ah yes, landlords, a class of people famously very cool and normal about tenant rights and welfare
American friend, her husband active US military based in Australia now. Getting no pay, expected to work & if he takes ANY time its a mark on his record, grounds for dismissal. They had an email telling them to ask Aust. landlords for delay paying rent, Aussie’s flabbergasted at the treatment.
Get some Casey in your life

She’s rad and plays rad games!
Hey folks, I'm live once again with some more Tormented Souls 2, why don't you come along and say hi? Keep me company while I explore the spooky town. As always, all the signal boosts hugely appreciated!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery...

Stop.
Picking.
On.
Trans.
Kids.

The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

It’s the hybrid park and animal management sim that book Hammond pretended the original Jurassic Park was
The JWE Franchise has managed to ‘evolve’ all the worst elements of a park simulator and an animal care simulator into a soulless blob

Which is sad, given the source material. Because it could’ve been a great series…but it’s SeaWorld for dinosaurs but with robot employees
I don’t trust game studios to make management sims anymore, mainly because in the yesteryear of management sims there were consequences to you, as owner, for being a shitty employer…

…do we really think we’re going to see workers striking for better pay & conditions come out of any modern studio?
So Jurassic World Evolution 3 dropped recently…and I’ve had no desire to play it

1 was novel, with its…long campaign of managing 6 islands and getting your parks up and running with some unique challenges thrown in as well.
2 had more polish

But 3 feels like the worst parts of all of the genre
“I’m pretty sure I was wrong” *should* have been the point I stopped reading…

…I knew better and yet I still inflicted this psychic damage upon myself

What's frustrating is that as I read this, I knew exactly the thought process Jamie Oliver had... "What's Korean food famous for? Oh yeah, Korean BBQ! I'll whack some BBQ sauce in there, that'll make it Korean."

Good time to enjoy Anthony Bourdain reading that twat Oliver for filth.

Also Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it in the FBI playbook to disrupt left wing organising via quibbles like this?

Like…why even do this?

These are the people Visa and Mastercard listened to when they banned steam games btw.

the ones who are forcing you to upload photo id to use Al Gore's internet so they can "protect children"?

these people. and this is not their first abuse scandal.
JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.
Covenant Eyes Cofounder Helps Post Bond for Adult Stepson, Who Is Charged With Felony Child Sex Abuse
In August, Thomas Wideman, an adult stepson of Covenant Eyes cofounder Ron DeHaas, was arrested during a CSAM sting operation.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.
Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?
Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.
On social media and their website, the Liberal Democrats have claimed “Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID”.

But this isn’t the case, and we can’t find any evidence the Prime Minister said it was.

The Liberal Democrats have claimed Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said everyone in the UK will have to have digital ID, but that’s not the case.

Give it a little time for our tech bro overlords to reinvent basic comms… in the form of a subscription model /s
I mean…this is super basic business stuff.

As a former ops manager, I can tell you of my experiences of being forced to interact with coked out rich white guys who can grasp this super basic principle.

A comms manager/rep is who all questions go to and can be a scapegoat for when they fuck up
A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.
