"Hey we're sorry... we're doing it anyways because it's gonna make lots of money... but we're sorry"

cancel it!! Refund the tickets!! Apologizing but still doing it is less than an empty gesture! it is actively being complicit while pretending you're not!! Bear the consequences of cancelling it!!

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

you should buy Flowerdrops, it'll NEVER be on GamePass (or any other Microsoft storefront, for that matter, fuck them) not to mention it costs less than 1/3 of a month of GamePass Ultimate.

the total sum of money made for charity over the years (only that i participated in) is...
$9,748,184.49
and that's only what i was part of!
imagine how much more the site facilitated that went to various causes.

She's 22! She's autistic

Where are the people who are supposed to defend her? Where are the governments who should be outraged by the abduction of their citizens?

Why is no one doing anything to stop the abduction of the flotilla members?

Why aren't governments standing up for their citizens?

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

All the fire extinguishers in the Park were seemingly repossessed when Manny Land shut down.

This is very convenient because it means I don't have to draw them!

Welp, though I wanted out, I've applied for some jobs at game studios. 🤷

I desperately need cash flow so I can get my car fixed (plus other bills). 😓

Over 100 years ago my Great Great Grandpa carved a toy gun when he was little. 🔫

I am now scanning said gun and putting it in my video game. It will be memorialized in technology he couldn’t have forseen.
