i do not "predict". i do not "run calcs", i do not "mindgame", i do not know "speed tiers" i click TRICK ROOM. and if it doesnt work, I DON'T WIN

Something that really struck me about the arguments transphobes regularly make about trans women trying to "get access" to things is this bizarre and backwards idea that women are immensely privileged in modern day society in ways that men are not, and trans women are just men trying to cheat.

I think about this all the time

ROMchip 2025 Fiscal Report Welcome to our 2nd annual financial breakdown—where we show you exactly where every dollar goes at  ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories. ROMchip  is entirely reader-supported. We don’t run...

We just published the 2025 ROMchip Fiscal Report, detailing how much money we raised last year and where it all goes! (it's coming out a little later than I hoped, but better late than never!)

anyway, here you can get into the nitty gritty of our funding model

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

the new season's crypt-crawling fashions are fun and flirty like every other season. I mean one day maybe we'll go for protection or something but that seems neither fun nor flirty.

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.

When you use slurs against an "unacceptable" member of a minority community, you're shortening the distance to you using a slur against everyone in that community. It's the same for misgendering and deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner. You might as well be deadnaming and misgendering ALL of us.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

cis people: doing it to anyone gets recorded by every trans person in earshot as a threat to do it to them too. also even if trans people thought that respect for real genders should be conditional (which they don't, but just to say) why should your cis ass get to make that fucking call

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️

Studios laying off hundreds and thousands of employees with the excuse that they can move production to the UK and not have to pay for healthcare because the UK has socialized medicine should be humiliating to the US government.

As easily as you have sworn off Harry Potter pish, you can stop buying games from Microsoft or Microsoft owned studios.

This is such a small ask and low bar to clear, there are thousands of other games available at any moment, but the impact can be huge.

Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

it's important to keep notes around reminding you of how much you mean to others <3

Squirrels bury so many acorns because they can't be bothered to learn to remember where they buried them so they just bury enough that they can always find one by dumb luck

Not sure we can claim cutting corners as "our thing" /s

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this.

This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.
