Not to throw shade on this initiative at all, but I think it really does exemplify why the left often has contempt for 'liberal' solutions: Donald Trump quite illegally tore up federal union rights. There are laws on the books right now that, in theory, should've prevented any of this union busting.

It's here! We wanted to make a fun scrolling interface for DOOM levels, and call it DOOMSCROLLER. doomscroll.cx is now live! @johnromero.bsky.social

the big problem with restored content mods in video games is that often that content was cut for good reason, not simply a matter of it being unfinished before release date

I want to watch Fellini's 8 1/2 but I'm worried that I'll miss something because I didn't watch the 7 previous movies in the series

Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

Reading Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood and it's excellent. It has languished on my to-read pile for decades and I regret having put off reading it for so long

Likely to swap any of these out for something else, but my instincts tell me this is a good spread of very different games Swords without Master Flying Circus Dialect Dust Devils

the thing about extreme content in video games is that the most appalling taboo porn game on the internet is still more artstically valid and has more reason to exist than Roblox

Please, Mr. Mindfreak was my father. Call me Crissangel

smells are like books for cats

I am not joking that last week's dungeon in the game I gm featured a miniature phallic tintinnabulum as the means to bypass a deadly trap

One theme in conspiracy theories is that they invent malevolent competence to explain how the world works, because the amount of chaos and stupidity behind how things really work is just depressing.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here). I hate this.

Pluribus and Common Side Effects are beautiful, stunning TV made with intelligence, humanity, and incredible skill and the entire underlying premise is like something made up by a "freethinker" conspiracy dipshit who lives off of a biblical numerology based protein powder from Etsy called "TrueFood"

First two episodes of Pluribus were very enjoyable but I can't stop chortling to myself after realizing that the premise can be presented as "chemtrails spread the woke mind virus and one blonde white woman has a problem with that"

thinking about gene wolfe's coworker being driven mad by potato chips again

People have gotten far too cosy with critiques which manage to acquit the party leadership by placing all the blame on the public. This is how antidemocratic brownshirts and authoritarians talk. Not only is it bad politics, not only is it escapist, it has a loser stink that voters can smell.

Long post re: "free" affinity: www.reddit.com/r/AffinityPh...

Borders are evil and freedom of movement is a tremendous good. Sorry Bernie Sanders but you can get fucked. x

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Walker is a great anticolonialist satire of the freebooter William Walker, soundtrack by Joe Strummer and directed by Alex Cox (of Repo Man fame)

Today's Classic Cover of the day is the 1985 edition of Gene Wolfe's A Devil in a Forest, illustrated by Bruce Pennington

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

Actual socialism is when 9-9-6 work culture embraced among tech startups in the west.

parents PLEASE check your kid's candy this year. i just found a copy of "the elder scrolls: tribunal" in a snickers bar. that is NOT playable without the morrowind base game

if you use the story of an american politician having a nazi tattoo to smear all ukrainians out of the blue, you're as fascist as that politician

i think if someone has nazi tattoos, even if you fully trust they are not a white supremacist or nazi or have moved away from those ideas, you don’t need to defend them or twist yourself into knots advocating for them. they’re the one with the nazi tats. they are advocating for themselves.

BREAKING: The Democratic Party to be split into two organizations: "Communism Two" will handle actual legislation and as consolation "The Good Manners Gang" will serve as a makework program for friends and family of the wealthy until their assets can be seized by the state.

The populist Left, being self-hating bougie types, can't get enough of those Manly Working Class Vibes from someone just as bougie

Thinking about Trotsky's comment in _The Revolution Betrayed_ that British middle class lefties (HG Wells, the Webbs etc) only started supporting the Russian Revolution AFTER it was strangled by Stalinism They knew what was up; that their class had gained power

What video game do you consider perfect?

MSNBC fired a guy for paraphrasing Yoda

weird the right isn't posting wall to wall about this and the trump admin hasn't immediately threatened said extremist network I wonder what the difference is

they have created a perverse environment where killing a fascist is as hazardous to the left as not making the green m&m sexy enough or putting a trans flag in a video game

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time
