I feel like anywhere outside of Chicago is questionable with a lot of stuff. I live in the suburbs about a half hour out and work in an area where staff is nearly all LGBT but the customer base is very... well, they're interesting. :/

Still better than Indiana by an effin landslide though

Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

Trump is destroying U.S. cybersecurity defenses after the Chinese just successfully conducted one of the biggest and most successful hacks on U.S. telecom infrastructure in history

Trumpism is indistinguishable from a foreign attack

worse, because of hollow faith and patriotism rhetoric

Eric Geller @ericjgeller.com · 12h

The Trump admin is laying off nearly 200 CISA employees & forcing dozens more to take new jobs at other agencies (sometimes across the country) or quit.

Morale & productivity are sinking at the already-depleted agency, further jeopardizing US cybersecurity.

My story w/ new details: bit.ly/3KLoptn

Layoffs, reassignments further deplete CISA

Some CISA staffers have been pushed out, while others are being told to move across the country for jobs outside their skill sets.

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

let me clarify, the performative allies, because there are plenty of them who will call themselves allies and day they stand with us, but do exactly none of the work to support their claims, including something so simple as to give up a chicken sandwich or a certain wizard franchise

lmao the cishets get Real Mad when you remind them that Chick-fil-A is still A Problem for LGBTQ+ people and that supporting them is supporting continued harm against us

enjoying the newer titles now that it feels like worlds are a little more open and less point a to b to c like the GBA/DS titles were. I really enjoyed the originals because I wasn't into jrpgs enough at that age, but once I started playing other jrpgs, I quickly tired of their repitition.

I have it on preorder and I'll be playing it, but right now I'm in the middle of Digimon Time Stranger and I'm having an absolute blast so I'm in no rush to get around to Pokemon next. I didn't play Pokemon between gold/silver and the Switch titles because they all felt the same, but I've been

A cousin of my mother's had schizophrenia due to PTSD and drug testing when he was in the military in I think the late 70's. He's no longer with us, and I rarely saw him because of his entirely preventable mental illness, but I think of him a lot when I see the things people justify saying online.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I still remember my favorite childhood friends' home numbers along with my parents' original number before they got rid of their landline.

I've been trying to be better about memorizing important numbers more recently because you just never know what's going to happen.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Ah yes, the protests where the *checks notes* protestors were absolutely the ones in the wrong, and not the goons that were attempting to incite (unsuccessfully) the crowd and then gave up and pushed and beat and detained them instead.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson signed an executive order shrinking the designated protest area outside the suburb’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility following Saturday night protests that “degenerated into chaos,” Thompson announced Monday.
