Concerning the Mage, hexcorization, and Jayce’s actions in Arcane S2:

Jayce was sent back from the future on a mission to secure the best possible outcome for Arcane’s timeline. This goal required a series of specific events that he was given instructions to enable. 🧵

I never read the book (I'm going through the audiobook now) so I didn't know the key point about cowardice. When I knew, I realised the movie has never once mentioned that word, only "who to be brave for" and so
"Who would you die for?"

While I was checking our messages today I noticed a private message from a former ZOS employee, reaching out to us to thank us for everything we do, and to say they used our site everyday.

On the same day they were laid off they took the time to reach out to us, because they truly cared about The Elder Scrolls. I personally know the same is true for many other names on that list. These weren't empty suits forwarding emails from one layers of managers to the other.

Just look at their job titles, a lot of them were clearly involved very heavily with game projects.

I can’t believe how little this is being talked about.

@zei_squirrel It’s not just 224(which is now 219) but multiple sections!

Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.

They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.

Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.

Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.

Genuinely insane stuff. The law will require the pentagon to make itself dependent on Israel. Israeli tech, Israeli AI systems etc will be integrated into all the highest classification functions of the US military. They lost the public opinion war so now they’re going to set it up so any future anti-Israel president will be deposed in a military coup

These bills aimed at broad regulation and control of the internet are far from unstoppable.

That's why we need to keep up the pressure because just saying "they'll pass anyway" and doing nothing to stop them is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don't give up!

The internet might be over.

I am not talking about the corporate, ad-filled internet. I mean the real one. The one you use to talk with your friends, find niche communities, and freely share ideas. The way you access and interact with the digital world is about to change forever if we don't speak up right now.

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the KIDS Act. Do not let the well-intentioned name fool you. This massive legislative package is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that could potentially cause an unfathomable amount of damage to the privacy, security, and free speech of every single citizen in the United States.

Major civil liberties and digital rights organizations, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) are sounding the alarm. This bill is a massive over-reach of legislation designed to curtail your freedoms, everyones.

Under this bill, websites and apps will be pressured to verify the age of all users to avoid massive legal liability. This creates a de facto age-verification mandate, meaning you could soon be forced to upload government IDs, passports, or hand over biometric facial scans just to use standard apps or browse everyday websites. Forcing every corner of the web to collect and store these massive databases of citizen identity documents is an absolute cybersecurity nightmare waiting to happen, creating a golden target for hackers and data leaks.

The bill also takes direct aim at standard privacy features like disappearing or ephemeral messaging, treating basic digital privacy tools like dangerous design tricks rather than the digital equivalent of a private, real-world conversation. By weaponizing broad, vague definitions of "harmful content," the package pressures tech platforms to heavily over-censor completely lawful speech out of fear of massive government lawsuits. It risks sanitizing the internet and shutting down vital spaces for free expression and open communication.

This won't stop at signing up for websites, or chat apps. It will extend to artwork websites, multimedia hubs like Newgrounds, Music sites, even Reddit and 4chan will be subjected to this, and while you might think it's well deserved, you won't be saying that when they start asking users to verify their age on Mangadex or doujinshi sites, or on Itch io. Going to websites outside the US would be scrutinized if it doesn't follow the same criteria.

VPNs? Forget it, they'll try to outlaw those, too.

We all want children to be safe, but turning the entire internet into an Orwellian surveillance state where you have to show papers just to log on is a terrifying overreach. The bill has passed the House, which means the battleground is officially moving to the Senate. We cannot afford to sit this one out. This is a slippery slope and we must not give them this power over all of us.
