I don’t trust anyone who litters. You obviously don’t care about anyone but yourself and have no ties to community, if you litter.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Protect the land that inspired this page.

A page from Kate Beaton’s “Ducks”. Five panels, in panel 1 we see Kate’s feet on the beach at the edge of the water. In panel 2 we see a wave wash over her feet. In Panel 3 we see a zoomed out image of the shoreline, beautiful and calm, wild and undeveloped, Kate is still standing at the shore, dwarfed by the landscape. In panel 4 we see Kate looking up and shielding her eyes against the sun with her arm. In panel 5 we see her perspective, a seagull crossing the disc of the sun.

I wish Boston had a place with a $10 burger (but I hear you on the rest)

I love how quickly Disney/Hulu has removed the customer-fill-in "other" option for their canceled subscription outro survey

Captain's log, supplemental: hell yeah.

A No Man's Sky custom corvette sitting on the landing pad, lit from below by spotlights and silhouetted in a distant orange glow. It's built to resemble the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The corvette in flight, seen from below to show off the saucer bow and the wide, flattened body branching out to the warp engines. It's painted grey with blue accents.

The corvette from above, flying through space with a deep purple planet in the distance behind it.

I'd believe the moon landing was fake before I'd believe this was real

Far right influencers, the US government and national media all colluded with malice to cook a story that would target all trans people with violence before any facts were available that could contradict.

You can’t call this tin foil hat thinking either b/c we all watched it happen in real time.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

“performative male” this is not 2014. They’re not trend tweaking. Hipsters are gone. Obama’s gone. This is literally just the new wave fascists telling men w any troublesome care or conscience left to stop being a pussy and get behind the dictator

I do it so consistently when I'm stressed that sometimes the fact that I'm doing it is the tell to myself that I'm stressed

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

A source reached out to me claiming MasterCard contacted Riot Games about the ongoing Steam/itchio controversy. MasterCard is a major Riot esports sponsor. This is the message going around internally from Riot, paraphrased:

* MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams
* Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard
* Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue
