Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Kinda tired of this now 🫩

do not let this fucking pass I beg of you.

The unbearable melancholy at the heart of Orbital Blues The space western RPG built on top of Bruce Springsteen and jazz.

“There was a lot of mess inside of me [that] I had to get out or it was going to choke me."

The creative trio behind Orbital Blues tells Rascal about the beauty in impotent frustration, especially against a space western backdrop.

I would not describe it as feel good but it IS some real potent schadenfreude watching her have to deal with what all the trans women the sold out and threw under the bus have to.

Congrats, Caitlyn. Now you know you will never be enough of A Good Trans for them.

Moore, legislative leaders look to curtail 'dynamic pricing' in Maryland grocery stores - Maryland Matters Gov. Wes Moore and legislative leaders unveiled legislation Tuesday they said will prohibit so-called “dynamic pricing,” to ensure that grocery stores are not using surveillance data to charge some co...

From when the bill was introduced:

“This is not a fair market,” Moore said. “This is a stacked deck. This is about profit … Profit that’s extracted from people who are seeing their bills increase and who are struggling to afford basic goods.”

URGENT! The Massachusetts House just passed a "social media ban" that would force YOU to upload a government ID or submit to a face scan to post online. CALL YOUR STATE SENATORS! 978-485-4694

Okay bluesky I need your help

I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros

Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home"

Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Been paying a sub to Wikipedia and Internet Archive since Musk bought Twitter. Doing anything feels better than nothing.

I know some you are afraid of the word "romantasy." But fear not. While I hold in my heart a true and earnest love of romance and the fantastic, and have so since my salad days, it is still a hater's heart. Sister Violet will take care of you always. Example below.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

And remember;

You should not give them any money.

The worse their wallets hurt, the more they're going go try and push back the ID check bullshit they want to use so badly.

Save Our Thought Punks Game Jam Information about the Save Our Thought Punks Game Jam

So I guess the vibes I try to put out there are coming back to me, because folks are doing a whole ass game jam *and* bundle *and* stream-a-thon weekend to fling me into my future like a steam catapult onto a safe landing pad on table ground. WUT.

What socials might someone follow to show support for this project? Asking for a friend. 🤓

Todd is a good follow

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:

1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,

2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,

3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic.

4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

Our rogue fates by Sarah Glenn Marsh. "Such a treasure" –Sean Astin.

Was looking through queer upcoming releases to see what I wanna preorder and came across this romance with a blurb from SEAN ASTIN???

A post I never wanted to make, courtesy of US healthcare.

Earnestly though, if this is the end of the ride, thank you so much to everyone who made sharing my thoughts and joy for this truly wonderful. It was beautiful. You are beautiful.

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

The cover for Batman: Dark Patterns by Hayden Sherman

Finally sat down and read BATMAN: DARK PATTERNS last night.

It is wild to see a timeless evergreen title happen in real time, but this is inarguably part of the Best Batman Books canon.

Tight, riveting mysteries, a vulnerable, raw look at Bruce and some of the most gorgeous art you will ever see.

Promotional graphic for the TTRPG system, Duality, now live on Kickstarter. Shows a futuristic looking city on the left blending with an old-fashioned, western scene on the right. Lightning is splitting the scene. To the right, a white goat is seen pulling a large cart of books. To the left, a multi-legged robot emerges from the back of a truck. Text reads: "Duality" and "World Shifting Shipping."

One question we’ve been asked: “Where do you ship from?” 🤔

We’re U.S.-based, but we're not shipping alone! Our printer has locations in France, India, Australia, UK & Canada.

What that means: we can ship closer to you; making things smooth, more accessible, and easier on the wallet! 🙌✨

Yesterday, Google chose to remove Doki Doki Literature Club from the Google Play Store. Their explanation is that the game’s content violates their Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes. DDLC is widely celebrated for portraying mental health in a way that meaningfully connects deeply with players around the world, helping them feel heard, understood, and less alone on their journey. Managing to achieve that—making a truly meaningful difference by using the power of fiction to connect to others—is what I’m most grateful for. It inspires me every day to keep making cool new things, things that can really reach others, especially those in need of connection. DDLC is available on many different major platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and more. We’re continuing to do everything we can to find a path forward for getting DDLC reinstated on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, we’re also looking into potential options for alternate methods of distribution on Android devices. We worked hard to bring DDLC to Android, and we’ve gotten to see so much love and enthusiasm from passionate Android users over these past few months. Thank you so much to the community for continuing to express your love and support for DDLC through the years. We’ll keep you updated on the future of DDLC for Android. - Dan Salvato and the Serenity Forge Team

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

If you're a Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign user, you can cancel Adobe right now, download Affinity for free, and replace virtually your entire workflow at comparable or better quality overnight. Just sayin'.
