the thing about the roblox interview is that he's more or less just saying out loud what every social media & gacha CEO has been doing for the last 10+ years. selling kids gambling with the minimal legally allowed guardrails is hot profits rn

Could a human make me a 9 minute filter house x "Justice-y" remix of Carly Simon's Nobody Does it Better? That would be so cool.

A roughly drawn chart with large text at the top that says "recognizing ghost types" with a subtitle that says "there are many kinds of ghosts and we can learn about all of them, ok"

Then there are several drawings of different ghosts, mostly sheet ghosts of sorts
Rude - on a skateboard, flipping the bird
Discreet - wearing sunglasses and a hat
Long - long
Hunk - has handsome chiseled features
Forgotten Chores - is looking at a to do list
Satan - has horns
Pervert - has a giant foot
Melting - goop
Dad - has a mustache and wrinkles
Bird - has a beak and wings
Sultry - is laying down with a hand on its head
2 Parter - is cut in two horizontally
Freaky - a weird looking one that has arms and legs and giant eyes and a sideways mouth
Past Memory - inside a polaroid
Floating Head - you can figure this out, it's a severed head
Flat - i think you get the idea
tiny - very small, this is also self explanatory
mouth - mouth
video tape - a small ghost coming out of a tape
silly - wearing groucho glasses and has a fake arrow through head headband
And a big one in the center labeled "normal style"

Donald Trump is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina – to help his political ally stay in power and bail out Wall Street hedge funds – while Americans at home can't afford health care or groceries.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Anyone with a unity account should vote for us in this community choice award because it will be very funny if unity were forced to give an award to some of the loudest whistleblowers of the licensing issues in 2022. Imagine them having to give that team an award.

I decided to take the GOP's "Gamer Dudebros are the new Welfare Queens" mantra at face value.

If this was true, unemployment should have skyrocketed after Medicaid expansion went into effect, right?

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

SO, what should YOU do? Consider supporting the ACLU's campaign against Mastercard's unjust policies that impact this sort of issue.

Steam and Itch.io Are Pulling β€˜Porn’ Games. Critics Say It's a Slippery Slope to More Censorship A conservative group is targeting payment processors as β€œa weapon” to get adult games deindexed in storefronts. Even games that have nothing to do with sex or abuse have been caught in the dragnet.

Antiporn groups said they were only going after games with violence against women. But what got censored? Award-winning games about disordered eating, LGBTQ+ games and anything flagged NSFW.

@megannicolett.bsky.social's reporting raises alarms about the real danger of this censorship campaign.
