In other news two tourists got arrested for fucking about in a monkey exhibit in a Japanese zoo, this zoo's monkeys exhibit being known for their baby monkey named punch. Basically punch the monkey is the new "aww, cute zoo animal" like moodeng or the fluffy penguin, why is punch so popular, because he got mollywhopped by another monkey and then ran to his emotional support orangutan plushie.
Aw man I feel bad for the monkey. I hope he bonds well with someone in the pack and that the adult that beat him around gets eternally cucked and cockblocked.

A bit of interesting news for us old farts who remember when Vice was actually good; Shane Smith, the guy behind some of Vice's most iconic videos, such as their North Korea or Liberia documentaries, is back out in the field and doing actual journalism again.
He's in Iran right now, going to different bomb sites and livestreaming the whole thing on Kick. Within minutes of going live for the first time, he was stopped by the Iranian secret police.
Fatrick finally finished his balcony, while severely out of breath. I'm not a builder, but even I can see how poorly he built it with how the railings are angled. 9012137-94326b7e55c971c05052d020da1a8d37.mp4
He appears to have just directly installed a floor onto his sloped roof sheating. The bottom railing also doesn't appear to be level or square to anything ( it's probably a pick one situation).
It's almost certainly going to fuck up his house, I hope to God that isn't a cantilevered window overhang or porch cover. (I'm pretty sure it is)

Disco Elysium started as a book which did not sell well due to being Estonian and extremely dense. The author started a communist dadaist art group called ZA/UM, and reused the novel to make a video game. While they were in the commune making the game they were getting bankrolled by someone using the video game to launder money, the plan being that if the game broke even or even lost money, it still laundered the money. It's unclear whether or not the art group realized this at the time.
When the game came out and blew up, the first thing the art group wanted to do was actually finish the game: the original release was even more jank than the version Josh played and would cripple a reasonable computer because of how terribly optimized it was, and the voice acting was only the first paragraph or two of dialog for any given character. They also added a side quest for each political stance.
After that, the owner wanted them to stop spending the profit on making the game better, and everyone sued each other.
The people at ZA/UM are now scattered across new companies:
Red Info Ltd. is where the original author and main artist ended up, plus one more author. Rumor is that Chris Avellone (New Vegas) may also be working there. They do not have any rights to anything Disco Elysium. To my knowledge, the only public info on what they may or may not be working on is that they filed for a trademark for a name. I think fans of Disco Elysium are mostly excited about this one.
Dark Math Games has the producer and publisher. They've got a game in development, "Tangerine Antartic," that seems like it might be the same sort of game but scifi, and I think at one point it was supposed to be pornographic. I don't think anyone has any animosity towards them, but I also don't think anyone is looking forward to what they do.
Summer Eternal has two of the original writers, one writer that was hired to write on the Cuno spinoff game that got canceled when the company exploded, the sound designer, a graphic designer. The voice actor that does the internal monologue voices in Disco Elysium is working with them under contract. My understanding is that this is essentially the art collective minus the original author and artist. They're also working on an RPG to be announced this summer via some sort of artbook and vinyl record or something. This is the other company with good will from fans.
Longdue Games has an editor and one minor dev. They also contracted the same voice actor. They have a game called "Hopetown" in development with "from creators of Disco Elysium" plastered all over it. Reddit hates them, but I think mostly over reddit janny drama or something.
ZA/UM is still around, and has basically everyone not mentioned above, including the Executive Producer, the money launderer guy who is the accountant and legal team, a couple of artists, an editor, and the voice actor director. This is the team that still owns the Disco Elysium IP, and so far they've made an Android port of Disco Elysium and Zero Parades. No one likes this company, to the point where most of the fandom encourages pirating the game as opposed to paying ZA/UM.
The real sequel to Disco Elysium as far as I'm concerned is trying to follow what happened to ZA/UM, the surrounding civil and criminal lawsuits, the documentaries clearly biased in different directions, etc.
I've been catching up with the vods, and getting to this part made me so happy. >be christian right in the US (and also Europe)
>team up with pro-White nationalists because common greater threat
>get some momentum initially with Trump election and Brexit
>Support within base sways further and further towards nationalist side and less to christian/religious side
>fear that either victories could be on racial terms rather than religious terms or that precious jew-erinos could be at risk
>immediately turn around and shit on the pro-White nationalists,
help left and feds shut down their rallies,
withhold any support when they're in trouble
watch idly as they're turned into political prisoners by a corrupt judicial system, or even defend it
condemn them at every opportunity and publicly endorse shutting down their speech
deliberately sow fear of infiltration to scare people into not joining their groups
>momentum of the right dries up, Trump gets absolutely fucking nothing done
>fast forward
>2020 election gets 'fortified', any of you who protest it are imprisoned and held as political prisoners for literal years
>fast forward 4 more years
>jewish NGOs are solidifying 'christian nationalism' as part of the 'antisemitism' umbrella that they can sue you for
>the very same jews you shot yourself in the foot to protect are showing their gratitude...
>by devoting their resources to completely and utterly destroying you to the best of their ability Pure and delicious fucking karma. Years of these smarmy faggots condescending to the pro-Whites on imageboards, acting like they're above it all, like betraying their own race and its supporters was somehow noble or even a good idea and the very 'spiritual' forces they threw in with are now twisting that fucking knife.
Suffer christcucks, I hope it hurts. Shouldn't have stabbed the pro-Whites in the back.
There was a time when they could have prevented this, but at the time, they decided they'd rather try to appease the left (which you now know was never going to happen) and lose, than win on secular right-wing terms.
Whenever stuff like this happens, I feel the same way Josh does whenever Matthew Prince gets fucked over.
This seem to be a common ocurrence with Christcucks and Cucktholics where they betray their own people for literally no gain other than a faint hope that they are allowed to still worship their jews. For example one of the major groups that always insisted to not fight and instead take it in the ass was the churches, even going as far as to help the Chavista regime for no reason other than fear that they too would be persecuted, so a lot of the normie cattle and boomers left those actually willing to fight alone to be captured and tortured while they emphasized muh simbolic victories, muh religion and praying them away while everything became progressively worse and everyone kept doing nothing and those that wanted to help either got killed after being ratted out or outright left because there was no hope as people insisted on muh simbolic victories and prayings killing any momentum.
It seems they are content living in a niggerfied comunist hellhole as long as they are allowed to do what they do, it really soured my opinion on these sects (even though i agree with the commandments and morals), and everytime someone tries to explain to me why thats not the case citing the bible it just comes across as cope to me, the purpose of a religion is what it does and what is doing is servitude and inaction.

An Apology: Rethinking Our Mature Content Guidelines

An Apology: Rethinking Our Mature Content Guidelines
Last week, we released a set of updates to our rules around mature content. It was our first time publishing a set of detailed, specific guidelines for adult-oriented content on Kickstarter. And honestly? We botched it. The rules didn't land the way we intended, and the response from our community let us know loud and clear that we got it wrong.
Our goal with these updates was to give creators more clarity upfront so they could make informed decisions about their projects before launch. The actual impact was the opposite for some. More confusion, more uncertainty, and real fear that a platform that you have counted on to provide space for your creative expression was turning its back on you.
You deserve better. So, we’re going back to the drawing board, and yes, that means we’re going back to our previous rules.
First, we owe you a clearer explanation of what happened.
Why we created the new mature content policy
The updates to the rules were primarily driven by requirements from our payments processor, Stripe. Stripe operates under its own legal and compliance requirements separate from Kickstarter’s own rules. And even Stripe’s rules are dictated by a larger system shaped by financial institutions that govern how money moves globally. Under this system, many platforms – including other crowdfunding and creator monetization platforms – struggle with how to create space for mature content while getting the creators of that work paid without friction.
And that’s what we were running up against. Over the past several months, we've seen a growing number of campaigns that had already been approved by Kickstarter get suspended by Stripe mid-funding. When that happens, it's devastating. A creator's project can be frozen with funds in limbo, sometimes weeks into a campaign they've spent months, or even years, building.
Whenever that happened, we advocated for those creators directly with Stripe, and in some cases, we were able to get mid-campaign enforcement reversed so creators could finish their campaigns. We fought those battles because we believe in the work and because creators deserve to see their campaigns through.
We recognized, though, that enforcement against Kickstarter-approved campaigns would continue, and that meant there could be more cases where our advocacy for creators wouldn’t result in the reversal of a suspension.
Faced with the realization that creators would continue getting caught in the gap between our rules and Stripe’s, we thought that the best path forward was to close the gap, giving creators one set of rules to work within, versus having to navigate two different policy philosophies.
That was the intent, but the decision we made was an abandonment of the core counterculture, f*ck the establishment spirit of Kickstarter, and it left our community vulnerable.
What we’re doing now
The decision we made wasn’t the right one, and in an attempt to create rules that could work across both Kickstarter and Stripe, we rolled out something that was too restrictive and too far removed from what we actually believe.
So what are we doing now? We are removing the new mature content guidelines and reverting back to our previous guidelines, which prohibit pornography and illegal content. This rule is bare bones and not as specific as we’d like it to be, but it does mean that certain content – like child sexual exploitation and abuse material, for example – remains prohibited. Those lines don’t move.
This isn’t the easiest route. It means that at any point, whether that’s before launch, while a campaign is live, or after it ends, while a creator is still collecting pledges made via Pledge Over Time or Late Pledges, Stripe can still suspend a campaign that Kickstarter has approved. That's the reality of operating within a payment system we don't fully control. When that happens, we will advocate for you as we have been, and we’ll do our best to help you understand what adjustments you need to make to your project to make it supportable by Stripe, but we can't guarantee the outcome. To help creators understand what Stripe allows, we’re adding a note about their policies and a link to their guidelines to our rules page, so you have full visibility into the broader landscape of rules you’re operating in before you launch. We’ve also put together this guide to help creators understand common review triggers and make informed decisions about how they present mature content publicly on Kickstarter to reduce the risk of disruption.
Though this route is an imperfect temporary solution, it allows us to stand in what we believe in and use the space between our rules and Stripe’s rules to keep fighting for creators. That means continuing to push Stripe for flexibility, clarity, and consistency, working to carve out exceptions where we can, and finding solutions that don’t leave creators feeling censored before they’ve even launched.
We could have done this better. We’re going to keep working to earn back your trust, and we’ll keep creating the space that bold, boundary-pushing creative work deserves.

UN experts alarmed by complicity of online pornographic platforms and other intermediaries in sexual exploitation of women and girls

UN expert welcomes International Olympic Committee policy protecting female categories in sport
GENEVA – UN experts* today raised the alarm over the large-scale sexual exploitation of women and girls facilitated and monetised by Pornhub and its parent company Aylo Holdings, as well as the role of payment networks, and search engines.
The experts stressed that businesses cannot evade responsibilities for being complicit in human rights violations and providing available tools to direct perpetrators. “A red line must be drawn,” the experts said. “Systems that facilitate and profit from the sexual exploitation of women and girls cannot merely be regulated at the margins, they must be fundamentally confronted.”
They urged the Governments of the United States and Canada to fully prosecute Aylo and require third-party age and consent verification for all user-generated pornography sites. While no response was received from the Government of the United States, in its response, the Government of Canada acknowledged the need to “modernize the private sector privacy law” and to enact legislation that would hold social media service providers accountable for harmful content.
“We are concerned that the abuse reflects a broader pattern on platforms such as Xvideos and X.com, which allow user-generated pornography without reliable age or consent verification,” the experts said. “Exploitation is further enabled through platform monetisation and the continued involvement of payment networks and search engines.”
The experts raised concern over the burden placed on victims to remove non-consensual content, which often remained online despite repeated reports and effort, shifting responsibility onto victims. “This creates a system in which victims are forced to chase their own abuse. They are constantly retraumatised and, even many years after the initial abuse while abusive material continues circulating,” they said.
“There is an urgent need for States to impose binding measures on Pornhub and other digital platforms distributing pornography,” the experts said. Such measures include mandatory, third-party age and consent verification, including for all individuals depicted; rigorous monitoring and moderation modalities and the duty to remove violent and abusive images of children and of adults, particularly where they have not consented.
The experts noted positive steps taken by Aylo, while noting that these changes would not have been made without victims raising their voices and pursuing legal action in reference to the over 25 lawsuits and action by the US Federal Trade Commission. “Collectively, these actions led Pornhub to take down the majority of its content library since 2020, amounting to over 50 million unverified images and videos. Aylo's response makes clear that the company cannot credibly dispute its longstanding conduct in globally distributing and monetising the traumatic exploitation of victims on Pornhub.”
Recalling the deferred prosecution agreement of December 2023, the experts expressed concern over the United States Government’s failure to pursue full criminal accountability against Aylo, warning this risks reinforcing corporate impunity for large-scale online sexual exploitation. In December 2023, U.S. prosecutors reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Aylo, under which Aylo agreed to pay financial penalties and compensation to selected victims and accept external monitoring for three years. If it complies, the charges will be dismissed in 2026, and no conviction will be entered.
“The contrast is stark: individuals are imprisoned for trafficking, whilst the corporate entity that enabled and knowingly profited from the criminal enterprise on a large scale avoids conviction,” they said.
The experts have raised these issues with Aylo Holdings and the Governments of the United States, the country of nationality of the two victims, and of Canada, where the headquarters of Aylo Holdings is located. They have also been in communication with the financial networks previously used to pay for content on Pornhub, such as Mastercard and Visa, as well as the internet companies that drive website traffic to Pornhub, such as Google LLC, Meta, and Microsoft Corporation.
Pure and delicious fucking karma.

Which side are the majority of atheists on? That’s the problem with Wignats you shit all over the majority of whites and believe in some imaginary future that isn’t the case
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Amazing Digital Circus. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Psychology most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Caine's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Harlan Ellison literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The Amazing Digital Circus truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Pomni's existencial catchphrase ""When did I ever say anything about that?"," which itself is a cryptic reference to Do Androids dream of eletric sheeps? I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Gooseworx genius unfolds itself on their monitor screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Jax tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' and femboys eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
