You can't say "our very democracy is at stake" and then vote to approve Trump's nominees and court mythical center-right Republicans by trotting out Meghan McCain. You need to be acting like Democracy is at stake. The fact that they don't understand this is driving me mad.

Why does EVERYTHING have an app, a club, a subscription fee, or all of the above? The internet was supposed to be fun, and now I have to pull my phone out all the time or I’m “losing money”.

They don't believe that violence isn't the answer. They just believe they should have a monopoly on its use.

Dear All-- I had an idea for an RPG show a couple of years ago, but I needed a few good nerdy partners and I found them. We've been working on this for over a year and in October it will arrive. It will be epic. What is it? Who is involved? Well, you'll have to watch this space to find out!

If you don't want people cheering over your death, don't spend your life cheering for theirs.

The Game Development Strategy Guide has been celebrated by early reviewers and has been selected by Kirkus Reviews for a rare indie spotlight in the October 15 print magazine. Just a few more days to pre-order before September 16. Press release: www.gamedevelopmentstrategyguide.com/the-game-dev...

Hello #RCCC!! I am open for business come stop by at booth B10!

Strange New Worlds semi-spoilers: An old story, very classic. But a very Star Trek one as well.

Hey #LA! I’m coming to you Oct 18 - 21 and looking for ideas for potential book signing venues for The Game Development Strategy Guide. Let me know if your Los Angeles / Culver City / Santa Monica / Hollywood store or group wants to talk or if you want to suggest something or someone. Thanks!

I am so, so, so tired of companies chasing tail lights. If I wanted the thing that big popular platform/game/show/whatever was doing, I would use the big popular one. You should offer something DIFFERENT, not the same thing!

Whomst among us did not use the thu’um dragon shouts for household chores Oh was that just me youtu.be/8_XMCSEYL6g?...

Efficiency of labour is not a thing we should strive for.

The dead are the lucky ones. Life is hell.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. freedomtobuy.games

Always remember this: no one in this life gets what they deserve.

The Game Development Strategy Guide is available for pre order from @rosenfeldmedia.com and releases Sep 16.

Censors hide behind big words they don't define. They say "sexual," and let everyone fill in their own definition. You don't have to cede the language to them. Just like you don't have to call a drag story hour, which is just the same Panto Dame that England's been doing for 300 years, "grooming."

Fireworks suck

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE STILL SETTING OFF FIREWORKS AT ALMOST 2AM?!

There is absolutely no reasonable justification for any government anywhere to allow the use of fireworks by private individuals.

We are LIVE on Twitch for an early-short Sunday stream pre-Pride parade - join me for BOOK NEWS and puppets and occupational hazard glitter 9AM - 10AM PT #gamedev #uxdesign twitch.tv/funnygodmother

A piece I illustrated today-who knew that our favorite spooky family's motto would remain so relevant. I'm going to get shirts made, but in the meantime if you'd like a print, head over to: www.rockettefox.com/product-page... 🤘💀 #art #illustration #addamsfamily

I was on a plane with Little Richard. He stayed on the plane after it landed to shake hands with all the people in Coach filing past his First Class seat.

I legitimately think, at some point in the future, historians will point to the iPhone as the beginning of the end.

You’re at a protest and saw someone do something that you don’t approve of, that might get them in trouble with the cops? No you didn’t. Mind your business.

So when I hear the voices of some saying that these migrants "broke the law" or that they just want people to "enter the country legally," I wonder if they ever stopped to consider why the laws exist in the first place. Why is the movement of a person from one country to another a crime? 4/4

So I guess the live tweeting trend has come to Bluesky and I hate it.

There is nothing as disappointing as unwrapping a granola bar, seeing a bunch of appealing brown speckles distributed through its form, then finding out they are chocolate chips, not raisins.

There are zero (0) societal needs that are best served by the profit motive. There are also zero (0) societal needs that are only filled by the existence of the profit motive.

It's weird how much Marvel lore I picked up just by playing Marvel Puzzle Quest.

Rogue One hits a lot harder after Andor.

Andor. That sure was a show.

“why are young people not interested in voting” OH I DUNNO

I really hope the Chicago memes don't last long. He was BORN there, but he's been working and living in Peru since the 80s. He is not "American" in that sense.

And now, for something completely different! Wondering how I ended up with a Twitch stream that features gaming & puppets? Join us for this walk down memory lane! The #MagicMafia streams at Twitch.tv/funnygodmother most Sundays 10AM PT. (This week is a short non-puppet stream due to Mother’s Day)

Alan Tudyk!

Like, I often wish we would ask ourselves whether anyone actually likes this phonified world. I don't. And we only got here because we tolerated it. Maybe we shouldn't.

hello! i’m working on compiling a list of charity compilations / albums / mixtapes where the proceeds go to palestinian aid. if you know of any, please lmk in the replies!
