Workers run the world, not machines. Don’t let them make us forget about each other.

the answer to the trolley problem is that we have to blow up the fucking trolley i think

*Rereads*

Oops, you're right, dunno how I misread that.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I've been thinking about this all day. Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. Whether you're a colleague, friend, fan, gamer, or even just a random person who caught this on your feed, thank you. 💙

I don't expect my job back, but you all HAVING my back means so much!

SHUT YOUR DOOMER ASS UP & REGARD LIFE AS PRECIOUS ENOUGH TO DEFEND, SUNSHINE!!!!!

I have been saying for years that there is something weirdly cancel-proof about Tom Cruise. we have known jaw-droppingly horrible things about him for decades and it has not made a dent! people still line up around the block to watch his movies! maybe this will be different but 🤷‍♀️???

It reads like he's only just discovering differences, instead saying "I just don't like it" rather than having fascination with it, dunno what else to say other than simplifying with "cultural differences", but character limits. Not like someone's taking gross amount of liberty with Japanese scripts

To be fair, I'd be annoyed about naming a horse after the Monarchy too.

I'm not putting up any GoFundMe or anything, I'm just saying I can only hope people around me can understand, I'm not using it as an excuse, in fact it's sort of the opposite. I got goals and can have a little control, it's more if I invest a little TOO much time on side quests...

Hey, so disclosure, I've been without ADHD medication for some time, due to costs of a review just to get repeats, so to speak, and I'm tired of the hoops, and the costs for a condition I never sought assessment for.
Managing motivation, impulse and emotional control and anxiety is kind of hell.

Doing what's right is never easy, but if you got everyone else's back to those who want to, or who are working in this field, they're going to have yours, no hesitation.

Once I become a proper full time pro, I'll see about talking to Tony Khan about a spot in the Casino Battle Royale.

Please tell me Grammarly can and will be sued into oblivion for this. It can't be allowed! You should not have to opt out of identity theft! Please T_T

Put aside whatever ick you feel about people making art. Platforms like SubStar and Patreon are strangling the livelihood of artists at the behest of payment processors.

Wouldn't this be like suing EB Games, or GameStop because they sold Forza which has these songs.
The lawsuits against Valve are starting to feel extremely frivolous, even if there is a grain of legitimacy, almost like someone's bankrolling these to make Valve's and the gaming ecosystem's lives hell

If you’re feeling like you passed through stress and anxiety and now you’re just exhausted and stuck: you may be in the dorsal vagal state, and it’s worth understanding why and how to gently support yourself out.

Excellent, practical and science led approach in the video:

OH IN ADDITION, gets even more screwed up if said companies started bragging about record profits. Like bloody clockwork.

Real gross companies try to make a deal so bullshit, that it could have devastating ramifications for the industry as a whole. You've got a lot of independent people out there willing to pay actors and other artists, but a corporate entity will squeeze so much and give so little.
We're behind ya Ben

By that logic, then SAG is the lesser evil, what's this person's real point? Actually don't answer that, if that person's stuck with hate boner, then their life is fine.

Mario smiling as he tells Luigi, "No woman can resist the charm of a Mario."

Happy Mario Day

It's my hope that Capcom changes their mind. If lower-to-non-existent-budget games can sign a union contract, there's frankly no reason Capcom can't.

And a Merry Mario Day to yous too

Well you can't spell Gianni without.....AI....oh fuck.
