A lot of people are actually very uncomfortable with terms like 'clanker,' 'tinskin,' 'wireback,' etc. Saying re-branded things like that really does come across as 'I've always wanted to act racist."

making the frog an icon and ascribing power to it makes it less potent.

it was a meaningless costume, just some cheap random bullshit, and it's more powerful than they are. the frog doesn't need to be a symbol. let alone something people are scrambling to purchase from Amazon so they can own one

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.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

Your regular reminder that most people should leave their phone at home when you protest. Not in the car, not turn it off when you arrive. At home on the charger so it's pinging the tower as if you hadn't left the house.

They'll track you based on your phone being near phones of other protesters.

ACLU @aclu.org · 3d

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Definitely projecting something. He's clearly got thoughts he's uncomfortable with; he can't even bring himself to say 'rape,' for some dark reason.

He likely assumes others are interested in Bubble Bobble in the same way he is, which disgusts him.
