This is deeply antihuman, and it's unfortunately how a lot of tech bros and oligarchs see the world and humanity under capitalism.

Despite how excellent the news may seem, do not get comfortable just yet

One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again

Keep the pressure going, do not let them get away with this

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Panel 4, right: Closeup. Annette looks up to the left, meeting Felix's eyes on the top right left panel. They are stealing glances from each other. Panel 5: Felix and Annette exchange a secretive hand touch as they walk past each other with their friends.

Two bunnies lie on a gray blanket. A small, brown bunny rests on the larger, white and gray bunny.

please continue to contact your legislators and demand that they oppose/drop their sponsorship of KOSA and other internet censorship/surveillance bills.

additionally, advocate for protecting Section 230, and blocking/rolling back online ID laws

Discord says the age verification experiment has already ended and they’re not using persona anymore.
however, I will not be trusting them ever again nor will I ever pay for nitro again if I can help it (needing it for larger file size transfers is bullshit)

6 panel comic P1: a cartoony and deformed depiction of Link from BotW, stopping to pick up a rock laying in some grass. Link has a smile on his face as he does so P2: Link holds the rock above his head, as a Korok leaps up from the spot where the rock had been. They say "ya ha ha! You found me!" Link stares. Smiling. P3: a beat, as Link continues to stare at the Korok, who stares back. P4: an extreme closeup of Link, who has stylistically shifted to looking like he's stepped off the panel of a Fist of the North Star manga, black & white tones and all. His thick eyebrows scrunch together in frustration. P5: We are back to the previous style, as Link --smiling, always smiling-- positions the held rock over the Korok... P6: ...until he drops it on the Korok, who squishes cartoonishly as the rock bounces off their head, letting out a little "ouch!" Link's eyes closed with satisfaction as his smile grows wider.

A digital painting of Link from Ocarina of Time. He stands holding the Triforce glowing in his hands, with the windows of the Temple of Time slightly visible in the background. Only the bottom half of Link’s face is in frame. From the Triforce flow vibrant lines of images, each containing a series of “memories” from across the Zelda series in the form of small individual scenes, each representing one of the Legend of Zelda games.

Happy 40th Anniversary to my favorite video game series of all time! Here’s to many more years of adventure!!

Nintendo coming to my hospital room, after I narrowly survive a brutal stabbing, to C&D me because I was wearing a Mario shirt when it happened

"Discord doesn't use Persona anymore"

You honestly expect us to trust them? You want us to trust a big corporation that managed to get a data breach 4 months ago...

Fuck outta here.

UPDATE from one of Lud’s closer friends:

- someone spoke to him last night at 2 AM

- he is aware of all the fundraising and advocacy the FGC is doing

- he laughed at how much money we’ve raised

- the guards are rude (shocker), but he is physically okay

✨ KEEP POSTING #FREELUD

fgc doesn't just need players.
fgc doesn't just need organizers.
fgc doesn't just need commentators & streamers.

the fgc needs EVERYBODY in order to exist and thrive.

#FreeLud is a great example of what our community can accomplish when we work together.

let's keep fighting to get lud home safe !

Colorised sketcbook pages depicting various character from the Mario franchise. On the left side, Goombella and Vivian chat over a cup of tea about their crushes. On the top right, Rosalina daydreams at a garden table with a mug of hot tea in her hand. Behind her, a starry background where a few lumas twirl around with Mario's spaceship. And finally on the botom right, Luigi hums while reading a magazine.

My ultimate anti-stress remedy ? Drawing Mario characters in casual clothes, having a nice time 😌

This is what US policy has always been btw. The US talks about how it simply has to intervene to save the people of the country, and then it sanctions & kills those same people

Here's Madeleine Albright in 1996 saying that 500,000 dead Iraqi children was worth it to maintain influence in the region

The US military buildup in the Middle East is the largest it has ever been since the 2003 illegal invasion of Iraq that led to nearly 1 million excess deaths.

Yet there is no institutional pushback against a war that will no doubt kill innocent Iranians, including those protesting their government.

BREAKING: ICE took Lud from Baltimore to another detention center in Louisiana without notifying his lawyers.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
- donate to fund the lawyers: gofund.me/fc2fc8f35
- keep boosting in the FGC
- we are seeking connections to relevant elected officials

This is the exact same expression retail employees have to make as customers chew their asses out for not accepting an expired $1 discount coupon

People told me that I was stirring up something that wasn’t gonna happen. That I was an alarmist. Even had journalist tell me that there was no indication that EVO and Saudi would ever get in bed together.

I got death threats, doxxed, had YouTube videos made of me and it’s part of why I moved here

Thank you @qqqewie.bsky.social for drawing my cloud girl!
