One only needs to look at Target's declining profits and customer base to see what happens to a business that chooses to bend the knee to fascism. "Go fash, lose cash" is a much more accurate slogan.

Lol, because the Metaverse and NFTs worked out so well? Maybe try coming up with something actually useful instead of chasing the latest fad.

You should not feel pressured or scolded into constantly talking about politics and every current event. Especially if it's something that you don't feel like you're qualified to talk about or when other people with much bigger accounts already are talking about it.

It doesn't matter how many times the chuds chant it or how many low effort slop YouTube videos they make, "Go WoKe Go BrOkE!" still isn't a thing that happens. I think the average person outside of the Fox News and YouTube bubble simply doesn't give a shit.

"Tate checking" is a good thing, actually, and men should do it as well. Tell your male friends that if they become fascists and spend all their time listening to fascists, creeps, bigots, and conspiracy theorists, then you will cut them out of your life.

The Mario Kart World soundtrack goes way harder than it needed to, but I'm really loving the remixes of older Mario music. Noticing a bit of jazz theme for some of the retro tracks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZj...

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is probably one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It's interesting in that it got negative reviews when it released, but is now regarded as one of the best. Its also one of Keith David's earliest roles.

What I love about the recent resurgence of Canadian pride is that it's not based in bigotry and fascism. It's more about buying Canadian and sticking it to Trump and fascists in general. We even reclaimed the flag from the fascists who were using it at their rallies.

Community Notes is probably the last good thing to come out of Twitter in the past couple years, and honestly, I think Bluesky could use a similar feature.

Reminding people to not harass any of the child actors in that Harry Potter reboot. The adult actors who willingly sign up for this shit knowing that it helps fund hate campaigns? Call them out, especially if they stay silent on her hate or make excuses for it.

Dealing with all the scolds and anti-fun killjoys on Bluesky is annoying, but still a thousand times better than being back at the barely functioning Nazi bar where you'll be threatened and exposed to all kinds of vile hate speech and fascist propaganda.

It's very interesting how all the things that conservatives tried to scaremonger us about, particularly about a big tyrannical government that would arrest innocent people, take away people's rights, and suppress free speech, always seems to happen under right-wing governments.

Stating the obvious, here. Not only is AI stealing art and destroying the environment, its going to ruin people's critical thinking skills, creativity, research skills, and their desire to learn anything new. AI needs to be heavily regulated. gizmodo.com/microsoft-st...

Have you noticed how the biggest MAGA influencers are all failed actors, losing athletes, and people who lack creativity? You almost never see anyone who is at the top of their game going MAGA and still hold on to their career. MAGA and bigotry don't sell to anyone outside of the base.

Good. The Warner Bros Discovery merger has been nothing short of a dumpster fire, thanks largely in part to Zaslav's greed, incompetence, penny pinching, and anti-art business practices. As long as he remains in charge, WB's problems will continue to get worse.

Damn it, Rune Factory, I haven't even left the Spring Village yet and already have four really strong potential romance options. Being pansexual means that I have even more options to romance some likable characters.

Interesting how these shitty opinion columnists never write about the manosphere or the Fox News bubble. And why the hell would I want to go back to Twitter to subject myself to disinformation, hate speech, threats, and fascist propaganda?

I believe that social media can and should be a force for good. The problem is that fascists, billionaires, and shitty tech bros go out of their way to make sure that social media remains a net negative for humanity by rewarding and celebrating hate and negativity.

Yeah, if you walk around wearing a "Make *Blank* Great Again" hat, you know exactly the type of audience you're aiming towards and want to cultivate. Good people have every reason to be sus of you and not want to buy your thing.

Posting this again because I think some people need to hear it. If you're going to fight fascism, don't let yourself become as miserable and as joyless as they are. Don't let them drag you down with them.

How the hell does a creep like Jared Leto still end up getting work, and fairly big roles, when he has a laundry list of allegations as long as his? But sure, tell me again that "cancel culture" is a thing and that MeToo "ruined lives".

Pixar didn't "fall off". They got majorly screwed over by the pandemic (people still don't want to acknowledge how badly the film/TV industry was impacted by that for some reason) and the other issue is that Disney doesn't seem to want to market their original movies.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize all the big gaming and movie studios, yet people on social media would rather insist on pushing easily debunked lies and bad faith criticism to get easy likes and that rush they get from clout chasing.

I really hope that the fascism we've all seen from the Trump admin and their goons can finally put to rest the myth that conservatives believe in free speech and small government. They were ALWAYS about using the government to punish and censor anyone they don't like.

If no Alien or Aliens, then Galaxy Quest and as a bonus, her voice cameo in WALL-E. Sigourney Weaver also happened to be one of my earliest childhood crushes, which has continued well into my adulthood.

My newest favorite characters:

Every single American who voted for Trump, as well as refused to vote, can go fuck themselves. All this chaos and cruelty is on you. And fuck off with the "this isn't what I voted for" when it exactly was.

Live Action - Cast Away Animation - Toy Story 3 Cameo - The Simpsons Movie

Not only does social media reward media illiteracy, but it honestly glorifies it. Like a video that's just some bigot screaming "WoKe!" at something or a bad faith tweet tend to go much more viral than thoughtful criticism and or genuine enjoyment.

One thing that Bluesky unfortunately inherited from Twitter is a big bullying problem, particularly to people who don't even deserve it, which is exactly what the screenshotted account is doing. And it would be nice if Bluesky updated you on accounts you reported.

The Mario Kart World soundtrack is an absolute banger and it would be nice if Nintendo would post the music officially on YouTube. I love the stylized remixes of older tracks. My favorite so far is this jazzy SMB 2 remix. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLQh...

Bluesky is still way less toxic than Twitter, but holy shit some people here really need to know how to take a joke and to stop scolding people over every fucking thing. Some of you all really need to take that stick out of your ass.

Drop something GREEN

These chuds were never about wanting an actor who looks like the character. They were always about denying anyone they don't like (namely women, people of color, and LGBT+ people) any representation. They've always been bigots and fake fans.

Predator Killer of Killers is really damn good and you should watch it. Give Dan Trachtenberg the key to the Predator franchise already. I would love to see more IPs do this type of storytelling in a stunning animated format.

Currently watching Predator: Killer of Killers and then I'll play some more Rune Factory until I fall asleep.

Normally gay jokes are incredibly dated or are based in homophobia, but this one is *chef's kiss*.

I think this is probably the only thing at Summer Games Fest that I'm interested in. Mina the Hollower gives off classic Zelda vibes and I might pick it up when it comes out on Switch 2.
