nobody wants to hear it but the only real “blue no matter who” types are progressives the defectors are always, always, the “centrists” and this is true when it comes to passing legislation too

gotta say, the contrast between Haley Stevens’ unhinged crashout and Francesca Hong being a no-drama good sport and supporting Dems up and down the ballot is crazy

Once again - data center opposition is not some ginned up op or social contagion, they are *demonstrably bad neighbors* run by companies *acting in bad faith*. We are not obligated to be marks.

"62 gas-fired generators became public in August after a Floodlight/Guardian visual investigation found them operating without permits." Turns out that "real world constraints" slowing the data center boom include the asthma, heart disease & premature death resulting from the air pollution.

Ian Fraser@ianfraser.bsky.social · 2y ago

Whenever you hear Justin Webb “sanewashing” Donald Trump and his odious crew on BBC Radio 4 Today, it’s worth remembering that, in his @thetimes.com column, Webb applauded Trump for his “substance“, “effectiveness” and trans phobia.

There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.

Asinus Pervicax@knownagitator.lol · 2d ago

Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.

In front of the Stonewall on top of everything else.

Patrick Stewart regularly highlighting his close friendship with Ian McKellen in ways that said "fuck you" to homophobes is honestly something we need more cis het men to do.

Hey Bluesky, this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but if you or someone you know is on the lookout for a freelance artist/animator/pixel artist for their indy game project, I'd be very interested in hearing from you. DMs are open ❤️

Copying a comment I made in response to a video about the recent rise of 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 ethno-nationalism because I genuinely think about this a lot, and these thoughts deserve better than either falling on deaf ears or being a lightning rod for weirdos & bots.

People really need to feel “eat the rich”. Like we all say it but truly, eat the rich. They are traitors to humanity itself. The way they actively fuel the destruction of our world & society, all so they can eke out just one more ai prompt and build their fantasy immortality machines is disgusting.

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

Who made the art inside Control Resonant?

When the developers of Control Resonant needed to fill their video game version of New York City with art galleries, they tapped the talents of people they knew particularly well

Folks, Apex still needs $3500 to fund a whole year of paying writers and artists, and they only have 3 more days to raise it. Please boost and help if you can! Good, independent arts venues are a jewel beyond price right now!

If we could obtain some/all of the original complaints and outcome decisions, we could take a strong case to judicial review. If any of you out there made complaints against this monster to the Bar Standards Board and got one of the 'No Further Action' replies, DM us. discretion guaranteed (more)

imagine if liberals had kicked up a fuss when the bbc started pushing transphobia unchallenged and censoring out pride pins and shit. instead we got told it was neutrality. now they're just point blank pushing far right propaganda in full unchallenged. this the bed libs made.
