baby decided it was sick of waiting and came after 15 minutes of labor yesterday. all the nurses say shes crushing her goals and she’ll be fine (knock on wood). Jillian feels great and came home today! sadie is happy. anyway, welcome to the world, vriska diabellestar rothschild!

Takes longer for the message to reach some people than others but this is a soft, pampered baby who has never done anything for himself and has never had a real problem. He might as well be an alien

The president is a person who would be unable to survive in this country if he had to live independently for a day. He wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store. Never mind applying for a job. What good is he to us

Shoutouts to maintaining a 0% WR even when her own fascist allies have completely taken over the government. An absolute legend.

this is literally never not accurate

www.dsausa.org/chapters/ btw if you too are just so over this shit and would like to meet with a group of people also over this shit and starting to make moves to be done with this shit find local chapter, see if they do orientation meetings (many offer it over Zoom so you don't have to travel!)

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

"The wisdom has changed from 'You should make more expensive games' to 'Oh my gosh, make much less expensive games.' It's such a climate of fear." @joelburgess.bsky.social on the constant outside pressure to "de-risk" a game's design. postgame.substack.com/p/what-its-a...

I really do think this is true. Rockstar leadership deciding to fire 30+ union workers and the workers deciding to fight back is going to be something we look back on as a turning point for our unionization effort.

Okay man. Call for Schumer’s ouster as senate minority leader or this post means nothing.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

Witche and Vampire

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Chuck Schumer out of a window

got reminded how fucking good the intro to Return to Zork is. just a suckerpunch of a transition

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

What it feels like to watch Democrats constantly cave to Republicans. @teamfourstar.bsky.social @kaiserneko.bsky.social

Tonight was a very bad night.

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

For some reason I cannot remove this picture from my posts. Keep trying to restart the app but it’s not working. Must be a bug.

I don't even really know what happened in America now, but judging by the timeline, the reaction is just

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

just learning about the united states democratic party

This is the future leftists want

Still laughing that the first thing the Cons top brass think to do when one of their MP's cross the floor is stomp down to that MP's office and remove all doubt form that MP's mind that he absolutely made the right decision. Pollievre is an absolute clown

I know it pales in comparison to the diaper in chief to the south, but I really can't see the Cons rallying around Pollievre again for another election. He is just such a petulent child. youtube.com/shorts/FxBh1...

Chicago has fallen to state-sponsored gang violence. The police do nothing to stop it. The gang's name is ICE and it must be destroyed.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Happens every election cycle. Evil corporations who rely on the poorest shoppers to survive support the bozos who want to hurt the poorest shoppers, and then are shocked Pikachu face when their sales suddenly crater. Get prepared to see Dollar General, Walmart and Family Dollar absolutely hemorrhage

I have never had any desire to ask questions of The Machine That Gives Wrong Answers

This is 100% not someone who has been trained to use a gun. He's waving it around nervously. This is insane

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

I love video games.

It's so funny how this miserable sack of shit loser of a murderer is this level of completely pathetic. "This mayor of a city in a country I'm not a citizen of won't talk to me. Wah! Wah! Wah!" Just a sputtering, crying, muscous leaking baby in a shit filled diaper.

Mamdani is going to implement Saria's Law. Children wandering the Lost Woods without a fairy will be turned into stalfos or skull kids.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
