They’re trying to start a civil war so they can enact emergency powers and cancel the midterm elections because they know fair elections will end the illusion that they have the will of the people

I always feel like this in the winter. And pushing myself too hard doesn’t help. So maybe this will #sad #seasonaldepression #seasonalrest #braidingsweetgrass #hibernation #hibernationnation #selfhelp

Down with “I can fix him” Up with “I can fix myself”

Fun game: guess which sociopathic famous person I’m talking about before checking the thread!

This is awesome!

How's your day going?

(frantically working the Lament Configuration) come on, open, damn you

Yet another friendly reminder that generative search/AI Overviews regularly hallucinate and are not to be trusted. Guitarist Kenny Hickey is very much alive.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Recorded this video for a company that shall not be named. This is how I feel about 2025 and what I'm looking toward in 2026. #SpotifyWrapped #Wrapped #VLog #Musician #lifeofamusician #singer #singerlife #indie #rock #alternativerock #curlyhair #messyhair

How's your day going?

Very excited about this

Suddenly I realized yeah yeah yeahs are an amazing band www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcjP... #indierock

Have you ever thought about the idea of load-bearing personality traits?

People who have let birds are a special kind because they’re like “I’m just going to have this tiny dinosaur in my house at all times”

I started getting small but steady listeners on Apple Music. Sometimes more than this, even! It’s been going on for weeks It’s the first time I had steady numbers instead of a new song bump that trickles back to basically 0. It feels great no matter how small it is! It’s progress! #alternativemusic

This is the biggest sales day I’ve ever had… so far! Thanks for helping me pay my bills! #gamedev #gamedevlife

This is so true. I don’t hear enough people saying it. The people with the most power, mostly tech titans, are all the worst people with the least value to society. We need to change the way our society is organized so we can all live better lives without their petty interference

Nothing tastes as good as boycotting an evil company feels 😈

I made this shirt for my Halloween costume! Check out the time lapse.

If we all bought used we could take our power and economy back from the elites #democracy

Google forcing you to have YouTube installed on your phone to do 2 factor authentication on desktop is diabolical #lockin

We have a long fight ahead. It's a marathon not a sprint. Taking care of ourselves and each other is of *utmost* importance or we'll get burned out. This time around, I'm trying to be more balanced. Less doomscrolling, more action. Less internet activism, more organizing in community And fun too

Noticed a growing trend of people calling criticism of AI "bigotry." This is basically just "I'm not a eugenicist, you're a eugenicist!" Classic rhetorical tactic of the right ("aren't the anti-racists the real racists?" etc.) For context, the author of this post is an engineer at Buesky.

kinda nice to just have a real dog shit stinker of a take we can all make fun of. "Your callous mockery of our biggest spreadsheets smacks of hitler" is pretty good

Enshittification is getting so bad, apps aren’t always more convenient than real life. If it keeps getting worse, people might abandon doing everything through phones. Maybe we’ll start going outside more and meeting people there #enshittification

Yes. And it needs to be open source (like Mastodon) so it can't be bought, controlled, or silenced. Bluesky, unfortunately, has the same problems as everything else. Open source social media is the way out of the media consolidation mess #opensource #mastodon

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Boycotting Disney for standing with Fascism is a great opportunity for us to support creators who dare to either make great things that break boundaries or speak the truth when the mainstream only cares about money. This could be a great moment for our culture

We need to support people who speak the truth and get punished for it. Otherwise people will be much less likely to speak the truth. Can we support her?

Please share this post! Sign up for lectures. We need to arm ourselves mentally.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

@tabsout.bsky.social How do I get my cassette reviewed on your podcast?

Called it

Made this poster and then walked around, putting it up to promote my band's *first* bar show!  #LosAngeles #NightLife #singersspotlight #losangelesmusic #livemusic #alternative #alternativerock

Why am I suddenly craving chocolate milk at 9:27am?

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

… This is why the Republicans are rigging the system. Their racism and “conservative” or regressive values won’t survive otherwise. The Republican Party is dying. They know it. Rigging the system to make voting impossible is their only way to survive. Texas is the last stand. Let’s stop them!

More concept art I made for this awesome #Kickstarter #RPG with a #gameboy aesthetic

This is what I’m talking about when I say the enemies are super creative. There’s a lot more where this came from!
