This looks great UK peeps.

This is the second post I've seen this morning from someone with weird Google search results that took a very quick racist turn

Here we see @ben.kirman.org at home.

what do you mean hamnet isn't about pig internet

This feels like it's going to escalate into dueling flag raising vs removal. Hopefully that's all it escalates to.

The No ICE in Minnesota bundle has launched, raising funds for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Over 1400 items for $10.00! itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

the poster for the new dracula movie saying "from the director of the fifth element, the professional, and lucy" and not luc besson's name is intentional, he is a pedophile and i will not be giving that man a single dime. it's black history month, lemme tell you about some black vampire movies below

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Here's the thing: as he is no longer a "working" Royal, surely he has time to make his own beans on toast?

There’s a free to read post on my Patreon about my inspiration and execution of this piece I made for the Godlings exhibit. If you wanna read it, that would be cool 👉👈 everyone worked really hard on this and it was such a joy to be a part of.

Love it when BlueSky puts a random reply from one of your friends in your feed with no context. It's like a weird fortune cookie.

Everyone should watch this

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

Now this is the good shit.

Not a single solitary mention of the recent ICE murders by any member of our gov't This presidency has done nothing but lie & spread constant propaganda and apparently that's just sort of fine because ??? Something something trade deals, I guess? So this is how fascism takes hold

self-care checkpoint- take a second to read through the sim bar needs and evaluate where you're at right now

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

'Dr Stephenson is more open to taking a “pragmatic approach” that could limit the financial impact a trans toilet ban would have on businesses.' Yes, because it's the businesses that have been unfairly singled out here, sure.

Such cards were also famously used as a dehumanising psychological warfare technique in the Vietnam war.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

For those of us here in the UK who are watching with horror what is going on over in the US it is very important to remember that this is exactly what Reform wants for us over here. They've said so. They want 'forced deportations' in the US style. We're not safe here either if they win.

This raffle is still open and I am sick thinking about how many more people ICE has kidnapped, abused, and killed between the time I first posted this and now. Fuck ICE. Winner drawn 1/27, all money raises will be dispersed to verified gofundme’s directly benefitting those impacted by ICE violence.

Abolishing ICE is step one, let’s not leave out that they must all be prosecuted.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

A masked ICE agent warned a woman in Portland, Maine, that her information would be entered into a “nice little database” that would label her a domestic terrorist. It is not illegal to film a federal agent. trib.al/qOYPEA6

“The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities.”

Running the FB page for my board game group brings me into contact with weird fake accounts trying to exploit our members. Very rarely one of those apparently fake accounts turns out to be a real person who has no idea how to internet. So sometimes I have to observe them in a holding pen like now.

"(Doge) signed a secret data-sharing agreement with an unidentified political advocacy group whose stated aim was to find evidence of voter fraud and overturn election results" It was about accessing and manipulating data? Who could have guessed.

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

Post the first game you actually completed. No idea what the first I completed would be, but Way of the Exploding Fist is the first I felt I'd mastered. Once you reached 10th Dan it was just infinite 10th Dan fights with no "win" screen. Others initially didn't believe I'd done it.

Had a great time with the @iggi-phd.bsky.social jam this week. One of the suggested constraints was to use Qualtrics (survey platform) as a game engine, and it piqued my interest so I put a small game together. It's called Research Survey - benkirman.itch.io/research-sur...

This is just another step in the very obvious plan to enact massive voter intimidation. There is a reason why deploying the National Guard into blue-voting cities is being normalised.

As always, the great pumpkin is being played by someone smarter.

Without naming it, screenshot a game you had a blast with, but which doesn't get enough love from the community at large.
