Something tells me that if we had a more diverse media, with just 0.4% of journalists from Muslim backgrounds and 0.2% Black, then the nationality and borders bill which is causing so much distress and alarm in communities like my own would be far higher up on the agenda.

This is particularly galling because Kickstarter reorganized in 2015 as a Public Benefit Corporation, which gives it certain implied direction, and then this happens.

OpenSea has a bot problem. We used to see plagiarized art appear more slowly on NFT marketplaces, but it looks like a huge wave of bots are now stealing artist's usernames, profile pics, bios, and art en masse to automatically populate fake NFT collections on OpenSea. https://twitter.com/Ayshiun/status/1468074454706458625

Y2K, the ozone hole, and acid rain are the trifecta of serious issues that were solved competently before they got out of control, and as a consequence are now remembered as never having been a problem at all

REMEMBER THE OZONE HOLE?? Not that long ago the world was under fire as Earth's ozone grew thinner & thinner. Pervasive skin cancer, reflective swimsuits, summers inside, these were fears & (in some cases) realities. So what happened?...

So, as Kickstarter moves to Blockchain, I only have one question: what should I use instead for running campaigns for my own games, and looking for games to back?

The marketing reach and discoverability are what I valued most, by far.
