Hi folks-- We're receiving reports that some takedowns for Cookie's Bustle are still being made by Web Capio. It seems like their automated takedown systems may inadvertently still be running. We're looking into it.

In the meantime, creators are having success sending response emails like this one:

I genuinely can't believe people think like this to the extent of writing a film about it, if there's ever a history book about this period of time, no one will believe how stupid we were

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Since Cucciolo, the 1998 Italian movie featuring several miinutes of SegaWorld, isn't available in any formats, it's time to get Filmauro to wake up. This movie deserves a decent, non-pirated release.
Please sign, get them to give us SEGAWORLD IN HIGH DEF

I mask as much as possible. The thought that I or a loved one could die or deteriorate so quickly because of something I helped spread around... I could never have that on my conscience.

I'm so sorry for your lost, it's disgusting that such a low number of people do the right thing.

I have to spend my evening ripping up and scanning yet another book because it's the easiest way to make an accurate ebook from inaccessible text

Folks please if you do a book, make sure there's an accessible audio version so I don't have to do shit like this

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

any time a successful indie game is made by someone with a totally unhealthy relationship to work and no work/life balance it just creates that expectation for everyone else. you can't make an art scene off of people who are isolating and torturing themselves with work
