“A very bad joke”, “embarrassing”, “patronising”, “dystopian”, and “tone deaf” are some of the words that have been used to describe a video from the Department of Housing advising people on moving back in with their parents.

This reminds me of a conversation I saw from a British lib dem about how it was reasonable to obey British supreme Court anti-trans law because otherwise they'd lose too much money fighting legal challenges. So instead they chose to comply in advance. This person is trans.
If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator...
...then you are still a collaborator.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

Is there any other context where a gentile making blanket statements about "young Jewish Americans" wouldn't be received as facially antisemitic
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

The collapse of the Soviet Union coincided with the accumulation of capital into private hands. It isn’t that different from the effects of enclosure and industrialization had in England.

The death of Flash basically killing an entire segment of independent and free game development overnight is one of those things that never really gets spoken about, which is a real shame because a lot of that first generation of Newgrounds talent did break into the animation and games industries.
I genuinely think kids in the mid-to-late aughts growing up on emulators (read: piracy) may genuinely have been far, far healthier for the future of the industry than all the kids growing up on stuff like Roblox being the norm.

Breaking on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department is considering seeking another indictment of James Comey this week in the Eastern District of Virginia. It might be going before a grand jury today.
