When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

There are over 1000 TTRPGs in this incredible bundle for an amazing cause! $10 gives you a treasure trove of good games *and* good vibes. itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

I never actually read 1984, so put the Orwell quote about eyes here.

you know things are bad when the republicans are sending out DNC emails

Sitting here hoping the outcry will get Discord to reverse course because the amount of fucking work involved in migrating a decades+ old community to another messaging service made my soul sink into the ground

I've been hearing more and more about people checking out Element, or Stoat, as replacements. Yet another platform to start looking for open alternatives to!

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

[previously in the NYT] Hart: i've sold AI to to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook and by gum it put them on the map NYT: wow! sounds legit! Hart: and look! i've got your nose! NYT: OH MY GAWD NYT: are you a wizard??

I’m also seeing calls to cancel Nitro and send in a complaint via their support form. I highly suggest doing all three. Reply below has the latter

Seeing how many people defend stuff like this when it’s the most overt Trojan horse scheme I’ve ever seen has been incredibly disappointing. I genuinely don’t think you could’ve convinced me this was the future in 2010.

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.

Don't get defeatist, write support tickets, feedback, emails, let them know this shit sucks. Cancel your nitro until they reverse this.

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

"Teen-by-Default" is such a hilariously grim way to talk about your userbase like, usually companies aren't this up-front about how they think we're all dumb children.

Oh by the way - I am of the mentality that it is your right and duty as a consumer and citizen to bully companies and politicians for stupid moves. "But won't the other side do it too?" They already are. Get off the moral high ground. Use focussed bullying.

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

Something else I think about is how much these AI prompt jockeys are stealing the experience of writing from themselves, they don't even realize what they're losing out on, cos writing is wonderful and you can grow and learn so much about yourself, the process is a gift. They're robbing themselves.

Cancel your nitro, flood their mentions, and if those don't work and you can move, do so. I'm looking into Matrix.

hey guys time to cancel nitro

The problem is the squares aren't using any (Said the guy who doesn't use weed but I wont stopnyou if you're responsible)

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

... maybe I should make more games.

I don't know who needs to hear this... You make your own day. Put on something that makes you feel confident. Do something kind; pick up litter or hold open the door for someone. It doesn't have to be a huge project. Every day these small actions make us FABULOUS ~remember... YOU ARE FABULOUS 💖

I spent the last two days in excruciating pain and todsy in louder but less pain. This is bullshit. I hate chronic conditions.

Did a lot of thinking since yesterday. Reminded myself of a lot. I've been prioritizing a lot of people, a lot of them important, but not putting myself first.

Today is hard. I know on the grand scale people have it worse. I know that. I also know that, metaphorically speaking, I feel like I'm at two life, tapped out, with maybe three cards left to draw. Metaphorically, I am down to three HP and cantrips. I don't know how to refill this tank.

These guys know what's up. @mohoanimation.bsky.social

Just to be 100% clear about what Pizzagate/Qanon was, it was nonsense designed to distract from contemporary reporting during the run up to the 2016 election, such as multiple the multiple allegations Donald Trump was facing, and silence those conversations. It was designed to protect a pedophile!

THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker. The finger-taker claimed to be a persuadable man. www.the-reframe.com/the-finger-t...

*taps the sign*

I'M THE SCAT MAN

AND did you know that for that $60, the library can either offer the book for a certain amount of time or a certain number of checkouts before they have to pay for the book all over again?!

I should probably post more stuff about writing and game stuff here. Like I've said... at least five other times.

Usually I don't, but lemme add to the pile: I was doxxed (thankfully w/ wrong info) because someone thought my 2001-2005 Sega docu wasn't nice enough to convicted felon Yuji Naka. I was...quoting Naka & his colleagues At least now we know why Swen wore a suit of armor to the Game Awards: He's soft

By the way he's not mad. Please do not put it in the newspaper that he was mad.

returning every immigrant interned at cecot and replacing them with ice agents is the moderate position

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

"I do not want your justice where innocent people die" -Esteemed Nazi puncher, Kamen Rider Ichigo

“The white supremacist administration, in an excess of bloodlust and rage, has therefore decided to treat white people in the city as race traitors, subject to the same kinds of violence and smears as non-whites.”

Damn, have I been wanting to do my lore dives that long? 2019? I really need to get more into this.

I just thought everyone should see this

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

THE NAZIS DO NOT CARE They're not pro police they're not pro children they're not pro law and order they're not pro american THEY ARE VIOLENT VILE WHITE SUPERMACISITS WHO WANT A FASCIST COUNTRY THEY RULE That's it, that's literally fucking it.

Because I haven't seen it anywhere else today, I really want to make a small note that Leah Mills's January 6th photo is one of the best journalistic photos taken so far this century, even purely on the artistic merits. It's very fucking good. www.reuters.com/investigates...

This is a weird story. We do not have military control over any of the country. Why would they be allowed in? Why would they be allowed their freedom?

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi
