First Trump's tariffs tipped the Canadian and Australian elections to the center-left parties. Then his interference in Brazil flipped Lula's numbers, and Greenland threats revived the Danish left — both ahead of 2026 elections. Trump is the international left's best friend.

OUGHHHHHHHH

Mawar had a lot to say during some behind-the-scenes downtime! Mawar shares her thoughts the best way she knows how, through chuffs, grumbles, and some seriously impressive tiger talk. Mawar recently celebrated her 7th birthday, and clearly still has big feelings about it. 😂

Upper Midwest friends who are about to deal with a big chill: -DO NOT plug space heaters into anything but a grounded, firm outlet. Loose outlets, power strips & extension cords CAN CAUSE FIRES. -Leave all water outlets on a mild drip to avoid pipe issues. -Close up air gaps that lead outside.

In light of today’s Xbox showcase: a reminder that the BDS boycott against Xbox and Microsoft products is still ongoing. If you say you oppose Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, or oppose ICE here in the US, Microsoft is not a neutral company in either of these stories.

Microsoft provides technology that upholds Israel’s apartheid and powers ICE’s deportation and detention infrastructure. It’s strange to watch people express genuine, justified rage at ICE and then immediately fawn over Xbox reveals like Microsoft exists in a gamer vacuum medium.com/@noazurefora...

The best time to boycott Xbox and Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now. Focused, targeted boycotts work, this one is working, and all you got to do to support it is go play other games. Literally the least you could do in this moment in history

Every time I see a legislator arguing that we just need to give them better de-escalation training, I want to ask them "Do you think calling someone a racial slur and concussing them while they're handcuffed is an accident? Do you think they were trying to de-escalate and just didn't know how?!?!"

I think about this almost every day

We’ve been speaking out against KOSA since it was introduced in 2022 by Marsha Blackburn, a bigot and outspoken advocate for censoring trans people off the internet in effort to “protect children from the transgender in this culture.” KOSA has ALWAYS been about censorship and suppression.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

had a jump scare looking up 12th night @werewolf.pizza

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

rereading the earthsea books lately. forgot about the scene in wizard where ged is trying to save a dying child via magic and it's like "here's what it looked like to the people watching: he raised his staff and kicked up a cloud of dust and when it cleared the child was dead on the pavement"

I hate that small press publishers are incentivized to overextend, overpromise, launch their new title with a suite of add-ons and upsells, reveal high-profile surprise collaborators at a moment of surging attention, and leapfrog past a healthy, iterative scaling-up of production capacity.

If crowdfunding was primarily a tool for scraping together the meager startup costs for underfunded artists and makers to make their dreams happen, through the power of community, that would be a different story. And it's the story that crowdfunding told about itself initially!

But the way that the TTRPG industry uses it, as a high-profile, boom-or-bust product launch strategy that leverages flashy upsells and manufactured urgency to try to make number go up, that stakes 6-18 months of work on how big that number gets, structurally produces precarity and volatility.

reposting this here bcuz this is from my home state i really do not want it to get buried in the deluge of atrocities the bison reintroduction program in MT has been the most successful in the country and one of the last things holding the prairie ecosystem there together. (1/2)

Just remembered this comic I made about an actual dream I had:

"after the storm I see again a weasel" I'm sorry dude was cooking here. He should have rolled with it. You expect to see a calm sea after a storm, but a weasel is new and refreshing.

now that 1.0's been out for a bit, wanted to share some of my contributions to Hades II! had the pleasure to work with the team for the past few years - not comprehensive at all but here's a small sampler of icons and small illustrations that can be found across the game

I understand the urge to not worry about it right now, but radical normieism ("save the status quo by any means necessary") is going to turn out to be a huge long-term problem in the movements spontaneously popping up

This entire episode is a riot but this moment in particular gets me every time

politicians who resent Zohran resent him b/c he ruins the low-expectations curve that allows them to get away with not doing or standing for anything real, much less acting on it out of a sense of basic human decency and ethics he ruins the lie that moral laziness is just How Things Have To Be

ive been thinking about this alot. whatever big name ceo decides to start valuing the customer again is gonna be revered as a steve jobs business genius

I'm going to fucking lose it, this man was grown in a lab for me to support

You’re gonna see so many columns in the UK press deducing Starmer’s master strategy but the truth is Europe let Gaza, Iran, Venezuela etc. happen because they wanted it, now the beast is coming for them, the EU has just enough clout to respond as a bloc but the UK is out in the cold and fucked.

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

it is a moral imperative that we abolish prisons

An underrated part of The Art of Manga exhibit is when they had to try and explain each part of jjba in a short sentence while retaining a museum's register

alright look I’ve added Garfield

Hey there, Delilah Can you hear me through the floorboards Below which my dismembered corpse Provides the only records Of your crime? A long way back from hell I've had to climb Now I speak in rhyme

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

🚨🚨VERIFIED STRIKE FUND LINK ALERT🚨🚨

Tonight I learned that Harris losing every swing state was a Great campaign which she only lost bc tankies, who are Russian bots but also US voters and are few in number yet a huge voting bloc, didn't vote for her. But also it was rigged by Elon. But it's also maybe Sanders and Stein's fault.

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

some people are being snarky and passive aggressive saying "this is just a nicer way to say grow thicker skin 🙄" and ... Yeah. It is. you literally cannot live your whole life freaking out and spiraling because you saw a word you don't like, or a character you hate, etc etc.

No shade to OP but isn't weird how we never think "I don't need mechanics to help with combat"

It's almost like we don't think of violence as a form of a dialogue but rather a systematized management of resources as a way to impose our will on others. There's no way the ideology we live in and is perpetually reinforced by every game we play could influence that.

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life
