alright I gotta say it I'm on board for Arc Sys Mahvel

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

I'm biased, but this report is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the state of AI in 2025. It explains how AI is entrenching power for big tech and the oligarch class, speeding deregulation, dislodging human expertise and threatening workers—and how there's still time to refuse all that.

I am once again here to tell you Iconoclasts is on sale on the Switch. No excuse no give it a go at this price. Cannot recommend this game enough. #blutoid #iconoclasts #switch

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

This was reported as a "dispute" when it was very clearly a hate crime.

i shit you not, i just looked this up: Twitch Plays Pokemon got the second badge in about 50 hours

YOOOOOOO

Mark Millar being a full-blown ComicsGate supporter is not very surprising but the impact he had on western comics (especially in the oughts) now feels like a full-blown tragedy. There's no real excuse for his stuff that can hold up when he's openly declared his allegiance to fight the "wokes".

Hey there, anime fans, your time to yell at Crunchyroll has arrived.

if Chopper looks like shit I'm declaring war on television itself, it can't keep doing this to me

Doctor Who finale...

I've watched it and I've officially become Christopher Eccleston

So that's why they wanted Reddit's dataset

I'm not hating enough

Life in Gaza is no longer bearable. Even bread is gone. All we have left is you. Don’t forget us—be the humanity that the world has lost.

This guy has murdered hundreds of thousands of people this year, most of them children.

laughing my ass off at the idea of the Elden Ring multiplayer game getting reamed by players because those games have made them so unlikable they don't have any friends to play with funny that *now* there's an issue with difficulty

Nandor the righteous

people are probably just going to flame this (because XIV isn't only a box of references if anything) but there's a LOT of XIV in the set, especially given it got one of the coveted Commander slots too. not unreasonable for people to wonder about that.

Dua Lipa, Brian Cox, Nicola Coughlan, Tilda Swinton, and Benedict Cumberbatch are among 300+ signers of a letter pushing Keir Starmer to “end UK’s complicity in the horrors in Gaza.” They call for government to suspend all arms sales to Israel, use all means to increase aid, and broker a ceasefire.

splitgate devs still doing dumb stuff with the crouch button I see

🚨 EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION: We are calling for a boycott of TCGplayer to demand that eBay keeps the Authentication Center open and keeps 200 unionized jobs in Syracuse. #LayoffEBay #GreedBay TCG enthusiasts: don’t buy your cardboard from TCGplayer. 🧵

it bears repeating today and tomorrow and for however long this genocide lasts that if you don't personally trust a donation account or think things are scammy in general just don't donate. ignore, block, move on. don't bother yourself with what other people do with their own money and/or time.

"Democrats must be clear about their convictions, which is that their opponents are correct" the third way should lead to the sea so you can walk into it

Counterpoint: Democrats will continue to lose as long as they try to triangulate a position somewhere between neoliberalism and fascism instead of simply having earnestly held beliefs they're willing to actually fight for. Also like 80% of this is just a tone argument, so to that I say: Suck a dick

Test PCBs came in for my Analogue e-Reader extender. Mount needs one minor change, but it’s working fine now. Getting ready for the new @retrodotcards.com Not sure I’ll really use my Analogue much for these, I just wanted to make this just in case.

One where libraries can have anime club without the threat of litigation.

gumshoe real as fuck for this

It feels like EA is slowly but surely moving towards a world entirely built of live service games in sports and mobile. It also feels like a world where Andrew Wilson just wants to sell the company.

Soul Calibur announcer voice:

Me listening to this Sundar Pichai interview about AI

Almost 250 preventable deaths due to starvation and lack of medical supplies so far. these numbers will rise radically in the coming days.

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

The ongoing union busting efforts by eBay towards TCGPlayer employees is completely unhinged and should be ceased immediately. They haven't specifically called for a boycott that I can see, but it's worth taking into mind before buying card singles from the platform. cwa-union.org/news/release...

Even though the CEO says they're "not going to replace their employees", they already have. Hundreds of linguists have been let go over the last year. It's already an AI slop app. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai-job...

whelp, this sucks!

This is a good story to remember Peter David by.

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

What a massive loss.
