I genuinely can't figure out if I like Marathon or if I'm just stressed and finding some kind of odd masochistic relief in it. I usually hate this kind of game. Nightreign made me actively miserable to play it. But for some reason I am vibing with the art direction and rhythm a lot.

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

ICE has been really good at catching wind of these unannounced visits in other cities recently and flying all the captured migrants out beforehand. But not today. Well done catching them, Congresswoman. We should expect that all of the detention centers are this bad when they aren’t tipped off.

"Hegseth’s distinct combination of piety and bloodlust was most prominently on display at the 25 March worship service at the Pentagon, the first since the war in Iran began, when he prayed for 'overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.'" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The end of The Long Dark's story is a moment for me to look at how the game's two pieces fit together, and the role this game has played in my life for the last (whew) 13 years

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Kind of a major problem that the leaders of the opposition party are basically in favor of the war with Iran and find it very convenient that they don't have to do any of the bag holding

I think way more people should see my videos, I think they're pretty good.

It's fine to have however many red bulls you want because I knew a guy who shotgunned cans of rockstar and didn't die and those are 16 oz and clearly unhealthy and the red bulls are only 8-12oz with fruit and floral themes so they must be way healthier

I know there's a million terrible things going on but this is actually up there with the most terrible. The potential end of American nature, paving the way for total exploitation.

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/s...

Now's a good time to circle back on this

And she has since been deported. Link here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

And it gets worse . . .

We didn't deserve this day.

you or i as americans might not be responsible for this, we might not have wanted it to happen, we might have fought against it. but we are by dint of our simple existence here complicit in it. sit with that. let yourself be sad and ashamed. you can probably handle that, if you're not a coward.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

It is lost in the chaos of everything today but it is bug fuckin nuts that the VP is IN ANOTHER COUNTRY at a rally specifically to ensure a fellow fascist is reelected as Prime Minister. Like I cannot think of another time a VP POLITICALLY CAMPAIGNED FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT in my lifetime

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

Anti-Trans bigotry is such a strong force because Trans people represent a movement towards bodily autonomy that would violate everything the fascists hold dear. The fascists don't want anyone to get to make choices about their bodies. Trans healthcare is a slap in the face to patriarchal control.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I and Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

Flip this around. "American researcher in China dies after 'hostile questioning' by government authorities" How would the U.S. react?

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

See, THIS is a hostage-taking

For Woke Week, I make the case for Clive Barker's Nightbreed - a lurid, pulp masterpiece butchered on its release. It knows who its enemies are - the cops, the state, and a straight society that seek to control and manipulate people for being different. Also it's sick. aftermath.site/nightbreed-m...

I don't choose them or profit from them. They're there as a consequence of using copywritten music in some of my intros. Some videos have ads and some don't for that reason. There are a lot of adblockers you can use to get around it.

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

#TDOV much love to my siblings 🖤

So I went to see Chrissy Chlapecka tonight and it was AMAZING. She is so clever and talented with such an enormous voice. Kind of crazy to see a pop star who could be playing much larger venues do a small one. Audience was wonderful too, everyone knew all her tracks, even Clam Casino.

Hey y'all! Tonight I will be going live and raising money for Trans Lifeline as part of Trans Week Of Visibility! I'll be playing Kingdom Hearts 2 Randomizer! I've never played a randomizer before so I hope it'll go well? If you want to donate beforehand, link is here! tilt.fyi/PeErtsKfZB

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

89% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Republican governor and two Republican senators 23% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Happy Sunday. Don't get bogged down by the bullshit. 🤘🏼

Been thinking about why this is annoying me so much, and I think it's about how narrowing and shitty a thing it is to be so rich. For anyone else, sushi is an event meal, you plan for it, you splurge on it, you go somewhere that knos what they're doing because culinary arts are an art to appreciate.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

bookmarking, for when they try to cancel me for a similar upcoming sentiment

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

Obviously right now DLSS is a feature just for video games and needs to be manually implemented and then manually turned on, but the idea that there can be an intermediary between the data/software trying to render it and the user which takes an opinionated slant at rendering that data is... hm.

They want to make us criminals for needing to pee. Please understand that this is the tip of an agenda designed to give trans people two choices: house arrest or imprisonment. Either we lock ourselves inside or they lock us up and forcibly detransition and torture us. This is exterminationist.

"After being held in isolation for about five days. Rodríguez was forced to strip naked in a shower while an officer "poured some kind of chemical liquid on her head, which seemed to be something used to clean floors and burned her eyes,” the filing read."

they do not want art, which often provokes and challenges existing power structures (in other words, theirs). they desire only content that soothes their fragile egos, that hides the simmering resentment everyone else in the world feels towards them
