Trump got reelected because just enough people thought he'd bully the right people - that is, people that weren't them. It never ever works that way. What is it going to take for people to learn?

At what point does someone call bs on the MAGA idea that it's right and good that regular people get shot and killed because federal and state officials can't get along? Because that is literally their argument on the killing of Alex Pretti.

Since MAGA has made it clear they don't actually care about the 1st, 2nd or 4th amendments, and they're gleefully trampling states rights, what IS the ethical underpinning of modern conservatives? Because from up here in Canada it just looks like an excuse to bully and get special privileges.

I was watching @redlianak.bsky.social on live stream last night on my big screen and my mom goes "Did someone just say 'shit cannonballs' on the TV?" I'm like, yeah mom, I'm watching CNN right now. Laura Coates has a bit of a mouth on her tonight.

Continuing to try to finish the original Trails in the Sky on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/redlianak

I cannot stand the memes that normalize catastrophizing the smallest things about life. It's not cute. Learn to self regulate. If you're afraid that your friends hate you because there's a pause in responding to your text, how shit a friend ARE you exactly that this would make the slightest sense?

Volvo has been owned by a Chinese company since 2010. It feels like the late 70s all over again with people acting like cheap Asian cars entering the market will be the end of civilization. In 1978 it was Toyota that caused the freak out. The RAV4 is now made in Canada. Doug Ford needs to read more.

Warhammer 40K maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI. ALL HAIL THE OMNISSIAH!

Okay this stream is gonna be FREAKING EXTRA because I have had a day www.twitch.tv/redlianak

My first thought when I heard Scott Adams died was "He is with Catbert now." Which speaks to his cultural impact on multiple levels. I hope he has peace. He didn't seem to have any when he was alive.

Someone should sue because men are allowed to coach girls' sports, like Brent Kavanaugh did. According to him, that means a woman didn't get to coach, and that caused harm. If trans girls aren't allowed to play, why are cis men allowed to coach?

Rolling Stone platformed a writer judging Ashley Tisdale instead of empathizing with the pain of feeling excluded, apparently because said author's teenagers hate her. My god ladies be better to each other. Ashley Tisdale Is Not the Only Lonely Mom in America share.google/8me9S4sZAfsB...

The very fact that federal agents like ICE can shoot people in the face the second they get scared is why they need to be trained to deescalate (like they are here in Canada. Cops also have less immunity here). And he shouldn't have had a phone in his hand. This is why real cops wear body cameras.

So watching this mom group validate everything Ashley Tisdale claimed has been enlightening. The fact that Hillary Duff's husband was the absolute cattiest one is just... it's like none of them mentally left the high school musical. So she doesn't want to be their friend anymore. WHO CARES?

I mean, who hasn't done this?

The news is horrible. Have a capybara farting in a tub.

“Always thank someone for a PREsent they preSENT to you.” “With that INsult, you inSULT my intelligence.” "You play a RECord but reCORD the music."

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.” 🧵⬇️

I don't care what anyone says, the way people are ripping on the looks of the Stranger Things actors who are in their early 20s is "You are a horrible person" territory. Like the show, don't like the show, but don't be cruel and petty. It's just a TV show.

FINALLY back to gaming on Twitch. Still trying to finish Trails in the Sky. The original game. www.twitch.tv/redlianak

As much as "globalize the intifada" does frighten me to hear or read, I don't believe that banning the phrase, without promotion of understanding as to why it's interpreted by Jewish communities as a call to violence, does any good. Persuasion begins with understanding those with whom you disagree.

Dear "Eat the Rich" Westerners, If you make more than $8000 - $10000, compared to the median global wage, you are rich. The phrase is correct in that the rest of the world is getting tired of this.

Meanwhile Owlcat clearly really loves Warhammer 40K. Rogue Trader is so oddly joyous for a game full of war crimes. The party member characters are pretty interesting too. This and Death Stranding 2 have reminded me this year tha, in the sea of misery, some developers still enjoy making games.

Me in 2024: it's like Larian doesn't even like D&D Larian stans: SHUT UP BITCH YOU KNOW NOTHING. Me in 2025: Yup. It's Bungie phoning in Halo 3 all over again. And I took abuse for calling that one too. It was obvious to any long time Forgotten Realms fan that Larian didn't like the material.

Seeing all the US takes on Canadian media in the wake of the 60 Minutes thing is hilarious. Canadian media barely functions, folks. It's a laughably sad thing. The idea that a network would deliberately leak a retracted 60 Minutes segment is nonsense. People are too afraid of losing their jobs.

TEN MINUTES UNTIL YEAR OF THE GAME! www.twitch.tv/redlianak Year of the Game is my Discord Community's annual Game Awards spoof!

Rockstar Games union busting should probably be a bigger deal

Really people, are you seriously shocked that the company who blanded up Shadowheart after early access players didn't find her instantly fuckable enough would use AI slop in their concept phase? Surprised Pikachu Face is Mass Effect Andromeda tired.

So... the Larian AI stuff...

I don't think it's can continue the Grand Mother Silk fight in Silksong. Not because it's too hard. Because of the content. I won't post spoilers but the ick factor is huge. It's too disturbing.

Streaming more classic Trails in the Sky, starting at The Maple Leaf Inn! @everyone www.twitch.tv/redlianak

www.twitch.tv/redlianak - Playing more Trails in the Sky. Come get away from politics!

Twitch time! Classic Trails in the Sky continues! www.twitch.tv/redlianak

Be very careful using "strange" or "weird" as an insult. If you have anything that isn't 100% normal about you, using that against someone else is hypocrisy.

The "fun" of trying to reduce drama in one's life is that getting rid of dramatic people is, in itself, drama filled, and a lot of those people have way too much time on their hands. The right to be left alone is as under threat as many other rights.

I can't give up, I won't give up on my students! 🥰 I’d ❤️ your help with pencils, snacks, Kleenex, or just an RT. Anything helps! Thank you! @electroboyusa.bsky.social @senatetim.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @lanechanged.bsky.social @kanekavi.sheshed.rocks @redlianak.bsky.social

I'm trying not to doom scroll the coverage of this, but it's an undeniably bad situation.

The detention of Sam Hamdi is wrong. Yes the US has the right to not let him into the country, but Laura Loomer shouldn't have the power to scream until someone is detained AFTER passing immigration.

Sweet.

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Remember when baseball used to be a way to get away from politics? It's great to feel the excitement for the Blue Jays here, but guys... it's just a baseball series. It will have no impact on tariffs.

Ha ha! If the writer were a REAL fan, he'd know they were mini DRESSES, not mini SKIRTS. They're one piece! ;) The myth that Star Trek audiences are predominantly male comes from the focus on its "quality" demographic of "upper-income, better-educated" males. There's no actual data based on gender.

I mean, okay, the uniforms are great for feeding closeted gay lust, but... The Federation is a post-capitalist, anti-scarcity economy. This is bait, isn't it?

Boundaries are really hard. There are some people who live to bust boundaries. They act like you having boundaries means you're cruel or don't care about them. This is a sign they may not care about you.

I am completely and utterly DONE with the silencing tactic of "If you don't want to get harassed, shut up. I have free speech!" It's such an absurd contradiction that in a better world, it would get immediately shut down. But in this world, it's everywhere.

Why is "if you don't like someone, just leave them alone" so hard for some people to grasp? The particular sort of hate that convinces someone I am MAKING them and their friends harass me (because I dared to suggest that their impulse control is weak) is especially ugly.

Of course the guy I just blocked is a friend of one of the people I had to send lawyers letters to because of their over the top defamation. So their own friends are proving their defamation spread and it encouraged them to harass. But they lecture ME about accountability.

Just blocked someone for insisting that accepting that trauma responses result in uncharacteristic, unintentional behavior is "against the concept of accountability". The entire reason you rearrange your entire life to avoid being pushed into trauma is that it's the only thing you can control.

On this day in 1993, Joe Carter hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays at Skydome. They defeated the Philadelphia Phillies four games to two. It was the second-straight World Series title for the team.
