This is particularly fun when he’s deeply asleep on the couch and won’t respond to me trying to get him back to bed. Gotta be REAL patient when I check for a pulse, since even his digital watch sends him “are you dead or just sleeping?” alerts.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Smartest thing I’ve seen on here. That putrid ghoul doesn’t deserve the attention he’s getting, and I won’t give him another second of my thoughts.

Gods, 5 minutes and I immediately remembered why I don’t go on my personal FB anymore. The ignorance, the fake religiosity, and the absolute idiocy of so many people from past eras of my life is too much to bear, and it infuriates me how awful people I once considered friends are.

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

Listen

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change, shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding, & support. For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we're sharing resources for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available.

A world of adventure and danger awaits—and the only thing missing is your heroism. The Pathfinder Primer Bundle supports Take This.

"2013" if I can impart anything to younger folks, it's how the ubiquitous animosity towards millenials was crazy- it was constant, like a joke everyone kept making. Like whatever jokes there are about gen z, it was ten fold back then, you couldn't escape it. I wonder a lot about how much that did

Always, forever, and any time. It’s an honor just to be nominated

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

"3 devs with support from a few contractors" I counted 110 people or companies in Silksong's credits. And that's just those credited. We all know not everyone gets credited. Especially when it's just a company name listed in lieu of credits. So tired of this faux rags-to-riches narrative.

If you've been wanting to get some #Pathfinder materials, now is definitely the time! The deals in this bundle are amazing, and of course, proceeds are going to @takethis.org. Check it out!

I’ll be at Palo Alto bish

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

We've made it to the final day of PAX West! Today is your last chance to pick up something from our Hope Booth AND to get a bid in for the ultra-rare Pinny pin we have on auction (bit.ly/TakeThisPin). Plus, don't miss the return of ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dragons at 11am!

The IRS wants Americans to weigh in on Direct File, the agency's free tax filing program. We already know Direct File has been widely popular and successful. The program could save Americans billions annually between filing fees and time costs. www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

Reminder that James Cameron became a Stability AI boardmember because the Avatar VFX crew unionized. This is who he's always been, just look at the Aliens documentary and how angry he was over the UK union mandated breaks.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Me hosting trivia: “Here is the website and code you’ll need to log in.” [gives website and code 3 times over the mic] *3 seconds pass* The table next to me who did not stop talking the entire time I was making the announcement: “what do I need to do? Did you say a website or something?” 😑😑😑

YESSSSSSSS Oh the highest form of complement. Gah, I do miss streaming and I miss hanging out with y’all!

The SCOTUS is corrupt as hell...

bsky users gotta go back to the mindfulness rules of -dont screencap losers -dont quote post losers -dont make memes about losers BLOCK , MUTE AND MOVE ON dont waste yours or your followers time 👏😤

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

This is true of SO MUCH creative work and its relationship to social media and independent production. "Here's a tool to make and share work easily!" quickly became "The traditional methods of production and distribution are withering away so actually you HAVE TO do this on your own!"

Reading through hundreds of games journalism headlines from major outlets and revealing the gaming press has effectively stopped covering the paypro issue made me visibly mad on stream

Finally, some good news

Finished Death of the Author. So many feelings, but a big and obvious one is boundless gratitude to @nnedi.bsky.social for this novel. I needed it. Tonite, I’ll fall asleep with this refrain: “I have come to understand that author, art, and audience all adore one another…creation flows both ways.”
