YouTube video by Council of Geeks Fifty Shades of Grey's legacy of harm

With today's video I want to use Fifty Shades of Grey to talk about the harm of a piece of art falling into the hands of an audience who will fail to see its problems.

Most Americans back Trump's deportation goals but not his tactics, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds They generally disapprove of his hard-line tactics, including masked agents in tactical gear who have clashed with U.S. citizens.

This is important: Trumps methods are unpopular, but his stated goals are not. Even if he is removed and the methods changed the exact same people are still going to be targeted. It’ll just be done more quietly, and if you think that makes it ok: wake the fuck up.

Supporting GenAI is a right-wing position.

Yes, really.

AI data centres poison the environment, disproportionately affect low-income areas, and are owned and operated by technofascists. GenAI directly benefits the owning class while physically harming workers and pushing them out of their jobs.

It’s not perfect, never was. Hell I’m still pissed they gave a platform to that bullshit “exorcist” con artist on that one episode of Crowd Control. But I don’t get thinking these are unrecoverable or boycott worthy.

Ok, for the record, I get being disappointed in Dropout taking part in the show The Rookie (copaganda) and all that.

But I also feel like some of y’all are dipping into demanding purity to a degree I don’t think helps anybody.

Or maybe you just put Dropout on a pedestal in a way I never did.

Bitch get off the Internet. Keep the blissful ignorance going.

Not to be a cynical dick about it, but…

Yeah, because this country is so well known for stopping mergers. Yep, that's totally a thing we still do.

Fucking Paramount... y'all don't even know how bad this is going to be.

But how else is he supposed to make money if he's not mad at well known stuff?

No gaming stream tomorrow, I'll be back to that next week.

Go thrown off because they were formatted to be on the opposite of the panel.

Abigail from Stardew Valley

Hailey from Stardew Valley.

My brain might not have gone there if not for the cow, but here you go for reference.

Before I read a word of the description I thought "Oh, it's Abigail and Hailey from Stardew Valley." No idea if that thought will make you smile, but it did me.

YouTube video by Break Room of Geeks The Underwater Menace - Classic Doctor Who review

My thoughts on the animated recreation of the Second Doctor story The Underwater Menace, both as a story and in how it's been approached as an animated recreation.

There's already a comment with the time code for when I lost it in the comments.

Well check the back end of the last stream and you'll see my reaction to something I don't want to be specific about.

Banner for the game "of the devil"

Ok, so I finished the prologue chapter of the deductive visual novel "of the devil" on stream earlier today and... look, I'll do a full video on this eventually but let me just say that the game has an "episode 0" that is free to play, and it's worth your time.

Got commissioned to look at the first two episodes of Outlander. And you know something? It was off to a pretty good start. Then rape was threatened three times in 20 minutes. And a quick glance at a synopsis showed that word quite a bit. Yeah, I won’t be watching this past what I was paid for.

Archie was looking extra cute today.

That's great @criterion.bsky.social NOW DO NIMONA!

Frak this Podcast! continues as Battlestar Galactica tries to tackle working conditions and unionization and comes *so close* to not screwing it up. Plenty for @jessiegender.bsky.social and me to pick through.

YouTube video by Break Room of Geeks Cult of the Lamb - a rambling review (with some thoughts on Moonlighter thrown in)

I sunk way more time into Cult of the Lamb than I'd expected to, so here's my thoughts on it.
