hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

After working in game visuals for almost 15 years my best advice is to use placeholders as much as you can, but spend just a little more time than minimum effort on them. you never know what in your game will be used so little that an unrefined first pass version of it does the job perfectly well

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

”On täysin mahdollista antaa Ukrainalle työkalut pysäyttää Venäjä ja varmistaa uusi pitkä rauha Euroopassa. Kyse on puhtaasti poliittisesta tahdosta, ei kyvyistä, Marin kirjoittaa raportissa.” Päivän poliitikkojen pitäisi puhua ja toimia näin eikä päästää Trumpia neuvottelemaan Euroopalle ”rauhaa”.

Kuluneet viikot ovat tarjonneet suurena neuvottelijana esiintyvän Donald Trumpin tyylinäytteen. Ei vakuuta. Ollenkaan. Miltään osin.

Kun oikeistossa ymmärretään, että paikallinen sopiminen on työnantajalle edullista, koska muutama työntekijö on aina heikommassa neuvotteluasemassa kuin kokonainen ammattiliitto, niin miksi he silti kuvittelevat pienen Suomen voivat tehdä hyviä diilejä yksin Trumpin johtaman suurvallan kanssa?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
