I love Abigail's work and watched her video on this subject at least 3 times, as well as sharing it with others. I highly recommend it as a companion piece to this article: https://youtu.be/v1eWIshUzr8

This article is blatantly transphobic.

What kind of people target the Internet Archive? I don't have an X account so does anyone know what the hackers' mission statement is?

Agreed. We have three "large" grocery stores in town: a Safeway (Albertson's), Grocery Outlet, and a local grocery store which, like yours, is extremely expensive. Our Safeway appeared on the list of divestitures and I think that would probably raise prices as well as change the staples we have available. It sounds like a bad situation all around.

As an asexual woman who loves badminton, can confirm. It's definitely not a sport that can involve running around in tight clothing getting sweaty.

Not to mention a testimony from a man he was dating in Toronto.

How topical Some More News' latest video is. My heart goes out to the injured pedestrian and I hope she makes a good, quick recovery.

As much as I love the first Immortals for the characters and setting, it still felt very much like a typical Ubisoft game. I'm only mildly disappointed at this cancellation.

Ah, yes, because being trans definitely has a bearing on whether or not you're good at chess. These totally aren't just explicitly transphobic policies enacted by bigoted old men. I would also like to point out that the current president of FIDE is the former deputy prime minister of Russia. Not that Russian people are all transphobic, but I wonder if some of Putin's influence isn't in this decision.

I think the point is that they shove so much unreasonable stuff into a single bill that if Democrats want to pass any of it, they must capitulate to some of the Republicans' wants. So a long period of negotiation will begin where Democrats will successfully get some of these additions removed, and an agreement is eventually reached where some of these poison pills will remain.

Unfortunately, Republicans would never agree to pass a bill without some of their additions in it, and most Democrats are not willing to dig in their heels and resist.

Oh my God I've been wanting the shape builder forever! Thank you InkScape devs. 😭

Thanks for the correction on lease vs license; I didn't really understand the difference.

I'm pretty appalled that women are half the population and make up such a small percentage of movie roles. Not that it's new information, it's just frustrating.

The problem is that online storefronts all lease (edit: it's actually license) you the games you own until your account is terminated. I miss actually owning media.

As a late 20s asexual gay person, I was in complete denial until my early 20s about my asexuality and until my mid 20s about being gay. Not because my parents weren't accepting, but because society is heteronormative. Always good to reinforce an open, positive attitude!

I felt the same way when I opened the new Hitman reboot, and a bit when I opened TotK. What I like about BotW and TotK is that you basically can't miss content. Some events are one-time-only but you have to experience them actively first. Quests and adventures will wait for you. I feel a lot more paralyzed and FOMO if the game just doesn't wait for me to explore what I want in my own time.
