Sanaty's Requiem🩵💜

image of a website pop-up call button from BadInternetBills.com prompting action about age gating and censorship bills with slots to enter phone number and zip code.

🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of “kids safety"!

We have to keep up the pressure against these bills! www.badinternetbills.com

That does make sense. Japan is still somewhat of a cash society and konbini cards and physical releases are easier to purchase with cash than an eshop download

Is there discrepancy because folks are moving to digital in light of key cards? Even close physical diehard peers of mine are eating game key cards up though. At most, the way Nintendo categorizes their sales figures is only shooting themselves in the foot (no digital reporting) when they're fine.

Especially with pokopia I think switch 2 doomerism doesn't really reflect reality. Trust me, I piss my pants at the existence of game key cards. Doomerism would be confirmation bias for me.

the fact that the Iranian government ALSO murders lots of Iranians does not make being bombed constantly somehow less shitty. i know this is apparently a hard concept for some

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Understandable if this warrants unfollows. Would say I'm an anti-showgirl swiftie that's also raising her eyebrow at her radio silence since the election. But I know that's splitting hairs.

Not exactly in the same order though. I think either NiER Reincarnation or Drakengard 3 is Yoko Taro's tortured poets department. And no matter how much you like or hate that album or those games, the analogy still holds true. ...I swear I'm not crazy!

I don't think there's that much daylight between yoko taro's career and reputation and onward taylor swift.

I hope his evangelion run isn't his showgirl because that's kinda a likely possibility I'm afraid.

Might as well should've gone full tooth tunes

When the @mogafactory.bsky.social comes in sizzlin' 🤞😩💖

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

United Brother Workers - Agency - Safety - Security Logo with black cat, red umbrella, and red lamp.

Also for anybody who hasn't seen it their logo goes incredibly hard.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

ICE Arrests Beloved Fighting Game Community Member Ludovic His family has been working non-stop, even in the face of the grief of losing a family member, to bring him home before the government can deport him

Lud was on his way to renew his fucking work visa when ICE snagged him. This is beyond fucking parody at this point. Our country is deeply, fundamentally fucking broken.

wow we are so fucking hot that our mere existence is sexually explicit. me walking down the street needs a big ol censor bar. i'm so sexy it should be illegal.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

"Jamiroquai shelf" and yet there's no elite beat agents or electroplankton in the DS section (both are somehow games that Jamiroquai has a loose connection to)

Electroplankton is expensive though so no worries.

I would've guessed Yoko Taro would eventually get around to doing an adaptation/reboot of Shimoneta... oh well.

So much for JB being supposedly a good governor for the LGBTQ+ community.

An online surveillance state will not help us, it will directly put targets on our backs.

. @rokhanna.bsky.social supports KOSA. I would LOVE a data bill of rights, but if that’s what he actually believes in then why does he support surveillance laws like KOSA that force tech companies to collect far far MORE data, making it much easier for the Trump admin/ICE to target ppl?

please continue to contact your legislators and demand that they oppose/drop their sponsorship of KOSA and other internet censorship/surveillance bills.

additionally, advocate for protecting Section 230, and blocking/rolling back online ID laws

Loved this piece! I also think these recommendations apply to bridgerton fans.
I've been begging my sister to watch apothecary diaries as she's been getting me into bridgerton.
Maomao and Penelope Featherington would 100% trauma bond, right? Am I crazy for feeling this way? I can't be the only one.

Three Apothecary Diaries adjacent manga, for your consideration: aftermath.site/the-apothecary...

The look of A Witch's life in Mongol is so striking, really appreciate this piece.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Colbert Says CBS Didn’t Air Interview With Democrat Due To FCC 'Equal Time' Rule The Late Show host’s interview of Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico was published on his YouTube channel, but didn’t air on CBS due to the FCC’s ‘equal time’ mandate.

Ah, so now the FCC is directly censoring political opposition in media.
