There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

So, are there just no employees in the gaming industry anymore? It feels like every single dev is being treated like a contractor.

Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 12h ago

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

Holy shit

Did a silly doodle this morning based on a silly conversation and it made me realize. ...I can just draw something for myself for 8/8 It doesn't have to be good, I just have to have fun with it V:

In response to the news here in the UK, from the transphobic/dangerous ""guidance"" the EHRC is giving, I think this piece of art by @baphypaws.bsky.social sums up my feelings pretty well. Survive out of spite!

putting my name into duckduckgo reveals that there's a distillery called Ninefold, lmao.

[Person who has only seen Boss Baby] All the people who are anti-Boss Baby or want less Boss Baby sequels, I have one question: If Boss Baby disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without watching The Boss Baby or The Boss Baby: Family Business?

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

I knew I was correct in being excited for this game but also this is fucked up

This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.

Massachusetts farm installs 832 solar panels above berry fields, and the berries grown underneath turned out sweeter and juicier and could change the future of American farming - The Economic Times share.google/GDGqQBgisqhG...

I wish I didn't have to do my job either unless millions of people called me.

Hey, just some advice to younger/ inexperienced artists: Please charge yourself a living wage. You are doing nobody any favors by taking on a bunch of work you can't keep up with for dirt cheap. I say this with all the love in my heart but you are actively fucking yourself over doing that.

TIL if someone dms you and then delete themselves you get this. Was probably a spam bot I guess? Annoying they've learned to use dms e.e

I found this looking through my old gameboy games last night. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

It's been a while since I posted some Snoutbreakers footage! For a (late) #screenshotsaturday this week, have a short clip. Our wizard's magical robe is capable of absorbing hits for them, so wait-and-punish counterattacks won't work well unless you stay on the offensive.

My favorite part about #vore day is stealing all the fattened up switches the day after :9

A notice to everyone Dont talk to or do business with @/archteryx.bsky.social He recently made a threat to send the Kiwi Farms over to a Trans furry artist because he couldn't get a full refund on commissions. He is a threat to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community. (1/3)

Number go up!!!

Neon (NeonVixie)@neonvixie.bsky.social · 6d ago

Do you like incremental games?? Did you know that you can help make number go up??? (And for me it makes me feel less hopeless and like I’m doing something instead of just letting things happen without a fight!)
