Quislings. They're fucking Quislings. Fascist Collaborators.
Maybe we need to stop pretending that these are centrists and just call them what they truly are: fascist enablers.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Alright, updated the Ko-fi goal for November
need at least 50% by the end of the month, but 100% is preferable to really start getting debt cleared up.

Great advice for the media.
''If [neo nazis] can't get an opportunity to appear in the media, they create one...perform public stunts... confect outrage (singing “Waltzing Matilda” in Adelaide on Australia Day, pretending to be “regular blokes” getting kicked out of the Shrine of Remembrance etc).''

We might also remind journalists on how to effectively report on these groups - crucially not doing the neo-Nazis' promotional work for them.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Seen plenty of talk about sentient weapons possessing people to make them more violent.
What about a sword that's seen too much bloodshed that finds itself picked up by an especially bloodthirsty person and so decides to possess them to prevent violence? 🤔
