I have my own ~nuanced~ thoughts about people expecting games media to simply not cover Microsoft but nogamesforgenocide.com allows for a very clear path to simply contextualize this every single time you talk or write about Xbox games or Microsoft. It is easy even if you don't think it is enough.
I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.
fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM
Hello Aussie nerds/artists! I’m looking to buy an ita bag from an Australian artist/maker. I can’t often make it to markets/cons because of money/disability so I don’t actually know who’s around anymore. If you are an artist who sells them or you know one please let me know! Thank you!
there's never been a better time to never use amazon again and consider going to an elusive "shop"
Aussie moots can we help a girl out?
Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position
The Vimes Boots Theory has been running up hard against "are these boots $200 because they're built right, or is that purely a brand positioning thing and they're made of the same 1mm-thick fake leather as the $50 ones"
"I want to support the artists" isn't even a valid reason to go to so-called blockbusters at the theater anymore. The studios don't even want to support the artists. The artists are just another roadblock between them and an optional fifth bathroom on the CEO's brand new yacht.
It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without.
Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

We should have never doubted this man
Hey folks! Need a map? I'm currently open for commissions - both traditional and digital cartography! Reposts and sharing is heavily encouraged and thanked for ❤️
The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.
The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.
That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.
(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).
I never want to be a killjoy so I won't get in the way of people dancing in the streets when he drops dead but I think one reason everyone is so thirsty for it is we tacitly understand that to be the only consequence he'll ever face. Which sucks! There should be way more consequences
I've been saying this for awhile but putting these ads in public places, where regular people, not companies, can see them is not meant as an ad, but as a threat.

Ah, the Hollywood VFX Shuffle!
CEO: You know what would save us money? If we moved our VFX people in-house.
Next CEO: You know what would save us money? If we laid off our in-house VFX people & farmed all that work out!
Next CEO: You know what would save us money?

spending decades treating computer animators and effects artists like absolute shit just so they don't have to acknowledge how dependent their movies have become on their increasingly frogboiled artistic capacity only to then unceremoniously fire them sure is a choice big movie studios keep making
the irony of having a one-on-one HR layoff meeting in the conference room with my Loki mural on it
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
I’ve been informed this is the plot of Dune
A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.
Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

Syundei (Go For it, Nakamura creator) just deleted their twt account bc of harassment. Those who witch hunt & dogpile a creator bc they love moral policing ""problematic"" fiction while ignoring that there's an actual person behind the work are my enemies. You people don't fucking deserve anything.
They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.
