@josh The whole war against "hate" is starting to remind me of the War On Terror.

@TradeMinister @SteveTheDragon Yeah, it's almost like, as soon as Google became the main source of income for the Mozilla Foundation, they just completely started ignoring privacy for some reason. Probably a coincidence.

the antivax argument basically comes down to whether or not the government is worse than polio

YouTube is really on a roll with killing channels this week, Eric Pettway got deleted. I assume because he has a lot of non-civilian full-auto firearms. I believe he owns a business renting firearms to the movie industry.

Now that I think about it, Phantasy Star IV was one of the games I succeeded in making my mum play during a particularly hard time, with me live translating. The other was Final Fantasy IX (which we played using its multiplayer mode). She finished neither but it succeeded in its task.
Great games, those.

@piggo @pea @moonman everyone hated Phil Fish because he was an arrogant prima donna who bragged constantly about his supposed genius, treated his fans like shit, said all Japanese games were trash, and canceled Fez 2 because people on the internet made fun of his criminal whore girlfriend

Fediverse friends and followers from around the world, I have a huge favor to ask!

If you are out for a walk or drive and you spot a payphone, would you mind sending me a photo of it? (DMs are always open) I will feature it on my #100DaysOfPayphone thread over on the birdsite and of course give you credit.

When I started this a couple of weeks ago I didn't realize all of my old photos from before 2018 are gone, which means the hundreds of old phone photos I had taken at one point are also gone. But maybe this opens an opportunity to see payphones from around the globe.

This could be a payphone that you spot in the wild that still exists (thank God there are still some of those out there) or it could be a photo you took in the past of a phone that may or may not be there anymore. But please, let me see your payphones!

If you have photos of other cool phone equipment or phones that aren't payphones, they won't work for the #100DaysOfPayphones thread, but I encourage you to send them my way as well. Phone related stories? I'd love to hear them! Please help me spread this around the world!

All payphones are acceptable, but I especially encourage you to send in any photos you have of payphones from countries other than the US or phones that are unique in some way. Also, PLEASE boost this toot and help me get this call for help out there! Thank you! 📞

After almost a year of development, I am happy to announce #FediDB will be launching to the public this weekend!

Building ActivityPub applications will be much easier with FediDB.

Special thanks to @NGIZero for funding development of this project!

Constant disinformation is essential because all current year premises are insane and self destructive.

Disney spent $4 billion to buy Star Wars then turned it into a feminist propaganda brooding body that drove off its core spending audience.

Without narrative control everyone involved would have been sacked in a shareholder revolt.

@Clj2463 absolutely. Critical race theory is in fact neoracism masquerading as anti-racism.

The very act of singling out an entire group by color, stereotyping them, and telling them their culture and thoughts are fundamentally flawed is the definition of racist.

Its easy to spot. Take any of their policies or positions, substitute 'black' for 'white' and you see right away you'd be run out of town as a bigot for saying the exact same things they say
