The next time - and we all know it will be very soon - you encounter someone babbling about "leftwing cancel culture" as an an equivalent to (and perhaps even the cause of) the rightwing assault on free speech, please remember this.
The “canceled people” database listing victims of cancel culture, which includes oft-repeated cases such as Bret Weinstein (Evergreen State College) and James Damore (Google), has a little over 200 entries across 18 years.

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Help me decide what to draw next! Drop your wildest character idea below 👇

(I'm thinking about redoing some of my old drawings too, so you know, don't be afraid to ask me for something I already did in the past!)

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents.

And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

She's beauty, she's grace, she'll probably kick you in the face!.. Nah, she will heal you, while shaking, probably.
Old version of Aster. Still kinda cute.

There's something unintentionally revealing about how a Christian school bans songs from a popular Netflix show that reference teamwork, acceptance, and resilience simply because it happens to include fictional demons.

Watch it last less than a week.

The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??
My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee”

Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

Today is one of those days where there's a lot that needs to be done, but it feels overwhelming and you just want to stay in bed all day.

But I know that I just need to make a start, just chip away at the list and keep on trucking.

Work first, nap later.

It literally has a disclosure on its Steam page. It didn't "slip through", man. You tried to charge people for a thing that's got slop in it and they're mad.

I have an extension to add a pop-up on the Steam page for it but I really think it should be by default top-of-page.

Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

I have a lot of issues with Christianity as an institution (along with some other religions I could mention), but I respect the those who truly believe in helping others, in standing up against tyranny, preaching peace and love to all our brothers and sisters.

No matter the cost.
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Kinda fixated on these warm pastel palettes lately. Do these colors remind you of any character? Thinking, thinking... 🤔

wild how independent journalists are like “I’m traveling on my own dime to report on this” and every institutional journalist is emailing the worst man on earth being like, “yes, sir. I will print what you tell me and ONLY what you tell me. xoxo."

listen, we've all had a lot of fun today learning that we truly are ruled by a pedophiliac cabal that permeates every level of big business and government, but also let's not take our eye off the fact that the senate Dems completely betrayed their base and must be primaried until they're all gone
