“We can now point to specific heatwaves and say, ‘Saudi Aramco did this. ExxonMobil did this.’ When their emissions alone are triggering heatwaves that wouldn’t have happened otherwise, we’re talking about real people who died [...] all because of decisions made in corporate boardrooms.”

I thought "too hot" was when my glasses would fog up because of how much I was sweating. However, I have found a new feature: my (metal) glasses are too hot to touch

You've probably heard of Steam and Itch censoring several NSFW games.
Perhaps you helped the online rants against Itch.
Or perhaps you've just found this and have no idea what I'm about.

Steam has added a new rule disallowing games that violate the rules and standards set forth by payment processors and card networks, or internet network providers.
At the same time, many incest themed games were removed from the store.

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

Dumb idea, but have people considered calling them to ask if relatively mundane purchases will be allowed under the guise of protecting brand identity (or whatever that BS statement said)?

A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

Demand every processor tell you when they launched an investigation into steam, itch, patreon, and what illegal content they found. When they say it's because theyre "high risk", ask them why they're discriminating against protected groups. Repeat. They're blaming each other because they're scared.
Visa too is doing the "increased risk of illegal activity" thing, so this also works for them! WHAT illegal activity did they fear, and exactly how does banning all adult content do anything to "safeguard" against this illegal activity?
