The image features a scene from a movie or TV show, showing a bald man with glasses, wearing a brown plaid shirt, sitting at a table with two red glasses in front of him. He is looking slightly to his left, with a serious expression on his face. The background includes a window with a view of a hilly landscape, and another person is partially visible in the background. The text overlay at the top of the image reads: "When one of your player's gives you a backstory that is literally just poorly disguised smut about their fetish."

⚠️Black women lost 38,000 jobs in April, the most of any group. Economists say this sharp rise is tied to the administration's anti-DEI agenda. Black women are sadly paying the price. This is more than just policy — it’s harm.

Scottish Government officials have ignored public outrage and expert opinion to grant permission for Flamingo Land to build their mega-resort at Loch Lomond.
155,000 of you objected to their plans, making it the most objected to planning application in Scottish history.
But it's not over yet!
Now we need as many people as possible to write to the Scottish Government and tell them to change this decision.

Am 16. Mai 1944 erhoben sich sich die Häftlinge des Z…lagers in Auschwitz. Sie bewaffneten sich mit Steinen und verbarrikadierten sich in den Baracken. Die SS sah sich gezwungen, wieder abzuziehen. Der Aufstand der Sinti* und Roma* verzögerte die Liquidation des Lagers für mehrere Wochen.

in reply to Joel • • •Back in the '90s I had this giant tome I got from Barnes & Noble that was a supposed "Internet Phone Book."
It was a neat idea—especially since search engines were still figuring things out back then—but a bunch of the sites were already gone and it was sort of a mess.
I do think we need to get back to the days of the '90s where personal websites would all have a page dedicated to links just to help other people find cool content.
