This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

If you see this, post a kobold.

Deaths Door is 80% off on Steam right now, if you haven't picked it up then now it's a perfect time!! Don't forget to look for my little dog Conan, she's hidden in a secret item somewhere in this game!! store.steampowered.com/app/894020/D...

I don't really know how anybody can hope for larger scale action like a general strike when it's so easy to just do the "those blue haired libs want your cookie" routine, and the left is like "here's why we don't want cookies" like that's the actual fucking problem lol

Americans hear that rich people don't pay taxes and float off of rental income and instead of being angry about how unfair that is, they're like "hell yeah I can't wait for that to be me, fuck you all" and I don't know if that can really be fixed, I don't know if it's possible #political

high turnover in any system prevents the growth of expertise and skilled craft as it breaks the chain of teaching and experience being based down, this is something we've seen happen with dire consequences in the american tech sector

I do not hold business entities as sacrosanct and don't really care if Toys 'R Us/EA/etc. disappear, but investment capital always destroys valuable services and products while leaving scores of people jobless. It makes life worse for everyone except the predators strip-mining their "acquisitions"

Now, more than ever, we need to stand up against attacks on the concept of expertise, to push back on the idea that all arguments, no matter how poorly-supported or financially-conflicted, as equally valid.

Some of yall take headcanons a little too seriously in my opinion. When you start attacking a creator for what you think their character should be, I think you need to step away and take deep breaths

capitalism is like, a really really huge pyramid scheme. When enough people aren't seeing any kind of benefit of capitalism, everything stalls. The whole point is to circulate money, so when it doesn't- bc poor people have none and rich people hoard/accumulate it all- everything just sort of stops

For the price of a AAA game you can get both Final Fantasy Tactics and Hades 2.

Nintendo be like:

I will be a forever hater of the term “cancel culture,” a truly epic tool of context collapse and reductionism that has only benefited the powerful. Folks are always using this term to talk about critique of a celebrity and social campaigns against the marginalized like they’re the same phenomenon.

Tiktok is the biggest propaganda engine now, probably bigger even than twitter, cool #political

like, sincerely, the people who are entering the "male loneliness epidemic" stuff into our discourse are ignoring that women - not men - have materially, literally lost rights in the past several years the right to bodily autonomy was literally stripped from women! men are not the victims!

found a video by zoe bee that covers a lot of what i've been reading about lately! ^^

ICE has been arresting asylum-seekers in San Francisco for months now—targeting immigration court & sending people to far-flung detention centers. It's a constant stream of news. Readers often tune out. So here's a timeline recapping the most significant events so far.

Alternative manosphere to do list: 1) A sex positive, affirming etiquette guide to courtship and relationships specifically for a straight male audience 2) A serious conversation about setting and maintaining healthy boundaries 3) Celebrations of niche hobbies/art/personal weirdness (cont.)

I also want to mention that Andrew Wakefield was paid by a lawyer, representing families who didn’t want to vaccinate their kids, to come up with a study that he could cite in the lawsuit to give further credence to their plight. Aka HUGE conflict of interest

-Andrew Wakefield said not to take the official MMR vaccine because it caused something in the bowels which caused autism. However you should take his version of the MMR vaccine which he just so happened to have available for purchase. What a dumb world

Oh my god what a repeat of history. Context: the bad administration says that Tylenol causes autism and to use their recommended treatment instead, which so happens to be owned by one of their benefactors. In 1998 when the stupid and false “autism is caused by vaccines” study was published- (1/?)

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

Literally just a birthday boy 🥺

Since the abrupt firing of Jimmy Kimmel, Disney has lost nearly $4B in revenue and their stock has dropped over 7%. Good. I have canceled my Disney+ account and I hope you do too. 👍

I don't know about you, but Knights of Guinevere coming out the same day people are mass boycotting and deleting their Disney+ accounts is so perfectly timed and appropriate.

Every single social media platform: 'Come hang with us, we're cool with that!' Exactly one calendar year later: 'The VCs called and we are no longer cool with that.'

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Disney lost over $3.9 billion overnight due to ABC's decision to cancel Jimmy Kimmel. We can do better. Let's TELSA Disney/ABC

Don’t even think the people aren’t protesting!! We ARE. The REVOLUTION will not be televised but it WILL be live streamed. I just saw a video of @katmabu.bsky.social being thrown to the ground by ICE. We are OUT THERE.

It’s funny to see the secret to making bank in animation is creating serialized shows catered towards girls/young women. Felt like, for the longest time, this was a demographic the big companies did everything they could to avoid appealing to! They musta left just SO much money on the table.

this has been one of the longest weeks in a hot minute

We warned everyone that of all of this would happen a year ago. MAGATs denied it. Now it’s happening. We were right. MAGAts lied.

Nothing like hearing a former Fox & Friends co-host preach about “MERIT.” If DIVERSITY scares you, you fear competition. If EQUITY bothers you, you’re used to privilege. If INCLUSION offends you, you want to keep certain people out. We used to call that what it is: SEGREGATION

There is one belief common to all conservatives, stated or not, and that is the hierarchy. Everyone fits in it, power flows up, violence down, and movement or leaving it is prohibited

"the natural kind structure of the world wants us to oppress trannies" you are a coward who cannot even own your convictions. you foist your values onto a world that cannot speak against you, thinking thereby to wash your hands of the fact that you chose this out of your abiding hatred of the good

wow, seems like trying to find a chill middle ground with violent transphobes hasn’t really yielded the desired effect

Fascism is more easily defeated at the beginning...before it cements. We're in the beginning. Becoming numb to it is a form of capitulation. Resist.

Saying Anti-fascism is terrorism is like saying chemotherapy is cancer.
