Don't donate money to the Internet Archive/@archive.org. My account was locked without notification and thousands of scans of out of print media were taken down entirely on what appears to be a frivolous takedown request from the owners of the Tintin IP, which entered US public domain on Jan. 2025.
Well I scanned every Mario Quiz Card I could find. If you got a relative who worked at Atlas Editions, Newfield Publications or just around Durham and Middletown Connecticut in the 90's and find these in your attic or something, let me know. Be nice to get the unreleased ones to make an even 1800.
Hey, did you know the Internet Archive lets you make a refund request up to six months after you donate? Just email: donations@archive.org with the following: - Date of donation - Amount donated - Full name - Payment method used - Country of origin - Reason for the refund

Between this and how @archiveofourown.org treated me I'm done giving money to online "archives". They're just businesses with a different model. They don't sell ads but they market themselves as "archives" to solicit donations while using a YouTube style banhammer in response to frivolous takedowns.

Beyond Hergé's estate being infamous for this, his "creator" page on @archive.org now only has FOUR works, all forgetting the accent on é. There's TONS of untagged Tintin stuff still up including a blu-ray rip of the 2014 movie! Not my scan of a 1930 copy of The Ritual Woodmen of the World though.

I am hair-on-fire alarmed. Particularly as a Jew. We’ve been in that place…
I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

I’ve never liked the term “settlers.” They’re not settling anything. They’re robbing and pillaging, evicting people from their homes. Colonizers seems more fitting. Really, they’re fascists, fueled by avarice and delusional, genocidal ideology. And Israeli society lets it happen.

Rather than a bridge to the future it promised to be, the Biden administration served as a refueling station for an even more nihilistic, authoritarian, and destructive Trump administration. Democrats need to have learned the lesson by 2028.
I know a lot of people won't want to hear this but the Biden admin opened an investigation on her that the Trump admin is piggybacking on. Your vote for Joe Biden has a clear correlation to her potential deporation www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Massive outbreaks and death aren't the only fallout from anti-vaxxers' rhetoric. Now they're going after the doctors who treat measles patients, reporting them to the state medical board. Thrilled to team up with @walkerbragman.bsky.social on this one! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a fascist nightmare. Politicized law enforcement and deliberate targeting of an elected official who has been critical of the regime. Everyone involved needs to be identified and prosecuted. Trump needs to be impeached and removed from office and put on trial for his various crimes.

The entire Republican Party and broader conservative movement need to be smashed to bits. Donor networks gotta be exposed and disrupted. All the outside machinery needs to be dismantled. And electorally it must lose over and over and over and over. We need a truth and reconciliation commission.
The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

For the second time in my life, a creator whose work I love suffers burnout and put out a REALLY bad installment that is the first of three remaining installments in the magnum opus they started over a decade ago. First was George Lucas & The Phantom Menace. Now it's Toby Fox & Deltarune Chapter 5.

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop
