"Unity of the left means compromise" No, motherfucker, unity of the left means having each other's backs.

There’s something about this, looking at Trump’s sneer that now no one is watching Colbert, the realization that there are a lot of people in power who don’t understand the pleasure of doing something because it’s something you enjoy doing and do well, as opposed to getting more power.

Trump seeking vengeance and it backfiring and driving his own party into pieces feels like the best example that the idiot knows nothing and plans nothing

I spend a lot of money in hobby gaming not because I think I, myself, will *play* everything that comes across my doorstep, but because the community all hangs from a verrrrry tenuous set of financials. (I have seen dev balance sheets that would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood...)

treating conservatives like legitimate adults continues to plague us. none of these people, regardless of country, can be considered seriously. the tolerate everything doctrine doesn't work

Funny how the NYT never runs polls asking if the Republicans should move more towards the center, innit? Funny how nobody ever asks Republicans if they'll consider moving to the center when the President's polling numbers are under 30%.

this is a philosophical trap. yes, the nurse in Queens should pay taxes- that way they get a equal say in how we run things. The mega rich should pay *more* instead

The great @philosophizethis.bsky.social is doing a run on Alastair Macintyre's books right now and it’s lovely synchronicity. The very rich have removed themselves from “the community of giving and receiving”. They are the apotheosis of the individual.

Hey internet! You know how you love to be mad? Well now is a great time to put that skill to use and contact the FCC.

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

kill me now

The DOJ is considering settling Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, which could send about $10 billion in taxpayer dollars directly into the President’s pockets.

ending my weekend feeling like I continue to be a waste time to go to sleep and work i guess

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

fucking idiot didn't even stop to run it by the countries whose bases were involved what a embarrassment

it's complicated, but, i think it still has a aesthetic and stylistic use case, even in our post-web layout reality. it falls in and out fashion, you can subvert it, but i think it is like the three act structure in television and film; so much has been built atop it, it's a great starting point

Farmers weren't lied to, they legit wanted a racist real estate fail son in charge because a lot of them look at Trump like one looks in a mirror

I don't know where I'm going with this. I just think it's crazy how everyone just knows family farmers are poor & need to be saved. But they've made more money than non-farmers (yes, AFTER farm debts & expenses) every single year since 1997.

So my buddy @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is doing a poll about favorite TTRPGs. But he needs a signal boost beyond his own fanbase. So, for science (or simply for Bob, because he's a nice guy), can you take a minute to do this simple, 2-question survey? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

checking out the latest zillion-dollar 5e Kickstarter from Avantris Entertainment, "Neon Odyssey"? why not read my in-depth review of their last outing, "The Crooked Moon," while you decide?

In one way Filoni's sensibility is Snyder-esque - garbled copies of striking images you've already seen, deployed toward glancing off straightforward themes; but Snyder's work has an obvious sincerity which Filoni is not burdened with.

Tell me you eat at the strip club’s buffet without telling me you eat at the strip club’s buffet.

Headline correction: Trump raising a illegal tax on cars and trucks

do i need it? am I under control? can i beat it? if it swallowed me whole would I see it? i can make you feel alive i know but do i need you to survive? #altcomics #illustration #art #artsky #indiecomics #horrorart

Uh-oh.

I kinda sorta didn’t want to live in a empire that has given up on giving a shit, yet here I am

If you insist. :) www.drivethrurpg.com/product/2792...

I teared up reading this. Jake really did my story justice and understood my message, when I could have been very easily treated as "just a joke" Let's do this, y'all Time to fight for trans rights with the powers of science and whimsy combined! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧬 💖 @beyondxandy.bsky.social

Sometimes people ask for more empathy from others, but in truth, I don’t think being empathetic makes evil any less evil. Sometimes empathy just makes you more ok with evil than you should be

Trying to determine is self loathing is a form of selfishness, and if so, something loathe about oneself

Trump and Vance really did try to make it all about themselves which is pretty telling

…what in the ever loving fuck. Can’t one of you just tax the billionaires and regulate this shit already

JFC, dude. It’s an illegal war!

"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?" My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote:

I'm not going to spoil anything but y'all may want to keep an eye on @desertbus.org on 4/20. 👀

AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter. And I think today was an important turning point

Yes! It’s a big problem!

Had a good playtest session of mutation nation tonight. I’m fairly certain my mad fitd/fate core superheroes game so far is something only I can run But sometimes we do get really fun sessions out of it

Chuck Schumer has so much blood on his hands. Fucking collaborator.

No. God fuck no.

The gall of you people. None of you are victims. Stop acting like you’re the ones hurt by your crimes

The last ten years have felt like being trapped in my own body when it comes to politics. Even when give power, those closest allied to me decided to squander that power instead of preventing this situation. Then people have the gall to think voting them into power is enough to fix this

You need to understand, this has broken me. The bulwark against the rich and powerful eating our forests like they’re candy is gone. This is vile. Trump needs to be removed.

I don’t… this is hell I don’t care anymore, they fucking won. He’s decided we can all burn to death come summer

Go figure, that entire established order thing

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Following tonight’s madness, perhaps solar and wind seem less unstable compared to the whims of old grifter

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
