Legalizing sports betting was a mistake.

If you ever admit you are wrong about something instead of digging your heels in, know that you immediately have infinitely more integrity than Disney ever had.

Fantastic read that nails a lot of my own gripes toward the "difficulty in a game is sacred" crowd. (And speaking as someone who has ADHD, you get told implicitly and explicitly that "this isn't for you." The elitists are quick to ensure that much)

"If you claim difficulty is sacred, remember that its earliest form was capitalist exploitation wrapped in machismo. There's no artistry here, just economics." Another banger article from Alli, and something I've discussed from time to time, too, with regard to clue books and hint lines.

what i love about this is that the 2000s wolfwood cosplayer is more dedicated to wolfwood than this guy is to christ

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

I refuse to believe the Dirty Pair Blu-Rays are real until I get a shipping notification, because they sure as hell ain't going in pledge order.

I don't know what's worse: you dipshits who think the billionaires behind South Park are your allies, or you dipshits who think the billionaires behind South Park are useful means to an end. Just because a broken pipe is spewing raw sewage on someone you hate doesn't mean the pipe loves you.

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

Here's a link to Bsky's post and the guidelines.

I've seen the calls for a blackout, and it is the wrong way to go about it. BlueSky have stated that the TOS will evolve in response to feedback; give them that. Stand up for creators, ask for better labelling tools, and that they ensure that legal 18+ content won't be subject to censorship.

WHEW what a couple weeks it's been!! For those that missed it, I've been in the middle of a massive move and I'm only now getting my setup good to go. The internet still seems iffy, so next week we'll start off with some test streams and get back on track! See y'all soon, thanks for your patience!

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

they’re calling it the biggest self-fucking in history, folks

I do not want to see one snide joke about this queen or her friends on this godforsaken free website. Anyone that can set aside the thing they love so much it becomes the center of their identity in defense of the greater good is a comrade i respect

TikTok is about to become the biggest propaganda mill the world has seen in forever.

You KNOW you fucked up when you've radicalized the Disney Adults. Their whole MO revolves around finding ways to overlook the shitty things the Mouse does

lol they really done fucked it huh?

Don't👏Fuck👏With👏The👏Theme👏Parks!

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

idk if disney/sinclair/nexstar understand how bad they fucked up by angering the disney influencers. i don’t fear god or kpop stans but i do fear disney adults.

The right has four different social networks (five if you count Twitter, which you should), one of which is the current US President's primary social network, and the left kind of accidentally found ourselves having one, even though the people who run this site hate us and don't want us here.

People acting like Disney being fascist is new should go back and read the company’s history. Disney himself was a Nazi-sympathizer and only got into the US propaganda film game because he was also a staunch Nationalist. Before that he literally hosted dinner parties for Nazis.

Hi everyone, it's new article day. 🥰 Justin S. Harrison explored Kotoyama's "Call of the Night," and the way the series uses interplay between vampires and humans to discuss the profundities of life, mortality, and all that entails. It's a great read and we hope you enjoy it! #anime #manga

Updates: John Landis uncanceled for the decapitations. Remains canceled for siring Max Landis

I got fed up enough I wrote a rant/plea/scolding letter via Bluesky's feedback form/zendesk instance. Probably worth imparting sage advice via that form specifically, if only because many Bluesky users are older than the devs building Bluesky & so have advice on the myriad pitfalls to avoid:

It's been about 9 hours and still no warnings about the bot swarms. We may be in the clear for the moment.

... ... ... I'm more concerned that it's almost $8 for a box of cereal that won't last a single-person household a week, let alone a family.

Translation: "Thank you to the 14,000+ people who shared feedback on our community guidelines! We are officially laughing at the time you wasted writing them, and tossing them into the garbage to use Tumblr's 2018 guidelines. :D"

I mean...

This half-assed administration is just going to reuse the Rising Stars of Manga contract, isn't it?

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

One spike in the past seven hours... and that was from the server coming up and getting all the caching systems spinning up. You still see the spikes, but they're not threatening to cripple our servers anymore. I'm OK with that.

Whack A Catgirl: An Anime Fandom Time Capsule: Borealis Capps, takes a trip back to the early 2000s with a look at Asmodee Games' "Whack A Catgirl." She explores the game's flow and nods to a long-past but well-remembered time in anime fandom. #history #anime #gaming #cardgames

Sometimes it feels like everyone’s brains have been in the microwave.

This is why I got pissy about FFVII-2 being billed as a "remake," btw The original, like Trails, is a very old, and the OG story could have benefited and drawn in the new generation with new visuals and mechanics. By billing FFVII-2 as a remake, many replace the OG with it without realizing

Update: We're still getting the occasional load warning, but it's not every half-hour on the half-hour anymore. One over the course of the morning is... acceptable. I'll hold at this level for now, because it seems sustainable.

Started the Trails in the Sky remake today - it's good to return to this girlfailure gremlin of a protag.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

You should definitely watch the Ghostbusters cartoon, because it is straight up better than the movies. I'm not kidding, I rewatched it a few years ago, and it holds up marvelously. It's the best Ghostbusters has ever been.

In good news, the Trib picked the correct front-page photo today:
