Fuck 2020.

Sometimes the beautiful things are just in front of you and you just need to open your eyes

I love drawing Link in the archaic set! It looks so good on him and it's the closest we got to having another green tunic in the game 💚 Also a little bonus ember set at the end

rating the ways my family members have referred to me to other people since coming out as nonbinary

my secondborn (my parents)

7/10

sounds vaguely historical but in the way that I'm going to be sent off to war to prevent a succession crisis

potentially confusing to the listener bc the average conversation has little relation to birth order

my sister's, [name] (my aunt)

9/10

direct and to the point!

still very clear about what our family relationship is. I think we can do away with many nouns if this is any indication

my young adult child (my mom)

4/10

it's giving "20 year old minor"

I promise you can just say my kid. it's ok I don't mind strangers thinking I'm like 5 bc that would make me a prodigy for doing stuff like my laundry and dishes in one day and honestly I could use that kind of support

my liberated one (my grandma)

10/10 THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

completely unclear what my relationship actually is to her. her personal oracle perhaps?

made immensely funnier by her immediately following it up with referring to my brother as her grandson.

if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and yet

[twinkiefairy]

I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET

straight up it should be illegal for a physical storefront not to accept physical currency, or for restaurants not to provide physical menus

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I'm assuming the above is a normie opinion (as it should be) so i do wanna go a tiny step further and explicitly state any laundromat that requires digital payment should be burned to the fucking ground

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

if a business cooerces its customers to download an app, i should legally be allowed to set both the business and its board of directors on fire

[cuprohastes]

The assumption that every single business, or service, is owed your personal data, and should be able to track you and mercilessly spam you and monetise the ability to sell off your contact details and so on it’s absolutely deranged.

I have flashlights that are borderline unusable because, while the hardware is fine, the company that made them (hello OLight!) demands that you install and login to the storefront before you can access the configuration software.

But they don’t actively maintain the software or provide any of the new utilities that they promise. They are mostly using it as a way to turn off functional hardware to try and force you to upgrade.

We are living in a society where you can pay for something and the manufacturer can turn it off because they’ve decided that you’ve owned it too long .

I’ve just had to warn my family not to buy electronic door locks because the chances are, if they are Internet connected they will be disabled once the company that owns them has decided that they’re not making enough money charging you a monthly fee to open your own front door.

This is part of an ongoing trend to turn money into something that is no longer usable by everybody .

The eventual aim is to be able to pay people company scrip: If you lose your job, or badmouth the company, or disagree with the dictator, they severely curtail what you are allowed to buy, and from who.

And at that point, you have to pick sides – do you want to be able to have drinking water from Coca-Cola, or Pepsi, and whose package allows you to buy Doritos, and use your smart oven to cook food? Because it won’t turn on unless you use the app to scan the appropriate barcode from the company who now owns your ability to eat drink, heat your home, and wear clothes from brands that they approve.

And if you think that Bezos wouldn’t do that or run his own ghetto where employees have to use Amazon brands and be paid in Amazon money… You haven’t been paying attention to what he’s been building lately.

I go to youtube. Cute animal videos are AI now. I go to instagram. There are AI influencers. I go to spotify. It's flooded with AI bands and music. I go to ebay. Every product is AI. I open netflix. Every movie has AI. I watch TV. All commercials are AI. I cancel all my suscriptions. The customer support is AI. I buy a book. It is written by AI. I talk to my friends. They tell me that AI is their new therapist. I take the subway. Some dude is talking to his AI girlfriend next to me. I go to the beach. The sunset is real. I take a pic and upload it. The photo is enhanced with AI. You can't opt out.

Netflix has a lot of nerve crying and screaming and throwing up and having a tantrum about how password sharing is killing their business and making them hemorrhage money and how they're just struggling to stay afloat, then turning around and spending 72 billion dollars trying to become a monopoly by buying fucking Warner Bros

The Zelda Movie is fully casted and is now in production

Back in July 2025, Nintendo revealed that British actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will portray Link, and British actress Bo Bragason will take on the role of Princess Zelda in Wes Ball’s directed The Legend of Zelda film. This announcement capped years of speculation around who would bring these iconic characters to life. It is worth noting now though, that while only the two leads have been…

really hope this is the last time this photo and the word 'bloodbath' share a headline

For context as someone subscribed to Dropout: Sam Reich, CEO of Dropout, is the man pictured above. He’s not only gone on record about the company having no plans to get involved in AI, he’s walked the walk by taking part in the SAG-AFTA and WGA strikes both picketing and donating to guild relief funds — including donating $10,000 the company had originally planned to use in a for your consideration campaign on the Emmy nomination they’d been given.

They’re also surprisingly transparent about where and how they spend their money, with most of it going towards talent and production costs: marketing is done almost exclusively via social media.

The company makes fun, silly, entertaining videos that can be surprisingly heartfelt and is one of the most affordable streaming services out there. Not only is it $5.99 a month with a discount on yearly subscription, legacy subscribers are grandfathered in (I personally pay less than $5 a month.) They also let customers know about future increases well ahead of time.

No corporation is your friend, but it’s worth noting that people are happy to pay more to a company that not only makes a product they like but is upfront about how they do so.

As for the clown shoes dominatrix comment… well, watch Game Changer now, thank me later.
