Elon Musk's N*zi Salute At The Trump Inauguration Rally. The US Government Will Attempt To Censor This

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

We know many of you have seen NaNoWriMo's recent statements on generative AI...

Well, we have too—and that's why we've made the decision to retract our sponsorship of NaNo.

Your support and belief in human creativity, transparency and collaboration mean everything to us, and we're committed to staying true to that. Thank you all! 💙

does anyone else immediately lose interest in a book when there's a romantic subplot or is that just me

While the world enjoys summer vacations and the freedom and safety that come with them, the people of Gaza, especially in the northern region, are living a daily nightmare. Continuous bombings have reduced their homes to rubble, forcing them to live amidst the ruins. Water and food have become scarce, and standing in lines for basic necessities has become part of their daily routine.

For over nine months, my family has been enduring harsh and difficult conditions in the Jabalia refugee camp. Our homes are destroyed, and we live under extreme summer heat, targeted randomly by missiles. My little brother, who was supposed to enjoy his summer break after a tough school year, now finds himself moving between lines for water and food, spending his days just trying to survive. He couldn't attend school last year, and now he is weak and sick from the effects of war and hunger.

We have decided to start a fundraising campaign to help my family escape this nightmare and secure a better future for us. Your donations and help in spreading this campaign can make a huge difference in our lives. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety.

Please, share this campaign with your friends, family, and anyone who might be able to help. We desperately need your support.

You can donate through our GoFundMe campaign at the following

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

If you can, reblog.

Australia’s newest climate report has shown how bad the climate crisis has gotten. The information is both horrifying and not new.

We knew this would happen. They knew this would happen. There is no longer an excuse.

Australia’s climate has warmed by an average of 1.51 +_ 0.23 Celsius, its oceans have warmed by 1.08 Celsius since 1990.

There is less rain, less water flow, sea levels are rising and the risk of catastrophic fires grows every day.

If you have the means to change: change.

If you don’t: inspire others to.
