Me, a grizzled Hollywood screenwriter, taking a long drag of my cigarette what the fuck is a Jira and why do these assholes want me to write “barks”

Renaming the Department of Defense has the exact same energy as when your cousin would post a meme on Facebook about how he’s the most loyal person you’ll ever meet, but if you cross him he’ll be your worst nightmare.

A cool thing about game development and also humanity is that people will be like “I wish they had this charming feature” and inside I’m like “I wanted that feature too but it turns out evil people can and will use it maliciously so we can’t have nice things.”

A thing that happens when your country is fine.

Anybody who knows anybody that might be interested in Demonschool and might give it a little boost, please entice them to fill out this form! We put a lot into this game and we really want people to see it.

I went to Lava Beds National Monument, and if you want to be handed a map to an unlit cave you can explore without ranger supervision, I strongly recommend it.

I’m trying to use up groceries on a trip, so kids got two hotdogs. I explained that this was a new holiday where you eat two hotdogs called “I 8/8 those hotdogs”. Anyway, please celebrate today’s holiday by eating two hot dogs.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Institutions that endure necessarily develop traits of self preservation. Power protects itself. The DNC might oppose our turn to authoritarianism, but it’s not a pressing existential threat to the institution like progressives winning primaries is.

This Juneteenth we remember our history of teaching arrogant, white men that they can’t flout the law and abuse marginalized people indefinitely. A lesson we need to re-teach every so often.

I was standing on a street corner in Seattle, waiting to cross. Sean Nelson, lead singer of Harvey Danger and local journalist, jaywalked part way, then got stuck in the median. He looked up at me and made a sort of "well gosh" flummoxed face. The light changed and we crossed the road.

I’m excited that finally #MagicTheGathering Secret Lair Nuestra Magia is announced! The team worked really hard on representing many aspects from all over #Latinoamérica. I served as creative lead and writer for this release. #wotcstaff #latinos magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Oh god it’s happening again

this thread is long for a reason—it attempts to lay out a call to action to do something proactive at the state level to help protect healthcare for trans people. this will be more important than ever as the federal government tightens its fist on trans care. please read. ⬇️ help if you can. 💜

Trans rights get really simple when you decide to treat trans people like they are human beings. NB: Libby isn’t even the rep for the district where this happened, she’s just a weirdo who won’t leave trans kids alone.

Only 4 days left to back awesome board game Speed Cicleta! It’s 71% there, I really hope this can get funded!! 🚴‍♀️ #cycling #boardgames #boardgame #kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/mik...

Hell yeah, absolutely the correct tournament policy.

hey, i find info about topic X is hard to find on our team. i know there's a confluence page for it, but i don't read confluence. there's an email distro & meeting series about it but my religion forbids meetings and i am illiterate. there's also the local pigeon carrier network, but i hate pigeons,

Friends! Today is my birthday, & also the launch of the Speedcicleta boardgame Kickstarter campaign! I did several art pieces for the game AND DESIGNED A PLUSH MOOSE CYCLIST for the campaign! I'd love if you could share this and consider backing- this is a very special project!❤️ kck.st/42d8hqJ

My whole life it was a settled reality that the left wanted social programs and support and the right were hard nosed realists who believed in making money. But that’s not what the numbers show. Every major recession since 1929 except one was under republicans. (1/3)

Cherry blossoms fully doing their thing during my walk.

"high-profile ​“free speech” advocates such as Bari Weiss, Jonathan Haidt, David Brooks, David Frum, John McWhorter, and Malcolm Gladwell have either remained silent or championed the arrests."

No room in my tent for people who'd kick my child out to die

I already love the Puzzmo crossword, but today the editor, @xws.bsky.social noted that assless chaps is redundant, and it’s so gratifying to see pushback on this phrase that I am now committed for life.

I never stop getting prouder that my last conversation with Jeff Strain involved looking him in the eye and saying "Jeff, this is bullshit."

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It’s really impressive how many words Hakeem Jeffries used to not say “extrajudicial disappearing of legal residents of the US is bad.” Seems like a low bar, and yet!

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent. CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture. MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

My official stance as a WotC (and this Hasbro) employee: doing $10 toys you can hand to a kid is a very good call.

It’s The Feast of St. Valentine, and you know what that means: Thinking about beekeepers and pouring one out for the patron saint of bees.

The thing about trans kids is leave them the fuck alone

I wanted to get a bag of Tapatio Doritos, but when I got there it was a buy 2 get 3 free sale, and I don’t want five bags of chips, but I can’t handle not getting the deal and it really stressed me out. Ultimately I did not buy any chips.

is it uncharitable to say, i hope the new york times leadership gets not one moment of peace after this

there’s a bill on the floor rn to outlaw gender affirming care for minors in washington, PLEASE go to this link and select "oppose." takes 30 sec. examples on stuff to say in thread! app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1038

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

Post or do not post a bird as you prefer, but I like this one.

With Bob Uecker’s passing, I want to remember his most important role in cinema: The scene in OC and Stiggs where he just rambles to no one that baseball is tougher than football in the background until someone asks the date and he responds “It’s the all-star break” and then goes back to his fugue.

I'm hiring an Associate Game Designer for Magic Arena. You will get to work with a really phenomenal group of people and also me. careers.hasbro.com/careers?quer...

I have seen well meaning people bemoan that health care falls under the auspices of the Iron Triangle: good, cheap, fast — pick two. We need to do a better job of making it really clear that it’s both expensive AND bad. We have the worst scenario here. Life expectancy is a great example.

This is what segregationists said about media depicting blacks as normal or interracial relationships as ok

It is once again that time of year. Santa Paus has arrived to offer free copies of Cinco Paus to the children! Also you can just buy it yourself it’s not that much and it’s really good.

When I tell my kids the role of police is to protect the interests of rich people, this is what I’m talking about.

I considered coming up with a joke about Carry-On, the new Airport based thriller on Netflix, and Carry-On, the long running, low-budget, honey-in-a-specifically-British-way, farce series. Instead I am going to walk my dog, but if you want to come up with one maybe that’s fun for you.

I probably can’t win this, but you should try to.

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.
