Just a reminder that File770 came for everyone who dared to be upset at the GRRM Hugo Losers Party Attendees Left Standing In The Cold With No Way Home fiasco and accused them all of bullying a harmless little old man for using MSDoS. They showed us who they were YEARS ago.

It's a great day to unfollow @file770.bsky.social, which has become a Nazi bar.

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My story in this ace anthology was inspired by the time I drove through Pluckley (the most haunted village in England) and saw two girls selling lemonade by the side of the road…

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

The number of people who openly announce at comic cons in the UK that they don't read is absolutely wild, because that just doesn't happen as US cons I've been to. Literally nobody feels the need to proudly declare "I don't read!" the moment they see a book over there.

A whole country of people who say whatever pops into their brains the moment it arrives, but not one of them says "I don't read!", and especially not like it's a badge of honour.

Sharing a couple fundraisers each day. It’s not much but hey it’s something. I understand feeling sad and angry about it all but small stuff matters. Throw a couple dollars at people in need if you can.

So... That Turning Point/UVF documentary with all the people admitting to actual crimes is going nowhere except the memory hole then, huh? Damn, you'd think that'd be at least one or two real journalists in the country capable of feeling shame about what that says about the industry.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Have to be honest here: Comic con tables are getting so expensive that I can see a point where indie creators are priced out of exhibiting. It simply won't be worth the cost / time. It's a worrying trajectory I don't see many discussing. If exhibitors can't afford to exhibit, there's no show 🤷‍♂️

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

#AceWeek AceWeek AceWeek! I could try to tell you all about my demisexual main character and the twelve books he's been in so far, but I'm also very tired 🫠

Today, we saw in live time what it looks like for Egyptian security and executive interference in the judiciary to take control, for a verdict to be pre-set by decision-makers outside of a courtroom, for years of rule of law violations to go uncriticized. This is that legacy.

There are no words—defense lawyers denied adequate time to review case files, a judge refusing to hear witnesses or review documents, police officers filling the room, the court appointing Lina Attalah a lawyer AGAINST her will and despite her 8-person legal team. For shame.

AK Faulkner reposted

Following an absolute farcical trial that makes a mockery of the rule of law, an Egyptian court has fined Lina Attalah LE 3 million and ordered the closure of Mada Masr, Egypt's leading independent media outlet, relied on by the world's diplomats, researchers, and scholars.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
