I love how quickly Disney/Hulu has removed the customer-fill-in "other" option for their canceled subscription outro survey

Captain's log, supplemental: hell yeah.

Far right influencers, the US government and national media all colluded with malice to cook a story that would target all trans people with violence before any facts were available that could contradict. You can’t call this tin foil hat thinking either b/c we all watched it happen in real time.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

“performative male” this is not 2014. They’re not trend tweaking. Hipsters are gone. Obama’s gone. This is literally just the new wave fascists telling men w any troublesome care or conscience left to stop being a pussy and get behind the dictator

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Introducing a new lossless data format, FLOCC

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

Me if you replace curry with several martinis

Hey #synthsky boost for ya

In fact, it's arguably where the asbestos comparison breaks down, because asbestos is, if undisturbed, "safe enough". GenAI on the web is more like microplastics: a low-grade, persistent health hazard that will remain harmful as long as it's allowed to persist.

next up: can you primary the times ed board

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

yeah whatever you know what *STARTS BLASTING ENYA'S "ORINOCO FLOW" SO LOUD IT KILLS YOU*

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Can't wait for the Democratic Party to shove Gavin Newsom down our throats in a general election and then blame leftists when he inevitably loses because he sucks shit

Whole lotta cowards don’t wanna say Happiness In Slavery

friendly reminder Bluesky is public and probably monitored real time by every law enforcement agency and it's extremely unproductive or even dangerous to violently threaten anyone, especially public figures. think before you post! it's good to be angry, but don't risk your safety over nothing

If they truly want people to be healthier, it isn’t that hard. Start with universal healthcare and basic income. Childcare. Paid time off. Clean air and water. Masks in healthcare. Free education. Vaccines. An end to food deserts and more affordable fresh food. /10

If you think COVID vaccines should continue to be available to all: take 5 min and add your comments at the link below. (Advice for what to say in the linked thread.)

I lost a handful of followers after the Fuck Nazis post so lets see if we can get a little more Fuck Nazis Fuck Trump Fuck Right Wingers Fuck Bigots Fuck anyone that voted for Trump What are you doing following a trans, nonbinary smut peddler in the first place? Fix your hearts or die, idc which

Again, do *not* underestimate his determination to purge the US of all vaccines. Do not believe him when he says he doesn't want to take away anyone's vaccines. He now has the power to succeed in his two decades-long quest to eliminate vaccines.

then how about you don't fucking use it

So what's this then? literally just took this screenshot from your Terms of Use page: soundcloud.com/terms-of-use

Flat-out deleted my Soundcloud. If AI training is adopted across the board, I will sell my music exclusively from my own website. FUCK all these companies devaluing artists. Fuck. I hate this dystopia so much.

This original thought brought to you by the news that Clair Obscur’s composer was found on sound cloud, leading creatives to redouble their efforts to put their work out there…swiftly followed by soundcloud announcing they’d be scraping everyone’s audio for AI.

If you’re on @soundcloud.dev and you care about your music not being fed into ai slop, make sure to go cancel that subscription, delete that page, and tell them why

As video game journalism outlets steadily disappear, we don’t just miss out on coverage of indie games that need exposure to succeed. We also lose important industry watchdogs. Fewer reporters means less scrutiny of labor conditions and industry practices, shifting even more power to AAA publishers.

We had a blast last week talking with @awildjessichu.bsky.social about the brutality of nature, Blue Prince, and Magic: The Gathering.

Legendary theater that was beloved by David Lynch; help them out if you can!

Since then, I've seen multiple friends go from barely holding on, pre-realization, to absolutely blossoming into this vibrant, euphoric version of themselves. It wasn't just life-saving, it was life-starting. I couldn't fathom denying someone that kind of happiness.

do any mutuals have like, serious projects youre working on that i might not know about? i know a couple of you have music/game/indie industry podcasts that i havent gotten a chance to dig into but if you work hard on like a regular publication, or show or video series i'd like to know about it

you don't owe this shithole world success by its twisted fucking standards

I'm not avoiding Unity because I don't like their terms; I'm avoiding them because I have no idea what their terms will be when it suddenly matters a lot.

this scene changed me as a kid and i never realized how much i would constantly be grappling with this dynamic as an adult, on both sides of the reins

I have a “saved messages” telegram group I’ve made for myself as a reminder tool and today’s note is “goose eating choke me daddy” and I can’t stop laughing

tariffs are not an "unforeseen circumstance" that would constitute an acceptable reason for a company to renege on an already-placed order, and any company canceling orders so they can try to charge more as a result of said tariffs should be boycotted into bankruptcy.

Appreciate that the South of Midnight credits feature an Alumni section, instead of not crediting (or "downgrading") people who depart before the project ships. It's a respectful way of handling an inevitability on years-long productions and should be the norm. Congratulations to the team 🙏

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.
