In response to that story, Musk spewed some vile transphobia [CW!] that Wilson had to endure.

 

'G/O Media’s management is once again punishing workers for its own bad decisions'

 
 

80 out of 120 workers trying to unionize reportedly quit due to Grindr’s RTO mandate.

 

Review aggregation site Metacritic has spoken out in response to the ongoing review bombing of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

 

Anime Feminist also had the remarkable opportunity to interview Yukimura about Vinland Saga, writing female characters, portraying slavery and the role of Buddhist Philosophy in his work. Our interview with him, which was one of the great honors of my time in anime journalism, is below.

 

The new policy follows weeks of back-and-forth complaints about Islamophobia and antisemitism on the platform.

And - of course - LGBT+ rights are now a "sensitive topic".

 

And because letting “random people steer a company Twitch Plays Pokémon-style” instead of venture capitalists is “fucking funny”

If anyone encounters a paywall: Archived version here

 

The network has aired at least 42 segments mentioning the topic in the last two weeks

The Tokyo High Court ruled on Wednesday that Japanese laws that do not recognize same-sex marriages violate the country's Constitution. This is the second time a high court in the country has handed down such a decision.

Yeah, it's another case of employees paying for the mistakes of management. The company was probably doomed the moment Sony decided that they wanted them to create yet another live-service shooter.

 

It’s official: Concord is never coming back

The upper line says "Strange Nerd", the lower line says "Transgender". Arrows in between them connect the letters of one with the other, thus pointing out that one is an anagram of the other.

Everyone knows why it's different for him: He is white.

Not mine. I only cross-posted it. The honor belongs to the OP ShareMySims who posted it on midwest.social.

Yeah, people who see the long list of minorities that would be negatively affected by a Trump presidency and insist that there is no difference between the candidates are telling on themselves: Who gets the presidency would make no difference - for them. And they have no empathy for anybody else.

Telling people in danger that their attempts to save themselves are contemptible is nothing but cynical callousness.

One more reason: The dish tastes exactly the same every time. No variation at all.

But when you cook real food, there is always a little variation because the ingredients are usually always slightly different (vegetables more or less watery, meat more or less lean, a little bit more or a little bit less salt or flavouring). It's one of the main skills of a really good cook: To perceive the subtle differences during the preparation and to bring out the best possible taste incorporating the differences.

Disgusting! Tell me, where do the furries find those naps, so that I can avoid them!?

You are certainly blowing minds.

At this temperature you are basically the Big Bang, becoming a universe of your own and blowing everyone's mind in the process.

I think it's extra funny that Liefeld very likely traced a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger for that one.

Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.

The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.

The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.

So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.
