Really enjoying season 2 of The Boyfriend so far. I think Jobu is my favorite. I find him really relatable.. Heart on his sleeve, really open and will share anything about himself, but really falls apart when he feels excluded or unwanted. He's so sweet, I want the best for him ♥️

This good-natured, 34-year-old, Muslim, immigrant man—who the Times bemoaned was too young and radical to “get anything done”—has accomplished more good governance in a *week* on the job than most liberal politicians accomplish in their whole careers. With a smile & a joyful heart. A blessing.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

I saw a post about our city where the Heated Rivalry dudes were in my neighborhood chilling, and then I found out that the half Asian dude used to be a waiter at The Old Spaghetti Factory nearby lol.

The current Dem leadership is failing to meet the moment. Not because it doesn't understand the situation, but because the party has always existed to protect institutions for the benefit of capital, even when that leads to an outcome where someone like Trump openly abuses it against the people.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

BREAKING: Federal immigration officers shoot and wound two people in Portland, Oregon, authorities say.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “There’s little I can say again that will make this situation better, but I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE — To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis” I wish more officials would abandon decorum when situations are truly egregious

TJ's pals have a son I met when he was a newborn in a baby carrier. He's 13 now and his parents are bringing him to hang with us all cuz he doesn't socialize much. I've been the only one that managed to get him to talk lately and the other day he hits me with "Do you know what femboys are"

On the last day of 2025, TJ and I picked out some photos to hang in a frame together. We got 2 pics of me as a kid, 2 of TJ as a kid, and 4 of us at various points in life. 2025 was a mess of a year for so many reasons but this helped to ground me. Bad times pass. Make what you can of what you have

2025 is almost over

Teaching him about his people

Went climbing with pals and I took the best photo I've taken of one of my friends ever

Merry Merry Merryone!

There's.... gotta be a better way to say this

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Being responsible and empowering workers: paying technofascists to use their plagiarism machine because stick figure diagrams are beneath you; subjecting most working narrative people to insane hiring practices and requiring emigration because you don’t believe in remote work

YEP "Don't you want custom media generated just for you?" NO!! I want stories made by humans, full of intention and organic creativity!!

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

This is who you're gonna defend with that mealy-mouthed attitude of yours? lol you were never on the side of artists if you're willing to throw concept artists as an entire role under the bus. We can pick our battles fine, and it takes us less effort to do so than for people like Karl to defend it.

Behind every bad decision with backlash is a team of artists going "I told you so"

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.

Western cis het women are discovering frotting thru heated rivalry. Im excited to see what else is revealed to them in the future

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

Took TJ to puppy yoga today. This place was pretty special. They do it to socialize young litters of pups before they're adopted so that they're used to different kinds of people and different environments. Obviously there is more petting than stretching lol

Oh, Rivals made a Venom skin where he creates a skirt, magical-girl-style, by shaking his glowing ass and forming it out of thick white frosting?... Honey I don't think I've played him for more than 4 minutes but I think I'm buying this.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ. Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising. He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace. What more do people need to see?

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

ANIKI! 🥺✨ I made this Rikiya charm in the summer and can finally bring some to an event this weekend! Come say hi and get yourself a lil' souvenir! #yakuza

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview. If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

@zinkmchn.bsky.social www.orzgk.com/product/othe... aaaaaaagh I wish it wasn't so expensive, he costs more than the last two figures I bought together T_T

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

gurl after EVERYTHING with Whitney showing her transphobic ass, performing for Riyadh, and supporting RFK Jr.... What the hell are you doing @trixiemattel.bsky.social ??? It's still Trans Awareness Week YOU HAVE TIME TO TAKE THIS DOWN AND APOLOGIZE

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

join us!

I am so goddamn tired of conservatives destroying things that belong to the public. This department doesn't belong to Sim, it's not his, he has no moral right to do this. This is social vandalism. He just sucks so much. And he's not even a fun mayor who sucks, he's just boring and mid and awful.

Dems calling for Schumer to be replaced: - Ro Khanna - Mike Levin - Seth Moulton - Marc Pocan - Delia Ramirez - Rashida Tlaib

Demand That Chuck Schumer Step Down As Minority Leader Sign the petition: c.org/c5PbGWk6hM (Change(dot)org will ask you to donate. You *do not* need to donate.)

Tonight was a very bad night.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

@softasvulvet.bsky.social it was nice to meet ya at the con yesterday!! Hope to see you around if you end up tabling at another FGC or anime event! Haha

I was excited to buy this sticker, and TJ was so confused. I told him it was the last one FOR A REASON

6.5! I was excited to be caught up for Dawntrail since I was always an on-and-off player. Then I played Dawntrail and it was so bad I couldn't get through the MSQ lmao 😞
