Defund. Abolish. Prosecute at every level.

Greg Bovino won't see your mean posts about him but your short king friends will, and they will laugh their asses off because that dude is a fucking clown.

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices. ... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.

It's not a luxury - it's a duty.

Cops aren't supposed to murder anyone, but it is especially heartbreaking when you know the world is immediately worse for their absence.

💯 and... It's important to recognize that even those who are doing evil are human. ICE goons are humans. Trump is human. Even Hitler was human. But that shouldn't prevent us from defending ourselves and our communities. It should not prevent us from seeking justice and demanding consequences.

Hey, on the ground in the twin cities, I think this site has the best breakdown: www.iceoutnowmn.com the 3 rules for folks in the state: No work, no school, no shopping

Last night I had to talk to my son about what would happen if ICE came to our town. He is stressed out about that possibility. We are not immigrants, but he knows they tear gas schools and abduct kids and shoot people. ...

This is so fucked up. That man is a citizen with no criminal record! They did not have a warrant. The people they were supposedly looking for do not live there and have no connection to that family. Even if he were an undocumented criminal, he would still deserve clothing!

No war for ego.

Bounty hunters without specific targets would be a bad system even if you had well-trained, reasonable agents in a lawful agency. In an agency that recruits the worst people and trains them badly while simultaneously claiming absolute immunity, it's catastrophic.

If you read one thing today, it should be this Iran report says 16,500 dead in ‘genocide under digital darkness’ www.thetimes.com/article/01ba...

i found some great places to donate using the list put together by @ziibiing.com don't give your money to consultants for some vague promise, give it to people who will go out right now, today, and buy a car full of groceries for a family that's too afraid to leave their home.

I was inspired by @kierongillen.bsky.social to pick up Deathmatch Island and I'd like to run some online (zoom + roll20) sessions of it. Let me know here or in DMs if you're interested. I live in the central US time zone and I like to play for 2-ish hours at a time, nights (8-10 PM) and weekends.

Little known fact: the colon is the ancient internet emoticon for finger guns, seen head on, held sideways, like a cool guy does it.

"If injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go. Let it go per chance it will wear smooth. But if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say break the law." - Henry David Thoreau

Defund. Abolish. Prosecute at every level.

Mappingdeportations.com from @zinnedproject.bsky.social is one of my favorite new resources for understanding the current mass expulsion efforts in a historical context.

Is 48-words enough for the text of a journaling game that'll stick with you if you play it? I think so. Check out my entry to the #48wordRPGjam: paulczege.itch.io/you-said-what 🖊️📓

If you have a friend that misses the G+ days, please resky

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

I've been thinking a lot about that "Thin Blue Line" mentality the past few days. Cops are more in sync with ICE than with their own communities, and that's a BIG problem.

My final response to this survey: Generative AI, like crypto, is just a pyramid scheme that needs new investors so the people at the top keep getting paid. ...

The absolute white hot rage I felt as I read this. Thousands of people in the streets protesting state-sanctioned murder and bootlickers writing angry emails are not the same! Somebody please slap some morals and ethics into this callow, feckless mouthpiece! ...

I needed something to take my mind off the world so I finally got around to watching The Thin Man on @skepchick.org's recommendation and it did not disappoint. 1930s testicle jokes had more class! "I read that he shot you 5 times in the tabloids!" "Nonsense! He never got close to my tabloids!"

Watching Minneapolis police chief whine about anger towards his officers! Motherfucker, stop protecting the gestapo! Start protecting your neighbors!

I saw the video. She was trying to drive away and they shot her in cold blood. Cops lie. ICE and DHS lie even more.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

RPG thoughts. In Dark Souls, "human" bosses are like 12 feet tall. In a book from a few years ago called Munmun, peoples' size is linked to their bank account. Unsubtle critiques of inequality ensue. What if gaining XP (gold for XP implications) or levels made you big? XP/levels are diegetic. ...

Nostalgia is a helluva drug!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Sharp edges, legible fonts, cool swirly sparkles inside, and supporting a worthy cause? They're definitely speaking my language!

I do not click on Substack links. Substack is a Nazi bar. If you took the principled stance of boycotting Twitter because of its Nazi problem then you should also take the next step here.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Great resource for figuring out what games might work or not for you if you know what you like as well as providing some common ground to start from when discussing games!

I think this says everything you need to know about engagement metrics.

Hilarious, but also 😳 Is this where we are? Are we stripping dead bodies for parts not to further science and medicine, but to make old peoples' asses tighter? The fuck?

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

Spoiler for the final season of Stranger Things: I refuse to engage with it in a critical capacity; I'm just enjoying it for what it is, but I do have one complaint. Will is not a Sorcerer. Will draws his power from an extra-planar being. Will is a Warlock. 1/3

Hey gang, I put up 50 community copies each for solo games VOID 1680 AM, No-Tell Motel, and Lighthouse at the End of the World, AND for my two-player game Wayfarer 1. Grab, play, share, enjoy. bannerless.games/voidam bannerless.games/ntm bannerless.games/lighthouse bannerless.games/wayfarer1

I've been drinking a lot of decaf lately because I'm always around old people with heart problems, but today I got a pint of fully-leaded gas station coffee, and wheeeeee! I forgot that caffeine is a DRUG!

I think that's icky if it goes unexamined but my main D&D campaign is explicitly this, including the problematic elements inherent in it. The colonial power is a Roman empire that never fully fell, and lots of other anachronistic stuff appears as well.

This is what they don't want us to see. None of the information here is likely to be new to you if you've been following the news at all, but seeing the young men and hearing it from their mouths is different. That's what they really don't want - for us to acknowledge their humanity.

ICE whistles work.

If my car isn't working I don't ask the car to explain the problem to me; I go to a mechanic. So anyway, about the crisises of toxic masculinity and male loneliness...
