[harassment, suicide]
Friendly reminder that RetroArch devs alongside KiwiFarms harassed and bullied Near/Byuu to suicide.

RetroArch devs literally had an IRC channel dedicated to shitting on Near. Yes, they absolutely share the blame.

I often see the categorical condemnation of people based on where they live, absolving oneself and those in one's area of any wrongdoing and conflating region with morality or merit. Dunno if you meant to condemn all rural people for the foolishness of a few, but it came off that way.

They missed my favorite! Maybe next time. #kyoko-otonashi #kyoko #maison-ikkoku #rumiko-takahashi #takahashi-rumiko

Having lived in a rural area, I hope it doesn't come to that. The theatre kids, the bored dropouts blowing up stumps with their homemade explosives, the stoners, the smoker kids, the folks who are looking for a way out trapped by miles of shitty fields of grass, the desperate few good teachers...

Is it in a jar on a shelf next to his copy of Mein Kampff?

This is a fascinating read but also
I feel so old
because there are literally no handhelds, to my knowledge, that predate my ability to form memories.
Nope, I take it back, there's the Microvision. It had cartridges, so I'll count it.

Rumiko Takahashi's birthday? #rumiko-takahashi #maison-ikkoku #gif

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

I have missed Starry Night a lot over the years.

Yes, HOWEVER every turncoat we see who knowingly collaborates with the alien capitalists is white. Like, I think we see a very few non-white collaborators, but none we watch turn in realtime.
Remember, "*claps shoulder of other white guy* I knew we had a lot in common the moment I met you" guy?

I don't know what else it's called, but there's a thing I've been thinking about that I call the Kyle Reese Problem: If you needed to know if someone was from the future, could you?
We as viewers know Reese is from another time. We watched him teleport into an alley. We know a bit about th[...]

hi, cis folks in california!

My wife suggests yellow, because if it's the Site In Yellow at least we'll *know* why they're going insane.

this was funnier in my head

an Ikuhara Precure would be an utterly fascinating thing to witness and they would never let him do it ever again

You may notice my handle has changed.

I have migrated from bsky.social, Bluesky Social's PDS, to myatproto.social, a general-use PDS operated by Blacksky Algorithms (blackskyweb.xyz) which is open to non-Black users. I used tektite.cc; it was straightforward and painless.

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

i'm proud to say that my most liked post of all time is...

I'll say I don't feel like my time reading Heinlein was wasted the way I do about Card or (ugh) Paradise Lost\*, but he was a what-the-fuck-a-minute kinda guy sometimes.

Granted, the answer seems somewhat clear. It's a fair question, but I suspect we have already seen the answer.
Not that I don't enjoy being proven wrong. I'm a pessimist, but pride isn't much of a factor in it.
