4 panel comic Panel 1: A Purple person is standing holding a clipboard. A Blue Person sits at a laptop. Blue Person: Woohoo. I’m the CEO of a social media platform. Panel 2: Purple person: We should hire a PR person to interact with the public Blue Person begins to type on laptop and says: Nope. Gonna do all that myself Panel 3: Purple person looks concerned and says: Really…but… Panel 4: Purple person: You’re such a whiny little fucking baby

this was called Cohost—not enough people used it or spent money on it relative to the amount of money it cost to (1) pay its 4 employees a living wage for their labor; and (2) keep the site running, so it died, nothing like it has taken its place at the scale it existed, and now we're here

Got my performance review.

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

A source reached out to me claiming MasterCard contacted Riot Games about the ongoing Steam/itchio controversy. MasterCard is a major Riot esports sponsor. This is the message going around internally from Riot, paraphrased: * MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams * Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard * Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

you know what would be really funny?

if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

There is nothing wrong with being a child. There is nothing wrong with being a woman. There is nothing wrong with being a man. There is nothing wrong with being queer. But there are many things wrong with being a billionaire, and there is everything wrong with being a Nazi.

I love seeing conservatives getting pushed out of speedrunning spaces and being scared to participate in them. We should keep doing that just by existing and not backing down. If you think GDQ is “too political” you should eat dirt 👍
