The past several years we've seen the normalization of absolutely deplorable behavior in online spaces and irl. It's honestly driven me nuts how there's a lack of any reaction at all to everything that's been going on.
Thank you, Alanah, for the reminder that this shit is not acceptable.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Weird Al becomes a martyr of the revolution and by the 2050s we're all getting teary-eyed when a mournful rendition of "Eat It" comes on the radio.
Yankovic was all set to donate memoribilia—including his Hawaiian shirt from UHF—for a planned exhibit, but, "I’m putting that on hold."

The takeaway should be that running passionately on progressive platforms and having actual beliefs gets your more votes than running the same old sex pests in suits who only know how to react to polls and donors. Let’s see if the Democratic Party actually embraces this lesson

Never let oppressors tell you how to protest
Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."
Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"
It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017
This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up

AVGN being furious about Dustborn (an undersold indie game) because it has queer non-white people in it is an absolute barrel-scraping low.
