Name the first videogame that made you feel truly powerful.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

I remember when I used to frequent Pajiba and they lived up to their "Scathing reviews, bitchy people" tagline regularly. The site owner posted a review of The Woman that was literally just a "fuck you" to the director.

People don't seem to want to admit that "I would be ashamed to have written any part of this" is shockingly harsh language for the average film review. She's within her rights to say it, and she knew exactly the response she would get for it, but it's definitely an eyebrow-raiser

Guy who went on holiday to Toontown and made it his whole personality:

"decisions about whether or when minors access transgender medical care should be made by parents, not politicians" actually they should be made by the minors in question, who are human beings. if you don't need parental consent to experience one kind of puberty why should you need it for the other

Cockroach Democracy: Unarmed and Dangerous

Can all the people be fooled all the time? Can a country with a population of a billion-and-a-half be dragged around like a corpse forever? It cannot. The Cockroaches are out and about.

Historian friend was reading a civil war era letter in an archive, the letter said “In this envelope I include my smallpox scabs” and sure enough there they were. Had to call CDC for a hazmat team.

who called it The Vampire Lestat and not Cunt Dracula

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Testosterone is a hormone surrounded in myths and misconceptions, which the Right loves to use to both demonize trans people as well as to fuel their weird beliefs about masculinity. Today, Jules Sherred dives into the science of testosterone and the reality of the effects it can have on the body.

Pete Hegseth is Obsessed With Testosterone. Here’s All the Neat Science the Manosphere’s Not Talking About - Assigned Media

Hegseth says, "It's well-established science that as we age, testosterone levels, often, naturally drop." But that's not the full story.

These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

‘One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police.’

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

Thinking how at the end of the Star Wars trilogy an entire galaxy celebrates the death of the emperor without a finger wagging coda where a sad-eyed long haired scold in bespoke clothing warns that this reduces everyone to the same level as the genocidal tyrant who got tossed into a laser shaft.

I saw a post where someone made the connection that a company laying you off right after your product comes out is pretty much stealing your wages from you and, yeah. They’re double dipping, getting all the profit and not having to pay for the team that generated it.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

The single biggest story in video games this month, prompting widespread concern across the community, and the ESA has no comment. Thank you @duckvalentine.bsky.social for holding them accountable for their total failure on this issue

Kotaku@kotaku.com · last mo.

Sony is putting an end to physical PlayStation games, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the ESA doesn't really have anything to say about it. https://kotaku.com/video-game-industry-esa-digital-ownership-2000712263

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

OH SHIT DUDES THE VATICAN HAS WEIGHED IN AND THEY ARE BIG MAD 🔥🔥🔥

The death of physical media is dystopian. It means, at the whim of a random executive, art can just be deleted forever with unauthorized copies made illegal. I did a 20 episode Henson series for Disney+ called Earth to Ned. Over a year of beautiful artistry: deleted. Gone. This SUCKS.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · last mo.

PlayStation says starting January 2028, they will no longer make physical game discs for new games 🎮 New games will only be available in digital formats

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

Reminds me of this great primer on Canada: theoutline.com/post/8686/ca...

Canada is fake

What Americans think of as their friendly neighbor to the north, if they think of it at all, is a scam.

Kristi Noem has landed on her feet in Canada at a mining company. The fact that Canadian mining companies are the worst violators of human rights in the world makes this hire a meeting of values. That is the real Canada. Look up their records in Central and S America globalnews.ca/news/1190912...
