my boyfriend was reading a dense book in the mornings before work for the past few months and would come into my office to tell me about the best bits of what he just read. favorite part of my morning
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
today felt like a good day to cancel my disney+ subscription
this applies not just to the games industry and it's starting to feel like it might, in fact, be the Biggest Reason
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. 💖
I'm apparently not online enough to know what's happening and I actually love that for me
Today feels like a good day to remind folks about 5calls.org which helps you find your representative's number and also has scripts if you're unsure what to say.
I listened to miniminuteman and his friend do their april fools "podcast" episode where they conclusively proved that Atlantis is in Ohio. It was the chaotic energy I needed yesterday

The skill of knowing when something is 'good enough' and moving on to another area is a *vital* skill/sense to develop.
hi gang! does anyone have examples of games partially funded by government grants outside of the US? (other than e33)
alternatively: if you have experience working with those grants, would you be willing to talk to me about it on a short video call?
The 2020s are feeling very "all the bills of the past 75 years are coming due at once"
just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you
The perception of video games and studios as speculative investment opportunities is doing irreparable harm to the industry and its workforce. Idiocy of the highest order.
I will pick a strong, well-executed art style over realism every day of the week
given the state of things, probably the full allotted time 😭
How to win in November
but that doesn't make them feel like a HERO

1. Try and rush through legislation that makes voting without certain forms of ID possible.
2. Take away the ability of accessible institutions to help obtain the most expensive kind of ID. One many people now need to vote.
3. Authoritarian profit
IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
A 7 piece resin dice set in an open palm. The dice are clear and PACKED with opalescent mylar to make them incredibly reflective in a rainbow of colors, and the numbers are inked in a matte periwinkle. The dice also have ultra fine glitter sparkles throughout, but it is not well visible in the photo.
A secret gift commission that recently made it to the recipient!
This is an incredible photo.
"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"
I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.
