Should ICE still be in MN on 2/7, the NFL players should simply decide not to play in the Super Bowl. Now THAT would be epic.

The fact that both Good and Pretti's killers remain at large is in itself damning. On the most neutral, quote unquote law abiding sense, indict them and give them a free trial, as is their right under the Constitution. But even starting that process is something those in power are desperate to avoid

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.

They are, and always have been lying hypocrites who embrace fascism, and support outcomes and concepts that further it, while rejecting those that do not, even if those concepts and outcomes are identical. Ignore everything they claim. Assume all actions are evil. Always begin there.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

Started back with mini's today. Had a crack at building some figures and scenery. Gonna try to do a regular session with some mates. Thinking one Sunday a month dedicated to building stuff, then playing.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Today is my birthday, and the best gift for me will be a retweet. My name is Vitalii. I am from Ukraine and open for commissions, so if you would like to get #SciFi artwork (spaceships, vehicles, dystopian future), I will gladly do this. You can contact me here or via [email protected]

Can someone on the ground near a detainment camp start a volunteer transport network? People could sign up to drive refugees home, one leg of the trip at a time. Animal rescues have moved dogs cross-country this way for years.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The original owner is still hoping to get around to painting it.

The state should indict members of that secret police force for their crimes; let's find out if they actually have immunity, and what the limits of that immunity are. I don't think* they have the kind of blanket immunity the Regime claims *I explain here patreon.com/posts/147687764/

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

“The humanities simply don’t fit a corporate model because they are just not monetizable in the same way the sciences or even the social sciences are. And the deeper reason they’re coming under attack is that free thought and rigorous, free inquiry is dangerous to executive power.”

An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input. Read our full statement here: www.freeplay.net.au/survey2026 Help us decide our next step here: forms.gle/W4ZSns1bGCX1...

I have thoughts on this, as a former director and a board member for six years, and for one time anyway, a keeper of the flame of Freeplay’s history. But first up I want to say how incredibly disappointing it is that Creative Vic hasn’t funded Freeplay.

If enough writers and artists threaten to pull out over the inclusion of the theft machine, I'll bet you Comic-Con will reverse course.

Incredibly shocked and saddened to learn of Steve Dee’s passing. His passion for making games and sharing the craft of gamemaking was unmatched. He made a whole bunch of great games (It Is Forbidden is stellar), and in his memory I want to share my favourite:

Here's your free RPG for #FreeRPGDay: You are a housecat. Whenever you attempt to pull a fast one on your humans, roll 1d6. 1: Spectacular failure; what do you destroy? 2-3: Marginal failure; what do you destroy? 4-5: Marginal success; what do you destroy? 6: Critical success; what do you destroy?

When the science doc narrator starts talking in a scale of kilometers, my American brain is like, "So how many school buses is that?"

You know who was great? Claudia Cardinale. Terrific actress, fine human being, never became a fascist. Also extraordinarily beautiful. She was a feminist and a UNESCO goodwill ambassador. She died earlier this year. Just remembering her today for no particular reason.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

My spouse and I were just talking yesterday about how Avatar is the poster child for a "smash hit blockbuster success" that hasn't made even a scratch on pop culture. Like a bowling alley claw machine: there to take your money and give nothing back.
