My guys it is starting to work, I’ve seen some people I know complaining about the writer’s strike and turning against them because their favorite shows and/or movie got put on hold. Please do not be fooled like this, this is exactly what the corporations want. It can wait, I promise you will find other things to focus, but writers need this.
Reword every headline they put out. “Due to not wanting to give writers money, Marvel has shut down pre-production on…” You can end this strike any time you want to, pal.
“Marvel too cheap to pay writers, production shuts down”
“Disney too greedy to pay residuals, deletes shows/movies”
“Studios cut corners on safety, production values, writing, acting, etc. in order to make more money; won’t share with anyone below CEO level”
Looking at the #PlayStation#pride collection and some of these games are obvious choices (Life is Strange, Dream Daddy, Mass Effect, etc) and others are real head scratchers (or maybe I’ve forgotten those plotlines in Firewatch and Dishonored and NieR and Amalur)
Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same.
Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.
@ghalidrim I won’t be able to play for about a week next week so I was probably gonna tackle Horizon first as I might be able to finish the expansion before then; but maybe this is the kick I needed to start Zelda after that
Nintendo will wait until Tears of the Kingdom sales start to drop, and will then announce a followup to the Switch alongside a "remastered"/hi-def TotK re-release
People salty about old Switch hardware will buy the new system for TotK, and die-hard fans will buy TotK a second time for the updated graphics
If Blizzard wanted to "slam" / stress test their servers, they really should have picked some other weekend besides Tears of the Kingdom weekend #diablo#zelda#totk#botw
The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association.
I haven’t even played Jedi: Survivor yet but last night I had a dream where I was talking to the actor who plays Cal about Star Wars and then he started talking to me about arts and crafts and the Polish language and when he spoke in Polish he was subtitled and he cross-stitched me a flower

I’ve been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls Online and it’s really jarring whenever you find a character voiced by Troy Baker because the acting quality is just so unlike anything found in any other Elder Scrolls game, but just for his characters 😂 #teso
(the courtesy phone ringed an apparently random department on the other side of the store where the person said "give me a minute" and then hung up on me)
Went to Fred Meyer today and I needed a staff person to get something out of a locked case.
I saw someone, and asked "excuse me, can you help me get...?" and they went on a tear about how they didn't work in that department and they were on break and did I want them to skip their lunch and... I feel like this was a disproportionate response?
Anyway, once they said the lunch thing I said "I don't want you to do anything!" and they showed me a courtesy phone that was hidden behind a column.
Listen. I am an internet ancient. I stood amidst LiveJournal as it crumbled while I watched the fall of Flickr. I was there both times Tumblr burned down, toasting marshmallows over its smouldering ruin, laughing at the folly of Verizon. The death of Twitter was foretold by the dark prophecies of the forgotten internets. I am there to witness its passing as the old internet is dying and the new internet struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

for a culture that gleefully hacks off baby boys’ foreskins without second thought, the religious right sure has some nerve calling consensual gender-affirming care “child genital mutilation”
CDC, for the first time ever, has set a minimum ventilation target (5 air changes per hour) for all occupied indoor spaces. The CDC released new and updated guidance on ventilation in buildings this morning:

why do movies keep doing this shot where the hero has a dead wife and they do a flash back where they are ethereally under a white sheet together, it's really weird. it's like the wilheim scream of dead fictional wives
April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain. apnews.com/article/super-…
ask a guy how his day was and he'll give you a one word response but ask him what's the strongest animal you think he could take in a fight and you'll learn more about him and how he views the world than you ever could otherwise
As a childless adult it is my duty to embrace hobbies and pastimes that my peers cannot, as they have sacrificed their free time to maintain the population. I must vibe and chill, and do fun things, in their honour.
past protesters: 'i tied myself to trees, formed picket lines and held marches'
old liberals: 'incredible wow great job'
trans people: 'i would like to not play a video game'
old liberals: 'bad protest'
trans people: 'what about not buy a newspaper?'
old liberals: 'NOOO YOU CANT'
From today's Hell World (the newsletter not the place we all live, but that too):
"There is nothing wrong with asking questions by the way. The problem is when you keep getting an answer you don't like and go back to asking the same question over and over and over again."
180 (and counting) past and present New York Times contributors have signed an open letter to the paper’s standards editor condemning the ongoing unethical anti-trans bias in its coverage of trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming people. Read it here nytletter.com
BREAKING: Moderna says it will keep its Covid vaccine free for all people in the U.S.—reversing course on its planned 400% price increase—one day after Bernie Sanders said he would force the CEO to testify.
no one believes me that "the bucket list" as a term was not in common usage before that movie came out but i swear to god it's true twitter.com/dylanmatt/stat…
Thinking about throwing that old CRT TV in the dumpster? Not so fast - these things are of huge value to the Smash Bros Melee community! Be sure to break the screen first
Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.
