Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.

The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.

The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.

So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.

Some just want to promote conflict, cause chaos, or even just get attention.

The deep dive into the history, gatekeeping and exclusion, racism and colorism, uplifting of pallor, flirting with fascism, fetishisation and appropriation, conflicting ideologies and reality, and all-round white supremacist tendencies of the alternative/goth subculture that absolutely no-one asked for.

Tezuka Osamu's gekiga show some artistic experimentation, but also dig further into his conservative ideas about gender and sexuality, which were more ignorable in titles aimed at wider audiences. Two stories in particular, Apollo’s Song and MW, hammer in how much of his work was steeped in heteronormativity and homophobia.

If Blaire White would have wanted to learn who her allies truly are, she could have done so ages ago. There are clips from her streams out there wherein she complains about the rampant transphobia that surrounds her. Yet she made no effort to separate herself from the far-right.

“It is difficult to get someone to understand something, when their salary depends on them not understanding it.”

And that probably goes doubly so, when your entire shtick is to play "the only good transwoman" for the far-right.
