Good video from the Jimquisition going over the bullshit happening against marginalised streamers on Twitch recently. If you are a Twitch streamer I highly encourage you to not go live on September 1st in protest against the hate raids.

Spread this to black trans or non-binary people you know: the Marsha P. Johnson Institute is paying $500 directly to black trans or non-binary folks, with priority given to black trans women and those who have experience as sex workers or have been formerly incarcerated

Tusky is not updating my timeline on c.f... hm. wonder if it's just the wifi being fucky

If you let the sheep worm paste posts stay up and put the responsibility of debunking it onto your users, then random bystanders (who would have never thought of eating sheep worm paste) will see two people arguing about sheep worm paste.

They won't think LOOK AT THIS DINGDONG EATING SHEEP WORM PASTE, they will think THERE IS AN ARGUMENT ABOUT SHEEP WORM PASTE.

And they'll be right. Because you hosted that argument. You facilitated it. You paid for it to happen on your property.

Adding onto the community moderation thread:

I just saw a guy in another thread do the whole Let The Lies Spread argument: instead of banning misinformation and propaganda from your site, allow it to stay up because your users will argue it and show it to be nonsense, and anyone watching will see it debunked and form a sensible conclusion.

If that's a thing you believe is true, still, in 2021, when people are eating sheep deworming paste, then you should NEVER run a social website.

Soooo...

A new Big Top Burger episode came out two months ago and I literally just found out... Today. Just now.

YouTube has failed me again

If you're aware of the monster Hunter games, you might be aware of pleisoth and it's ridiculous hitbox for it's hipcheck tackle attack.

So are capcom...
To the point that pleisoth in MH stories 2 has a move called "Hyperspace Tackle" where it does a hip check, that doesn't connect with anybody, but releases a massive shockwave which hits your entire party.

It's glorious

You also can't get and train a pleisoth however. Lol. No op fish for you!

(it is a trick question btw. All answers are valid. Even ones not on that list)

I do not know how the word "prohibited" got in there... I did not type that. :/

I wish to draw your attention to the blue book at the centre of this image.
Is this:
A) Drawing, and painting Animals (drawing of all kinds, but painting only animals)
B) Drawing AND painting Animals (artistry of Animals)
C) Drawing AND painting Animals (artistry BY animals)
Or D) Dr Awing, and Painting Animals (a story of the good doctor's prohibited proclivity for decorating animals)

imagining an episode of ST:NG where some kind of wacky event-of-the-week has given the Enterprise's computer a full personality and sentience and it starts getting REALLY sarcastic and passive aggressive with Picard.
"Tea, earl grey, hot."
"Oh thank GOODNESS you clarified, I was about to give you the tea as a block of ice, gosh how stupid of me to think you wouldn't want it HOT, Captain Picard. Just to be clear, you want it hot as in with hot WATER, right? I can never tell with you wacky humans"

COVID-19 vaccination availability seems to have increased across the UK, and anyone over the age of 18 can get one now.

If you haven't gotten yours yet, it would be a really great time to check if you can start.

The UK is getting really close to herd immunity levels, but daily vaccinations are starting to slow down, so if you haven't yet, go here to find a place to get vaccinated:

Okay, so I'm fully aware that a lot of the rubbish that's done in gaming is... exploitative.

But holy wtf, I didn't realise that Roblox was this manipulative. Because I didn't know anything about it *at all*.

And this is definitely something that is manipulating children and teaching them how to exist in an exploitative environment.

Really good info-sheet produced by the World Physiotherapy org about Post-Exertional Symptoms Exacerbation (PESE) in Long Covid. They note that many of the symptoms are similar to those experienced by people with ME/CFS (ime I'd say they're identical). PESE is usually called Post-Exertional Malaise in ME/CFS.

Here's the source, where it's available as PDF (Doesn't look like there's an accessible format I'm afraid):
