  1. Sony PlayStation no longer wants us to own video games. As I understand, they implied we are only being licensed to the games. Days ago, they emailed users the full Terms of Service or something similar, asserting Sony PlayStation policy. Ok, what's your opinion? Because I very rarely play video games. Plus, I have never owned a console.

  2. My Ko-Fi funds will be released to me between 2nd and 12th September or later, instead of today. When I try to appeal, I may receive a message like: "You have agreed to our policies." I think we are living in a silent pandemic, which is a lack of conscience.

  3. I think fiat money forced me to believe in them. If I don't hustle or ask for some financial aid, it means no money. If I don't have money, I can't buy food. If I can't buy food, it means involuntary fasting, and what's worse—being hungry, and even worse: a mind overwhelmed with hunger that causes trouble, which in turn causes further trouble.

  4. Oh, fantastic! Another groundbreaking article about "rotation via double reflection" that nobody asked for. 🙄 Just what we needed—an existential deep dive into geometry's most irrelevant corner. 🔍 Because clearly, the world can't rotate without it! 🌍✨

  5. 🚀 Oh joy, another Seth Godin post that reads like a shopping list for his content empire. 📚 Why discuss the complexities of the Amazon tax when you can drown in self-promotion instead? 🙄

  6. Ah, the classic "let's cram a book into a 'cheatsheet' and hope you don't notice" trick. 🙄 Just what we all need, another #Python resource promising to be 'definitive' while really just trying to sell you an O'Reilly book and a plane ticket to Houston. ✈️📖

  7. Oh joy, another article trying to convince us that #AI #models are *intentionally* getting dumber. 🙄🤖 Of course, #reasoning scores are skyrocketing while #computation is plummeting, because who cares about facts when you can just throw random numbers and acronyms at us like a malfunctioning TI-84? 🤯✍️

  8. I came to Norman Fairclough late, and by accident. A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis was printed without a single reference to critical discourse analysis, which in retrospect looks less like restraint than like a gap in my reading.

  9. A genre of published media that falls somewhere in the uncanny valley between genuine creative works and critique-slash-analysis.

  10. We change the tide in our town and it reverberates out, do what you can in your place i promise showing up #local and engaging #localcommunity in agency building tasks is the catalyze-- remind people around you they have power and show them in your actions they will follow

    I work in local outreach , people are dying to understand their land and feel empowered as stewards instead of passive consumers. This is job security

  11. Une critique du jeu de rôle traditionnel (D&D en l'occurence) comme un exemple d'extractivisme colonialiste. C'est vraiment bien vu, et très intéressant. ptgptb.fr/le-donjon-par-defaut #jdr #critique #colonialisme #extraction

  12. Foucault et le canon comme pouvoir

    Le canon n’est jamais une simple liste neutre d’œuvres “importantes”. Avec Foucault, on peut le lire comme un dispositif de pouvoir-savoir : il sélectionne, hiérarchise, autorise et exclut, tout en faisant passer ces choix pour naturels. #Foucault #Canon #Pouvoir #Savoir #Critique Penser le canon avec Foucault, c’est refuser l’idée qu’il s’agirait d’un simple inventaire objectif des œuvres qui “comptent”. Le canon est plutôt un…

  13. Contre le “socialisme moral” : liberté réelle, critique du marché et démocratie des producteurs

    Le “socialisme moral” de Lea Ypi veut sauver la liberté des Lumières contre le capitalisme et le socialisme d’État. Mais le mot “moral” pose problème : la liberté ne se moralise pas, elle se conquiert dans les rapports sociaux, le travail, la démocratie et le contrôle des moyens de production. #Socialism #Spinoza #Marx #Democracy #Critique Le projet de Lea Ypi a une vraie…

  14. 🤔 Oh, look! Another groundbreaking article that strings together random words like "viceaslegalbeastresolve" to reveal how English teaching has changed—wait, what? 🧐 Clearly, someone missed the memo on how #coherence works. 📚💡

  15. 🤔 Did someone really think "Maze Toys" was a groundbreaking concept in 2023? 🕳️ "Get lost without stress" is the sales pitch, but let's be honest, it's just another way to be frustrated while procrastinating. 🧩 And let's not even talk about the "Faultless" mode—because who doesn't want a game that makes you feel like a failure every 5 seconds? 🚫🌽
