4/ We are more sick from EVERYTHING.

These charts are stunning. No freakin' wonder healthcare is strained, workplace and school absences are up, etc.

Holy hell, this is all AIRBORNE. #MaskUp FFS. @doctorsofbc.bsky.social - are you trying to kill us?!

The Method is just ego, and harmful to cast cohesion. It’s worth exploring why an actor like Stewart, who imho put up two of the greatest performances of the 2010s in Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper gets labeled “difficult” while men who refuse to answer to their own name on set do not
Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.

what if I told you

[Morpheus glasses]

that patriarchy itself and the entire way we’ve set up Western civilization

is DEI for men

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Time for a 🧵 of cool games you might have missed in 2025!

I will be including stuff that's come out in November/December 2024 as well, since those months usually get left out of lists for both years.

It’s time to talk about my cat. To which you might be saying, “Chuck, I didn’t know you had a cat!” and I’d respond with, “I didn’t know I had a cat either…

One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things.

You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

So at this point, I am of the belief that there is a conservative group in the background emailing companies and trying to get them to ban the game.

So here’s an experience of Existing While Female in 2025.

I need my roof and gutters cleaned. I called a bunch of places and most didn’t get back to me or were actually gutter cover companies that don’t actually clean your gutters unless you buy.

Found a guy. He came for an estimate. And then:

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Because some people still do not get it, I have produced this professional and detailed diagram explaining the options available to Itch.io upon being threatened by payment processors:

Option A: Comply, sacrificing some NSFW content.

Option B: Do not comply, sacrificing EVERYONE ELSE + Option A.

Shout-outs to another big Palestinian aid charity bundle forming on Itch!

It's accepting both existing commercial stuff or game-jam projects made over the next few weeks specifically for the bundle, which is an interesting angle!

Gonna be shouting out this one regularly. 23 days remain!
We recently launched a charity drive for Palestine on Itch, and we are seeking games and content from game devs and creators to participate in a bundle 100% of the proceeds going to UNRWA USA.

"We don't like Nazis, but not supporting and paying them is even worse." is a hell of a statement for any company to make.

Do not use Substack.
NEW: Substack founders finally respond to Substackers Against Nazis. They say Nazis publishing and earning money on their platform is fine with them.

Just spelling it out, that if you are aware that there are Nazis, and then actively choose to do business with them when you have the option of NOT doing so, you're an active and willing Nazi collaborator.

By definition.

They think we're stupid and the worst part is that a ton of folks will take the defense at face value because they will never acknowledge western society's role in enabling this unless forced to.
Microsoft acknowledges it supplied AI technology to Israel's Ministry of Defense, but "no evidence" it's been used to "target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza"
