Cancel and refund. Best way to avoid a trap is to be nowhere near it. Failing that: - Blank phone you can fob to a pawnbroker - Stay in groups =>4 - Cash is king; fantastic plastics can be tracked - Know your embassy details - If people ask for names, addresses, etc. false name/addy 3 suburbs away

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever. If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

If only I had a few million and a house to sell, so I can buy a main battle tank to fight the encroaching fascist hordes

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

In what fucking universe is this $80 before discounts, supermarket duopoly??? This is barely a few days of provisioning, not counting what's already in my pantry/fridge. Guess those Palantir contracts are really hemorrhaging the bottom line, eh, Coles?

So what you're saying is... they are excellent punching bags

soldiers are mostly young people who want to do something else with most of their life. They generally don't want to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they executed an unarmed mom cops want to spend thirty years with the nickname "killer"

Oh, please, #auspol — I want to feel like I'm living in a sane part of the world again

Are there any gothic survival-horrors in games? Interested for strategic research purposes

This is where I'm thankful to have a Swiss-army knife skillset. I KNOW how complicated various disciplines are. And the more I know that isn't narrative design and writing, the less willing I am to write stuff off. Especially since skill A and skill B tend to reinforce each other in weird ways

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

This year myself & 15 other Aussie creators compiled our 2025 games into one $10 game bundle. Growing Thylacine, my short, beginner-friendly, pilot-a-tassie-tiger game is included! Proceeds split evenly among us with the remainder going to the Anangu-led NPY Women’s council itch.io/b/3462/ausrp...

Schoolyard bullying, and failure to address complaints thereof, should face criminal charges

Selling Catholicism to the American trans girl: "so being a nun is always wearing black and living in a house with a dozen to thirty sisters, who you are required to confess your desires to on occasion."

Schoolyard bullying, and failure to address complaints thereof, should face criminal charges

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

Fuck, it's been a long year...

Como veo que por año nuevo hay nueva oleada de peñita que se ha venido a @bsky.app y además han tenido a bien buscarme y seguirme, aquí os comparto dos paquetes de bienvenida de gentecilla del gremio de los videojuegos. Esta es de gente española en general (devs, prensa, YT, etc...):

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

the number of people who can't clock bad AI-generated video footage as such really makes me more sympathetic to the people who fell for the Cottingsley fairies. Our eye for the real in video or photo footage isn't natural, it's a learned skill.

What the fuck is up with @trevorproject.bsky.social having a cutoff of 25 years old for their support hotline? Trans adults need care too and will increasingly face suicide risks as things continue to become worse. Also, wtf does 25 even mean for a trans person transitioning in their 30s? c'mon!

Okay, who the fuck said "2026 is gonna be my year!"? Report to the firing line for mandatory execution. You've damned us all to a shit year yet again!

Remember that ZA/UM gets money from Epic for these, and the creators of the game made their work available on @archive.org because they've been removed from earning from it

Howard’s tenure is remembered for its dark undercurrents: systemic racism, political opportunism, and a willingness to exploit societal divisions for electoral gain - the Liberals have rolled him out to exploit social divisions over the Bondi shooting blakandblack.com/2025/12/27/j...

One thing we don't talk about with "relationship decay" is that there is more going on than time passing by. Entropic decay, as it were. I know I feel reactive decay more than entropic decay. "X thing happened or Y thing didn't happen, so time to reassess where you are..."

This has to be one of the biggest own-goals the US government has done since Watergate...

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie."

the reason the entire conservative political apparatus opposes comprehensive sex education is that children who understand sexuality are more likely to be able to identify and report sexual abuse, so keep that in mind next time your politicians brag about "bipartisanship"
