It's the only thing you can do now, but it's a fundamental abandonment of responsibility by the capital class. Their wealth must be confiscated.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

idk how you unfuck the economics of game dev, but big studios constantly going "we just can't afford all these developers who we pay like 60% the market rate for engineering roles w/ comparable experience at comparable non-game-dev companies" doesn't reflect well on studio execs' basic competence

Shana does good work, please give this a look if you're in the market for a commission.

Hmm, getting visibility on my GOTY25 video has been a bit of a struggle, but there's a steam sale on now and everyone always likes when I do a big thread of sale recommendations, and all of the games in my video are on sale, so what if... Hmm, delightfully devilish Casey! GOTY25 Steam Sale Recs! 🤠

Evil Dead is my favorite horror film of all time, not because of the film itself, but because of what it took to make it. They needed a shot they'd never done before, Sam just started sawing some wood and strapping his camera to it. They needed an angle they couldn't get? They started digging a hole

Irina Ratushinskaya didn’t scratch her poems into a bar of soap with a matchstick, memorize them and wash away her forbidden work as a political prisoner in a Soviet labor camp for you to tell me AI is "inevitable"

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Ferropolis Game: Dread Delusion Dev: Lovely Hellplace 🇬🇧 Release: May 14, 2024 Screenshots provided by @josar64.bsky.social thank you!

we got AI boosters out here saying losses don't matter at all we gotta spread the cause and politicians saying it costs too much to feed kids so fuck em they arent the paying customer base

the problem with modern society is that everyone wants to run their country like a business and their business like a country but nobody wants to run their country like a country and their business like a business

They said it straight out when the vaccine was first introduced. There's no reason to think they've changed their minds. They would rather people die of cervical cancer than live lives they don't approve of.

merritt k being merritt k is one thing but what really gets me is the peanut gallery of aging ex fyad funnymen being totally unable to resist the temptation of talking like discount dril while implying mutual aid posters are welfare queens and adhd isn't a real impairment

wow this is fucking vile. just like heartbreakingly vile. we live in a time where disabled people are left to die, trans people can't get work to save their lives, even I ask a cis white dude who should be privileged is barely making rent each month. society failed us, and we help each other. 1/2

Honestly, straight up nazi degenerate art and cultural Bolshevism talking points, that's what this is. The nazis believed that art they didn't like was a sinister plot to undermine the German spirit, and neonazis have just repackaged that ideology.

genuinely unbelievable that as individuals we just have no choice but to tolerate that there are sometimes just malfunctioning unguided missiles zooming around the streets at absurd rates of speed because a few people think it’s cool

If you’re upset about there being too many people asking for money just wait until every single day from now on

I actually disagree this is even minor anymore. It’s millions of dollars of graft and corruption and they’re about to start railroading random citizens through the justice system with who knows what charges to cover it up. This would have been a major scandal ten years ago.

Combat Liberalism

You are right. No they shouldn’t. No one should have to be on here begging for money If our economy worked for regular people not only would fewer of us be doing it, but the rest of us could easily support those who were Instead we have cabrón going around rubbing salt into any wound that’s open

"If I spend this much upon benevolent institutions, I thereby purchase the right not to be troubled any further, and you are bound thereby to stay in your dusky holes and not to irritate my tender nerves by exposing your misery.” www.marxists.org/archive/marx...

Oh sorry.... “The English bourgeoisie is charitable out of self-interest; it gives nothing outright, but regards its gifts as a business matter, makes a bargain with the poor, saying:

If you care about #trans rights and have the money to spare, please consider donations to the Kawaguchi O'Connor Initiative Of all the organizations helping internally displaced trans refugees in #Seattle I believe they are the best They can use your help www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

You've probably seen that the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with four states with GOP attorneys general (Iowa, Nebraska, Alaska, and Texas), is suing the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). THREAD. www.ftc.gov/system/files...

we should actually teach minors that trans people exist and that you might be one and that even if you aren't, you still don't have to be 100% the gender you were assigned at birth. there is no "right time" to broach the subject with young people, unless that time is "as soon as possible"

If you see anything like this, it’s trying to trick you into installing malware. Don’t do it.

This is what happens when Japanese people are exposed to American Tokusatsu

So here for the transgender insurgency.

Hello everyone for no particular reason I would like to remind you that I have a patreon I use as a recurring tip jar if you think Im cool and deserve to live in these very very trying times. www.patreon.com/PlushMayhem

Valve has at least one dude working on submissions who is flat out racist and we've known this for close to a decade and yet nothing has changed

Take a lesson from authors and DO. NOT. SETTLE.

Hello, my name is Natalie, but all my friends call me 'Bekka'. I was kicked out of the house I shared with my ex-fiancee and child after a traumatic assault on me a few months ago, and I'm trying to re-start a new life on my own. I am starting from less than nothing, anything helps, thank you.

You can purchase Tenderfoot Tactics for less than $5 on Steam right now. The people who made the game share 100% of our income split evenly by hours of work contributed. A big chunk of that goes to me, and I could really use it! It's also a very good videogame. store.steampowered.com/app/1061610/...

It's always wild to find out that an author of transhuman sci-fi is an outspoken transmisogynist. Like, pump the brakes, buddy – you think personhood is mutable but gender is innate?

I have to pay up to my therapist, i have been banned from therapy unless i come up with 38 dollars by today to pay for last weeks visit. Im being strangled to death by poverty. Please consider supporting my stupidass art i waste my time on at ovaettr.gay or immediate help can go to tip.ovaettr.gay

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

I don't want to pretend this *isn't* shocking or ghastly but, like, when digital media experts are expressing concern generally about the data a game like Pokemon Go is collecting from day one, this is precisely the kind of end game they are thinking about.

My mother passed on friday, she was one of the few people reliably helping me cover costs so things are gonna get really hectic for me now, please consider boosting or donating if you have the means, this month is going to be really hard

Its been a little over a year since I started fundraising to escape texas. Im disabled and can't work and my living situation is unstable and while I'm eternally grateful for all the help so far, theres still quite a ways to go. #MutualAid #DisabilityAid #TransCrowdFund 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ gofund.me/85b60557

Hey Seattle friends! I'm going to be at Cal Anderson park tommorrow (friday) for Cutie Fest selling hand made dice! (as well as some old board games) its from 3-8pm! I hope to see you there!

Nice to speak to DeSmog to estimate the climate impact of the planned 15.5GW of fossil-fuelled data centres in Canada (wipes out 15 years of reductions). You can see why Canada's gas industry loves big tech so much www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m...

As we anticipate a social media ban to be proposed by the Canadian government tomorrow, it's worth noting in the Charter of Rights: "everyone" includes young people and "media of communication" includes social media.

Fair to say this was written in anger, frustration and despair. The NDIS cuts, and the way they are being done, are cruel. They cannot be supported. www.deepcutnews.com/p/health-min...

As a support worker of many years, I see the direct impact on clients and their families. The stress, injuries, exhaustion and illness that comes from not only having inadequate funding but being subjected to constant systems trauma when dealing with bureacracy
