2025 is the year I harvested enough tomatoes for several jars of marinara and pizza sauce. We used plenty as snacks, pizza toppings, and in sandwiches. So, the heirloom ornament this year is maters. Polymer clay, acrylic paint, and florist tape.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers.
Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."
No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this.

Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it.
Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

Under end stage capitalism, art is the only thing keeping us sane and serves as a fragile connection to our shared humanity. That's why neoliberals and fascists are so desperate to destroy it with garbage like AI. They've already enshittified and commodified most forms of interaction and culture.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

The fact that these programs work is amazing, but at the same time infuriating, because they'll never be adopted at scale. Instead, politicians will cower to assholes jealously complaining that someone got help "but didn't deserve it," and we'll keep doing this dance over and over again.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
