so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

So, Itch is just claiming the ability to steal people's money now...
Yeah, no more defending Itch, they suck and deserve to be called out.

Hey y'all! I just had to remove my horror novel from itch to avoid a permanent and irreversible ban, so UHHH idk where that leaves me but it's definitely building my desire to leave the platform entirely

This framing is so interesting to me because Labour literally called me a "flea" that they were happy to "shake off" despite the fact that I was very involved in the party. But I am apparently still supposed to vote for them even after they told me not to do so. Is my vote important or not?
This is why Reform will win (or nearly win).
People on the left hate Starmer/Labour more than they care about the prospect of a Reform led government.
The lessons from the US have not and are not being learned - "it won't happen here" is a view seen far too often.

I have to hand it to the Labour Party, they're undefeated in finding a new way, almost on a daily basis to make me hate them.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

itch.io has shadowbanned most NSFW games and even removed many of them, but they can still be downloaded if you have the link to them, or at least the authors page or a collection they appear in 👇
I don't know how long this approach will work

I think the general public need to cop to the phenomenon of conservative Christians proclaiming themselves to be radical feminists, trans people were way ahead of this rhetorical trick but unfortunately we were ignored
The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.
They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.
Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

The audacity of using AI on an adaptation of an Alberto Breccia comic... a guy who went to any lengths to pursue new ways of analog texturing his work. He made comics of nothing but cut up construction paper, he embroidered landscapes in his panels, and inked with fucking razor blades
