is disney+ leftist? is todd howard a queer ally? is xbox game pass™ my friend?

One of my dearest friends is among the Black faculty her university are effectively purging. All of them will be gone in the next couple years.

This is a very thorough statement and I support the artists collective. I truly hope there can be a positive resolution. I want there to be a thriving space for interesting, political, and queer comics, but that also needs to come with fair treatment to the artists who make those books.

“A decade ago, the state of Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease.” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/priv...

Breaking: The shooter was a Geo employee who fired at the back of two protesters as they walked away from the facility last night. There had been a verbal altercation before the shooting, per Aurora Police statement, and the protesters had taken photos of the Geo employees’ vehicles.

No matter my feelings about the studio's upper management, this is still a tragedy. The amount of talent bleeding out across the industry is catastrophic. Many of them will find footing at other studios, or start fresh as independent outfits. Many more will struggle to find work and feed families.

This is the thing. It should be easy to reassure about the grid, about energy use, about water use. The benefits of datacentres to Irish people could be set out. Doing neither gives the strong impression they aren't doing this because they can't.

Bethesda is the subject of a BDS boycott as a Microsoft company by the way gang, we don’t need to be flapping jaw about whatever hot log of a press release Todd Howard has squeezed out this time

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

Its difficult to put my my anger over this into words. The modern Backrooms was born from the collective effort of thousands. That collaboration, all that passion/time was freely given because it made people happy. Now its being monetized. Its exactly like Ai and the internet.

Oh come on. Dude financed a series of lawsuits designed to literally bankrupt and shut down critical media sites.

The Eye exposed Covid profiteering back in 2021, long before this week’s inquiry findings that nearly £10bn of PPE was written off as wasted, and that a “VIP lane” fast-tracked the politically connected. 🧵1/2

"The facts of Palestine are spoken, and increasingly by Palestinians themselves, but they are met by a refusal to listen, by ears that prefer the drone of implausible denial to the unbearable weight of fact." www.equator.org/articles/mor...

On my reservation we don't eat the sturgeon anymore When we examine the fry they have toxic mining slag embedded in their flesh. It grows into them We sued the people responsible for this and won The people who did it were the Canadians

I always keep an inhaler in my purse. Yesterday I decided to put it in my pocket for the day because of the smoke, and realized it expired in 2021. I called the doctor for a new one and the nurse on the phone said “I need to check mine, because I do the same thing!” So now I’m reminding you all too.

If you would like to help indigenous communities in northern Ontario who have lost everything in the wild fires, you can donate with True North Aid. Miigwech. truenorthaid.ca

my extreme emotional response to this has been instantly clarifying: im like a starving man. the absence of inspirational leaders who appeal to my better angels and challenge me to do more has been completely corrosive. how can any community live like this, with no lived moral center at all

is a single one of the xbox studio leads, whose legs have very demonstrably been cut out from underneath them by management, actually going to stick up for their guys

microsoft do not care about video games. they want military contracts and ai growth forever. your creative career is not just a rounding error, it is to them a mistake they are actively trying to correct. if you're one of the privileged few big name directors your best move is to quit in solidarity

Todd Howard Said Some Fake Shit But Fuck Microsoft, Fuck Shareholders, and Free Palestine

It’s Landlord Grey

I really hope TNN can hit $7,000 before this weekend's out — we're about $500 away right now — on our fundraiser. We're trying to keep the lights on and, if things go well, start badly-needed fellowships for particularly marginalized trans journalists.

Brenda Fricker, the Oscar-winning actress who was well-known for her role as the Pigeon Lady in “Home Alone 2,” has died. She was 81.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

Kinda crazy how little reporting/attention there’s been stateside on what’s actually happening in Canada to cause all this smoke

I'm getting really sick of seeing rapists just get to promote rape on TV and in the government day in and day out with no consequences or truly any reaction at all at this point

Mayo Clinic is being sued by its former AI compliance lead, who is alleging the hospital network tried to hide its AI tool’s 67% error rate at patients’ expense. /1 futurism.com/health-medic...

every city and town in america always reacts the same to crime: more police, more patrols, more surveillance, more restrictions and it never works because crime only goes up when opportunities go down, but they only care about tax breaks for the wealthy, who prefer eliminating jobs to creating them

The Times has become of the most viciously, relentlessly transphobic publications in the country, and the competition is stiff. It's like the Daily Rowling.

Activists damage the building foundations of data centre 🫡 > The group said that they threw water balloons filled with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, salt, and acrylic paint at the under-construction facility.

“It is so demoralizing,” Zahra said. “As an Arab fan, I do not feel like my voice and people are at all valued in comic books spaces. How can I? Someone whose career was spent murdering my people and justifying our mass murders is praised constantly.”

Politicians, whatever their views on trans rights, should be concerned about this. A small group of dedicated & influential campaigners, bankrolled by a billionaire, are aggressively going after the rights of a minority group, & after anyone who dares question their actions. Wildly anti-democratic

I have wondered what would happen politically when extreme weather events driven by climate change became sufficiently visible. I did not expect that, independently, the International Court of Justice and Amnesty would come under attack from some of the most powerful people on Earth. 🙄

We’re rapidly approaching a situation in which it becomes legally hazardous to express any criticism of “gender critical” views. The combination of well-funded lawfare and well-funded media moral panic is extremely dangerous to free speech for everyone, as well as obviously to trans people’s rights.

what's it called when you couch regressive, conservative policies like this AI shit in progressive speak to sell it to leftists, and then if any leftists clock it as bullshit, you question their dedication to progressivism?

See thats not something you want your TV to tell you youtu.be/Q9uefFYe6bM

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

They just opened a cowardly short 14-day public comment period. Make your voices heard. PLEASE. Link Below 🔗👇🏽 eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

please also don't turn it into "well the problem isn't that he HAD bipolar, that's not his fault, the problem is that people with bipolar should never be trusted with jobs or responsibilities or freedoms*" *this particular job? no. absolutely not. but then again, should anybody be

a few good Jessica’s

oh yeah, to the unfortunate saps that enjoyed Mario Kart Retro Rewind like me, it is ALSO vibecoded. by the same person. gross.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

Read our story from July 9 about how an MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

In April, we published our first story about the surveillance machine at Madison Square Garden—an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. Read that here:

Rather sick of hearing from that disgusting bigoted hatemonger, how about we try and raise up some trans folks instead? If you are trans and are an artist, writer, gamedev, musician, or creative of some variety? Reply below with links to your work(s)! Only one rule - strictly no generative AI.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

‼️URGENT NEED‼️ I know this is a big ask but my family relies on having a car. We live rural. My disabled child has 3 therapies a week and I help my elderly dad. ANY help is appreciated as this is important for my son. I also do not have a village besides his medical team. $92/$5700
