Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Can't overstate this! It feels wonderful to know that someone had a good time with your game. It's not just that they appreciate your work. Someone's day, maybe a day with their friends, got better because of something you put into the world. It's a special feeling.

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home. We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

There will always be some fraud in government programs, and there are systems in place to catch that fraud. Assuming EVERYONE on govt. assistance is defrauding the government will always cost more then just providing the assistance. Republicans will screw over everyone to harm those they hate.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Company: Hey consumer, you know that product we made, which is so bad that it's a bad value proposition even when it's free? Consumer: yeah, the one that completely obliterated public trust in your company? Company: That's the one! Anyway, how would you like to pay us $800 billion to use it?

This is the game I am most eager to play.

yeah basically. like, if you want trans people in things it starts with trans people behind things. the reduction of 'representation' entirely to the stated identities of onscreen characters misses the entire point!

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Not a lot of people know Guyatt by name but this is a HUGE L for transphobes and their sympathizers, incredible

They've lost the 9yos

of course art saying something Real is going to be more messy than whatever utopia you've invented entirely in your imagination, something not at all included in the thing you're praising now please stop being embarrassing, brush up on your media literacy, and support queer creators, ffs

wish there was a better way to have the convo about the fact a lot of fans force queer subtext into big corporate IP that is comically devoid of it, champion it for being "so gay", and then turn around and go "mm idk, it isn't PERFECT rep" about indie stuff actually trying to include those themes

As someone who writes horror games, it feels like a grace is currently extended to me that is not extended to people who write erotica. It is understood in horror that depiction is not endorsement, depiction is not instruction, depiction is not a mind control that will make you do the horror.

Shhh let them cook

"You can’t eradicate autism without eradicating autistic people. It’s genocidal rhetoric against us that’s justified by 'autism destroys families. It destroys children.' No, it doesn’t. It’s bias against autistic people." From an interview at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT: "When I asked why you did something, it was because I wanted to know why and I thought if I asked, you would answer, and then I would know, which is what I wanted. I was not expressing a criticism or a demand. I was asking a question. The question I asked."

Just going to have this as a daily affirmation stuck on my mirror.

Bro you can’t give up. You were born in a world that has onions AND garlic. You gotta hang in there it's worth it

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Going to add this here so more can see it: please see the quoted better table showing the same conclusion here:

incidentally adobe is now trying to convince people that acrobat's llm can read a legal contract for you and give you insights. please don't trust a computer with a contract. imagine what the worst thing related to that contract could be, then ask if you want to spend less on a lawyer to avoid it.

Trying to think of all the classic pieces titled in some form "The Rape of Persephone" and trying to understand if they'd be Bluesky-legal but it sounds pretty categorically like no? #bskycensorship

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

BREAKING: Luigi Mangione's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss his case on constitutional grounds. Some arguments are specific to his case, involving AG Bondi's actions, while others are more generally applicable. Law Dork earlier covered the underlying conduct: www.lawdork.com/p/luigi-mang...

Necessary, or worse—unnecessary. Commitment. Accommodation. Occasionally. Misspell. You can probably see the pattern here. Then there's coverage. Judgment. Exercise. Independence and attendance. Separate and desperate and disparate.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

This culture is so weird because if you do anything artistic as a fun little hobby you can't make a single post without three comments critiquing you for not monetizing it, but as soon as you try to monetize it people think you've lost your goddamn mind and/or soul for insisting on its worth.

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

I really enjoy this one!

So I volunteered myself to run a one shot at work for folks who have mostly never played a TTRPG before in three months. I'd love recs for games: 1) simple and easy to pick up with no experience 2) suitable/designed for one shots 3) can support a large table 4) relatively light themes

as usual, the pretext is a lie

if you must be online may i point out that project gutenberg is still around and still has basically every book written before 1910 for free

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

It's ironic that the people most responsible for getting us to this moment are now like "oh this is too far for me." very strange.

Perfectly timed....Auroral Hummingbird over Norway 🇳🇴 ✨️💙✨️💙✨️

The censorship will continue until free speech improves

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Working at CollegeHumor in 2015 meant dealing with a bunch of these kids who all acted like they were being hate crimed by being forced to watch a woman do comedy on YouTube

very much don’t look at this shit, it’s bad for you, i literally used to volunteer as a victim advocate at crime scenes and was around actual dead people all the time and i do not expose myself to violent content bc if you do that you have to also do a lot of brain maintenance to counteract it

we absolutely need to be talking more about gamergate and its impact in not only the gaming space but also modern culture at large

Today was my brother's birthday. He was just slightly less than a year older than me, so we had three weeks each year when we were "the same age." Next year, I'll be older than him.

Yeah, I wanna know what these supposed expressions actually were. Actual far leftists have way too much to say to fit on a bullet unless you use 4pt fonts.

::slowly stands while clapping::

as an elder millennial Bill is the first president I was meaningfully aware of and I will be first in line to throw him directly under the bus
