Ian Watkins’ ex girlfriend reports him multiple times to the police for what he was doing and they treated her as if she was hysterical in every sense of the word. Misogyny is dangerously and deadly, it played a huge role in those poor children’s torment. Hope he went roaring

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Watched that Sony/AMD thing and I remain desperate for the epiphany that a rock-solid 1080p60 is all anyone will actually ever need.

The problem with Mastodon is that it makes you feel stupid for not knowing how it works.
That was the real hurdle Facebook and everything that came after cleared, you could just join, it didn't take any debugging or jargon. It just, worked. For a while.

An indication of how things have regressed from 2016 or so is that I dont see a world where a game like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus get green lit by higher ups in 2025.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says?

How has he shown himself to be unfit?

Conor Smith
By failing to return €3,300 paid to him in error by a former tenant, going as far as to ignore solicitor's letters

NYCNAFOFELLA
3,300 Euros? What the fuck are you talking about?

banjogall.bsky.social

Think.

NYCNAFOFELLA.

Well normally since Gavin Newsom is in America he would be paid in dollars, not Euros. Maybe you should take your suggestion? You filthy motherfucking Russian troll.

banjogall.bsky.social

You seem upset. Who's Gavin Newsom?

We're discussing Jim Gavin.

NYCNAFOFELLA

Looks like this fight against international Putin loving fascists is going international. And who the fuck is Jim Gavin?

banjogall.bsky.social

Jim Gavin was a nominee in the Irish presidential race, until he pulled out at the weekend due to a scandal whereby he owed a former tenant €3,300. Not sure what Putin and fascists have to do with this.

NYCNAFOFELLA

Announcing this on a board where Americans are in the fight of their lives against a fascist takeover may be a pointer....

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."
