If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

Maybe like 3 out of every 4 posts are non-political to kinda get people on board before you drop the "AI John Wayne says Trump is a Russian agent!" video idk

The move is clearly AI Reagan and AI John Wayne who do nothing but spout incongruously 2020s liberal-coded opinions about Trump being bad. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Why, though? Convincing, credulous dumb guys of stuff is easier than convincing smart, critically minded people. Like almost tautologically. bsky.app/profile/thir...

I was almost gonna say "the dumbest motherfucker you know's vote counts just as much as yours" but honestly given how the senate works, what the swing states are, etc etc the dumbest motherfucker you know's vote probably counts way more than yours does.

Unpopular opinion but the Dems should be investing in this sort of "this must hit so hard if you're stupid" slop content – our side lost the kind of people who like this shit 95/5 in 2024, just drawing the "incredibly dumb guy" demo back to 70/30 GOP would mean landslide Dem wins

Speak up, Link

For ppl not in the US, we kinda got our hands full with fascist oligarchs, war in diverse places, the poverty ppl don't seem to think we experience, migration bs, nazis and other white supremacists, and trying to help as many as we can here in this country as well as others. We would like to do more

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

It’s felony assault

I went to high school with more than 900 people.

900 people for the ENTIRE middle class? All of it?

The fundamental issue with the group chats is not that the members are Nazis, but that there’s no actual consequence for participating in a Nazi group chat. And why would there be? Their potential bosses are fine with it.

And still targeted a school.

Imminent is a 47 year endeavor. The guy is fucking stupid.

This is how CBS News describes a sadist who broke the vet's arm.

When I got long covid four years ago, the waiting room at the local long covid clinic was mostly women, mostly older. About two years ago I noticed that most of the other patients are now kids. It's staggering to see how many kids are winding up with #LongCovid. #WearAMask #CovidIsntOver

That means other people, places and other objects. I wonder if cops can get those videos with a warrant if you just have the glasses in your possession when you are arrested?

Would just note for the record that even Preston Brooks, in attacking Charles Sumner on the Senate floor, did not break any of Sumner's bones

Yeah this isn’t cool to me , as a way to talk about a user base . “Conspiracy brained” is an insult and minimization when , Bluesky has weighted opaque standards that disproportionally affect certain people We can’t stop you but the dig is unnecessary

there is a reason the Auditors once tried to replace Death for not following The Rules properly but the thing with The Rules is that, well, they have loopholes too and while Death may not ever fully understand humanity, he does quite like them

Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time

One of our new foster kittens was very easy to vaccinate. The other was a bit more difficult. Emphasis on the word "bit".

Like, I sometimes find dogs deeply scary, and I never go, "fuck dogs" what a weird position to have, they're dogs, they can't help the fact I'm scared of them

I'll just say abolishing ICE *is* the middle ground. Its existence was always extreme. They were always "baby's first death squad". Arguing that it can be fixed is utter cowardice. Don't let them shift the Overton on issues like this. If the moral answer is not the center, then make it the center.

When kids were forced back into in person schooling back in 2020 i ended up supporting and coaching a bunch of high schoolers regarding protesting the lack of protections that were provided, which ended with Hillary Clinton recogizing and reaching out to one of the suspended students.

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

how many surprise republican retirements are we up to this week? at least two, right?

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

Goodemorning Gonzobongos! Am up briteand earley, reddy to starte my daye!

eh, fuck it, silver pecs meme for a friend, god i love deadlock and fmg

I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis. Sadly, we’re barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto. Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites

Some of us are old enough to remember REI and a lot of other outdoor industry companies endorsing Doug Burgum. Now he’s meeting with the acting president of Venezuela. outdoor industry really showed its ass on that one

Honestly pretty funny that pro-AI folk are always saying things like "why do the greatest people of culture and all the funnest humans to be around hate AI?"

It's like a movie where you know the ending, but you watch anyway because the acting is so compelling!

You don't need Congress to declare a war, but you do need one to pay for it.🤡 Dems have the leverage needed to stop the war. I can't wait to see how they once again talk themselves into giving up all of that leverage and just going along with everything.

In college I hooked up with a pop star who currently has >25M monthly listeners on Spotify. How much more than 25M I will not say. I refuse to make the puzzle easy for you.

Growingly increasingly bitter that here at end of term, instead of reading student stories, I must prepare remarks for a college panel on whether & how to teach with Anthropic, w/ which my college contracted without faculty consultation. This isn’t a “debate”; they robbed me & my friends. So, no.

Average Bluesky staff meeting

"Because why let a good battle on or around the supposed site of the biblical battle of Armageddon go to waste, right?" - Pete Hegseth, probably.

the weirdest thing about the parody VN dating sim ecosystem is that dating sims are an extinct genre that just do not actually really exist anymore. They're parodying something that, for the most part, isn't real. It's like if you made a parody of a fake game you see someone playing on a tv show

Outsourcing our creativity in looking for connections, making those connections, developing personal and formal standards of worthwhile information, AND developing the patience for menial/tedious work is, I s2g, the worst decision we could make with this It feels like eating uranium

"Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor..."

(It was 1992. The joke was about Ross Perot as Darth Vader. He was going to use it on the Tonight Show. It didn't make the cut.)
