If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

@dark1x.bsky.social I think Corey asked on the podcast that went up today, but I remember one of the devs in this video mentioning that Sneak King was the only commercial dual system disc, and that it wasn't done by anyone else because you were basically trying to cram two games onto one disc.

Legal NGO Adalah said that the discriminatory nature of the bill has been evident throughout the legislative process, “during which lawmakers have repeatedly stated that the law is intended to apply to Palestinians as punishment for the killing of Israelis”.

Israel's parliament is working on a death penalty law, but only for Palestinians
The sentence is to be death by hanging.

The best thing about dual screen Android devices is it's caused loads of work within the emulation community to get dual screen output stuff working but once you get past the Wii U/DS/3DS it's just batshit stuff like the PPSSPP creators making it so you can zoom in on a random section of a screen.

Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.

i have gotten some surprisingly adverse reactions over the years to calling CoD/Battlefield etc "american military propaganda" even though I don't even think that's a very cutting statement as much as it is just a literal statement.

No because any black scholar, feminist scholar, (writer, thinker) could tell you it’s never been about gun rights, constitutionalism, states rights, or whatever other bs
The only consistent underlying ideology of the right is the violent and material oppression of marginalized people. Period.

The right is arguing that federal agents should be allowed to summarily execute you if you are carrying a firearm—after years of warning crazy people that federal agents would come and seize your guns.

Did a deep dive into Mishima and its decade-long wait for a Japanese release
Decades after its planned premiere was canceled, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters has finally screened in Japan. Paul Schrader’s film blends biography and staged fiction to examine how Yukio Mishima shaped his life, beliefs, and public image into a form of performance.
