Planet Ripple Vol 10 is out! This one is a milestone. Many characters' stories converge here to answer long-lingering questions about Minnow and this world, and ask new ones. It's been cathartic to work on, and I can say with confidence it's the best entry yet. Links below!
It's eugenics to advocate for the extermination of people at the genetic level
i actually am disabled like that and if i couldve been born not disabled i wouldve taken that opportunity in a heartbeat. its ableist to force disabled people to just "be ok" with being disabled, when society refuses to accommodate disabled people
Today, an 11 year old boy on the island brought me two free lobsters from his own cages & boat (father is a fisherman) because he only started to like reading when he read my Minecraft book. My god, life can be so gracious sometimes. It beggars you.
Reminder: Proton VPN is free Death Stranding photo mode is very realistic. Do not give them your ID or you will be put on a list and your habits and political views, even the SFW ones, will be tracked and used against you.
The Kids Online Safety Act is the US equivalent of the EU's Digital Services Act and UK's Online Safety Act. If passed, it will lead to digital identity, total deanonymization of the internet, and massive censorship. It was reintroduced to Congress May 2025.
"just use VPN" i shouldn't have to pay a subscription to not have to upload my ID to every site I use 😐
THE US IS TRYING TO PASS A CENSORSHIP LAW SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN THE UK ‼️ It allows the government to censor anything they want to online This includes LGBT, adult content, etc Speak up about this and call your local representatives / senators!!! We cannot let this pass.
“Razor blade throat variant” being aptly named 🫠
😩I am hearing that people are losing their voices with the current Cövid variant going around. Anyone else heard this? Lots of hoarse voices too .
“The Left’s crime is usually just being correct too early” is an adage for a reason
Another instance of the left being principled and correct from the beginning only for liberals to inevitably come to the same conclusion years too late and not a single one will admit they were wrong
Very grateful to live in a time where we have this technology. It wasn’t long ago that there weren’t any good options at all for protecting yourself against airborne particulates like pollution and viruses!
The astounding physics of N-95 masks. youtube.com/watch?v=eAdanP…
Test audiences not wanting this scene and thinking it's "too dumb" is the reason this movie was so needed in a time like this. The fact that saving a life, any life, is seen as corny is why we need Superman right now.
I smile every time I see superman save that squirrel

Korra absolutely deserves love always has, always will.
starts with K and we all love it
Were they freaks or does this prove our ancestors were sexually fluid & heteronormativity is a new thing?
our ancestors were some FREAKS
Insanity. The free press dying in front of our eyes in Trump’s first six months. Even folks like me saying we were about to get fascism didn’t expect it to happen this blatantly, this quickly, and with so little outcry of resistance from Dems, liberals, and leftists.
Trump's FCC Chair says he will put a "bias monitor" in place who will "report directly" to Trump as part of the deal for Sky Dance to acquire CBS
There's a clear reason why they're targeting Wikipedia. It's one of the last bastions of the promise the web once held to be a great equaliser, putting easy access to information in the hands of the masses, and there's nothing those in power fear more than an informed public.
Under the new law, the UK media regulator Ofcom is poised to label Wikipedia as a “Category 1” platform. This would impose the strictest content rules possible - such as: - age verification for users - identity verification for contributors - censorship of ‘harmful’ topics.
i hate how disney ruined copyright just to cling to mickey mouse yet they dont do anything interesting with him and he isnt even explicitly theirs anymore anyway
Looking at it that way this image is 10x funnier now
everyone always interprets this as mario getting friendzoned but what if it’s the other way around. peach keeps inviting him over and kissing him on the nose and getting kidnapped so that he’ll save her but he’s just a genuinely good guy and doesn’t realize she wants him
most disturbing part of the “good genes” ad is that some sorta advertising agency figured the “nazi dogwhistle friendly” market was sizable and youthful enough to be worth attempting to tap into
I don’t think it’s good for the nervous system to be under constant threat of someone maybe deciding to take a sneaky photo or video and then post it online for the whole world to mock you
mom is telling people that i do art and shes asking for my socials
