So many apps are deeply disrespectful about push notification permissions. Like you consent to being notified if someone directly messages you inside the app and suddenly your phone is lighting up with "Here's what Humphrey Dipshit has to say about Synergy" fuck off. Permission revoked.

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

I heard #slaytheprincess reached 1 mil copies sold!! I wonder if there's a million possibilities n princesses we in theory could've met

not the first person to say this, but video games' closest artistic sibling is theatre, not film. immersive theatre, for sure, but there's overlap in less-experimental, proscenium-style plays as well

Incredible interview here with @icepicklodge.bsky.social's lead game designer on Pathologic 3, Alexander Souslov 80.lv/articles/pat...

Just saw someone ask for recommendations on reading about the Nuremberg trials but they had their replies to mutuals only and I'm devastated

Justin Webb just introduced an item on BBC R4 by talking of campaigners in Scotland litigating to "keep biological males" out of women's prisons. No longer bothering even to pretend to be constrained by the BBC's 'rules' on editorial independence to keep his personal bigotry under wraps.

That would be because the right wing / continuity-Britain media ecosystem knows he can be relied upon to be a faithful servant to their interests. Even more faithful than Starmer.

Congrats to France for actually kinda nutting up and treating Musk like the pedophile he is very publicly documented to be but let’s be honest if France is doing that first every other country really fucked up here.

Farage would debate Starmer. Farage would debate Badenoch. Farage FEARS Polanski.

I love watching Defunctland because everyone who ran Disney parks at any point talks exactly like a Kain from Pathologic

#pathologic warmth and love

Harry Potter fan in 2026: yes the author is a Nazi with ties to Jeffrey Epstein but I don't see any of that when I buy my annual wand at the Wizarding World in Florida

Jeffery Epstein collaborated with major figures in tech like Peter Thiel to target trans people, especially trans women. This thread is about how I & many others have been directly affected in the tech industry by this coordinated campaign of transphobia & hatred.

I started the most recent petition to decriminalise abortion. The live debate in the Lords is UNHINGED. Lots of old men SO angry that women can make choices and take pills at home away from the prying eyes of anti abortion nutters www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

okay this is fucking huge

Epstein encouraging someone named Bob to do "piece on transgender in the bio world" in February 2016. Looking more and more like the "biological" framework fascists and terfs use had its genesis around this time at Epstein's behest.

That's Labour kicking off Scotland's 2026 anti-trans election in the paper that campaigned to keep Section 28.

Then and now the focus on individuals - Peter Mandelson and Michelle Mone - diverts attention from the real point. Our institutions, which should protect the public, just nod along with what is a kind of theft by the privileged. No one goes to prison, no one is ever held accountable.

So much of this sleaze was in plain sight. When US Ambassador, Mandelson took Starmer for a photo opp at Palantir, a client of Global Counsel in which he had a huge stake. This was a monstrous conflict of interest and it was all public domain. Why did Starmer think it appropriate to go?

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

@monicalennon.bsky.social @paulsweeney.bsky.social Why are you okay being in a party that would have me raped in prison?

The Scottish Prison Service has an effective policy on trans prisoners based on expertise and experience. Folk concerned about women prisoners' safety should look at the stats. Trans people are not, and never have been, the problem. This is reactionary and should have no place in Labour's manifesto.

One of the most depressing things about trying to sound the alarm on the "Gender Critical" movement back when it was gaining traction, was that one of the main transphobic activists of the 2010s was a woman who had groomed a minor under her care, and everyone just stuffed their fingers in their ears

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

I am not gleefully predicting this, just speaking from some experience, and trying to steel folks for the right timespan on fighting this: within 2-4 years, there will be Very Serious People demanding you give up asking for accountability on this stuff, and in fact *you* are the problem for doing so

Feminists have been talking about the scale of men's sexual violence, particularly towards kids, for ages only to be dismissed as hyperbolic or dishonest. We see how many - across politics, industries, etc - & yet it seems the lesson will be about power, not patriarchy.

It’s not surprising if you remember the Internet pre-2012. r/jailbait won “subreddit of the year” in 2011. 4chan was completely saturated with CSAM. It was not just prevalent but very openly so.

There have been stories about this floating around, but now we are hearing from the nurses and doctors that ICE is, in fact, torturing people and leaving them to die in the middle of the woods in subzero temperatures without coats or phones.

I read it. So *breathes* DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN AUCTIONING CHILD SEX SLAVES AT MAR-A-LAGO

Anyone who cares to know the truth already knew that the Wes Streeting hit job on me and GLP was an intellectually dishonest and morally revolting attempt to cover up the tragic consequences of withdrawing gender affirming healthcare from young trans people. But this data makes that clearer still.

Also not surprised that Musk is in the Epstein Files given that his app now has a built in child sexual abuse function.

And worth noting that a trans person failing to disclose their sex assigned at birth may also be rape, per the latest CPS guidance. And so it is very much policy rather than principle which seems to underpin the direction, here.

A “genius”, I’m sure Rowling called her. And said she’d fund her legal battles.

congrats to maga for protecting and putting the entire epstein list into positions of power i guess

Don’t ever let people forget this.

Frankly, more people should be mad at him. Not for creating 4chan but deciding to create a "containment board" for news/political threads and not deleting it when people vocally complained that it was full of Nazis who were always breaking containment.

In light of everything, one reason ICE needs to be abolished at the absolute minimum, is that it is one big pedophile ring. Every single ICE officer is either sexually assaulting minors, or is complicit with the sexual assault of minors happening within their organisation on an industrial scale.

I hate the way that “free speech” has been corrupted so badly that is now almost meaningless. Everything from wanting to abuse minorities to breaking the law is now “curbing free speech” or silencing someone. Authoritarianism dressed in democracy’s clothing.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1939: Hitler delivers a major address to the German Reichstag at the Kroll Opera House to mark the sixth anniversary of his rise to power. The speech is most famous for Hitler’s “prophecy” regarding the fate of European Jews in the event of a future conflict. /1

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Don Lemon on January 20 after the Justice Dept. first threatened him: "We were there chronicling protests... Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved... That's it... It's called journalism. First Amendment."

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

We can now name the Oxford Professor said to have raped a junior academic: Bent Flyvbjerg.

Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives. No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.
