The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

My absolutely hottest and meanest take I'm ever going to post is that your ideas should be presented to your peers because there is a chance it'll be ridiculed/challenged.

Having a fucking brick just print "this is brilliant and your dick is huge" is not conducive to critical thinking, actually!

Never forget today, when, on this day in 1988, Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day.

Screenshot from Dark Seed 2. A man in a dress jacket and slacks stands in a desolate, Gigeresque room where the floor is bones. He laments, "Oh, no! Not the Hall of Death again! The only way out of here is death!"

The Warrant of Trade from Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader (2023) but instead of a load of small text it just says "I can do what I want."

Not to worry. I have a Warrant of Trade.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint.

"Farewell". Really?

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.

It’s heartbreaking that people are dying from diseases fueled by hungerβ€”a problem we can and must solve.No one should suffer or die .

I’m tired,exhausted,and constantly worried. My family is just trying to find their next meal while the world watches

So today just 40$.

Great idea. Mastercard DID NOT WANT to be brought up negatively in the context of their sponsorship of Riot's esports

Weaponize that against them

To echo others: that MasterCard is proactively reaching out to its advertising partners to try and blunt the impact of the pressure campaign is one of the surest signs the pressure campaign is having an effect (and after just two weeks, too!) Don't let up! Call/mail their asses!! #SaveSpeech

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sportsβ€”one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

Zoom is already saying they're pushing for them to stop selling Duke and GTA. This is the line. I will keep saying it over and over because it really it do or die time.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: β€˜If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’ β€œI think in a lot of these endeavors we're very like-minded,” Bezos said of himself and Musk regarding getting humans into space.

I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:

we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space

Demonschool releasing Sept 3 for PS5/PS4/XS/PC/Switch (was on Japan Indie World) www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDgr...

"Demonschool is a school-life tactics RPG with hints of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Italian horror cinema, where movement equals action!"

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

i think there was a little misstep in characterizing payment processors as pressured by collective shout early in the movement rather than being the chief culprits. this is why continued pressure is important! they need to forced to stop because they really, really don't want to.

07.08.2025 17:15 β€” πŸ‘ 362    πŸ” 167    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

the thing is that 1,000 people got payment processors to do a thing that they already really wanted to do in the first place and finally had the justification to do so.

They're trying to get by until aid is formally let in. Until then.... why not buy them lunch, or dinner??

haha this rules.

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd
