Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts.

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!
JP@jpbrammer.bsky.social · 3mo agoI mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel
Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Once upon a time Google was literally the most amazing information retrieval system I have seen in my life. It was quick and returned primary sources to read on almost any subject. It was better than magic. It makes me sick to see what they've done to that resource.

Many people are aware of at least one good reason to avoid Hogwarts Legacy. Fewer are aware that it’s a retelling of the antisemitic “blood libel” myth. Yes, really. The game’s central antagonist is a greedy, hook-nosed “goblin” trying to kidnap children and use their blood for a magic ritual.
