I am not made for Capitalism. Every relationship I have feels cheapened and dehumanized by the exchange of money. Everything becomes a hollow experience because it is meted out by an arbitrary quantification of worth. It makes me feel as if the only true emotion or relational value is exploitation

A line that stayed with me from an old hiking book: > The safest place to store water in hot weather is in your body. People have died of dehydration with water still in their canteens. this isn't a metaphor for anything. finish your water bottle.

Hnnnnnng I am ALMOST DONE with Sea of Stars now. Did all the sidequests for that thing in the Moorlands. Now I'm just waiting for my partner to get home from work so that we can see what happens together. And I gotta decide which recently-released or -updated game I'm gonna pivot to after credits

Theyve mobilized faster against this than anything in the past 10 years and to me that pretty much says it all and justifies what so many have said about them collectively for anyone willing to pay attention

🚨 CW/TW-On Instagram, @Jersey.Noah documents the horrifying attack on a Trans event in the Tenderloin last night by SFPD This comes immediately following SFPD’s attack on the Trans March the night before, where many were left injured and five were arrested Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DaH8JEK...

I beat Sea of Stars (with one of my partners!) last night! The final boss was pretty good from a mechanics standpoint. I can’t comment on the twist because I accidentally spoiled it for myself. Anyway, thread of thoughts! I will be flagrantly spoiling the game up to the ending, so read at own risk!

The creator of the Ravian needs help escaping her transphobic religious family. Any amount helps! #mutualaid #RainbowRailroad

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

Reminder that there will be motion on KOSA and the KIDS ACT on monday Please contact your representatives literally right now of you can and demand censorship/surveillance legislation be opposed

PlayStation is deleting 551 purchased movies from its customers' accounts, reminding us nothing digital is ever truly ours https://kotaku.com/playstation-store-movies-digital-studio-canal-terminator-2000711013

Yeah, this is a great big flashing red light. OpenAI needs money. It's been relying on private investors for years. Going public would mean a broader pool of suckers. But then SpaceX went public and cratered. There may actually not be enough suckers to go around.

normalize women with a "beer gut". we are still cute

Holy shit Sea of Stars hit me right in the feels. I love the writing so much.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Status update: I'm still dealing with the aftermath and healing from this, and unable to work much at all. What little energy I have is dedicated to healing, attending testing appointments, and running support for my partner while she works to support us.

A lot of art is made by bad people. But only some very special art is an express fundraiser for harm

Please let my friend know you care if he lives or dies. Please let him know that the world wants him in it. You might be one of the few voices doing that, right now. Especially with the *everything* outside.

I was just informed that these Gardevoir TCG sleeves exist, and I need them so much hnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg www.pokemoncenter.com/product/10-1...

Mickey Mouse hands return in macOS 27 Golden Gate. The world is healing.

Welp all the game announcements have actually got me excited about new video games again. Alas, I am still broke. I may need to reevaluate physical games what I’m willing to part with in order to pick up some of the upcoming releases. Or, y’know, do without. My backlog is still full.

Eve is in debt again, so I'm going to start sending out another round of DMs. God, isn't it wonderful that we live in a country where young women have to resort to survival sex work immediately after turn 18, www.gofundme.com/f/help-trix-...

Gotta admit after more than two years of being called a crank and a doomer for saying that businesses will flinch when they’re made to pay the real costs of AI it’s nice to see this in the newspaper

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

They’re trying to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo Petition here, if you’re so inclined: c.org/KxhXznzBcD

Unspoken dysphoria over the past few weeks has been taking a toll on my psyche. I might have to vent about this eventually but it’s all the same song and dance routine I’ve done before. Exact same thoughts and feelings.

Wtf is happening under my eye?

I'm dependent entirely on my art for my livelihood, and it's as precarious and terrifying as you might think. I write for an underserved niche of queer readers who appreciate my work but who aren't in the best financial straits themselves. My work thus isn't "mainstream" or with "wide appeal".

it is so disappointing and honestly embarrassing that most big companies are gonna release games with that AI disclaimer and it'll be for something that could easily be done by someone already on their team....like holy hell its so pathetic, just pay your artists, writers, VA's

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

It’s now reached 107,000, which is amazing! Even with the govt trying to strip away our rights to live peacefully and freely in society, it is comforting that so many women are saying they stand with us. If you haven’t signed it, please do. Notinourname.org.uk Then tell friends and family.

I didn’t think it was possible to singlehandedly drum up worse negative hype for an entire showcase since Splitgate 2.

genAI is poisoning our water and planet you should hate it all indiscriminately even if it "never touches" the final product

The only other person with an income in the house just lost their job. Until they can find work again we're not even gonna have enough money for rent, let alone food. I know I ask for help a lot but this a huge emergency for my family.

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

Correction: Ms. Sonia just needs $872 more! This is DOABLE.

Confirming with my own eyes and pics what several fellow Washingtonians have said about this post with hundreds of shares and earnest comments: straight up misinformation

"Trump Lawyers Say He Has Authority to Tear Down Statue of Liberty" is a headline that should be appearing a lot more prominently.

"Grandpa, what did it feel like living through the 2020s?"
