the stupid thing was: the consumer games press DID have unethical marketing mouthpiece relationships with the industry. the e3 / spike tv / actiblizz / doritogate conglomerate and the payola-dominated masculine corporate culture had a stranglehold on what got made and how it could be discussed --

We also gotta get out of the panopticon mindset and start reading and dancing to music again and stop video-ing each other doing anything slightly weird and taking pictures of strangers on the subway like volunteer cops. Documenting an uninteresting life nonstop instead of living interesting life.

a while ago, I had a really nice conversation about history, art, and writing with a nice guy I mainly know as the quiet one from Sunday Fundays, and I just realized that I've been ignoring him on Scruff forever because I didn't recognize him in shades. this is why I like meeting face-to-face!

To give a sense of scale, Musk is spending more on the midterms than he was on the 2024 election, and he was the biggest donor in that election. In 2025 he promised to pull back from politics and do much less political spending. Another lie.

It's easier to hyperfixate on this one detail about Gen Z workers instead of on how corporations are using performance improvement plans to force out employees without severance; how return to office policies hurt parents, caregivers, and disabled workers; and how hard it is to find a job right now.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

We have a commentariat class that spends a lot of time foisting revisionist history of 20th century Black liberation/civil rights struggles onto us and getting away with it because a lot of the people who would correct them died before their time thanks to cointelpro, the "war on drugs," & AIDS

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

If phrases like "free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag are enough for powerful people to threaten to cancel concerts, then clearly such displays of solidarity are more than just virtue signalling and we would all do well to speak up more; not less.

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an underwater submersible opens a latch and drops a red, pill-shaped crappy Bluetooth speaker. A scientist narrates, “we built a Bluetooth speaker to withstand 2000 meters.” Panel 2: the scientist, speaking directly to the camera, continues: “the squids responded really well to Nelly.” Panel 3: on the dark depths of the ocean floor, a group of squids are dancing enthusiastically around the sunken Bluetooth speaker. A couple of them are getting kinda nasty with it to be perfectly honest

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.
