I was always confused by the “BlueSky Elder” tag. I’m like “Cool, this person has been around since the site was invite only, why does that matter?”

I get not wanting to follow anyone who’s following a bunch of Nazis, but this constant need to put labels on everyone is dumb.

Folks who are living off of anime dubs have every right to ask for appearance fees. Especially those who primarily work on non union anime dubs that are recorded in Texas.

The fact that classism is even a thing in the VO industry is genuinely wild.

I truly miss the days when the number of followers and “engagement” didn’t matter. When the quality of a person’s work spoke for itself.

Nowadays everyone has to constantly keep pleasing soulless algorithms while sacrificing their happiness in the process.

The modern internet sucks.

His brain is beyond fucking fried if he no longer can tell the difference between a public post and a DM.

I’m convinced that resistance lib accounts are just looking for any Star Wars related post to get mad about.

Gosh, imagine cancelling an entire video game because you’re scared of offending Mark Kern.

What a bunch of spineless cowards.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

You can if the Democratic nominee is as old as Lee Greenwood and agrees that Lee would be a better pick than Bad Bunny.

Kind of wild how a lot of the dems who spent the last election warning people about a full blown fascist takeover aren’t all that bothered about the fact that the fascists have successfully taken over.

Man, remember all those “Oh, he’s not actually go to do all the horrible things he’s going to do. It’s going to be just like his first term” articles? Boy, those sure aged like rat piss, huh?

I was today years old when I found out the person who unironically believes that insulting Gen AI is racist is the person who came up with the Starter Packs.

Watching the same folks who openly threw their LGBTQ colleagues under the bus during the strike suddenly act like they’re the greatest LGBTQ allies that ever lived is downright infuriating.

It's nice to see my colleagues openly show their support for the lgbtq, but it's also disappointing how silent that support was when your lgbtq colleagues were being attacked a few months ago by the same community you are standing up for.

I can't help but be really disappointed to see some people say that "you fans are safe with me" which is a valid sentiment, but also continue to accept paychecks from a company that keeps recasting their colleagues, while the fanbase treats those people like shit.

Democratic Party turboloyalists are often some of the most toxic people I've ever encountered. Whereas the Right are generally honest about all the vile things they think and believe, this group of centrists adds the additional insult of pretending to have some sort of morality and knowledge. Vile.

Why do I have to learn about some hippies' shitty little boat on the second anniversary of the most deadly act of antisemitic violence since the Holocaust? I will never forgive these idiots for this.

You don't trust the Israeli Foreign Ministry. I don't trust a bunch of Swedish Hippies on a racing boat.

I'm going to go with the Israeli Foreign Ministry:

They’ll still happen, but they’re going to do whatever they can to not recognize the winners.

Either that or go extra hard on gerrymandering.
