When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point
nah dawg this is petty as shit

these people got brainwashed with propaganda and fearmongering

wanting only people who didn't vote for Trump to survive is misanthropic and gross

Oh my god what do you mean Soken didn’t even ask for it, Tom basically just went “we heard they were huge fans so we wrote them a song to use however they want”

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)

Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

Deleted the "don't use the word commission" on paypal post! Early this year I'd heard reports of people getting shut down for using that word and it was insinuated that the context was artists were being targeted for "high risk" words.

I appreciate this context and not trying to spread misinfo ❤️
Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD.

Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.
Lots of "don't write 'commission' in PayPal's feedback box for invoices" misinfo/fearmongering going around.

Yes, PayPal is censoring nsfw/queer artists like other payment processors. No, the word 'commission' will not get you flagged unless youre taking Friends & Family payments for commissions.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.
It hits different reading this whole thread.

It was literally preferable in some school districts to imply the Roanoke settlers all starved to death, were murdered, or sucked up by UFO tractor beams than to acknowledge a local tribe went "Dang, dude. You need a hand? Come sit by the fire. BTW I think my sister likes u."

This is what i mean by the post below. People are (JUSTIFIABLY) angry and afraid, and there are bad actors who want to take advantage of that in order to push regressive, reactionary legislation that will only hurt marginalized groups.

be very careful about what you boost.
In the wake of all this Epstein stuff, you need to be extremely dilligent about information and media you share

There are orgs that want to use the energy around all of this to push for censorship/surveillance legislstion as well as promote swerf ideology under the guise of supporting victims

Its actually not that surprising. The Game Awards are not that serious and XIV is in a transitional spot but a stupid amount of loud people want it to be a dying game and in a Shadowlands situation and its just not

FF14 being nominated for best ongoing in a year when I have seen its players do very little but constantly complain about a quality dip, with devs even copping to it, while Street Fighter 6 on a total tear not even getting a nod is making my head spin

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
