it's beyond funny (well not really) how I'll look up "binder for trans men" on amazon and the results are like "boob tits binder for female tomboy lesbian girl women"
trans inclusive clothing that misgenders you
I would love if clothing could simply be called what it is. like “chest binder.” “gaff panties.” instead they’re all either “tomboy female bodied afab” and [long string of transmisogynistic slurs]
Saw this on FB and tried to find the original, which I haven't, but the point is so solid.
art museum websites when the artist was a communist: ...he continued to paint, despite the fact that every time someone in Soviet Russia made abstract art Joe Stalin would personally storm into their studio and start tearing apart the canvas with his teeth
art museum websites when the artist was a nazi: ...his work flourished from 1937–1945, a time where nothing particularly notable happened, and then he emigrated to the united states where he designed buildings for private universities
abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

something that often goes unsaid in discussions of ai art is that developing your skills in a medium also teaches you how to have good ideas. This is why, in spite of advocates' insistence that generative AI democratizes art by allowing people to realize their ideas more easily, in practice it's all the most pedestrian shit imaginable. Just pretty anime women staring off into the middle distance with overdesigned backdrops that destroy the composition of the piece, or awful comedy "skits" where the comedic timing is all wrong and everything is offputting/goes on too long. There are no great AI artists because AI is a vastly inferior tool to people who have developed these skills (as it's heavily biased and much harder to edit) leaving the rest to be made by some moron trying to realize the most banal mid-10's Buzzfeed listicle shit you can possibly imagine.

The tragedy of TERFs being such weenies about exposing their blogs while sending anon hate (which, in fairness, is justified; too much material) is that I'll never get to shake the hand of the virtuoso who made this.
There's a lot to love here:
TikTok squeamishness around the phrase "kill yourself" leading to our beloved masked litterateur settling, unaccountably, upon the cartoonish and exaggerated "nuke yourself", giving off the impression that I'm being suicide-baited by Wile E. Coyote.
The idea of a gay supremacist.
The hasty correction to a gay MALE supremacist (after she presumably realized the first message sounded a bit too WBC-adjacent)
The question of what a gay male supremacist's political goals and ideology would even be. Swapping out the national anthem for "Freakum Dress"? Forcing schoolchildren to watch the Carol Burnett Show and "UNHhhh"?

there's this taylor swift song they play at work constantly that has this one pair of lines that makes me think she's singing about a bridge troll. so here's my edit of that

posts with fake songs i can imagine so perfectly it’s like they were real
im not saying we shouldn't be calling out hypocrisy but i do think it's important to be aware of what i call the Two Different Guys Fallacy. and that's that whenever you're thinking to yourself, oh how come X group claim they want this thing but also support that other incompatible thing. take a moment to stop and consider whether it could just be Two Different Guys that think each thing
so im having a piss in the bathroom (where its supposed to go…) and these vaping godless wenches think the sound of my tinkle warrants a giggle. does anyone know how to get me in contact with some powerful etsy witches for a cheap and swift vengeance
its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.
Folks really need to reacquaint themselves with this concept
