A hidden list of 100 abusers in Silicon Valley. Left unstated: some are abusing *men* Sam Altman used to date Peter Thiel, known for recruiting young men for sex (one died of suicide). Sam's sex parties are notorious for how hard they go, and the abuse. Three sources told me about this:

Silicon Valley ‘sex assault list’ with ‘over 100 ‘ names circulated, warning female tech workers of predators to avoid

“Some of them were very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors. Businessmen who were in the scene”

Residents in Gary, Indiana remain without power for more than a week after devastating storms. Residents are facing desperate conditions – spoiling food, no break from the heat, no way to keep medical devices charged. It is unacceptable!

'Survival mode': Indiana residents endure a ninth day without power

Tens of thousands of people in Indiana are entering a second week without power after a deadly storm toppled trees and power lines. Schools remain closed and businesses have been unable to reopen.

Do I really need to say I don't support this company? Cause I don't. I mean that should be obvious but I feel like I've never said it. "But you support the studios by stre-" No, no you don't. They get like 0.01% revenue. Buying 1 Blu-ray would give your company of choice 9999% more direct support.

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

@alanahpearce.bsky.social As someone who knows more about the gaming industry, do the higher ups just don’t listen anymore or do they just have selective hearing? Do we need to throw physical money at them and tell them “we want just a single player game, no multiplayer.”

I've been saying that the military has had their hand in games for decades. They bred addiction, so they can use it against people.

CBS Mornings@cbsmornings.bsky.social · last mo.

Some U.S. military members who are itching to play a video game they've anticipated for over a decade can trade a commitment for several more years of their life in uniform for a few days off to play Grand Theft Auto VI.

People are so focused on being black or white that it feels like they forget that it's important just to understand.

They have the power for universal health care, but only did something when it started denting their bottom line. Remember to hit them in the wallets and where the true power lies. They trick us for our money for a reason, give it to people who would have cared already.

Unexpected absences can cost employers tens of thousands of dollars a month. An app that helps workers with last-minute transportation, food and childcare is making a difference.

"Bluesky is dying" bro you're talking about a website full of 38 year olds who have fringe political beliefs and listen to black metal bands with >1000 listeners on spotify, nobody here cares about popularity

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

I TOOK MY 90 YEAR OLD NEIGHBOUR TO AN ANIME CONVENTION! Her first con ever!

Living with ADHD: Getting anxious because you don't know why you're feeling anxiety symptoms. Don't worry, I have concluded that it's because my body isn't used to consuming coffee, & 10/O coffee has been a huge upgrade from trying to drink the boxes of kuerig cups we inherited with the kitchen.

Anyway, if you wanna get better at neutral, you should play more beat-em-ups.

Degen hour thought: Who knew MegaTokyo would predict that 1337 speak would combat AI moderating and modern fascism?

Pure grassroots marketing. Discord and posters only. Gonna be going back to my poster making days. (Please don't judge these, I was self taught and they're over a decade old now)

Here are some photos from our impromptu SNK event with @bubbleyummbc.bsky.social, @chrischunli.bsky.social, and @hellpockets.bsky.social a while back just as a preview! I'm still getting my footing, but expect more soon!

Man. I don't want to just copy and paste, but I accidentally announced that I will be working together with @tenomedia.bsky.social on Twitter while responding to someone. I did announce that my profile will turn into a shill account for things I love right before though lol. You guys deserve more.

Shout-outs to solidarity.

My business is in an area built in the 60s, and this is the 2nd time a pipe burst in the building this year. I'm so tired of mopping and sweeping water out. 🥲 Also fuck the city for changing the water pressure without warning or checking the fallout.
