Let's fucking go.

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

There's different reasons and everyone will feel differently but I think one big reason is simply that it's filled with bots, trolls, and grifters. If your career isn't dependent on X, then you're blessed. Find a place with real people to connect with.

Why is this haunting?

perfect timing to have encountered this rebecca solnit quote this morning

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Tired: you shouldn’t buy an Xbox because its price is increasing $20-$70 across the board Wired: you shouldn’t buy an Xbox because Microsoft’s hands are stained with the blood of the Gazans it helped slaughter

"We need to change the script. We need to escalate this, because clearly, what we're doing right now is not stopping the inhumane, un-American and illegal activity that is happening in this building."

there is a link btwn transphobia and misogyny that even TERFs are seemingly unaware of, that by creating paranoia about trans women they are undermining the public safety of EVERYone, and i can come to no other conclusion but: this is the point.

they’d really hate it if you stayed focused on helping people in need

It is brain breaking how so many people losing their jobs, from Kimmel down to random teachers, aren’t actually making light of his death or praising the killer. they’re just saying they disagreed with the guy, or noting the hysteria over people disagreeing with the guy

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

The vehicular arms race has forced people into paying up in order to survive. It's no longer about quality or luxury, it's about being the family that's heavier, larger, and less likely to die in the eventual crash. This is predatory capitalism at its finest.

rolled credits on silksong

ive spent the past 3 hours staring at DIETRICH FE and it looks like he is a prequel to the evil Europeans in FATES, this is gonna be the Fire Emblem that ties everything together. The Fire Emblem Ready Player One

it rocks that my profession is so dedicated to lying about Kirk that his gutter bigot friends like Jack Posobiec get uncritical CNN spots, while Attiah gets fired for accurately quoting Kirk

rolled credits on Silksong. Hoowee

if I am being brutally honest some platforming moments in Silksong feel like, if anyone remembers this, the game I Wanna Be The Guy And not in a good or fun way

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

insane that the alleged killer just happens to give immense Waluigi vibes

NEW FODLÀN FIRE EMBLEM AND A DQVII REMAKE I AM EATING I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE GOVERNMENT KILLS ME BEFORE THESE COME OUT

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

if, as a break from the Stuff Happening, you want something that is mostly breezy and fun to read and only very briefly delves into the sinister functions of a malicious anarcho-capitalist state

it is bitterly funny that every other tax dollar in this country goes towards funding the most technologically advanced police state on the planet and yet they never have much pep in their step when it’s time to catch a murderer

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

yesterday i published a collection of six little pieces of writing about a selection of SpongeBob frames. SpongeBob is really important to me and unfortunately yet mercifully its beloved creator is dead and can't himself tarnish its reputation with hate speech. I really like it and hope you do too!

Agreed with the Cooler Heads here. This act of political violence may one day soon serve as pretext to justify federal occupation of progressive cities or even unaccountable militias imprisoning people of color without due process at impenetrable, inhumane black sites. Well, I sure hope not!

You are going to see a lot of people who don’t know what they’re talking about sharing opinions like they’re truth today. My advice is to take a break from the back and forth, avoid watching videos, and log off for a bit.

here's the email. Nine Inch Nails plot arcs, some recommendations, and mild dissection of some SpongeBob frames. buttondown.com/ghostdown/ar...

it's almost time for my favorite biweekly activity: only spotting a typo after the email goes out even though i spent hours scouring the email for typos

A German teen told Meta's child safety researchers his under-10 little brother had been sexually propositioned multiple times on its VR platform. Meta deleted the evidence. New internal whistleblower docs indicate that was part of a broader cover-up: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

me hearing about @doo.ski and @bb.wavelengths.online experiencing untold wonder bc they're both many hours ahead of me in Silksong

i ask you this, is silksong too hard or has it just gotten scarier to feel helplessly terrible at something? is it no longer a thrill to fail and fail and fail beautifully over and over? to be the fool wandering, lost in the woods but all the better for it? to tweak da build???

it is still bandcamp friday for 57 more minutes 🥹

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

eeeeEEEEH AÍAÍAÍAÍ
