NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.
"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers
Remember like, a decade ago when saying something even half this stupid and bigoted would have ended anyone's political career on the spot? It would have been 24/7 news coverage with analysts calling for him to resign. There would have been public outrage. I miss living in precedented times.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Yep. We queer elders were there in the 90s and early 00s, and we've heard every single anti-trans argument before when we were in school and they were anti-gay arguments.
In 2005, Time Magazine did a cover story on “The Battle Over Gay Teens.” It’s the same handwringing we see now from “concerned” adults on behalf of young people. “Kids are disclosing their homosexuality with unprecedented regularity–and they are doing so much younger.” time.com/archive/6596...

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."
I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

There are some people who claim "oh, Dems in blue states will never shift towards enacting anti-trans policy" Meanwhile Colorado is literally enacting a medical detransition protocol for trans youth on medicaid.
Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Tell me more about how much better it will be for trans people as long as we "vote blue, no matter who." Both parties hate us and want us removed from society. There is no pushing these people to the left after they've been elected because Democrats are not left wing.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

It's cool how any time we have a Dem president they can't do anything at all cause mean ol' Congress and SCOTUS won't let them but a single madman can do literally anything he wants and no one can stop him.

Truly just ghoulish behavior from the Democrats. And yall wonder why trans people are pessimistic about this gov ever helping us. They say they will include us but inclusion into what? They only accept us when we make them comfotable; it’s never about enabling us. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Also, the company that did the mailers is linked to several shell companies, and the entities are unknown. This is how you know it was done by a rich person to try to affect the election in the state of Texas.
Elon Musk is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Texas and the next thing you know parents started receiving flyers about how they held. Their kids can get help for being transgender. The address on the envelope is invalid and they were mailed from a print shop in Wyoming not Texas.

Well, *now* JD Vance will take it seriously. He's OK with raping children but everyone knows how he feels about killing family pets. [taps earpiece] I'm being informed that Amy Acton's biological mother is white, so in fact JD Vance does not care that she killed family pets.

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

One of the most dangerous people in the world now owns a huge chunk of CBS News and CNN...not to mention all of the other Skydance media companies. Don't forget that Musk is also the largest single donor to Trump's Republican party. Oligarchs should not have this much control of our media.

Goddammit, this looks so good. Seems like they took the hint and went back to Mass Effect 2 for inspiration. And Liara! Where did it fit in the timeline? We'll never know. Publishers ruin everything.

It's so weird how we learned that there's pedophiles in our government and corporations, then they propagandize the populace via a vulnerable scapegoat, and now we have the potential for pro-pedophile laws Real fucking odd that don't you think?
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638
