My exact words right now are "fuck you, pay me" to any slop bros for exactly this reason. They steal from all of us, and I want compensation for the work they pilfered, and the time I now need to use to keep AH standing after a fucking scraper swarm.

Yeah, I can't deny that. Good people cannot become billionaires. The system we reside in rewards sociopathy and punishes empathy. And those who aren't quickly get there because being rich isolates you from humanity as a design feature. If you had Jeff Bezos money, you'd be everything you despise.

Franklin: ROSALIND.

F: Ah. I love this game.
W: Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?
F: Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

I know I spilled the beans months before they wanted it public, but man... fuck this. Private equity is killing the boutique labels that saved this industry and that ISN'T a coincidence. It's a targeted killing.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Had a little time to mess around with this yesterday - got through the parade master. It's an impressive port - looks great, runs well. Very much the same game I devoured back in 2024. Shame the studio doesn't exist anymore. Would have loved a sequel.

The people saying "book bans are good for book sales" and that "AI is here to stay, just accept it" are basically saying the same thing: that you should be quiet about harmful things and accept the status quo. Which is why you should scream and keep screaming against harmful systems.

Just vetted the latest batch of pitches. I'd like to reiterate: PLEASE check your spelling and grammar before pitching an outlet! We don't like having to reject a promising idea because a pitch is bogged down with spelling errors or easy-to-catch grammatical mistakes.

Not to put too fine a point on here, but if I see you do THAT cosplay, I’m unfollowing you because you literally gave that wretched TERF bitch your money.
A pair of Tweets relating that people are buying up Slytherine robes from various stores, likely to capitalize on the R63 Draco art trend.

I love how, when paging through these threads, the simple "I don't care so it probably won't even register" doesn't seem to cross their minds. Like... I haven't played GTA since GTAIV, back in 2008. Not my game, I just don't care. Rather, Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea ships very soon. I'm good.

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.
