there was streaming before the big companies, and they criminalized it when it was free because it was unfair to artists, and now that it's for-profit it's legal and it's still fucking unfair to artists.

Everyone is so tired. Exhausted. And I'm talking to so many friends and colleagues who are hoping for a functional institutional power to come along and take care of them, take the annoying work and worry away. An employer, a publisher, a big funder, an elected leader, etc. I think it's just us.

This is part of a series of terrible arguments that people make that they think are real gotchas. Yesterday, someone said "I get why women would choose the bear, but then why haven't they? Why haven't all women walked into the woods?"

Seized from the group chat.
Two flashlights pointed at a wall, the one on the left is very very large and is producing just a small amount of light. The one on the right is a very tiny and it’s producing a tremendous amount of light. The one on the left is labeled “Das Kapital“ by Karl Marx, and the one on the right is labeled “9 to 5“ by Dolly Parton.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

Legacy of Kain remake/reboot in the vein of God of War modern gameplay and camera angle. But more traversal focused, so maybe a lil like Jedi: Fallen Order, too?

If they make a DungeonCrawlerCarl game, they should just give it to Respawn Entertainment. I want a "pilot-inspired" Princess Donut hopping onto mech-tank Carl's shoulders with quippy dialogue and an emotional story. Just also make it an RPG.

I don't know if anyone at @developers.google.com reads these things, but the combination of sloppy AI summaries (that I can't turn off) and just hilariously but annoyingly irrelevant news stories in my Discover feed has led me to turning it off entirely. There's your qual feedback.

Obviously I never want them to remake The Princess Bride, but if they did - have Pedro Pascal be Inigo Montoya, with Humperdink (Jonathan Bailey?) and the Count (Andrew Scott?) as not-so-secret lovers. For some reason I also see Zendaya and Tom Holland as Buttercup and Wesley?

I'm realizing part of the reason I love Octavia E. Butler is that she writes stories of how individuals shape and influence communities. She balances the community vibe with an individual's role within it. It's beautiful.

So venture capital really looks at the world and says "let's give millions of dollars to this mission-driven startup making ChatGPT-enabled dog toys" while not supporting corporate/billionaire tax policies to fund public transit, rent control, or universal healthcare?

To be clear, I don't even like country as a genre for musical reasons, but if you remove the toxic masculinity, racism, gross nationalism, and sexism it may at least feel approachable.

"Unlike other issues, Trump is polling OK on immigration" isn't a reason for Democrats to ignore that issue, but rather a reason for them to attack it head on. Public opinion can actually be moved, Democrats. And on this issue there's a lot to push back on.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter. She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”. Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

The whole Blue Origin space thing is just another example of how wealth and celebrity detach people from the real world. It's giving "Imagine" during lockdown all over again. Symbolic gestures absent of transformative action are just exercises in egotism.

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power. Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

I'm gonna need the discourse to change around Trump's actions. Like, we know most things he is doing are "obviously illegal," (re: homegrown deportations), so while pointing that out is important, what are the next steps? Like clearly our system isn't working, so what are our options now?

The Republicans who regret voting for Trump when he's doing exactly what he said he'd do should know this: WHEN we build a new world, your voice in the new coalition will not be trusted. You do not have the best interests of all of us at heart. You put us this mess. www.vox.com/on-the-right...

Some elite Trump supporters are having regrets. We asked them why.
After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake.
