Rockstar rakes in billions with GTA Online. Still too cheap to do a physical release for GTA VI. Still filled it to the brim with extra monetization. Lobbies against preservation and customer rights via the ESA. This is what politicians suggest should be left to self-regulation.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

“You mean . . . I could choose certain death?”

“A choice, nevertheless,” said Vetinari. “Or, perhaps, an alternative. You see, I believe in freedom, Mr. Lipwig. Not many people do, although they will, of course, protest otherwise. And no practical definition of freedom would be completely without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based. Now . . . will you take the job? No one will recognize you, I am sure. No one ever recognizes you, it would appear.”

Moist shrugged. “Oh, all right. Of course, I accept as natural-born criminal, habitual liar, fraudster, and totally untrustworthy perverted genius.”

“Capital! Welcome to government service!” said Lord Vetinari, extending his hand.

At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.

It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.

They've already normalized people just being disappeared. No family is notified. No access to a lawyer. Just smashed windows and missing people with zero accountability. Everyone just assumes they're being deported and released in another country because the alternative is too much for most.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
