I'm waiting for you all to start seriously talking about decolonization and reparations.

What does this mean?  Is she using "decolonization" as a metaphor or something or does she literally mean finding where all the black people live and getting all the white people out, and giving them independent sovereignty over the land?  What the fuck is she talking about?

I still can't believe we've gone this long with nobody ever asking her what she exactly she means when she says this stuff.

I think she might seriously mean sending all Black people to Africa and turning it into a massive welfare state funded by all the yt nations.

[Potato]

When nepnep says decolonisation, she means expelling the yts from "black spaces". When she says reparations she means extorting white people for cash like she did when she set up her GoFundMe and ebegged for payment for her emotional labour of being a forum janitor.

[benjipwns]

Constructive:

jumping down a known poc poster's throat over "race baiting" instead of engaging with any kind of actual point relating to the topic and pretty much every other paragraph of that felt pretty hostile to me

The phrase "Race Baiting" - you're right.  That's very true.  Hard to have a positive discussion after throwing that grenade in.

Saying "race baiting" is a 100% rightwing dogwhistle coding.

I like how they've so corrupted this term that they now just outright say that using phrases accurately is a dogwhistle to them, that they're the dogs being whistled to.

The new policy is the result of a nine-month review which included a consultation process with riders and stakeholders, including members of Britain's team, as well as a study of available medical research led by British Cycling's chief medical officer, Dr. Nigel Jones. That research was said to show a clear performance advantage for individuals who go through puberty as a male, and one which cannot be fully mitigated by testosterone suppression

Her point seems to simultaneously be that white people need to stop acting shocked about kids being racist, but also that white people are the only ones who think kids being racist is part of growing up.

Also the way to defuse racial tension is to uhhhh give a big pile of cash to one skin coloured people by making all the other skin coloured people pay for that to compensate for actions none of them personally took.

Hill Reporter for CNN trying to sell parody level access stenography as hard work.

Social media has just created this wild outlet for journalists to self aggrandize about things that look like parody (or TMZ)

This is apparently a House tasked for the debt "negotiations" over the week

So this hard work is just going to be every outlet in Washington running the same quotes uncritically

Like if at least these folks realized they're not heroes I'd feel a bit better.

We are literally in hell

i mean, i can "appreciate" what they do but that's every day capitol hill reporting stuff.

 it'd be like me invoicing work orders at work then tweeting about how i'm doing god's work

Literally anyone who can work a phone and not fall down can do what's in this video.

But yeah the self aggrandizement that irks me here, like us fucking pleebs are supposed to be grateful for whatever this is (essentially stenography)

Trans people were like "please do not buy this thing, it actively harms us." No stores raided or bomb threats delivered, just please don't support this thing.

Wait, the article and email say that the bomb threat was from someone who was angry that Target TOOK DOWN the LGBTQ+ inventory.

So, the answer was to threaten the Target stores with different bomb threats? What does that accomplish?

at the risk of sounding like a right wing nut job, that is the most obvious false flag story ever. there’s no way these threats weren’t from fascists.

User banned (2 weeks): Creating a thread encouraging toxicity towards developers

As we're no doubt aware, the Twitter Apology is a genre of tweet that has become widely adopted from video game publishers this gen. I personally love them. They're almost like love letters, and we have so many of them!

Sure, those love letters are usually from multimillion dollar corporations, and sure, those corporations usually only sent them so that their sales & reputation wouldn't be raked over the coals over issues they definitely knew about before launch before pushing developers to release an unfinished product, but cut them some slack! They're trying to make money over there, like the rest of us! Amirite?

So today, because it's WeekendERA, I thought, these apology letters are so sweet. What if I had to choose between which PR department I'd want to ask out on a blind date - based solely on the communication skills in their apology letters?

If you had to choose from the stack of apology valentines we've gratefully received as gamers, which one is your favorite? Which PR team would you consider asking out on a date based on their communication skills alone? Which one's use of prose & diction would win over your cold heart? Let's have a look at the contenders!

If she wants to pay for a first class ticket for herself she should do that, just leave the kids in coach. Task the oldest to take care of the youngest and leave them be. They're already EXTREMELY privileged to be able to travel enough so that this is a regular occurrence. And y'all spend time with each other on the actual trip.

Get that second first class seat! If husband bitches, tell HIM to have a horrible time with the kids in coach.

It's always interesting to see people that equate large company = completely terrible without any supporting evidence. This is exactly the argument that I'm seeing the administration use.

The problem with ideology and govt overreach is there's probably a large overlap between those who are in favor of the FTC blocking big tech regardless of the law (and the union supporting this deal), and those who were against the former President ignoring the law to pursue his ideology.

Mr. Tom Henderson doesn't have exclusive direct contacts at Sony who are willfully leaking this info about upcoming internal PlayStation Projects such as Project Q and the official earbuds. I understand that Sony PlayStation is hunting down legally the source to Mr. Tom Henderson as well as The Snitch.

The understanding is that Tom Henderson life partner (wife/girlfriend/husband) is a junior/senior employee in the product development & marketing department of PlayStation who is privy to upcoming PlayStation internal projects and off-hand while at home discusses this with Tom Henderson where he reports it as "exclusive insider gaming". He doesn't actually see official trailers or products like how the The Snitch does on YouTube for videos that are set to "private".

Either way, both the The Snitch and Mr. Tom Henderson source of information are being hunted down legally.

LGBTQ+ brand creator 'relieved' after Target pulls his items off shelves due to online backlash

When a Target distributor reached out to Erik Carnell last year about possibly placing his brand, Abprallen, in Target stores, he was thrilled.

It was "the biggest opportunity of my career," Carnell told CNN. "I was ecstatic at the thought of being able to share my stuff with an entirely new market." The London-based Abprallen, described on its Instagram page as "art and accessories for the proud, loud, and colourful," would go from a small startup to a brand available at a major US retailer.

In the following months, Carnell pitched Target and came up with designs that would be appropriate for the big box store, he said. Ultimately, Target started selling three Abprallen items for adults: A sweatshirt, a tote bag and a messenger bag, each emblazoned with a different phrase.

But then things fell apart. About a week and a half ago, Carnell said, he started receiving hundreds of hateful messages including death threats, some of them incorrectly saying the collection was being marketed to children, as some people lashed out at Target over its Pride offerings.

By Wednesday, Target had pulled Abprallen items from its US stores and online market, Reuters reported.

Carnell's immediate reaction was relief.

"The amount of backlash that I have gotten has been overwhelming," he said. "I just hope that this is the beginning of the end of the messages and the onslaught that I'm getting."

But for a small brand, losing access to Target's massive reach is a blow.

"When this has all died down, I'm going to be incredibly disappointed that such a huge opportunity was taken away from me."

"But Carnell understands Target's decision regarding his line.

"I don't know what, other than pulling it, could be done to help protect the retail employees," he said. "Their safety absolutely has to be the top priority."
Click to shrink...

The backlash against Carnell and Abprallen has largely centered around a design that says "Satan respects pronouns." Online, an anti-LGBTQ campaign urged a boycott of Target, showing images of the phrase on an Abprallen T-shirt. On TikTok, a video circulated showing an employee being asked if she supports "satanic Pride propaganda." Carnell has been called a Satanist in the right-wing press.

But that particular design was never available at Target.
