DON’T. PRINT. LIES. IN. THE. NEWSPAPERS. Every damn day. It’s exhausting.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

I was hired on as an intern for what became CoD4, and two years later was paying off car & student loans - because Vince & Jason had set us up to rightly share in our successes. The industry still hasn't caught up. Vince has always been around, and I kind of thought he always would be. Awful stuff.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

After 5 years of uploading. Pixeas and Henry is finished Thanks for reading!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Reagan was bad. I think a good thing to remember about this stuff is that most of the guys around Reagan thought FDR was as evil as I think Reagan is, but they still worked to sell Reagan to the public as the true inheritor of FDR's legacy rather than a repudiation of it.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Not to be a bummer but if you need to know how much the right lusts for wolf death look to Idaho and Wisconsin for examples on how wolf hunts have been going. Shit's depressing, sad, and frankly deranged. If this goes through it will not end well for the species. They're too political.

Who could’ve possibly foreseen

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Something has gone wrong with my hotel's bill from Furfest 2025. I'm trying to call them to sort it out, and...

Ngl it really bothers me when people go “eh, this is the norm now” over this or getting their photo taken now whenever they’re visiting the US. It’s not normal. And it shouldn’t be brushed off so easily either.

Another gross thing he’s done is make saying Merry Christmas into this culture war bullshit where people can use it like a slur, I’ve always said it to people because that was never a thing you couldn’t say and literally the only time I’ve felt uncomfortable saying it is when shit like this happens

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant. Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Happy Spotify Wrapped Day 🎉

i am now saying stop using Spotify

A fellow furry has been kidnapped by ICE thugs. Ardwoof's family are fighting to get her released. Please help in any way you can. Share, repost, donate! Free Johanna! @opalmutt.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

I can only hope that democrats actually find their backbone on this topic. When we say trans healthcare is lifesaving it’s not a joke. Especially for me. I’m intersex and my body has not naturally produced hormones at adequate levels in years. Without HRT… it’s a death sentence.

Blu created my low-poly model. If there's anyway you can help them fight this or set up a paypal alternative, please do.

I think some people don't understand what the point of calling these lines are. Yes, it's to express displeasure at the specific censorship and that is important, but it's also to consume resources and time. OK, but why does that matter? Simple, if you do it enough, the normies will notice.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

another finished YCH! this time for @matetamaskan.bsky.social! 🚀

Keep making calls! This whole weekend from the 27th to monday the 1st needs to have Visa and Mastercard SWAMPED We need to send the message that we will fuck with their bottom dollar unless they quit targetting adult content creators and sex workers!

Me, before watching the trailer: "Banned? This is crazy. Who doesn't like horses?" Me, after watching the trailer: "Oooooh. THOSE kinds of horses." Also me: "I want to play this game right now!"

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

If you're THAT desperate for furry game, remember that there's tons of indie furry devs out there who are making them with love and passion. Don't feed the Corporation Slop.

🤬You absolute fucking hypocritical shit speckled meat muppet ghoul analog wannabe republican!🤬 If you truly, actually, genuinely meant anything, ANYTHING in this post, you'd sign all of those bills on your desk into law instead of vetoing them like you have. Nothing but hypocrisy from you. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

Three things: 1) No longer classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols is quite bad, and in line with many other actions from this admin. 2) Congrats to the cancel culture moral panickers. 3) I don't think a good political response to this is to shrug at Nazi tattoos.

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe. Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

Saw this on the other site and wanted to share it here. Furry artist ardwoof has been detained by ice for the last few weeks. here is the GoFundMe link their family/friends have set up to help with their legal fees: www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...
