When Skrillex released Quest For Fire and Don't Get Too Close back to back I thought, "brave to release the most fun and the most boring albums of the year at the same time". But now Don't Get Too Close makes me cry and I love it lmao

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

I will never forgive Fire Emblem Path of Radiance making Ulki one of the most gorgeous men in the universe, only for him to be one of the worst units in the game 😭

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Gave myself anxiety dread all morning bc I heard a new noise my car was making. Then on lunch when I was blasting music on my drive, I realized my music normally drowns it out which means it's an old noise and I can just pretend it isnt happening 💛 This car ownership stuff is easy

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

According to steam, early access is no longer an option for games with "mature themes" The culling of adult games continues.

🧵; Let’s talk about “Gay Death”

This term has roots traced back to the 80s AIDS crisis when the average life expectancy of gay men was 25-34 years. It was believed if you were still sleeping around at 30, it was only a matter of time until you got infected and died from AIDS.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

Still reeling from the moment a group of women passed behind me at the music fest and said, "yesss, he is serrrrvinggg. Little slut moment"

Looked around at everyone in the vicinity and I can confidently say it was indeed about me. #MyLittleSlutMoment 🥰😹
