this. do you know how embarassing it was to watch a sporting event on tv in a room where you're the only trans person? and that "kamala is for they them ad" comes on and everyone knows it's about you? and they all just kinda laugh nervously or look uncomfortable? because it wears on us.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour. But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that. Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened. Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues. Ed was in …

Super embarrassing to have Unseen's CEO asking musk to check out her game (while also spelling his name wrong in the comic). I've heard some worrying stuff about Unseen's leadership and this does not negate it.

Ikumi Nakamura publicly tweets: Hello @elonmusk 👋 A bit nervous to ask this publicly, but— we’re hosting a small experimental closed event for KEMURI at our UNSEEN studio in Tokyo during TGS. If you’re around, I’d love to invite you. I also have something I’d like to talk with you about regarding UNSEEN. Can we talk in DM? 🙂A comic from the post, which is called "tesla mask" (U being mistaken for A is a common Japanese English error. In the first panel, ikumi is getting seated at the game awards. She says "oh, I know the guy next to me from somewhere, what's his name. Um... Mmm" In the second panel she's seated next to Elon Musk and says "Ah! A you tesla musk-san right?" In the third panel musk says "hello" and she says "thank you" In the fourth panel it's a sketch of a photo of them at the game awards with tears added down her face. The caption says "no, sir. He is Elon Musk-san"

This video, at no point, is about it being a good or bad remake. Just that this is “unusual” for Nintendo, meaning this could be further signs of a need to pivot by major AAA studios (Nintendo included) to meet profit goals in what is one of the worst recessions in modern history.
