Odd how, if you train an AI to not be “woke”, it becomes bigoted. 🤔🤔🤔

Some of you hate Democrats more than you love the Constitution and it shows.

Wait there are TWO judges named Ho? This is too far

However big Sassoon's resignation is, I think Emil Bove's letter accepting it is a way bigger deal. "You have lost sight of your oath... By suggesting that you retain discretion to interpret the constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president"

At some point Democrats will need to notice that appealing to virtues of independence and moderation and bipartisanship and norms has won them nothing. Even Biden's presidential win is probably chalked up to sentiments about covid

Invisible rulers was a great read, and I agree that probably the best way to combat the "bespoke realities" issue we have and get people back on the same page is a widespread education effort. Anyways, the MAGA movement seems set on getting rid of the education department. We'll see what happens :/

MAGA rn: Diversity: “Boooo bad, only strict qualifications (as defined by me) matter!!!” Loyalty: “Yes, perfect, this was in fact the only qualification I cared about.”

in all seriousness, yes, this moment needs everyone to work with each other - even the people you find annoying - before it’s too late for any of it to matter most liberal/left schisms simply do not matter in the face of the threat from the far right and I wish people would spend less time fighting

real communists vote for the democratic party

Politicize everything. I don't care anymore.

EVERY Democrat needs to be yelling "this is a tax. Trump implemented a tax on Americans. Americans are paying for this" No matter what they're doing. Ask a Democrat about birthright citizenship? Answer, and then go "oh and by the way trump just implemented a tax" every single line, every single day

What do they think the court injunction is?? Do they think the judge was like "the federal funding freeze is fine, but you wrote it down on a memo... Big yikes guys..."

@notalawyer.bsky.social so when you applying for those new media press credentials? Lol

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

It's a really delicate balance to not just turn off the news and ignore everything and let conservatives do whatever they want, and to not just become depressed with the state of things. I don't think I've struck that balance yet

Could you imagine if Biden had fired the prosecutors who worked on the Hunter Biden case?

@hankgreen.bsky.social this all is a bummer. Please make me feel better.

Jesus Christ we're just addicted to losing aren't we.

People keep saying the martial law is over and the coup ended. Remember everyone, the law is not self-executing. The assembly has declared the martial law declaration to be illegal and demand it be lifted, but it hasn't yet. We'll see whether the president actually follows the law.

Talk to me when Biden pardons another 142 of his allies. The we'll be talking trump -on his last day of office- levels.

I'm sorry I can't bring myself to care about the Hunter pardon. I get to be a little selective of my outrage when the pardons ran rampant during the trump administration.

It finally happened. @ifbookspod.bsky.social is going to do an episode on a book I thought was good. Thomas Frank, did you lie to me? I just want to talk.

The attempts to be "fair" to the trump administration are already happening and are already swinging way too far.

I sometimes think that, given the media environment we have and the institutional damage we are going to suffer over the next 4 years, that getting back to a place of progress and trust will be a slow grind over 20 years. That's very disheartening to me, but it's work that must be done

In addition to being awesome and playing tons of board games with me, my partner makes jewelry! If you want to see more of her stuff or reach out to her for customs here is her insta page www.instagram.com/mythicroseje...

One of the games I picked up at the Con flea market was Anachrony! Finally got a chance to try it out and I get why it's so highly rated. The theme is great, the time travel mechanic is fun, there's a lot of variation. It's a top tier worker placement game. #boardgames #anachrony #kublacon

So if I got this right, some random twitter user made up something about Comcast selling MSNBC, and then the presidents son and Elon musk made a joke, and that's been the story for almost a week now?

Wonderful news, but I still want that ethics report. We'll see who the next pick is. Kenneth Chesebro?

My cat often looks like she is having Vietnam flashbacks #cats #catsky

Another game I got to play at #kublacon was Kanban EV! A fantastic board game I think. Vital lacerda makes some of the best heavy euro-style games, I love them all. This one is about designing, prototyping, and upgrading cars. Just make sure Sandra is happy! #boardgames #vitallacerda #kanbanev

I assume jokes about the death of people aren't allowed on Bluesky. Picture and link to a terrible article is unrelated. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

I mean conservatives should WANT this, right?

Yeah if only people who are worried about a possible dictatorship knew about the 22nd amendment, all their fears would be alleviated

Oh my fucking God. Can you people stop already. It was just inflation. It didn't have fuck all to do with "too progressive" or "too centrist" or "too hawkish" or whatever your personal pet project is We have the exit polls. It was the economy. Like every other incumbent in the entire fucking world

I've gotten dragon age inquisition off my list of games that I bought and then never beat. Next up is elden ring! After that I'll let myself get a new game. Probably veilguard

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it. It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

Next game I played at #kublacon was hegemony! Immensely fun game about class warfare, which is both hilarious and too real. Each player has a different set of goals, from working class trying to increase prosperity via healthcare to the capitalists trying to... Make infinite money #boardgames

Unfortunately, if the Democrats do this and elections are just "pick between these narcissistic sociopaths with no experience" for the rest of time, I may have to commit sudoku

The answer to "who will he nominate to this post" has been "the dumbest possible choice" so far every time. I'm locked in. This one has to be right

I've said this before but there needs to be more effort dedicated to doxxing the ringleader Nazi accounts on Twitter. They're not going to simply evaporate now, so we need to know who they are

The vibe is Bluesky is very thoughtful, friendly, and respectful even in disagreement. I hope that energy continues next year as this place slowly transforms into a place to share information on shoe mending, how to drive around militia-controlled regions, and how to thwart detection by DHS drones.

Next board game I played at the Con was Weather Machine. Huge game about stopping extreme weather by researching and experimenting in a steampunk lab. I love vital lacerda games, but this one might be below kanban and on Mars for me. Still liked it a lot! #vitallacerda #boardgames #kublacon

Time to bring out the scaramucci unit of measurement again!

What's crazy is with all the other fascists, roughly half the country supported them. Yet we can't seem to watch out for the signs. Piers even uses this as an argument. He can't be a fascist, half the country likes him!

Wait infowars was bought by the onion?? Thats quite the content combo

Tucker Carlson as Press Secretary. Calling it.

Share this if you like board games. 👋🎲 With over 700,000 new users on Bluesky, let's all find more wonderful tabletop fans to follow!

If anybody here is a #SWU #StarWarsUnlimited player let me know, I want to follow you all

Just got back from KublaCon this last weekend, and got to try out a bunch of games! I'll be posting thoughts on them here. First one was a small one called "the crew" while my group waited for the last person to get there.
