The Trump Billionaire Class will have CONTROL over another social/information platform. This is how autocrats suppress the people. Autocrats don't need a majority support of their people--just the military, the police & courts, the ultra-wealthy who own monopolies, and the media/info sources.

TikTok is going to be the video version of X in a couple months.......

I'm not you, and I've never used TikTok, but it might be a good time to get off it and start building social infrastructure elsewhere. Which sucks. I know. But.

Tw: State sanctioned kidnapping, human trafficking

Visa card (for games) is all that's left on P's WL for her grandson. Kids shoes are what's left on Cindy's WL. Make some children happy for Christmas. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

As predicted the online safety act has succeeded only in making us less safe. Admit your mistake. Repeal it now.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Okay, I have to be offline much/most of the day [nothing drastic; just SO MUCH WORK here to catch up on that I'm delaying online stuff]. Can we clear these two local Xmas wishlists while I'm gone? P's grandson: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Cindy's niece: www.walmart.com/lists/wishli...

I'm sure "The suffering of generations must be endured to achieve our divine end" doesn't have any geopolitical implications or anything... right?

it's tempting to just say "oh this is GRIM" and nothing else, because it is, but below the surface level people HAVE to start realizing that without organized labor power, capitalists will play in your face.

Reminder this is supposed to be a religion critical game

I saw one on here that was a compilation of "huge snarling dog suddenly turns affectionate when presented with tiny kitten" and oh my god please do not put a kitten in this situation

Not to mention it distorts peoples' perception of how real animals act, which is going to get them (the people and the other animals) hurt or killed. All for the endless churn of Content(TM)

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

tysm for all of the shares!! i am no longer in the negatives thankfully, but i need to raise about $40 to cover a meal for my household this afternoon/evening; anything at all folks can spare so i can eat today is appreciated 🙇🏼💸💕 #BIPOCMA #MAV #MutualAidSky bsky.app/profile/stem...

Crunching should not be the default work mode. It is in game dev and that's a huge problem. Also there's this corporate bullshit.

So like… that has to be one of the worse lines to put on a commemorative coin for a studio notorious for crunch right? Like either this is a line from the villain, which is weird to hand out as motivational material, or it’s all want to be heroic which is so much worse

Another game to not even pirate

I blame the media for this. Because this is the exact same shit that happened with The Last of Us 2 where the devs were worked to the bone. Instead of condemning and holding Naughty Dog accountable, the media instead rewarded them. And clearly it's enabled Naughty Dog to continue this practice.

Ironically TikTok will actually become propaganda now. All because a bunch of out of touch old people couldn't comprehend what normal political opinions look like. Everyone being against bombing hospitals was obviously China's doing, so we sold the platform to some techno fascists. Nice job, idiots.

To all small businesses that decided they didn’t want to maintain a web site and decided to build their business presence on Facebook.

Fanarts I did for Kaiji Tang and Robbie Daymond, two of my favourite voice actors that I was lucky enough to meet in person at MCM! #art

Tw: State sanctioned kidnapping, rape mention

Fuck Neil Druckman, genuinely. Hateful piece of shit.

What could be a fun sci fi game is going to be a vehicle for Druck to once again say "everyone's bad to a degree, except for them who are inherently evil and must be purged for the world to find peace." That Naughty Dog logo should be an event, but can't have that because of this 1 fucking guy.

I hate this fucker, because all of his games have had something in them designed to white wash Israel's atrocities into "Oh well, everyone does bad things sometimes" while phantom casting stand in Palestinians as savages and terrorists.

The villains are going to resemble Muslims aren't they?

"we need to enact unfeasible and wildly unpopular crunch for our game!" Looks inside game It's a fucking demo

I hate this but it’s also… idk man. It’s frustrating seeing them get away with it time and time and time again. And I know other studios crunch as well yes but ND has been shown to do it, hard, and for, what, at LEAST their last 3 games. Ugh

Some people hate Naughty Dog because they're "woke". I hate Naughty Dog because they overwork their employees, we are not the same.

As it's been pointed out, age verification laws getting permablocked in Louisiana, Arkansas and Ohio directly contradicts the narrative that KOSA et al is popular, which its congressional supporters are desperately claiming If we push it could unravel completely, but we all *have* to keep pushing

Can you believe it guys? Christmas, just a week away. Christmas is in a week! Woohoo! I'm so happy about this information! Christmas, just a week away. Oh, wow! Can you believe it? Christmas, just in a week! It got here so fast!

⚡️ Stop the Dismantling of NCAR the Worlds Leading Climate Lab and Protect Critical Weather Research Infrastructure ⚡️ Call your Representatives 202-224-3121 Then please send this letter Text SIGN PJPETE to 50409 @resist.bot

For those wondering, NCAR stands for National Center for Atmospheric Research. It sit up on a mesa above southern Boulder. It's a major landmark there.

The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

This isn’t the end of the road for Pow!, we’ve got a ton of screenings and other events scheduled for 2026 and some more cool stuff to announce. If you’d like to screen Pow! in your community, send me a DM!

One day, that’ll change. Touring the festival circuit over the years and meeting ultra talented Native directors like Loren Waters, Erica Tremblay, Paige Bethmann and many, many others, I think it’ll change soon because their talents are undeniable, and they’re really nice people too!

If I’m sad about anything, it’s that, in the nearly 100 year history of the Academy, a Native director has never won an Oscar. I was hoping that this year’s fantastic crop of Native made films, Courage, Tiger or Remaining Native would break that curse, but it wasn't in the cards.

From the buzz generated from the film, I sold a book to a big publisher and my next animated short to a cool comedy streaming service (both should be out next year sometime)! This was my first narrative animated film, and based on the love Pow! received, this won’t be the last.

Because of Pow!, I’ve gotten so many amazing opportunities. We screened at a Macklemore concert put on by NDN Collective in front of thousands of people (including Leonard Peltier!), Mark Ruffalo personally campaigned for us, FNX distributed the film,

After screening at 70+ festivals around the world alongside many of the great films that made the shortlist, winning over a dozen awards and seeing all the great stuff that’s come from this film, I think we accomplished our goal!

This week, the Oscars shortlist for Best Animated Short Film was announced and Pow! was not on it. And that’s okay! My goal with Pow! wasn’t to win an Oscar, it was to show that a Native made animated short film could compete at the highest levels of animation.

Man the universe is wild. Same time one door shut another 'door' called us. We have an offer for a mini-van for 6k, if we can raise it ASAP. 🌠 Anyone wanna participate in a Wintermas miracle? 🕯️ A vehicle is the only chance we've got of making it. 0/$6,000 Will keep track nightly in this thread.

thank you for the thread! #transcrowdfund

Thank you for the space Enby artist and two trans partners in need of help staying afloat after losing stable income. Our vehicle is broken and we need funds to get it fixed as well as money for bills, food, meds. Please help us out if you can spare a dollar.

Thank you for the space! bsky.app/profile/enby...
