I’d suggest that “the government gave its secret power-behind the throne - already an infamous crook - the most important job in British diplomacy with no questions asked, and it turns out he’s compromised by notorious criminals and probably by foreign intelligence services” is an actual story

There hasn't been a funny jab at Geoff Keighley and TGA/SGF since the Sid the Science Kid tweet in 2021 and frankly people should just stop trying and leave that man be.

Alright, yeah, that is a surprisingly catchy little musical Hommer you decided to show me, Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY7O...

Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote in Parliament for the last 11 weeks. During that time he will have collected about £50,000 in wages and expenses. But he will tell you Disabled People and immigrants are the problem. No, it's rich lazy parasites like him.

Stancil and his followers are legitimately some of the cruelest people I’ve ever seen on social media. They really just have no empathy if people won’t agree with them that the economy is fine.

Millions Irrationally Feared Dead In Minor Train Accident

Nothing screams 'free speech enthusiast' quite like threatening to shut down an entire organisation because a couple of comedians made a joke about you. 🤷

I can’t believe we’re sleepwalking into this shit.

Also true in games, but at least with movies, some studios seem to be learning that lower budget = better business. With games, the companies that can afford to spend hundreds of millions on a game want to continue to convince people that only games that cost that much to make are worth playing

AI bollocks makes me think of this book by Larry Niven: World of Ptavvs. It's about a race of beings who are not particularly smart, but who have the ability to enslave smarter beings and make them work for them. It doesn't end well for anyone.

Time to delete your Linktree!

So much of the pandemic was us finding out life actually could be easier and better and more accessible, and then watching them peel every scrap of that back out of our hands & lives, often for incoherent reasons. (return to office!)

This app is ran by people like this

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

"Eventually, though, what's left of the free press will have to reckon with the fact that the far-right fringe is now the modern world's governing elite — and openly declaring an intent to repeat the 1930s. That's a story."

This is exactly how the UK media operates. They assume the population has convenient memory loss (but actually a lot of us ‘keep the receipts’)

Literally mad they can't use slurs without consequences.

people think these stories are one off successes but everyone is yearning for tangible thrills after decades of cgi marvel action figures taking turns punching each pther

That our electorate considers this a similar kind of disqualifying to having a Nazi tattoo and posting rape apologia is exactly how we wound up with a candidate who has a Nazi tattoo and posts rape apologia

Moon Child, an obscure little guy from a vintage Dutch computer game, has gone viral after people finally realized they have the power to be his friend. aftermath.site/moon-child-tea...

As the shooting itself showed, cops are never the answer

Now is the time to make your thing. Stop motion with LEGO, webcomic, walking sim game, weird Halloween costume, backyard water feature, container garden. This is your sign. Make your thing. Stop waiting. Do it.

In response to clear genocide, US politicians become even more complicit.

I'd really like to dig into Path of Exile 2's newest league, but unfortunately it's been crashing halfway through the odd boss fight or whenever I take a portal back to town. Never seen such instability with any of the previous big updates.

Oh and it's even worse if you are in a country with mandatory ID scanning required to access "adult content", like Australia or the UK. You can't see the account AT ALL.

Just ask chat like a normal person man. That's like the solution to 95% of "how would I do/know this without AI". Just interact with a human being

I really really do want tip toe to be good and meet this moment but i just can’t trust or expect it will when the guy that we need to Meet The Moment, Russel T Davies, proudly says he has transphobic friends

Is it their open attack on knowledge and talent and the law, is it that.

Just spent countless billions destroying civilians, girls’ schools, and irreplaceable cultural sites, then?

2008-2026, and no sign whatsoever of it ending in the next decade

A good video reminder to ignore the screams of "Dead game" always aimed at single-player stories folks have long finished or multiplayer titles that have 'only' have 2k to 20k active players. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGvl...

Weird how many "ex-Greens" there are that all quit to glaze the worst Labour government we've ever had when the Greens start a) offering something and b) doing well, on here

You have to click through twice to see an entirely chaste drawing of Luigi being scared by lava, this is more restrictive than some gun laws. bsky.app/profile/paul...

just a nightmarish way to do moderation lol. account-level smut tags? every post? like they're do boobie and peanus ascii art in their text posts? extremely stupid

Time to rewatch these masterworks for the umpteenth time. This is the kind of stuff the Internet is supposed to produce. I'd trade every influencer in history for one more video as funny as these.

There Is No Alternative (Or Else)

The British political spectrum, at its maximum extent

Hey, @bsky.app, this sort of moderation is absolutely insane. This is my friend, I just wanted to see what he was up to. You have a huge artist community here who helped grow this site. If you keep this up you’re going to drive us all away. Sort it out.

Everyone involved in this systematic torture must be prosecuted.

The fact that they're hitting completely SFW artists with this label wasn't bad enough, so they also had to make this the most miserable user experience for a social media app ever conceived. I legit don't think I've ever seen ANYTHING this bad before on a social media platform lmao

It's just censoring regular ass text posts. bsky staff is just straight up shadowbanning nsfw accounts

Laughed at this image for 10 entire minutes

yes

This sucks dude. Labeling a whole account for several weeks effectively feels like punishment for "posting out of line"

Democrats love to protect you from violent fascists by helping the violent fascists attack you. That makes sense, right??

Lord help us

David has been kind enough to come on our show multiple times to speak about his deep love and passion for working on anime in both performance and production roles. It's deeply disturbing to hear he, and likely many others, have been treated this way.

"Expanded moderation at the account level", ah - they're finally going to go after the fasci-*holds finger to ear*-ah no I'm receiving word that this means that anyone who once posted a bit too much leg in 2023 will get banned to the void immediately and permanently
