Xbox: bit.ly/WildekinXbox #Wildekin WildekinGame.com Explore, build, survive & thrive! Play with 4 friends online in this wild adventure.

It's my pleasure to announce that Cartomantic is going to be a part of the Seattle Indies Expo! If you're in the area for PAX, come say hi! Morgan, Riley, and I will be there. Play our early-in-development demo and check out other awesome indie games while you're at it. Info: six.seattleindies.org

we just posted a role for a Sr. AI Engineer- come work with me, and check out our other jobs too!! I have to specify this is like "make horses play with beach balls"* AI, not like chatGPT AI. *there are no horses playing with beach balls in this game. yet job-boards.greenhouse.io/sonyinteract...

i wrote a novella it's about longtermist vampires, doing too many drugs, and socialism it's available right now merrittk.itch.io/vampirocene thanks to @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the killer cover art

I think a lot of people have forgotten or were never taught in the first place that these kinds of actions need to be an endurance strategy. If they know you'll give up in 2 days they'll just try to wait you out. You have to make them understand that this is their life now if they don't fix things

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored! You can find info and phone scripts here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

In summary: - This call campaign needs to last at least a month - As many calls as possible, so bring your friends - Make sure each call lasts as long as possible - Each time you make a call, mention it's not the first time you've called about this

i find myself regularly reminding people that not one single German was severely punished for simply refusing to contribute to the Holocaust

sometimes the best shitposts can be found outside

Pretty interesting study! This result is going to get misinterpreted in a bunch of different ways over the next few days, so I thought I'd share a few thoughts with you now to contextualise some of the stuff in the paper.

During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, various factions that ranged from clergy to suburban moms, lawyers to anarchists, coalesced on the four-part slogan: 不篤灰 (no snitching) 不割席 (no severing ties) 不分化 (no forming of cliques) 不指責 (no scolding) Seems like new American anti-fascists are (re)learning!

feels like a good day to do some Godot tutorials

I have long said that the dream of a huge number of video games is "what if capitalism but it worked"

New Post: AI Is Here To Stay - www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/h... I wrote a new blog (on new blog software!) about how AI is here to stay. But what exactly does that mean, anyway?

when democrats do this, it’s not because they are talking to the electorate - it’s because they are talking to oligarchical donors they’re trying to signal & convince obscenely rich people that they are better stewards of protecting/growing wealth than the other team that is the job to dems

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

synopsis post: recently i've been working on a rendering prototype. it's a Wolfenstein style fan raycaster (so CPU, no polygons). it has: displacement mapped walls terrain raycaster floors (entirely different tech, but texturally matched with the walls). (angle constrained) real time shadows

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled. From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

wish I could explain to Bluesky that while I have intentionally muted "andor" I would still like to see posts containing "and/or"

Bellingcat CEO @eliothiggins.bsky.social:

Something I remember having pointed out to me a few years back which in hindsight should be obvious is how easy under capitalism it is to frame damage of private property as ‘violence’ when it simply isn’t.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

i see the liberals are rolling out the "outside agitators! peaceful protest only!" line, so i want to clarify a few things for anyone who doesn't have perspective on this. "outside agitators" is a very old anti-protest rhetoric which was in wide use during the civil rights era.

We have a system to elect dedicated representatives, who understand and can represent the values of our communities, to have paid full-time jobs translating those values into legislation. We should not have to follow every stage of a bill and beg them not to screw us over in each specific case!

Great job everyone

Multnomah County is gutting social services that keep people housed. every program that aids the poor and marginalized. mental health services and county adult special services, all axed. DA Nathan Vasquez is asking for a budget increase next year Oregon will give back roughly $1.5 billion in taxes

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic. "Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

I've taught many people new to gamedev from kids to adult, from a practical educator lens I believe the main difference people credit to kids learning faster or easier than adults is they aren't yet consciously trying to avoid temporarily looking like a beginner at something adding alt text to help

when a system of ownership endlessly siphons more power to fewer people who use it to actively harm everything and everyone that built that value... at some point we need to stop recognizing the legitimacy of their ownership
