Show this to the next Democrat that says trans issues aren't critically important "right now"
julierei.bsky.social Julie Rei Goldstein @julierei.bsky.social · 1h
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

there's a very good chance that when trump dies, you won't find out through the news but through an imgflip meme or a dark joke.

so, make em count when it happens because your MS Paint png of the president dying on the toilet will be the walter kronkite interrupting the program of someone's life.

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia.

Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.

Remember: When you playtest a game, never take players’ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what they’re telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion

there u go, bless
Frequently wrong about themselves Sure, there are complex psychological issues at play, but surely people can at least be trusted to tell you about themselves, right? Unfortunately not. A particular AAA developer I know of once sent surveys to 1000 players asking them which game they had played the most, then compared it with the data of what they had actually played. Not a single one answered correctly. Zero out of one thousand players could remember their own habits enough to tell which game they’d played the most. Player answers were so consistently wildly wrong that the team involved thought that their data must have been corrupted. Upon validating that it was in fact accurate, they went back to the players and told them what their actual most played games were, and every single one said something along the lines of “OH! Right. Well, that makes sense”. When people tell you things they’re really telling you the stories they tell themselves about themselves, and those stories may not have anything at all to do with reality.

There is no social penalty for opposing ICE and Democratic leadership is blind to that fact.

I know people like to dunk on wearing tiny "ICE OUT" pins, but I think they represent a really important culture shift. Even people who are very conscious about their image and expected to perform in a palatable way are wearing them in very public places.
New York Fashion Week Joins the “ICE OUT” Movement: “It Changes Hearts and Minds”
From designers to front-row regulars, the industry is rallying behind a growing campaign against ICE. Organizers and participants tell ‘Marie Claire’ why this moment matters.

Saw this tweet from the Kingdom Hearts X account, reposting it here for those who don't have X. Honestly disappointed to see this after waiting so long for Square Enix to give us any updates
Post from the official Kingdom Hearts twitter account that reads To our Kingdom Hearts community, After careful consideration, we will be shutting down the servers for Kingdom Hearts IV on March 13, 2026. The game will be delisted from digital storefronts starting today. Those who have already downloaded the game will be able to play until then. As of today, you can no longer purchase in-game currency, but you can still use your remaining balance until the servers go offline. We deeply appreciate your dedication, passion and support for Kingdom Hearts IV over the years. Thank you for playing!

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Fantastic thread from Katrina! Here's some video game examples to back up what she's saying. If a video game translated in 1990 (which had one of the Japanese developers checking every single line to confirm accuracy) can manage to properly translate 「」, so can you! (thread: 1/10)
Screenshot of the Japanese PC-Engine version of Ys I&II, dialogue reads: 町の北東に「バギュ＝バデット」と呼ばれる巨大な穴があります。盗賊はそこから来るようなのです。(with バギュ＝バデット in Japanese kagi kakko) Screenshot of the English Turbografx version of Ys Book I & II, dialogue reads: There is a steep ridge to the north-east of here known as Clifton's Cliff. The thieves seem to hide out near there. (the name Clifton's Cliff is capitalized with no quotation marks) Screenshot of the Japanese PC-Engine version of Ys I&II, dialogue reads: 「黒いマントの男」についての噂を聞いたことがあるかい？ (with 黒いマントの男 in Japanese kagi kakko) Screenshot of the English Turbografx version of Ys Book I & II, dialogue reads: Have you heard about the man in the black cape? He is a real creep. (the phrase "man in the black cape" is in lowercase with no quotation marks)

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

for those unaware, gta5 also had two other major factors pumping its numbers that 6 will lack, meaning these forecasts are based on data that isn't truly representative of demand

-the generational double dip between ps3/360 and ps4/xb1
-the gta online currency bonus angle

like maybe i'm underappreciating the hype that usually follows GTA. GTAV *apparently* made like 10 billion dollars, but that was over its total lifespan. and if Matthew Ball's market analysis is anything to go by, growth has flattened out *or* going parabolic long-term.

Good stream tonight! Cleared most of the second visits and beat our first Absent Silhouette.

Next stream is on Friday, where I'll be wrapping up the Disney worlds (including Atlantica and Hundred Acre Wood). Should be a bunch of funny fun for everyone.

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?
