I know the focus is specifically on privacy, however "safely" protesting means being smart about COVID. And while an N95 might not be the safeguard against facial recognition tech it once was, I wish this article took COVID seriously and didn't all but throw away the idea of using N95 masks.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

55 years ago, an immigrant working as a brick layer in Los Angeles was encouraged by his friend to audition as Hercules in a comedy. You know the rest. Today, I take a look back at Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1970 debut, 'Hercules In New York' - ✨FREE✨ to all members. www.patreon.com/posts/131324709

We’re so fucked. Manufacturing someone’s intentions and then equating to physical violence to make both sides equally wrong is evil and insane. And even if Padilla did want to be disruptive, equating that with physical violence is evil and insane.

The New York Times is a mobile game company that funds a fascist propaganda machine. Wordle is a tool of the oppressors. Stop playing all their games and snuff out their oxygen.

🚨the appropriate democrat response here is simple and it must happen swiftly: 1) bring a nonbinding resolution to the senate floor that is voted down 2) focus group the efficacy of writing a letter to the president 3) ask me for $12

it's getting harder for me to sympathize with Liberal boomers who seem to always think this protest is worse or this war is more justified than the dozen others they've lived through and even admit they were wrong about hindsight.

I genuinely wonder if there's some psychological or sociological research with game studies crossover to be done about this phenomenon, in the sense that I think the scold-y replies have an almost gamified air, to me? Like the belief social media conversations are a thing you can "win."

I try to bang this drum a LOT whenever I can. "Switch 2 is just a lot of ports! Who cares?" Well, I don't care. But the millions of people who only own a Switch, don't want a PC gaming rig, and have been waiting for a Switch 2 care. They care a lot.

I need people to stop using “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” as an excuse to hand their money to companies that are genocide perpetrators/accomplices The phrase was meant to indict companies that market themselves as “ethical consumption” not to give you permission to not care -K⚡️

This is the exact reason people should be wearing masks *everywhere*. To work, to the store, just walking out and about. If only some people wear it or only to protests they will be easier to criminalize. You want something to do to resist fascism every day? Here is your opportunity. Mask tf up.

I still love this trailer so much! Love its thematic color coordinated opening, the twist reveal, Pac’s lovingly referential moveset & sound design, and the end with their release years as a nice extra game history lesson 🥰 Truly a trailer oozing with character and love for the era. Bless Sakurai 🙏

as more people get out into the street, some questions worth asking: - what risks/sacrifices are you willing to make for what you believe in? - are your actions symbolic or do they have material impact? do they protect ppl from state violence? - is your community in need of your energy elsewhere?
