I love this!

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

UK bluesky users maybe you want to be part of this?

Of course! It's a treasured possession. ❤️

Yes! It's gorgeous. Best FFXIII-related thing Square ever released. 🥲

A whole kallax square full of PS3 slims, standing on end. Four in all, plus a PS4 pro. The third PS3 along is white with pink bits showing, which of course we all know is a limited edition Final Fantasy XIII Japanese console. Bought back when I thought that game might be good. 🥲 On the shelf below is a stack of Xbox games, including both Buffy The Vampire Slayer games and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

Also does anyone need a PS3? ‘Cause I’ve got, uh, some.

A CRT TV with a built in DVD player sits next to a SNES with the Actraiser cartridge ready to go. On the TV is the title screen for Super Mario Sunshine. Wires trail from the component jacks to a GameCube, offscreen.

I’m going back, who’s coming?

An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. @thebookishtype.bsky.social, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Go support them!

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it.

You are not a child anymore. There are other stories.

Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

A powerful game that I strongly recommend. It treats its tricky subject matter beautifully.

J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different?
here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225...
& here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Everyone is celebrating this because it's good. But it’s important to remember it's also funny.

This applies to everything, for the record. The theme park. The video games. Fanfic. All of it.

JKR owns Harry Potter. Singularly. It is HER franchise, full stop.

Even if you try and justify whatever fan-created works you like as not giving her money, it still promotes the franchise as an entity

Genuinely give AuDHD people basic income and housing, give them a bit to settle into their routines and recover from the trauma of survival, and then be ready to see shit pop the fuck off

🥳

What is it and where can I play it??

no one actually recovered after covid

@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

you name it

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

pokopia comic Torkoal asks ditto to make a path to the pokemon center Ditto makes a lovely perfect path directly to the pokemon center Zoom out and Torkoal is climbing a big pile of rocks slightly to the right of the path: "oh no this is far too bumpy"

🐢 #pokopia

It is astonishingly good. 🥲

This conversation is exactly the kind of thing you dream of happening when you make a work of art. Extremely productive and honest perspectives, critique guided by a long-term and good faith engagement with the game. I'd recommend this episode to anybody wondering if Triangle Agency is for them.

A big shout out to all 11,500 folks across the creative industries who spoke up last year against the government's plans to give away our IP to big tech and AI grifters.

With nearly 90% outright rejecting the government's plans, the House of Lords noticed this, and align with it wholeheartedly.

I can't believe how close I came to swearing off Pokemon forever after Legends Z-A. And how forcefully and completely Pokopia pulled me back from the brink. From the lowest low to one of the franchise's highest highs.

"shows serious range." 🚨

The AIs are selling themselves at this point.

Aren’t like 70% of their movies about death

We can but hope. 🤞🤞🤞

No way! Both are more relevant now than ever. The evils of school/uni/adulthood through the lens of supernatural evil. Escaping the capitalist and authoritarian propaganda of the Central Planets by forging your own path with a crew of found family. There's so much more for these shows to say today.

Bouncing between Pokopia and Pokemon FireRed is like taking off your favourite slippers and putting on your comfiest pair of walking shoes.

Stunning victory in Stroud last night.

Look at that majority! 💚😍

Huge congratulations to @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social and the entire team!
