Remember when Discord tried to introduce NTFs, everyone cancelled their Nitro subscriptions until they reversed it. CANCEL YOUR NITRO and send them a feedback request. They don't care about public discourse until it hits their bottom line. support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

Okay, you KNOW there's a something wrong when ever Technology Connections does a 'Hey, there's a problem and it's you, please fix it' video. I know it can be hard, but please filter out as much algorithmic and AI-generated stuff from your consumption as possible and go SEARCHING for stuff you want.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

One of my biggest scales-falling-from-eyes moments was my Torts professor saying matter-of-factly that Stella Liebeck was 100% in the right and she and her lawyers had been done unbelievably dirty. And once you've seen that kind of media smear job for what it is, you start to see it everywhere.

Those who back things up and index information are critical to preserving a shared understanding of facts and history, because the powerful will always seek to influence the public’s perception of them.

Some fascinating Konami-related materials here. The marketing binder for 1991 reveals some interesting changes planned to market The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. TV commercials are also mentioned, but it’s unclear whether they were broadcast or even produced. library.gamehistory.org/repositories...

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Going in to 2025, its important that you actually own the queer and trans literature you consume. That's why for ebooks you should always look for DRM-free storefronts like Itch, or an author/publisher's website, where you can buy a downloadable .epub you can read anywhere, and is yours forever

A former nyt co colleague pubbed a very powerful account of deep anti-trans bias at the nyt this morn. She did so with great bravery and honesty. Please read for the inside story of how the nyt silences trans employees as it pursues its biased coverage. (Also, please note Carly’s content warnings)

this washes away any residual doubt. the real motivation behind Meta’s policy changes isn’t some misguided conception of free speech, it’s just discrimination.

Highly recommend "Selling Out: The Gay & Lesbian Movement Goes to Market" as a good book for understanding how we got to the rainbow capitalist moment & how it was always a dangerous house of cards. "Pink dollars" were wholly invented by an ad agency. Its even on Archive archive.org/details/sell...
