What if your friend is holding the severed head of a tiny kid that they deliberately starved and now they are refusing to admit any of that is happening while also claiming it's justified and they'll keep doing the thing that isn't happening? Are they still your friend or nah?

ME (placing my arm around my best friend): hey buddy here's what I'm prepared to do together with you--purchase one-way tickets to The Netherlands where, together, we will turn you into the International Court of Justice for the genocide you're doing.

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.

Mage Arena's accents menu; particularly of note is that the British setting has been removed with the explanation: "British has been disabled, It did not work for anyone"

Also this is one of the funniest screens I have ever seen in a video game

We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong. It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no “MR. NICE GUY.” We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump on DC: "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY ... There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK."

Yep. The brief openly complains that they are restricted from arresting someone who an officer "observed ... speaking exclusively Spanish," who works at a place known to hire undocumented immigrants (so any restaurant or construction job?) and shopping at a store in an immigrant neighborhood.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Riot Games Accused of Blocking Mastercard Discourse in VCT Chat As multiple different parts of the art, entertainment, and gaming industries are being impacted by ongoing crackdowns from various payment processors, it appear

Riot Games is accused of actively suppressing any negative comments related to Mastercard or otherwise mentioning the anti-game/NSFW censorship movement on its esports broadcasts.

The decision to do so was reportedly made internally, according to an obtained statement.

Also, it turns out we have a second angle of the exact same moment.

Yeah, I don't think this is AI. None of the usual signs of AI are present. AI is not good a consistent faces in crowds and correct limb placement when limbs go behind other things. This is a real photo, unfortunately.

Yeah, I was looking for the usual telltale signs of AI and wasn't finding any. And if this is an old picture, then it's not like it has the benefit of "well, AI got better since".

The exact same coding error in several places. Doncha hate it when that happens?

the page for article 9 linked from google is now a dead link

uhhhh. so they removed article 1 sections 9 and 10 from the official constitution page. Stuff about Habeas Corpus I'm guessing might be the reason for the removal of 9, and 10 restricts the powers of states and prohibits punishment without a fair trial

Left side, older google map of suburban area of central Gaza, on the right, later erasure of the terrain.

On Google maps, whenever new satellite images replace old ones, the erasure can be seen side by side with the adjacent older photo. I don't know how frequently they update.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

Time has changed

Evangelical legal group asks Supreme Court to overturn same-sex marriage ruling (RNS) — ‘We think that it’s not a matter of if, but just a matter of when, the Supreme Court will overrule Obergefell,’ said Mathew Staver, head of Liberty Counsel.

And so it begins...

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

A tweet by Sam Stein (@samstein) reads: “Student loan forgiveness…” followed by a screenshot of a federal incentives list. The list highlights that ICE is offering a robust package for law enforcement, including: a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents, administratively uncontrollable overtime for deportation officers, and enhanced retirement benefits.

😐 So ICE can get student loan forgiveness...

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Tried calling Stripe as a part of the counter-action to Collective Shout.

Was met with a robot telling me I had a $100 prize and when I reached an operator, he tried getting me to take it as well instead of addressing my concern.

Hey Stripe, why is your number passing off consumers to scammers?

WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material."

So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?"

I think it clicked for him then.

I took the "confused and asking questions" route on the phone with Visa today and in my initial questions, I didn't mention video games at all and the person on the phone said "Visa doesn't block payments to video game sites" so I KNOW they're floundering under these calls.

thank you, muckraking journalists of the bari weiss tribune, for exposing the awesome stuff zohran mamdani has tweeted about like abolishing medical bills and seizing the property of millionaires

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia

write to your MPs.
