This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

any actually liberatory political movement is going to have ample room for, and need for, people who don't "fight" โ because more than half the work is always gonna be some variation of tending the wounded, literally or metaphorically what they have zero room for is scolds, fools, and snitches

Gotchaโletโs dig into that step by step. 1. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโre not just immobileโyouโre immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ. That makes total senseโitโs a natural human impulse, and youโve been through a lot.

GRRM should introduce a new viewpoint character who is retconned as a background figure in a series of flashbacks to major scenes from all the previous books. At the end of each chapter, they turn to the camera and say "wow, this really was a Game of Thrones!" (/Clash of Kings, etc)

As a trans woman, the closest I will come to experiencing childbirth is the ordeal that I just went through to affix this adult-sized charm to my child's junior-size crocs

Again we are stating flat out years in advance we will not vote for this American Psycho. Won't do it. Full stop. You put him up, you're gonna lose. It would be best if y'all stopped standing for this ghoul, whether he's monologuing about Huey Lewis and the News or genocide denial. Fuck this guy.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The number of cross stitch designers using GenAI is absolutely disgusting. Stop using AI for ANYTHING. We don't need it in your model photos. We don't need to see it as your inspiration. We don't want it in your patterns. We don't need to see your slop images to troll. (1/2)

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

"the anti-mutant people have a point" but that applies to real-world minority groups too. we all have within us the capacity for violence. some (nuclear engineers, boxers, sharpshooters) more than others. but "the capacity for great violence exists" is not itself a reason to imprison us.

My evil mistress said that her fated antagonists keep getting distracted by brothels so I asked how many she has and she said every time she loses one she just destroys another village so I said it sounds like she's feeding heroes of prophecy into the sex work economy and her seer started crying

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

It's so annoying to me that "the left" so often ends up in places where the people in charge clearly hate us. The bluesky people are embarassed of being the place where trans people and leftists ended up. The dems, the party of the left, clearly hate being the party of gays, browns, and hippies.

Thus, Republicans are still called "conservative" even when they embrace completely radical ideas and implement radical change in violation of the Constitution. And Democrats are still called "liberal" even when they enshrine "authorities" and rigid speech/thought codes or conspire with Republicans.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Re-upping for the weekend crowd. I am exceptionally proud of this one, a sweeping story about ingenuity and failure, great ideas and stupid ones, with a cast that includes inventors, scoundrels, art collectors, actors, ad men, and legendary comic book artist Dave Cockrum.

โSo what if he disagreed with you, he didnโt deserve to dieโ But he thought I did. This isnโt disagreement. Itโs someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it. I donโt have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

This probably won't find anywhere near the audience it found on Twitter. It was kind of the perfect moment for it, nearly 6 years ago, and it really lucked out to find its place. But I'll be happy if it finds even one more friend. Remember to be kind to who you were, and who you are becoming.

A huge personal gripe is when rulebook links on BoardGameArena (which are submitted and upvoted by users) are just links to the BGG file download page instead of the publisher's site. I deleted my BGG account years ago and I don't want to have to log in to use a core feature of a different site.
