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.
The Dreams on a Pillow store page is live! If you want an emotional piece of Palestinian history, then please check it out! The team have been working really hard and are crowdfunding soon to raise more money to develop the game. Please wishlist 🖤

AMY GOODMAN: “Legacy media is in shambles.”
@democracynow.org legend Amy Goodman tells Hasan Piker what a mess the legacy media landscape is, and how independent media is now more important than ever.
It really frustrates me that we continue to nominate and give awards for queer content to big AAA assholes doing the bare minimum with their eyes rolling and lips curled when there are so many queer indies out there putting their hearts on platters that get ignored because they don't have the budget
Wishlisted, for sure. Definitely would love to stay in the know
so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking

Daniella smiles for a selfie by Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline while holding up "The Extended Universe: How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World."
HIGHLY recommend Vicky Osterweil's "The Extended Universe" which comes out this week from @haymarketbooks.org. Great blend of research and cultural criticism that gets into how Disney has shaped global policy w/ reach far beyond Hollywood by dissecting the business principles of IP.

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.
PLEASE. yall would not believe how much time we lost trying to ensure that Wanderstop's relatively limited use of video cutscenes would run on _just_ pc and steam deck. did you know they're NOT cross-compatible for video????? for some reason
Photos of me with text: It’s not offensive to swear. It might offend someone’s sensibilities but that’s different. It’s always an old person like: “In my day we didn’t use those words.”
Me with text: Okay then, how about you make a list of the words you DID use back in the day. And we’ll see who has the more offensive vocabulary.
Let’s go toe to toe, gramps.
