This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Some thoughts on yesterday www.garbageday.email/p/the-logica...

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

when you want to know what Dujour thinks

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

caturday innit 💃💃💃

We can’t have an accurate conversation about trans identity

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Did a new one

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

EXTREMELY LOUD CORRECT BUZZER

This. I cannot emphasize enough how influencer and hustle culture have completely changed the internet from "weird and wonderful things people make for the heck of it" to algorithm chasing joylessness.

Where's my Breakfast? - Daniel Arthur Oil on Panel

This itch.io NSFW policy change is unfortunately nothing new, the problem isn't the platforms themselves but rather Visa/MC strong-arming these services into revising their NSFW policies. So if you're eligible I invite you to sign this ACLU petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

when you open a service you've been using for a decade only to find it out it caught the virus

i hate the myth of infinite growth. have you never felt the joy of a spring after a long winter? hibernating for a while and feeling the relief of the sun shining on your face once again? THE PURE HAPPINESS OF “WE’RE SO FUCKING BACK”?????

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

In years to come we'll look at this era and wonder why in light of a global pandemic, economic inflation, growing inequality and technological upheaval we decided to make the private lives of a minority considerably worse.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

#SaveThePCC Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease. For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below; you.38degrees.org.uk/p/princechar...

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros. Do not use it to create art or writing. Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is. There is no ethical use for AI. Let it die.

The Simpsons Hit and Run (2003)

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

The media since 2015.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

finally some worthwhile journalism in Scotland

I'm still open for PT freelance work in level design/art/dressing (consulting too!), social media and marketing design, graphic design and video editing and whatever else you think I can do - more in this thread but just so you know I am here and ready to wear your hats!

great day for Fergus images

pay attention ME (fergus)

I hate that going on the computer is just for getting mad now. computers used to be for sending your friends a mysterious file called free_drink_coaster.exe that popped out their cd tray when they ran it. we have lost our way
