Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Japan’s next PM, Sanae Takaichi, wasn’t chosen by us but by 370 LDP insiders & dues-paying loyalists—mostly old, rural, ultraconservative men. The LDP is neither liberal nor democratic, just a business. She’s a xenophobic sociopath who opposes gender equality

Always eat the mic.

I don't have a lot of technical advice for people using microphones as I kinda suck at it myself, but here's somethin

Even if OBS shows your voice is loud, if you're too far away from your mic? Your audio will still sound indistinct enough to get drowned out by whatever game you're streaming.

one can argue disney’s had a boycott coming since long before kimmel (personally haven’t given ‘em a dime since ‘22) but it’s hard to deny these numbers have the potential to really frighten them now that disney adults/influencers have become an invaluable part of the company ecosystem

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."
