The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Microsoft is a crater of filth ruled by cruel imbeciles who don’t understand basic facts about the industries they hungrily exploit.

Its executives are *deeply* stupid people who mistake their predatory ruthlessness for savvy. If they all melted in hot slag tomorrow, the world wouldn’t be worse.

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

There is no way to win this game. There is no behavior that will satisfy them.

You are either failing to live within your means, i.e., swearing off all frivolities like some sort of financial anchorite, or you are ruining the economy by not buying things.

i can't feel sorry for someone like this. i just don't accept this kind of delusion as anything but a choice.

Nope! And if I did, no the fuck I didn't

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

sorry I rant about AI so much but jfc these commercials are so depressing. they just had one where a woman is perusing flowers at a florist and asks her phone’s AI what kind of flowers they are and how often to water them. why can’t you ask *the person who works there*?!? am I having a stroke

tech lords like Altman pretty clearly don’t think most other people really “exist” in any meaningful way - certainly not in any way that requires them to consider anyone else’s subjective experience. They see most humans as a bunch of NPCs in a video game where the currency is money and attention

Feeling this one. I've bit the bullet on exactly 1 $80 game (Silent Hill f) but am otherwise focusing on my backlog and indies atp

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

People will wanna justify it, but we have to at least acknowledge that if any other game pulled just half the shit they pull with Pokémon, it’d be eviscerated.

Somehow it’s fine for one of the most lucrative franchises in the world to have significantly lower standards.

!!!

like, no ethical consumption, etc etc, but the level of actually evil bullshit i'm being asked to accept to just access basic stuff is overwhelming

me but about white people tbh

sorry! I locked in but on the wrong thing

Thunberg Confirms Abuse by Israeli Abductors, But Urges World to Focus on Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams "This genocide and other genocides are being enabled and fueled by our own governments, our institutions, our media, and companies. It is our responsibility to end that complicity."

Greta Thunberg: "I will never, ever comprehend how humans can be so evil that you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades [..] of suffocating oppression, apartheid, occupation."

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

also s/o to them for trusting me enough to be like "bro change this shit" (i.e., suggest edits) knowing that i would receive their suggestions well and that the work would be better for it. get you friends that will hold you to the best in yourself. few other things matter more in this life.

my best friend and i wrote a poem together. i should be in bed but i just keep re-reading and re-reading and re-reading it. honestly i think we killed that shit it is SO GOOD and if nothing else i'm so happy they invited me to write with them. laure, i love and miss you so much and all the time. <3

and it's not even a thursday afternoon. WILD work. 🤣

WE ARE SO BACK!! SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM TOMORROW NIGHT <333

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

If people don’t communicate their needs, issues, or triggers and hide things from you only to unleash them like a deluge that’s toxic as hell. You deserve people around you that will have those hard conversations, communicate clearly, and foster actual community. True friends grow together.

I think what they should worry about is that people are going to find out the FF set was made with time and care by fans of the series and the rest are not going to be and that’s going to siphon out enthusiasm overall.
