Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.
At a very minimum, Democrats need to meet voters where they are. If they don't, they shouldn't be in the party.
For example, the voters overwhelmingly oppose the Iran war and want to abolish ICE. The leadership of the party has made it clear it doesn't really oppose the war or want to abolish ICE.
1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.
HORSES won the IGF Nuovo Award. Weβre profoundly grateful. To us, this recognition also speaks to a broader idea: that no gatekeeper should decide which games deserve to exist or what counts as art. Thank you to everyone who supported HORSES and helped carry it this far. PS: What a wonderful team!
GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad
I try not to do ranty threads anymore, but man, this Valve GDC graph has just rubbed me up unbelievably badly
This was presented as a good thing - "more games are finding success!" -- when actually the data has just been presented in a tricksy way to make it look like everything is fine
took me like two minutes total. donβt have to talk to anybody, donβt have to make a phone call, just have to write what you can about how payment processors shouldnβt control what consumers can buy and hit send. thatβs it
all hands on deck yall, this could make a huge difference

Have I mentioned that for trans people whose bodies no longer make endogenous sex hormones, this is a death sentence preceded by weakened bones, heart disease and whole slew of unregulated body functions including temperature, sleep, digestion and mood (dis)regulation?
Speak up for your trans friends now
the targeting of any art that is "obscene" (terms of obscenity always to be decided at a whim) is fascistic yes but also how the only kinds of art that tends to be penalized is the individual/independent creators isn't lost on me. a patreon TOS would reject anything that can be streamed on netflix.
It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

if you want to help push back against debanking and censorship, you should leave a comment HERE for the Federal Reserve Board's proposal to prohibit banks from denying services based on "reputational risk"
additionally, contact your reps!
www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Btw, if it's not clear:
The tactic the right is using rn is to start censoring fetishes and kinks that are generally accepted to be "bad" or "gross" by most people to slowly warm us up to the idea of censoring all sexual expression online.
Don't fall for this by going "this is actually based!!"
You don't hate payment processors enough. You don't hate them enough
This needs to be immortalized.
I'm gonna say this once
If I see anyone after today say or repost something like "why should I care about these changes, I don't like "degenerate" art.
You gotta kill the fascist that lives in your head because guess what. The sword is closer to your head than you realize
Lmao, fuck you.
