And now she’s talking about the difference between “beach and urban” environments, and how Huntington Beach should be careful of the urban people from Long Beach.

I got a warning from Pat Burns for calling out “that’s racist.”

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Very curious about this. Got a lot of bangers at my Scholastic book fairs in the 80s. I'm pretty sure that's how I got the box set of John Christopher's TRIPODS TRILOGY, which I still have and re-read within the past two years or so

Also, ffs DO NOT rely on a big budget biopic directed by a white guy to form your primary ideas about effective resistance against white supremacy and colonialism.

This is some straight cop bullshit. Nonviolent resistance is valid and can have results, usually if people are afraid of reciprocal violence when nonviolence fails. That said, there is no value in demonstrating your opponent's brutality at the cost of your body or life.

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 1d

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

The court records show that the facts of the case are far worse than we initially reported. It was a "death investigation" into a "nonviable fetus," the police asked the district attorney if they could charge her for taking the pills. The search happened TWO WEEKS after she took the pills

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor.

Who could have predicted?

Oh, right.

Discord users suffer the first high-profile age-verification hack – and it's unlikely to be the last

Critics of age verification laws warned this was inevitable

The entire history of independent horror is filled with cash-strapped producers and directors who had to get down and dirty to think of creative solutions, and it gave us movies like The Evil Dead

Pushing a button to have a computer make something is the antithesis of that creativity and hard work.
