Hey, you know how the US is going to ban TikTok unless its owners sell it off? The EU should do the same thing with Twitter.

Cool. So do we just nuke it and start over with some decent people this time?

A real cop would have taken their side, clearly. Hell, most of the real cops literally did, because Trump told them to and they probably didn't need a lot of persuading anyway.

Hi. I'm not here to report anything new, but I had a showerthought today about this IP. Isn't it funny how the game that could be described as "That other game from 2013 that's half shooter and half walking sim, where Troy Baker escorts a girl whose name starts with "E L" through a dystopia...

What if losing the Secret Service protection was his sentence. Just that. He still gets to do whatever he wants, but with the ever-present risk that anyone, anywhere, could make the consequences happen for him that the state can't be bothered to. It might be worth it just to see if it scares...

I would have expected Nintendo to be the first to drop them, what with being a kid-friendly platform and Twitter having historically given maybe fewer shits about what can and can't be shoved in users' faces than than any other mainstream platform.

Wow. I super-misinterpreted the headlines. The game was "delisted in 177 countries" which I assumed meant all of them. Because how many countries can there be, right? Or at least, how many countries can there be where Steam is officially available? The answer is 177 more than PSN. Sony, one of...

Also, even if you made it as inclusive as possible, by its very nature a "prayer breakfast" is still going to exclude atheists and religions like Buddhism that don't have a deity to pray to.

I mean I wonder what made Valve decide to ban the game.

Well, "Democracy" and also Valve straight up banning the game from Steam over it, from what I hear. I wonder what made them decide to do that this time and not the dozens of other times games have released surprise updates that suddenly required signing up for some service. Was this one actually...

Yeah, and then one side actually won and decided to do what winners always do and pretend it's because they were the good guys, and not because all wars have to end eventually. I do wonder how much longer it would have had to be dragged out before both sides would get so fed up with being...

To be fair, "blocked users can't even see your posts" was always pointless on a platform where you don't even have to have an account at all to see people's posts. "Just log out to see posts from people who blocked you" was such well known workaround that all they were doing was tricking users...

And I say that even collectively, what you'd get from doing that is small potatoes compared to what you'd get fleecing multibillion dollar companies. If they wanted to make more money off their customers, they'd just jack up prices across the board because that's less effort and comes with...

Hey I'm not against locking up all the other former presidents too if that's what it takes.

The ultimate compliment to ninja craftsmanship. To see what has been done and swear that it could not be possible.

Hmm. I wonder who out there does good guides on making pixel art. Brandon James Greer is one that keeps popping up in my YouTube recommendations, but not many of his videos have interested me enough to sit through, so the algorithm hasn't started leading me further down the rabbit hole. On a...

Oh, and while we're at it, let's ban social media sites from being for-profit too. (And then maybe we can work our way into every other industry...)

Didn't the Fairness Doctrine require giving equal time to both sides of the political aisle? Wouldn't that just turn horse-race reporting and both-sides-ism from something they do because it makes money to something they're actually required to do? I think the ban on for-profit news media would...

Do I need to post the Comstock dog speech from Bioshock Infinite again already?

And we're normalizing their normalizing by continuing to pretend any part of our current government is actually legitimate and that all we need to do is continue participating in The System to fix it. A country that owes its entire existence to a bloody revolution, and a document written by a...
