"Join me in the fight" of continuing to use and promote a platform full of hate speech owned by a white supremacist?

Stop using Twitter. Believe the evidence of your own eyes that you're not reaching constituents there. Leave and encourage colleagues to follow suit.
🚨 New Block of the Month, same ugly messages.

Only a fraction of the racism and abuse I receive.

Stand up to racism. Join me in the fight! #ButlerBlocks

I did laugh at one of the casuals replying to Derek Yu's post with some scintillating variant of "but some players want to watch a soap opera while pushing a lever for pellets, what about them" literally having "I don't know shit about fuck" in their bio

Reminded of the time we lost a pub quiz because my friend wrote down that Jack Nicholson's costar in The Shining was "Shellington Ball"

Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc.

Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers".

Extremely obvious that LinkedIn got rid of the "not appropriate for LinkedIn" feedback option because everyone was correctly using it to penalise slop

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

I've done something to YouTube that has made it show me videos where people born after Half-Life came out say confidently wrong things about it.

I'm sure the media-savvy Valve Corporation will weather the escalating PR disaster about their store policies without making things worse
