parte de la diversidad es aceptar que hay mujeres trans que no pueden o aún no salen del closet 😭😭😭 jax es una gran representación queer y lo autodestructivo que puede ser estar reprimido

Jax is what Goose feels like would have happened if she never transitioned. Once you realize that, her self destructive behavior becomes obvious.
Zohran Mamdani: “City Hall will not back down in the face of federal attacks against trans New Yorkers. The threats will continue and so will our relentless protection of trans people across this city. As a first step, my administration has made a $15M investment in gender affirming care over the next two years and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to ensure that trans and gender non-conforming New Yorkers can live with dignity, safety, and freedom they deserve”

A Brazilian YouTuber killed the Photoshop subscription.
It's called PhotoGIMP. It takes GIMP, the free image editor, and makes it look and feel exactly like Photoshop.
Same toolbar. Same panel layout. Same keyboard shortcuts. Your hands already know how to use it.
Photoshop vs PhotoGIMP:
- Price: $275.88 a year → $0
- Account: Adobe login required → No login, ever
- Files: Saved to Adobe cloud → Saved on your computer
- Updates: Forced when Adobe says → Only when you want
- Works on: Windows and Mac → Windows, Mac, and Linux
No Adobe account. No cloud upload. No AI trained on your photos.
How small is the patch? Tiny.
→ Nine settings files. That's it.
→ Copy them into one folder. Done.
→ Open GIMP. It now looks like Photoshop.
→ Don't like it? Delete the folder. GIMP goes back to normal.
Three steps to install. One command to uninstall.
8,751 stars. 272 forks. 30+ people from around the world helping translate it.
One honest note: the license is GPL-3.0. Free for everything. Personal work, paid client work, your own edits. No "Pro" tier hiding behind it.
Dionatan Simioni runs the biggest Linux YouTube channel in Brazil. He built this from Marau, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul. No VC. No team. No fundraise.
This is what Photoshop should have been from the start.

So last night for my Galaxy Z-Flip 7, I decided to set the lock screen when its folded shut as the Crash Bash loading screen. 🤣
Worked pretty well! Even got the Crash-a-like font working for the clock, but sadly not anywhere else on the phone.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.
Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.
Here's what happened:
Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."
And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.
Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.
The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."
Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.
Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.
Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.
Same playbook with Hanes:
Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."
Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.
But it gets even worse...
Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.
Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.
They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.
The mechanism is simple but terrifying:
If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.
Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."
Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.
Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.
So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.
You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.
"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."
3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.
This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.
And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.
"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
