hey guys, maybe before you pirate LEARN SOME ETIQUETTE
why are these important? well, if you openly share the sites, they wil get shut down. corporations are willing to copyright strike anything. you are only going to make accessing these resources harder.
remember: LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS
if you want to share resources, don't post them on public forums like tumblr, twitter,instagram or any popular site. remember how zlibrary shut down? yall want that to happen to more sites? do you?
also like if they get shut down, people who can't access these otherwise because they don't have the means for it or its banned in their country are losing access.
Don't post links online. Only share in private conversations.
try and avoid linking the sites directly. a workaround is sharing the downloaded files via other file hosting sites similar to google drive and drop box
DON'T SHARE ON PUBLIC FORUMS. EVER. PLEASE
Use a VPN. i personally like proton vpn, it is a freemium model but the free version works fine.
These are just the basics, there are others but please keep these in mind.

The time has come. Voltron is leaving Netflix. Netflix Originals are not safe e.g. Arcane. Only pirates can save us now.
I've talked about it in a previous post but Voltron, the netflix original, is leaving netflix tomorrow. I'm fucking devastated.
I feel like I'm not seeing enough people freaking out about this, at least on tumblr. Some are even celebrating it. Nevermind the fact that, whatever you opinions on VLD, it's stilll the hard work of tons of people, and that this is a symptom of corporate greeed, and also shows that other "netflix originals" are not safe from this. I feel the need to mention Arcane since it recently finished. Those that show have any DVD releases? what will happen to that show if the contracts with league of legends expires?
Really should have taken the time to rewatch the show when I first made that post a couple of months ago. I just got busy with life and I suppose I hoped that something could be done. Or at least more DVD releases would happen. This is so unfair. I am geniunely devastated. This show still has much to offer and a lot of good in it even if it's flawed. I hope other fandoms will take this as a warning and pirate as much as they can.

The Internet Archive is under attack by corporations seeking to wrest more and more of our fair use rights, our public spaces and our communities from the public good. The Archive was recently forced into a settlement for scanning and digitizing legally purchased books. They are now facing a $325 million lawsuit for accepting donations of old 78 RPM historical music records that were digitized by volunteers. The goal is not only to stop the distribution of these works, but to create new legal precedents that make it illegal to preserve or archive for any reason. This will have a significant impact on our culture, our communities, and our future
Here is how you can help them
1. Use The Internet Archive Site
2. Save websites via "Save Page Now" browser tool
3. Become a patron to get a free "library card"
4. Curate & Upload to the Archive
5. Tell People That the Internet Archive Exists
6. Browse The Many, Many Collections
7. Take care of yourself and the people you care about
(Link will take you to a blog article that goes into these suggestions in detail)

Hello Guild Wars 2 community! A new poll has dropped! 🐦‍⬛
Tumblr media
(At least, hopefully new, lol.) I'm curious, which blessing did your Commander get on their first/canon go through the Raven Sanctum in the story mission "The Invitation?" Choose and tell me in the tags why they made their specific decisions :)
Compiled explanations from the wiki below for ease of access:
The trial choices in order:
Save the wounded man or save the healers
Save the spell tome or save the historical record
Save the queen or save the prince
Blessings:
Blessing of Daybreak
"When the fear of beastly claws and a child's pain is made sharp by the knowledge of elders, we make no mistakes. But do we grow?"
Healers -> historical record -> prince
Grace of Dawn
"When wisdom is favored in all things—a healing hand, a text of old, a beloved queen—we lose the sharpened sword of the truly bold."
Healers -> historical record -> queen
Consecration of Morning
"We seek to destroy monsters with sharp claws and icy breath, but do we protect ourselves from the beasts shaped like us, who prey on the young and vulnerable, who seek to rule us?"
Healers -> spell tome -> prince
Invocation of Midday
"When we flee from the things we fear most - the teeth of beasts, the storm of a dragon, a change of power-we risk running backward."
Healers -> spell tome -> queen
Supplication of Midday
"We favor the skill of healers and the wisdom of elders over the uncertainty of the future. But the young take chances, and the young push us forward."
Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince
Consecration of Evening
"We long for the comfort of a healing touch, an ancestral word of wisdom, a leader we know and trust. But comfort is fleeting, and with it comes inertia."
Wounded man -> historical record -> queen
Grace of Dusk
"We sacrifice so much—safety from the claws of death, knowledge of the ages, a steadfast reign—to propel ourselves forward. But if we move too fast, do we risk the inability to stop?"
Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince
Blessing of Twilight
"We try so hard to do the right thing. We heal, we protect our people, we preserve stability. But we cannot control how the winds of fate may shift, and a tight grip can sometimes hurt more than it helps."
Wounded man -> spell tome -> queen
#guild wars 2#gw2#icebrood saga#the invitation#raven sanctum#gw2 ask game#ask game#dash game#character poll#gw2 commander#ibs spoilers#As for mine: Invocation of Midday because Mael values a winning hand by any means necessary. Making choices where the few may have to die so#that more survive in saving the healers#valuing the present victory in saving the spell tome since forgoing the present war will only mean there is no future to preserve#and saving the queen because an immature heir is worse than a stranger hopefully elected by the people#In my personal hc of this mission Raven specifically takes note of how ruthless his answers were and asks if he'd really do anything to#secure a winning hand. From letting the wounded man die for the sake of the healers to letting a child heir die to preserve a nation. It's a#trick question as everything is with Raven but he finally answers Yes. To which Raven comments#''Of course you would. You were even willing to sell your soul.''#This wreaks some havoc on party dynamics because nobody present knew the true extent of what Mael had to do to bring himself back to life :)#Whether his soul will actually be unable to pass on into the Mists... I shall see. But it makes for good thinking. and possible plot hook#for the party coming together to save him from his own doomed magic#Furthermore: Fuel for Rytlock angst because now he has real reason to think Mael would Not Hesitate and kill Ryland. And that he is lying#This doubt of Rytlock's (and Crecia's) Jormag of course capitalizes on#commander's musings

Tips for finding free definitely totally not illegal streaming sites, because fuck capitalism.
Use a private browser app like Tor browser, or a search engine like DuckDuckGo, you are more likely to find results that way.
Look for websites ending in things that aren't .com, for example, .tv, .to, etc.
Have multiple written down, as you might not be able to find the same one again by just googling.
As well as them being easy to access, having multiple written down will help you if one of the sites you are using gets shut down, which happens a lot.
Research good sites on reddit, tumblr, etc. you won't find the best ones by just googling.
HAPPY (totally not illegal) STREAMING!!
post more tips in the comments if you have them!!!

"Oh, man, how did the corpos find out about my favorite pirate site?"
I dunno, maybe it's because you wouldn't shut up about your favorite pirate sites on social media?
What? You think these big name companies aren't constantly scouring the internet looking for pirate and torrent sites to take down?
It's not a coincidence that a bunch of prominent pirate sites are getting taken down in rapid succession.
If you want to pirate something, you better do it discreetly.

found 'the way' a really interesting piece of speculative fiction exploring the idea of anti-migrant xenophobic violence being turned inwards towards 'legitimate citizens' when interests of capital are threatened by struggle, but this sequence in the last episode def stood out to me as a neoluddite.
feels connected to this quote from dan mcquillan's 'resisting ai - an anti-fascist approach to artificial intelligence':
Bergson argued that if one accepts a ready- made problem in this way, "one might just as well say that all truth is already virtually known, that its model is patented in the administrative offices of the state, and that philosophy is a jig- saw puzzle where the problem is to construct with the pieces society gives us the design it is unwilling to show us." (Deleuze, 2002, cited in Coleman, 2008) In other words, however sophisticated or creative AI might seem to be, its modelling is stuck in abstractions drawn from the past, and so becomes a rearrangement of the way things have been rather than a reimagining of the way things could be. AI has, in effect, an inbuilt political commitment to the status quo, in particular to existing structures that embed specific relations of power. The absence of different concepts leaves out the possibility of conceiving that things could be arranged differently.

Because my feelings on this are not ebbing at all, I went onto the Wayback Machine to revisit the Daily Show websites from its early days on. That site was my most visited for years, perfectly archived and so accessible. It was the beating heart of the fandom in so many ways.
What was removed yesterday from Comedy Central wasn't close to what it used to be - this is absolutely not me minimizing things at all, the wipe effectively makes The Daily Show and The Colbert Report lost media to people who don't know how to find them in less than legal ways and removes access to a massive part of modern American culture. But I'm kinda mourning an entire fandom experience rn.
Here's a pull from the website from 2009 from the Wayback Machine. I'm pretty sure I subscribed to the newsletter.
Tumblr media
The design I remember the most is this one - pull from 2012.
Tumblr media
Rob Corrdry's back guys!!! :D
The site got its last functional overhaul around when John Oliver hosted in 2013.
Tumblr media
And for all the olds, here's the site's initial incarnation, pulled from 2004.
Tumblr media
You should go to their Downloads page and grab some sweet Instant Messenger icons.
RIP Daily Show website and clips
