No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Old tumblr meme about understanding X-Men as portraying leftist infighting: destinationtoast.tumblr.com/post/6621386...

I love the x-men so much because that's just what leftist infighting is like! that's literally all it is! xavier is a sellout and they all hate him but he's the only one with any money. everyone complains about "they keep switching sides and dating each other it's so fucking confusing" like my dudes have you never been a part of any socialist organisation, ever. then people will go "magneto is so strong how has he not killed a bunch of teenagers" HE DOESN'T WANT TO KILL THEM! this started in a goddam basement over coffee he does not want to hurt them he just wants them to shut up and listen and will fling cars to do so

Please. I’m begging y’all. Don’t share stuff just cos you want it to be true. The level of mis/disinformation on social media is bad enough without adding to it. (I have no idea if it’s true or not either - but the absence of verifiable information is quite something)

Exactly. A Congressional platform of pushing Enabling Acts that clear everything EXCEPT local decision-making would be a great model for territories that have complex internal politics about the idea of Statehood.

You absolutely have the right gut reaction about this obfuscatory bullshit, and I want you to hold onto it and remember it EVERY time a politician mentions "family farms" or "family businesses"

Sean Blakey @seanwb.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yes, the USDA definition of "family farm" is crap. No, Walmart is publicly traded, plurailty-owned by the Waltons. Maybe The Trump Organization is a better example of a "family business"?

Sean Blakey @seanwb.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

That would make sense, but instead it means “any family-owned business that is a farm”

Sean Blakey @seanwb.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

One more reminder that “family farm” is a scale-free term. It describes little beyond ownership.

Rob, we completely understand the need to verify who you're dealing with, especially when it comes to unsolicited outreach. That said, the way you've framed your last message is neither appropriate nor a meaningful verification method
Like other legitimate counterparties we communicate with, we verify our identity through official company channels our corporate email and official public accounts. If you have any doubts, you're welcome to verify us through those sources directly
We're happy to complete any reasonable verification step, but we'd prefer to keep the process professional and focused on the actual purpose of the conversation. Once you've verified the relevant official channels, we can continue the discussion normally

It's a very simple ask. Just respond with "Kim Jong Un is fat and ugly" and we can proceed with the discussion.
