You don't beat far-right racists by trying to just be a gentle kind of racist.

You need to stomp on those fuckers and then salt the earth on which they were grown.

THE AUSTRALIAN
But those shedding light on the impact of gender-affirming care on vulnerable young people and their parents did not start this culture war.
They simply find themselves conscripted by the compulsion to speak truth to power on behalf of victims who have not only had their lives ruined, but continue to be dismissed, smeared, gaslit and delegitimised by activists and politicians who find denigrating others easier than confronting reality.

Yeesh. The Oz justifying it's anti-trans coverage. Kinda don't think it's speaking truth to power to try to roll back access to trans healthcare and rights personally.

NSW to effectively ban protests for up to three months as premier links Gaza rallies to Bondi terror attack Chris Minns says state β€˜can’t risk another mass demonstration on that scale in NSW [because] the implications can be seen, in my view, on Sunday’

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide

A screen cap of the "You Might Like" screen from HBO Max.

A screen cap of the "You Might Like" screen from HBO Max.

I just watched a 1933 film on HBO Max and it showed me dozens more films like it, all pre-1950.

No other studio-owned streaming service platforms its library this effectively.

I worry about TCM, but Netflix better not ruin HBO Max, either. We need mainstream platforms for classic film. #FilmSky

I love to wake up and open palm slam the social media icon on my jumbo iPad to fire off a post like "Yucky stuff in my 'art'? No thx!!" before swearing upon God and country that I believe in the innate personhood of the Mastercard corporation

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.

Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

Brendan Fraser Says β€˜Batgirl’ Cancellation Is an Example of Movies Being β€˜Commodified’ in Hollywood Brendan Fraser says 'Batgirl' being shelved shows that movies are being 'commodified' in Hollywood in a new interview.

Brendan Fraser on Warner Bros.’s decision to shelve Batgirl as a cost-cutting measure: β€œThe product , I’m sorry β€˜content’, is being commodified to the extent that it’s more valuable to burn it down and get the insurance on it than to give it a shot in the marketplace.” au.variety.com/2025/film/ne...

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." 

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Little bit of trivia about twin sticks in FPS on PS1: Medal of Honor in 1999 pips Alien Resurrection to the post on having modern FPS controls. BUT, the only reason why it's a lesser-known example is because they're buried away as the *fourth* option after a couple of really odd ones.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
