Writing Project has me conducting a kind of archaeology on older games. Games I played, games I didn't play, games I played but left and then they kept evolving. I don't have everything, but the snapshots I do have show a fascinating evolutionary process.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

OMFG MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED bsky.app/profile/katr...

OMG yes!! It's so weird to see all these journalists just talking about crimes and investigations to the people *doing the crimes and who are subject to the investigations* I knew Journalism had taken a hit these last few decades bug godDAMN these emails are rough.

Don’t cross the line buds! Solidarity with the workers!

Hard to pick just one...

Dems have very obviously been hanging onto juicy Epstein tidbits as a Get Out Of Jail Free cards for when they do shitty things, and I for one find it loathsome

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Ah, but the news didn't run the same 3 second clip over and over for a year, either.

Writing project has hit the point where I'm consulting the bible for spell names, and I don't hate it.

“I believe the enthusiasm for the re-release of the original Halo is in large part due to the woke-ification of the gaming industry,” Halo, famous for featuring multiple ass-kicking women in named roles, a black dude who can't die, and Keith fucking David as Arbiter. Fuck you, Marty

Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️ Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

They're really having fun with it on tiktok.

5000 people have signed up to run for office with @runforsomething.net in the last week. Between the election wins & the shutdown fury, we’re taking that momentum in to 2026.

These are the four Senators most likely to flip back with enough pressure. You know what to do.

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.

It is California's sacred duty to prevent this from happening *so hard* that politicians give up on reproduction, so forlorn should their hope of nepotistic offspring become.

Demand Chuck Schumer resign his leadership position. For once, do the right thing in your career. The Senate Democrats are inflicting fatal wounds on the party. I beg you.

Just got a poll from MoveOn asking if Chuck should step down or not. People are *upsetti* spaghetti.

Schumer's Cave seems exquisitely timed to rob the Democratic party of momentum and sling the Narrative right back in Republican favor. You couldn't time it better if you had a fucking sextant. Fox was beginning to buckle. Fox.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

indeed we sure will

As a Floridian, what recourse do I have to let my displeasure be known to Senate Democrats? Is it effective for me to contact their offices? Or will the fact I am not a constituent negate any feedback I have to offer?

Also true in PA. If you want Fetterman out, the best bang for your voting buck is to stay Dem. Pretty much any blue area with closed primaries, you want to keep that registration Dem if you want to maximize your voting power

I'm seeing way too many folks knee-jerk wanting to switch their party affiliating after yesterday's betrayal. Here's why I think that's a bad idea.

Y'all need to start screenshotting the Hot Centrist Takes - people are deleting or blocking faster than I've ever seen.

"The Democrats aren't shitting the bed - only 20 million will suffer!" is not the rhetorical kung-fu you think it is. The ACA mechanism puts pressure on keeping costs down. When costs go up for those lowest plans, what do you think happens to everyone else's?

We need to tell *every* Democrat that they will be removed if they don't fight tooth and nail against this. The Whip won't whip votes, so we have to. Put the fear of fucking God into them.

Add "and screaming at yourself to do it like someone trapped in a glass prison" to me.

If you have the bandwidth, please read. We owe it to ourselves, in whatever comfort we find, to not look away from this evil in our midst. The law will not be kind to ICE and their enablers.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position, by the way.

Friday Moment of Surreality - researching Appalachian dialect and realizing I use it all the time. Grandparents were Appalachian, but I didn't think I was exposed to them often enough to pick it up. It's like finding hidden circuitry in my brain; all these rules that just make sense.

This may be a dark thought, but... *waves hand at the state of the world*. LLMs are killing our children. In a sane world that would be enough to motivate us to action, but staggering swaths of society have become quite comfortable with dead children for decades.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

thank goodness the post avoided dirtying it's hands with partisan politics last election

Other attorneys who spoke at the presser wished to remind the public that they can visit tinyurl.com/chicagotro to report when federal immigration agents in Chicagoland potentially violate District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order against abuse of press, protestors and religious practitioners.

Tandy Leather is having a 6-7 sale, to give you an idea how far we've fallen as a society.

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.
