You might have noticed that I've not been talking about a lot of games that I enjoy. The newer Doom games, Ninja Gaiden, Halo, etc.

Also tell them how much of a security risk the SCREEN act is! Remember the discord data breach that exposed IDs this year
Please for the love of god call your reps and tell them to vote no to KOSA and other bad internet bills otherwise we lose everything we have
You need to do it now, today is the day

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

this is why being a leftist means that you sound like a conspiracy theorist sometimes too, which is also really frustrating and makes me feel unmoored from reality sometimes. there ARE powerful actors working to keep us down. and far too many of them DID hop on epstein's private plane

Imagine if bigoted billionaires and privileged ‘gender critical’ transphobes with the ear of the right-wing media had put their money and energy into lobbying about *this* - rather than obsessing over banning a handful of trans girls and elderly trans women from Girl Guides & the WI!?? 😣😤
More than a QUARTER of police forces in England and Wales still haven’t implemented basic policies for investigating sexual offences.
It’s like they don’t care. It’s scandalous, but it’s borne out by the experiences of so many women – women like Nina Cresswell.

Every trans person who is on a knife edge. On one side is employment for another day. On the other is whether a random transphobe posts "Ick, gross, trans person" with your picture and employer name, and it goes viral. You will get fired, from pretty much any company, if that happens to you.
When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

It's not 'Self ID' When it comes to legal gender recognition. It's Self Declaration/Determination. 'Self ID' was popularised by the anti-gender movement. It transposes a negative pop psychology term onto a legal framework based on the human rights to dignity, privacy & bodily autonomy.

Reminder that early Fortnite stole dance choreography from people of color and only responded when they were publicly called out or sued. That team has been telling the world who they are pretty consistently for a long time. We need to listen.
SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

I’d boycott Amazon a third time if I could
Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

I really wish lay people understood that there is nothing intrinsically faster in at-grade, on-street rail compared to buses. If anything, it has a number of constraints that can make it potentially slower. It's the quality of priority that determines its performance, not the rail.
