Leibowitz was a small sane voice in the middle of chaos 👇
Yeshayahu Leibowitz was an Israeli Jewish Orthodox Professor

He is known by his term "Judeo-Nazis", to describe what Israel could be within the near future (and god damn he was right!)

He was sounding the alarm, 1992 👇

Watched South Park for the first time in what feels forever last night b/c I had nothing better to do and the entire setup was all to make Trump & Vance have sex and its like… y’all can do anything with your platform to be funny… and you blow your budget on outdated 90s low hanging fruit gay jokes

South Park has always been in the "petty dickery" territory even when it is correct about some aspect of the world it observes because Parker and Stone do what a lot of white men do and don't put their jaded cynicism toward trying to do something that makes things better. (3/4)

And yeah, like what Jon says later down that thread, I'm not saying this to be preachy or to say that all creative work has to be inoffensive, but there's a difference between "I have a thing to say even if it's difficult" and "I am going to disguise petty dickery as telling the truth". (2/4)

The sheer number of ads touting AI tells you how fucked and over-leveraged these companies are. You don't spend this much on marketing a thing you called "inevitable" unless you are seriously underwater and it ain't inevitable

Come for the righteous calling out of IGN and Audible for being complicit in bigotry, but stay for IGN trying desperately to hide all the critical replies (40+ before I stopped counting)!

Eat my shit, Rowling, IGN & Audible.

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

i don't understand why Steam Defender is a type of guy. like a week ago someone left a comment on a decade-old post of mine to correct me about all the value steam provides in exchange for taking a third of your revenue

bro they have a third of my revenue they don't need your help
this again but from steam defenders about Santa Ragione
to be specific, the exact energy being manifested by the itch hating crowd is "mark wahlberg re 9/11"

Alright I'm definitely gonna have to be more annoying about commissions, I'm short on rent and I don't get paid until the 4th so, y'know, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Good news: My eyes are totally healthy!

Bad news: Still had to come out of pocket more than I wanted so uh I guess I'm opening commissions now! Only taking two slots so be quick with it!

Reshares are appreciated!

I once saw an adult game get nuked because the main character's boobs were too small, causing an anonymous Valve employee to flag the game for having characters that are "too childlike"

Is that the real reason?? That's the fun of manual reviews by people with unknowable beefs with your art form 😃
"i would have simply made a work that didn't trigger the invisible hand of an anonymous valve employee with a highly specific unknowable beef"

"and if i did, i would throw away that project and start anew, confident somehow that this new project would not suffer the same fate"

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.
