There are a lot of well-meaning people who need to internalize Matthew 6:3.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

This didn't happen by random chance of the market or some neutral development of technology. The game industry, like many industries, figured out how to outsource all the risks and costs of production onto the aspirational while capturing their own cut as rent. Game devs are uber drivers now.

I'm very proud of my MFA students!!! come check it out

the quickest and easiest way to open a bottle of wine is to smash it on the ground. if you don't know enough about the world to evaluate that as a bad outcome then yeah you could happily go through life that way believing you had a magic bottle opener! ai tools mostly make apparent the true issues.

"if you take out a loan, you have to pay it back" no you don't. if I give you an apple, you owe me an apple. if I decide you no longer owe me an apple, then.. you don't owe me an apple anymore!!

also it's the same old convo but even ignoring that most people don't actually really seem to like art that much, games are given even less leeway to here. like people are largely mostly only okay with thinking about difficulty in the Dark Souls sense but not in most other senses

US DoJ's supposed "Task Force on Anti-Semitism" threatened to cancel protestors' student visas but its first target is a prominent protest negotiator who a) graduated months ago b) has a green card, not a student visa c) is about to become a father d) used a media spotlight to denounce anti-Semitism

286 MILES by @lawraclark.itch.io Made for the 'Year of Luigi' @boshis.place guess it counts as a historical-fiction game. much narrative flair, great use of 2 minutes 💚 lawraclark.itch.io/286-miles Play in browser / 2 mins / Free

The “transgender mice” Trump quote is an exemplar of this bullshit moment: - Bizarre Trump statement, Repubs laugh at “woke” - Liberals assume it’s a misread of “transgenic,” crow derisively - Right wing media reports it seriously - Reality: mouse studies of health outcomes on HRT get defunded

You can now play the games shown at our Year of Luigi show on itchio. Many of the games were created just for the show! not included: Civ VI play the collection here: boshisplace.itch.io

history sides with Bob Dylan for going electric and taking what he did in a more abstract and modern direction over the folkies in his scene who insisted on adapting the same old traditional folk songs in the same ways or writing didactic protest hymns on acoustic guitar forever.

one does not simply walk into Mordor without first doing a land acknowledgement
