If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

I got to play this when I was in Gamecenter a few weeks ago, and it's kind of shockingly fun. I love trivia so I might be overselling it, but I had a really great time.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

For all the grandstanding, Democrats have been nowhere to be seen on the ground in Minnesota. The work there is being done by leftist groups, immigrants rights orgs, and random citizens. Took Walz almost a week to visit Good's memorial. Democrats do not functionally exist in the conversation anymore

I posted on a game's community forum that they lost a sale from me because they were bigots and I hoped other people would follow.
It got removed for harassment.
Meanwhile *this* is okay Steam?! Okay. Piss off.
Wishing the big guys at Valve choke on their lunch this afternoon. 🖕

the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.
