this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

this is to me the same issue in terms of why I was upset about Larian: a pattern of behaving badly towards the labor that makes a game possible
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

Fun result of Paradox games' emergent systems: Quietly pointing out that feminism is useful to a ruler.
In both CK3 and EU5, if you don't allow female advisors, you'll have a bunch of talented women sitting around doing nothing. Hiring them is a massive buff to your government's competence.

Today's challenge: how to find history books on the actual Illuminati--the Bavarian philosophers' club, not the mythologized conspiracy theory. It's a real "gems buried under piles of crap" situation.

Turns out Tidal is only a few dollars more a month for a family plan than Spotify and they have a cool feature where they’re not running ads to recruit for the gestapo.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

In a reasonable world, randomly murdering people in fishing boats with drones would immediately get you impeached, removed from office, and sent to the Hague for war crimes.
The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.
