"I don't know how to make this" is an opportunity to fucking LEARN.

Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With WASHINGTON—Saying critics of the missile strike that killed at least 175 civilians were dodging a fundamental question, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday demanded to know what girls were doing ...

“In all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore the fact that girls were allowed to learn?” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Jesus christ. Facebook sees internet regulation coming -- rather than stop it, they create organizations that will hold data for all of these companies to offload responsibility onto them, then lobby their already-bought politicians to pass policy that gives their new business a use.

It's a beautiful day, the Strait is open and people are having a wonderful time

Hormuz, as you know, means 'friendship.

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅

The original Planet of the Apes series from the 60s and 70s is fascinating for a number of reasons. (Like becoming the model for modern tie-in merchandising.) But maybe the most striking is that it is a brutally misanthropic and pessimistic look at humanity that was embraced by a generation of kids.

Me: I love tabletop RPGs and the classic Planet of the Apes series, I hope I can get that new POTA TTRPG soon so I can go ape!

The cool looking POTA novel that's been sitting in my to-read pile since 2013: "Am I joke to you?"

I expect IDW didn't want to or couldn't renegotiate the contract they already had for comics. It's really disgusting how locked down digital comics are in general. That said it IS of course possible to negotiate for PDF distribution, Magnetic Press did this for their recent Planet of the Apes TTRPG.

imagine letting yourself be weaponized like this by drooling idiot bigots who are in turn chasing lures intentionally dangled by corrupt pedophiles to keep trans people marginalized and sexually accessible

I did a mashup of Tyranny X a very cool outfit/pose Whitney posted on her Insta 🙌

I am very much here for anything clown or clown adjacent haha

But then much as I love it, POTA isn't exactly a franchise bursting with video games. (Not sure there have been any in like 25 years, except presumably some trash mobile tie-ins) So that may have something to do with it.

Yeah I assume they just used the same license they have for comics, since IDW is primarily a company specializing in licensed comics. It IS possible to negotiate a separate license that allows PDF releases of course. Magnet Press Play did so with their recent Planet of the Apes RPG which is on DTRPG

It's about addictive game design (yess!!) And predatory monetization (fuck yessss!!)

I don't think it's good that the president is threatening the Iranian men's national soccer team with violence, tbh.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

Gotta say that this is some extremely creepy language. And the argument basically is... that if the prevent people from treating gender dysphoria (adults, in this case), that they'll just... stop having it? That's not at all how any of this works.

Luckily, there are enough unflattering photos of Pete Hegseth on Getty Images to last a lifetime

we’re doing the meme ourselves now
