The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

i think everyone getting mad are just cowards who are scared to directly say they think the transphobic policies are good

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

And here was me thinking that the reason people went to streaming sites was to see streamers. If we wanted cloud gaming we'd go check out OnLive... oh wait... Anyway, did you know our featured streamers spot on the front page is random? We give everyone a spot, not just the biggest communities.

Twitch is experimenting with using its front page as an Amazon Luna promotional vehicle, pushing creator discovery down a shelf.

Sigh… but yes. Tell me again how I should full theaters get down on my knees to support the democrats.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" Well unfortunately,

“what was your biggest impact on the internet?” probably shifting the consensus on MOGAI, but i like to think it was this

Setting the “trans rights movement” back a decade would actually be an improvement tbh

Florid Man@humintel.bsky.social

You have that right. You simply don't have the right to dictate how others feel. And by attempting to do so, you're setting the movement back a decade. That is also well within your purview. I'll always support human rights for any community equally. Nobody is special.

What’s wild is the response from the convention was literally “everyone is saying pay artists - guess what, we’re broke, we couldn’t pay them” (amongst lots of other really pitiful excuses)

Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

The fuck do you mean Maplestory Classic uses GenAI? The fucking game and all its assets already existed for twenty years, people are playing it because they want the original experience.

violence against asylum seekers makes me so angry. how the fuck are you so breathtakingly stupid that u think the people with the least power, who probably dont want to be in your sorry excuse for a country in the first place, came here to undermine your success. AND that theyre succeeding? somehow?

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

For today's lucky 10,000: In a URL, the "?blah=blah" stuff at the end are called request variables. They allow you to pass arbitrary data to a website page. They aren't *always* tracker BS. You can and will find benign ones in the wild. But in YouTube/Amazon/etc links? Yeah, largely tracker BS.

On the 20th of October 1963, the 1st episode of Tetsujin 28-go aired. Based on the 1956 manga of the same name, it ran for 96 episodes. It is the first giant mecha anime in history & its 1980 remake debuted in SRW Z2 Saisei-Hen (PSP) in 2012. Happy 63rd Anniversary 🎉

ironically, by everybody thinking biddy blas is a glup shitto and loving him as a result, i'd argue this disqualifies him from being a glup shitto due to his current widespread popularity. we call this "shitto's paradox"

Vile bit of consent manufacturing for the obvious media campaign to push this idea. What this survey actually measures is that misinformation is working and half of people are just completely wrong about this thing they've being lied to about. Feels like gloating.
