if we're gonna use this moment to crash course society on the state of internet discourse can we PLEASE get everyone familiar with sealioning, it's never been so important.

always cracks me up when discourse hits the rubberneckers phase of people pointing out what hyperbole they "just saw" lol

esp when I saw the original discourse for myself already

Oh dear, this is already bringing out the 'You shouldn't defend this game, it's icky art that makes me uncomfortable' crowd.

I've no time for them. After the (still ongoing) payment processor censorship mess, I'm pretty sure I'm in the 'unless it's actively illegal, let art be unsettling' camp.

As someone with a sizable following there, i'd argue even the engagement i get there isn't real. I can get 20k likes on a drawing and not a single person there will visit my patreon, here 500 likes leads to dozens of people checking it out.
The real people are here!

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

As of July 1, 2026 Connecticut will be henceforth known as the land without residential Parking Mandates!!!

A huge thank you to everyone who pitched in, testimony, emails, calls, op-eds, this was truly a statewide grassroots groundswell. What started as a silly idea is now reality

it's been bumming me out how recently it feels like I was engaging with stuff that's actually ten to twenty years old now, 2016 still mentally feels like two years ago max, not "four years before a global lockdown thar started six years ago"

No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.
In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

Of course the exploitation of the workers is a given but that part is usually well obfuscated by production and distribution. But DLC for car features? Planned obsolescence? Unrepairability? Slamming cheap tablets into household appliances for no reason? We can see and feel that intuitively!

"I can have an opinion on something without playing it, for example impressions, or to know that I won't like a thing"

as a concession I will allow you can have opinions, just not the same opinions
My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.

We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid
“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”
