Folks, listen to me.

Don't go looking up what blocklists you're on or who blocks you, down that path lies madness, poster's madness! Don't do it! People will block you for any reason, or no reason at all, just ignore it. I always assume that if I'm blocked it's probably because I was annoying.

I tried asking Epic for more information on their "the cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot and we’re raising prices to help pay the bills” statement—a statement that feels exceptionally out of touch in this economy—and was told the company would not be elaborating.

It was apparently donated to the group before the event (which means it was no longer Kiciński's property unless they fumbled something with the documents or tried to bullshit the tax office).

It's a shitty situation and the whole group reeks of "bored white people appropriating Native American culture" but there's definitely an undertone of "satanic panic" type click-chasing to the reporting, Kiciński is a millionaire and CDP became a household name in Poland.

TL;DR Kiciński got involved with a woo-peddling "shamanistic" group and donated his farm to them years ago, someone died there in 2018, the police is investigating the group but not Kiciński for now. The OG source is a popular Polish clickbait-happy news site, take it with a pinch of salt.

hard not to read all this age verification and censorship shit as our deeply reactionary government got the faintest whiff that an unchecked internet severely interferes with their ability to propagandize and decided it had to die

Not excusing the guy BTW but I'd say "getting tangled up with some brand of woo-peddlers" is something you basically expect a millionaire to do at this point in time.

It's a Polish tabloid-tier news site trying to farm clicks with juicy headlines, Kicinski isn't getting investigated by the police ATM, his only link to the case is donating the land to the group involved in it (which is pretty dubious considering their profile but not strictly a crime).

Theyre only going after in-game gambling/loot boxes as a means to get age verification in the door

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

He donated a farm property to a group associated with an ayahuasca shaman, a woman died during a ceremony there in 2018, and the police say that they are not currently looking to press charges against the CD Projekt founders.

Of course, the headline and Pat are making it sound a lot more sinister

Its how we get "oh petite bodies/aged up/small breasts/age play are against TOS"

Thats where "digitigrade legs arent allowed" comes from

They will never have the nuance you want. You are being a useful idiot.

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it

Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

For trans people, online resources and community are lifelines. The spread of age verification laws combined with anti-trans ID laws will block access to these lifelines. This is by design.

British politics, more than any other, has an unrivalled streak of paternalism where marginalized people are easily dehumanized as spoilt children who must be sternly punished and managed and whipped into shape.

Our advocacy is simply seen as as tantrums.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

The whole anti-fiction crusade pisses me off so badly because not one of the people involved understands art or fiction.

These people are fine with boring heterosexual coming of age stories where some Billy Everyteen is clearly having sexual fantasies about banging some girl his age.

Woodcarved creature (Siren Head) with very long skeletal arms and legs, also too many ribs. Its head is a pole with two speakers and wires. Those speakers have teeth. On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index.

At Least Three Ships Struck By Projectiles Near Strait Of Hormuz, U.K. Says The purported attacks come amid Iran’s threats to target ships in the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation against the U.S.-Israeli strikes on its territory.

Three cargo ships have been hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday.

Anyone thinking this all goes away once TACO kicks in, I need you to stop assuming that the US has anything close to control over what it started.
