The people popping out of the woodwork to declare that the American left has "a Jewish problem" is such thinly veiled Islamophobia and it's truly disgusting.

Muslim leftists winning elections has broken the brains of many centrists and liberals who had managed to mostly hide their Islamophobia for years

First of the cherry tomatoes! Balcony gardening is such a delight.

My story: brought around the lot, sat at a desk to discuss options, made an offer, employee went to grab paperwork. Spotted a spreadsheet they'd left out showing planned price cuts next week. Asked for lower price, employee slinked away; heard his manager screaming. I got the price, but holy fuck.

holy moly the comments on this about dealerships

There are issues with Ted Lasso Season 4, but among complaints in negative reviews, the baffling one is that the show has nothing new to say. REALLY? From the get-go, it's equity and social justice, a decisive swerve from Hurt People Hurt People and Children and Parents themes of Seasons 1-3.

This $10 bundle comes with more than 100 games *and* it benefits games industry workers who have been affected by layoffs, restructurings, and company sales: itch.io/b/3802/game-...

It's low-key hilarious to see commentaries on "why do the youths feel so upset, GDP go up, jobs go up, inflation levelling" meanwhile literally outside the window the planet is on fucking fire

Two days, two stories

This is the dream of most of the billionaire class. They detest other humans. Other humans are an annoying inconvenience they are occasionally reminded of as they isolate themselves in compounds, bugout bunkers and super yachts, with fantasies of robot armies that perform their menial tasks.

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

This just-released Canada Heritage survey is a stunning piece of anti-Palestinian propaganda weaponized vs. critics of the genocide at universities. It is a reprisal against the encampment movement. Look at the evidence of ‘antisemitism’: a prof calling Israel a Zionist project—as it attests to be.

ONE NIGHT ONLY - the movie that asks "What if The Handmaid's Tale was a quirky meet-cute"

Seriously, do not un-critically assume China is good because US bad. Imperialist Hegemons are bad on either side side of the pacific.

In Tibet, some embrace their native language even under China's sweeping new 'ethnic unity' law

A 73-year-old retired nurse spoke her native Tibetan all her life but never learned to write it — until now.

Love and kisses to whatever dipshit set off the smoke alarm in my building that has now been going off for over 15 minutes with no fire department in sight.

This site wouldn't exist without it's trans users and the fact that the mods distain this fact is very telling

Saw the Odyssey. It was very long. Jon Bernthal is a plank of wood. Robert Pattinson is awesome. Anne Hathaway pretty good. Sound design really good. Right-wing stupidity makes the rest of us all overhype things in response and it's really annoying.

Arguing that the "ethical use for AI" is for people with disabilities to create art or whatever is actually deeply patronizing, albeist horseshit, and I am shocked at how easily some folks are lapping it up.

I suppose it's too much to hope that the GenCon flooding only hit AI retailers and booths, cause that would be too perfect a metaphor.

It was never going to stop at trans people.

I know Starfield got a lot of flack, and my experience is likely very different, playing a more polished product years after its release, but I am having such a good time with it. For instance: the first Terrormorph encounter is classic sci-fi action horror.

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Game developers have put together a massive bundle to aid laid of colleagues www.rogue.site/news/game-wo...

Stop Hate Sharing Things You Don't Want People To Read

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

This is what the lumps of cartillage that head studios these days don't want to admit - that all of their hackery with test audiences, marketing algorithms, franchising and just plain vibes are meaningless. People want quality art. It's that simple.

“Enough artsy stuff! Moviegoers want fun and familiar!” SUPERGIRL flops. “Superhero fatigue! Moviegoers want new and original!” BACKROOMS is a huge sleeper hit. “Moviegoers want YouTube! No more corporate franchises!” SPIDER-MAN opens huge. The trending is exhausting, just make good movies ⭐

Transphobia is the onramp to reactionary conservative politics and outright fascism. This has been shown again and again.

12 years ago or so Linehan was royalty on lib-left Twitter, then he took the plunge and now he's just an American conservative Republican. Someone literally pulled up tweets from his pre-derangement about how it's not okay to say the r-word and now he flings it around like all the rest of them.
