Two people who attacked him in prison were arrested on suspicion of murder.

That's one less nonce on the planet. Good riddance to another waste of oxygen who rotted in the slammer.

Human-made art is more important than ever since we’re seeing more and more AI-generated slop and we must continue to convince more people that art made by human hands is what’s keeping everything alive

There is heart and soul in human-made creations. There is not in AI-generated slop.

Just added in enemy dismemberments and other death effects to have more of an MK-feel to the game.
Do you think this is a cool idea? I also have another finishing move like system in the works as well.

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Waterstones should be added to the list of companies to boycott.

Helen @helenm40.bsky.social · 19h

Belonging to the misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ 'gender critical' hate movement does not make you a 'gender studies' scholar @waterstones.bsky.social.

Whichever bigoted staff member curated that hateful, filthy display cost your company £60.

My bank account is getting scary...

If you want furry merchandise, BUY FROM ACTUAL ARTISTS.

Avoid AI-generated slop from corporations.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

It's time the current government resign and payment processors should never be allowed to dictate on what people spend their money on.

People need to continue bullying payment processors to show that people are still fed up with censorship/being told what they can & can't buy.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."
