As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025
I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!
Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship
Silence is compliance!

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development
Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”
This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible
Being a creative right now feels like being attacked with steel rakes every time you open your phone

Localization done correctly involves changing the dialogue. This isn't out of disrespect; it's so the original creator's intent comes through to the intended audience.
When it comes to comedy, for instance, there's a saying, "The subs can tell you a joke. The dub has to make you laugh."

I can’t begin to tell you how incredible localization teams are.
They don’t “just” translate - they rewrite jokes and idioms to recreate the same emotional (or funny) in a different culture and language style, and give invaluable advice on character, regional dialects, and cultural norms

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:
For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.
