You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

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

...I get that we sound like crazy people to anyone not online enough to know who Posobiec is, to know what QAnon is, to know what Pizzagate is. People who don't watch press conferences and roundtable and the insane fucking fascist shit being spoken out loud across the internet. I get it.

Here’s this week’s Better Offline. I’m joined by @davidjroth.bsky.social and @vicmsong.bsky.social to talk about Sora 2, Meta’s AR glasses, the “friend” pendant, and why none of these products can ever truly deliver meaningful friendship.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Never again let it be said that the NYT has no investigative reporters! They hired one & ALREADY found out that the Republicans contrnl the Senate!

Coming soon: Which party has control of the House! They're working on it & if they're spared, someday they'll find out!

Actually naming the relevant party rather than just saying “the Senate”? Is our Sulzbergers learning?

None of the people sitting at the anti-antifa round table with Trump today would exist if it weren't for Twitter. None of these people would flourish without rage baiting the algorithms. And this is where we are now.

So good news, I'm still working at my store during renovations
The district manager confirmed that yesterday

Next week though, I'm only getting 11.5 hour paycheck

So any help would be greatly appreciated, especially being able to make breakfast like this, which we didn't get before the move

Fen took a picture of the breakfast they mostly made (their roommate cooked the eggs)
Eggs
Bacon
Sausage patties
Biscuits and gravy

This is the 2nd time I was able to make this

It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.

Dinner time reskeet. I'm a disabled queer man who can't survive without your help!
