Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

Last weekend I released what I would describe as a "mean" evaluation of my vacation to Evo on the FGC 35 on 35 series.
After the most recent news, however, I realized I wasn't mean enough. Not even close. So I rewrote my article to get my real thoughts out there.

Jazzy Circuit is doing a lot of PR for 3s that I suspect is missing from SF4 (or Hyper Fighting, which would be my selection as an old head). Plus sf4 has that wack old delay netcode holding it back, I think with a reissue and rollback it could get traction again

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

!["I can barely get into the US under the Democrats," Ismail said. "The Republicans are straight up disappearing people, mate. I'm Egyptian. I know what disappearing is: Little van shows up, gone you are. In the Republican US, they could grab me and make me go away, and nobody would be able to do shit even if they tried. I think if anyone with Western privilege would be worried about going to Egypt, they should now be equally worried about going to the US. These things are random, unfair, and without recourse."
Others, like Subnautica Below Zero, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry writer Jill Murray, who is based in Montreal, are maintaining a healthy distance from the increasingly bad ol’ US of A out of senses of both solidarity and self-preservation.
"[The breaking point] was seeing how afraid trans and BIPOC friends were of crossing the border. I take it seriously and don’t really want to go where they can’t go," Murray told Aftermath. "My biggest personal factor is that I’ve been self employed for a very long time, and that can make me face more questioning. With a trade war on, it doesn’t feel like the risk is warranted – even if I’m facing mounting pressures to network, given the overall situation of the industry."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiafplrbgnckbbulqb2xdyyn5n4rjcaxfvesf63dk3lccqszb6sa7y@jpeg)

I wonder if anyone would be interested in a TedX event on the umbrella topic of the FGC and Late Stage Capitalism...
If Discord goes public, the FGC needs to stop using it as an archive for guides and resources. Make a website, forum, contribute to other community sites.
Don't risk losing your knowledge base. People have been warning y'all.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."
Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.
This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Not sure how or where to start this conversation, but for years, the FGC has talked about "supporting locals," but what does that actually mean or look like?
I ask this not to be rhetorical but from a place of genuine curiousity as I see more venues like A-cho, Xanadu, and Brooklyn Games closing.

I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.
