This continues to happen. There isn't a worse looking person claiming to be a millennial now that Charlie Kirk is dead. She took the top spot.

It's so funny how every time you see a photo of Bari Weiss an article reminding you she's a millennial is attached. Woman looks no younger than 60.

lmao I mean I know why but it's really funny to call Paul's haircut in Messiah a buzzcut

I know you guys all have much more legitimate problems with this place but my main problem with the site is all the anti-bullying and anti-harassment features which only protect the cowardly worms. Clearly harassment still happens towards people who don't deserve it, so it doesn't even work.

Wild hill to die on for your company. There are a lot of businesses where you can grift the right wing by pandering to the non-woke mass, but books are not one of them. These folks can't read, dumbass.

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

It's crazy how many sex criminals from old Twitter are on here using the same names and avatars they did back then, and people have simply either forgotten or don't care. I see them on the other feeds on here all the time. Crazy.

I'm not sure how visible it is in the picture but this very intricate one was built in under an hour (it went across to my bike, sadly). It's so impressive.

CVS sells McCafe k-cups and I'm trying to think of something more evil you could do than purchase McDonalds brand plastic single use coffee pods from CVS Caremark. $12.49 for 10 btw lmao

This was me last year when my grandmother told me JD Vance is only like 3 years older than me. I thought she was losing her mind, but she was right

I'm grateful that the limitation with game streaming services is literally the speed of light, so they'll never be good in my lifetime. The most annoying thing about VR is that while it's always been dogshit, at some point in my life it will probably become competent enough to be a thing.

She's hired and employed by SkyTV in the UK. Nothing to do with F1 or Liberty Media. Also she definitely wasn't hired just for being American because she isn't on American broadcasts haha.

I'm just dropping people left and right at this point. I'm so tired. If your work is easier if you support a genocide, you're gone. If you have anything less than full throated support for trans people, you're gone. I don't have patience for all these halfway people. Pick a side.
