Had this idea in my head for a while to do a smoke bomb photoshoot because 2020 is basically the year everything went up in smoke. 💥💣

The Phantom Thieves have a message for @PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino :
To Hideaki Nishino,
President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment
You seek to steal the freedom of choice from players by pushing a future where games exist only in the digital world.
You believe ownership is unnecessary, and that memories can be locked behind licenses and servers.
That distortion will not go unchallenged.
We will steal the Treasure that fuels your greed and return the power of choice to the players.
Prepare yourself.
We are coming.
From,
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts
Imagine announcing you’re going fully digital and while the world still hates you for it, your platform goes down for hours… rendering all digital games useless 😭
PlayStation Network is down again for millions of users, and people can’t play their license-purchased games.
Players around the world are reporting they can’t sign in, play online, access the PlayStation Store, or use other PSN features.
This is the future PlayStation is pushing: once servers are down or have problems, all your games will be useless.
Zohran Mamdani: “When it comes to Palestinian New Yorkers who are disappointed, I understand it. We are talking about someone who has been charged with crimes against humanity. Someone who has visited this city on many an occasion and who has been welcomed by previous mayors. I want to make it very clear that welcome ends with me. I will not be welcoming Benjamin Netanyahu or any other war criminals when they come to this city”
This is getting massive 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 4:00 PM: "Zohran Mamdani can't arrest Netanyahu under my presidency."
🇺🇸Mamdani at 4:05 PM: "This is about accountability. 73,000 dead. Children maimed. Hospitals bombed. Journalists and aid workers killed."
"The ICC issued a warrant. I support it. I cannot arrest him. Washington can. So I’m calling on the federal government to act." 🔥🔥
"And let me be clear: New York City will not welcome war criminals. New York will defend human dignity at any cost." 👏🔥
What a courage 👏. He refuses to bow down 🔥💪
Just to put a context to this stupid narrative; a game that sold 1.8M copies in physical (i.e. Resident Evil Requiem) is considered “more than 100K”
Media has been manipulating the truth like this for years to change public opinion, and unfortunately, they still succeed!
Oh fuck you. FUCK you. You don't get to do this now. You don't get to turn around and go "Oopsie poopsie, we made a mistake!" This was YOUR genocide, motherfuckers. YOURS. You chose it. You own it. Forever. The stench of the rotting corpses in Gaza will follow you for all time.
Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

Kevin: Did you have any kids?
Bird Lady: No. Oh, l wanted them. But the man I loved fell out of love with me. That broke my heart. And whenever the chance to be loved came along again, I ran away from it. I stopped trusting people.
Kevin: No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do.
Bird Lady: I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. You see, sometimes you can trust a person, and then, when things are down, they forget about you.
Kevin: Maybe they're just too busy. Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you. l don't think people mean to forget. l think it just happens.
Bird Lady: I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken again.
Kevin: I understand that. l used to have this really nice pair of rollerblades. l was afraid if l wore them, l'd wreck them. So l kept them in a box. Do you know what happened?
Bird Lady: No.
Kevin: I outgrew them. I never wore them once outside. l just wore them in my room a couple times.
Bird Lady: A person's heart and a person's feelings are very different than skates.
Kevin: Well, they're kind of the same thing. lf you aren't going to use your heart, then what's the difference if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose.
Bird Lady: A bit of truth in there somewhere.
Rest in peace, Brenda Fricker (1945-2026) 🕊️

🚨 Si cela se confirme, la contestation commence à toucher @Sony là où ça fait vraiment mal « son image auprès des éditeurs ».
Certains studios paieraient plusieurs milliers d’euros pour obtenir un créneau promotionnel précis sur les réseaux PlayStation. Mais aujourd’hui, leurs annonces se retrouvent noyées sous les critiques visant la politique de Sony.
Imaginez payer une fortune pour promouvoir votre jeu… et voir votre campagne engloutie par la colère des joueurs contre la disparition du support physique.
Continuons donc à faire entendre notre voix, fermement, sans attaquer les développeurs, ils ne sont pas responsables de cette décision.
@PlayStation doit comprendre que le silence a désormais un coût. ✊💿
