Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

PayPal's acquiring bank has terminated Steam payment processing (except for 6 currencies), in a continued push from banking companies to censor video games.

Keep calling, be nice but don't stop talking. Calling your Congress people too and let them know that these censorship laws they want to pass, with their vague writing that can be interpreted however they want and that risk our private information and identities to data breachs, are no go's.

The ironic thing about MCU synergy now is that at least 10 years ago MCU was the biggest thing on the planet. With the movies consitently underperforming, they don’t even have that going for them anymore

It’s what made Krakoa so exciting. It felt like things could change and there could be actual consequences and themes.

And that’s why it is disappointing that it just—kept going until it fizzled out.

It’s what makes the ultimate line more appealing.

Because the mainline feels like Groundhog Day

Kamala’s problem isn’t necessarily that she’s changing because of MCU synergy, it’s that she has ONLY changed because of MCU synergy.

It’s a huge issue with Marvel comics characters that a lot of them in the last five years seem to be kept in a place of perfect stasis. They can’t move or grow

The short answer: the Heritage Foundation have been paying influencers to discredit hormonal birth control for at least 7–8 years now

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment.

If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business.

Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

Stripe crossed a line now.

Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone.

Also libraries and bookstores.

Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Why Labour's Online Safety Act has become a political nightmare The Online Safety Act's broad and vaguely defined scope has led to widespread and seemingly indiscriminate censorship.

How bad is the Online Safety Act roll out going?

UK officials have started spreading rumors that it's the internet's fault — accusing sites like Reddit and Twitter of purposely overcensoring to undermine the unpopular censorship law.

That's Trump-firing-economist-for-reporting-bad-numbers bad.

YouTube to begin testing a new AI-powered age verification system in the U.S. YouTube's launch comes despite concerns on age verification infringing on personal privacy and violating First Amendment protections on free speech.

Remember that the Closing of the American Internet didn't start with YouTube.

It started with Pornhub. You just believed them when they said it would stop there.

Stripe's phone operators have been sounding much more aggressive the past few days, and every time i call they give me a different excuse for who the "real" reason theyre pressuring Itch etc. Some days they say its govt regulations (they wont say which) others they say Visa/MC

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

The story of solar energy development in Spain reveals something important about our current crisis and how to resolve it.

Spain has achieved a massive increase in solar capacity in recent years, outpacing the rest of the EU.

Here are these again, if you need them. Be polite to the person on the other line, but don't let them talk you down, either. Ask for a supervisor. Ask them to write down your complaint and have them assure you it will be sent in as a formal complaint.

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel Arkane Studios' STJV section in France has published an open letter in support of the Palestinian-led BDS movement.

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel

so the only legislative victories of labour, the uk's "centre-left" party are thus far
1. legal to kill grandma
2. all trans people banned
3. like 65% of all adults are now technically terrorists
4. do you have a loicense to read wikipedia

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

r/Steam 9 hr. ago jeeg123 Steam PayPal unavailable update News Join ••• Payment Info Review + Purchase PAYMENT METHOD, STEP 2 • Your Steam Wallet balance is too low to cover this transaction! Please select a payment method for the remaining S$47.74 PayPal PAY We ac methc PayP PayPal is currently unavailable in your country. Learn More Steam Support : Purchasing Issues - PayPal use on Steam is currently unavailable in my currency. Why? In early July 2025, PayPal notified Valve that their acquiring bank for payment transactions in certain currencies was immediately terminating the processing of any transactions related to Steam. This affects Steam purchases using PayPal in currencies other than EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD. We hope to offer PayPal as an option for these currencies in the future but the timeline is uncertain. We are also evaluating adding additional payment methods on Steam for the customers affected by this. In the meantime, please use one of our other current payment methods during checkout. If you can't use any of the available options, you can consider using a Steam Wallet code to add funds to your account.

PayPal is messing with Steam purchases that are not EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, USD

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

You know it's fascinating that they did a re-draw for the Ranger X US release cover, seeing some of the changes is kinda amusing when directly comparing the art

Listen, I had to.

I will still never get over the fact they all went fucking crazy over Top Gun Maverick yet claimed the MCU was the real military propaganda. Not to mention all the Avatar revisionism even if Cameron is a big AI booster
