It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

This is the end result of "there are no sfw kinks" logic. Everything is a kink for someone. It doesn't matter how tame or innocuous it is; someone, somewhere, gets off to it. Amd there is no level of "toning it down" that will ever be acceptable to people whose goal is for you to not exist at all.

This is a metaphor so on the nose it hurts. Literally, they are removing knowledge from the public domain to feed their machines and permanently deny your access to it. The privatization of knowledge and information is their goal.
This is ... horrific

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
This was, is, and always will be a brilliantly shit illustration of how stupidly self defeating business people can be. Forgoing the universal positive of a staff self-training on their own time, because of the vague fear that one in a hundred might make some money.
NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

Loud reminder that amab nonbinary folks are 100% nonbinary & are deeply loved in this corner of the web. If anyone has a problem with that, they’ll have to go through me and I bite when I’m angry

Politicians shouldn't be bullying kids for playing sports with their friends. It’s not complicated.
Opinion: My daughter wanted to play soccer. Adults turned the game into a political weapon. - Concord Monitor
After winning a legal battle to play soccer, transgender teen Parker Tirrell quit due to adult hostility in New Hampshire.

I have not ever seen a single story about a trans kid causing any issue in some sport they’re playing (other than other butthurt parents) yet this is somehow an exponentially bigger problem than an ocean of conservative men preying on children and women.
A Republican member of the West Virginia House has just been charged with enticing a 15-year-old minor through Roblox and Snapchat.
As someone who just left a codev studio because Several Major Studios cancelled so many projects in recent months that we started to hemorrhage billable seats, let me just underline that there are MANY layoffs that don’t get covered because they’re down stream from what happens at the big studios.

Absolutely no one is being served by modern tech quite as much as the world’s degenerate perverts. Deepfakes, Meta glasses, invisible drones. It really is the Golden Age for creeps.
Most attempts to hide a drone lean on camouflage. Northwestern engineers instead spin it into a blur your eyes can't lock onto — and it nearly disappears.
Demolition Man remains one of the most prescient movies of all time.

The Odyssey is a nice example of the problem with every effort to "understand" Trumpers. There's nothing to "understand" here: this man has no idea what happens in Homer's epic, he's an arrogant dimwit with a made-up version in his head that he uses as an excuse to be weird and racist. That's it.
Matt Walsh complains that Nolan brought his obsession with nonlinear story telling to the Odyssey, undercutting the original's narrative. The defenders of western civilisation, folks.

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.
