People think progressives hate democrats. We don't; they hate us. When a democrat comes along not acting like the fool and actually responds to the moment, we like them very much. Mamdani is out there showing the estabdems the right way to do this, and they didn't even support his run.

Gavin Newsom is the Ted Cruz of Hilary Clintons

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

"A.i." is not inevitable. We do not have to "learn how to live with it." It's a faulty, destructive, disinformation-pushing, environmentally destructive product pushed on us by right wing billionaires, and we can ALWAYS say HELL NO. gregpak.net/2025/12/19/i...

Any who does not have abolishing ICE as part of their platform does not deserve a single vote.

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Can't help but notice a protracted recent silence here that suggests this belief may not be consistent. Curious!

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Short version: I made #5 seed in VA (yay!) but I'm not playing the IFPA State Championship because Harry Potter is on the games list and I very much don't want to play it. Full performative virtue-signaling navel-gazing statement below with alt-text. #pinball #ifpa

Oh hey remember Infinite Craft? Found this screenshot in my junk drawer and it cracked me up. I love the short story the right column tells. (the game is here: neal.fun/infinite-cra... )

Wow I had no idea it was actually true that vampires can't see themselves in the mirror

I will never forgive Joe Biden for helping Clarence Thomas get onto the Supreme Court. He was better than Trump but that bar is somewhere in Hell. Joe Biden is the poster boy for the lack of morals that has destroyed the modern Democratic Party and alienated so many voters.

All of @jessiegender.bsky.social’s work is amazing, but I think this recent one on Billionares hypocritical love for Star Trek is one of my favorites youtu.be/V-7Spf1cLpU?...

We won't begin to roll back the tide of fascism until white liberals come to terms with the fact that tens of millions of their fellow citizens actively, knowingly, support racist Gestapo policies. Tens of millions of racists were not deluded or misled. How will you adjust your strategy accordingly?

Awesome new ink! My favorite Trek crew will live forever in my heart and also on my arm. @mikemcmahan.bsky.social

Today would be an excellent day to cancel your subscription to the holy goddamn New York Times

I know y’all hate to be marketed at but I put together a short promo video of my pinball leaderboard system. I think it’s neat! :)

Didn’t get around to Portal until a couple years after release. It’d be my fav now. At the time, I was all-in on WoW from the first beta thru the next 7 years or so. Was GM of a 500-player raiding guild and top 10 worldwide in my class/spec. Thousands of hours, but the love just faded completely.

This is how Facebook chose to communicate to me a number going from 530 to 545. This degree of graphing sin should be a FELONY: The absurdly narrow y-axis. The insane three decimal points of precision on a unit that can by only be whole numbers. The inexplicable rising precision of the Y.

Won both the Carpool League and Pinball Basement League this week! Should net me about 90 WPPRs. Feels bittersweet, with how empty and meaningless those points seem now. I do still love competing and playing pinball, though. #pinball #ifpa

All I wanna do Is get all my news through A giant woman (a giant woman)

I've been screaming about this for a decade. Conservatives spent the last 30 years dictating their ideology and actively indoctrinating old and young alike. Dems spent it stroking their chins and nodding sagely at idiots in diners spouting talking points they got from Fox News.

I was teaching in austin during this race, and another teacher in my cohort was dear friends with Jessica Cisneros, the woman running against him. Pro abortion, pro-medicare for all, immigration attorney for RAICES. And the dems backed her conservative opponent.

Racists think "racist" is a slur used to hurt white people, justifying that opinion with the claim "you think all white people are racists" but in fact the foundation of this opinion is that racists think that all white people are racists.

"I can't imagine raising a baby without Chat GPT" should get you exiled from Planet Earth, just you and your laptop. (Baby stays here to be raised by humans.)

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

New video today! Why Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other wanna-be Silicon Valley gods love to cosplay Star Trek, all while stealing the very future they idolize from us all. “How Tech Billionaires Turn Star Trek into Fascism” youtu.be/V-7Spf1cLpU

if you still use twitter you support white supremacy

#silksong is the best game I've played in years. Also the most challenging game I've ever gotten to 100%. I really appreciate that doing so is just beating bosses and getting all the tools and abilities, no "collect all 900 pinecones" BS. This took me about 80 hours. PHENOMENAL value for $20!

happy thanksgiving i made this for you youtu.be/INZybkX8tLI

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

Pretty good game on Star Wars: Fall of the Empire.

Dropped out of college to join the mid-90s dot com boom in northern VA. Worked my way up by lying my ass off on resumes and frantically learning to code on the job. At the time, startups were so desperate for coders you could just do that. Did well. Retired at 45. Now I collect and play pinball.

The emergency brake on this train says "FINE FOR MISUSE" so I guess it's okay if you want to mess with it

These two official statements from the IFPA make it blindingly obvious that the OBX Flippers Tournament results cannot be counted without blatantly defying their own stated rules. This should be so easy.

as much as i disagree with his politics, i do think the next james bond should be adam carolla. interested in hearing everyone else's thoughts though

no money for politicians

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have played in that tournament before, and tonight I am (scheduled to be) playing week 4 of a league run by Kevin (Carpool, Arlington VA). This is the first I’ve heard of this incident – I self-disconnected from local/FSPA pinball social media a while back...1/4

@jonbois.bsky.social / @secretbase.bsky.social hey y'all, I think we got a new contender for Saddest Punt in the World after the Democrats actions tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9H9...

Just leaving this here.

When Leftists say voting for Dems is pointless, I understand why many get upset, but they are talking about this exact kind of thing. Yes it’s upsetting but they keep being proven right.

It’s amazing how satisfying it is to beat a boss or area that seems impossible at first. The slow and steady accumulation of skill is something so many modern games don’t understand how to facilitate and encourage. I agree with both of your operative descriptors: Silksong is a rewarding masterpiece.
