Well this is amazing. Starting with the 2D fighter bounce and ending with a dizzy that will lead up to a not-fatality. Just aces all around.

The theme of this year is Madame Guillotine, but non-authoritarianly.

*If* the federal government actually retreats in Minnesota, I will never, ever let anybody forget that it was the people, not the courts, that made them do it.

Unionize the games industry, stop chasing number-go-up, build actual institutional memory, and replace half of games management with people who game dev as a profession with workers. This kinda thing is just straight nonsense.

Conrad is now on Bluesky and you can watch his dope video here.

Yakuza franchise: Man has drugs? Recast him immediately, he's a terrible influence. Also Yakuza: Man sexually assaulted multiple people? Cast him immediately for authentic creep factor.

Woooooooooow. Iunno how Trump's gonna godking when he won't pay his enforcers and his lawyers are being worked to the bone on terrible legal arguments.

Let this man go. Just let him go back to doing his job. He's not a danger to anyone or anything.

My friend Conrad Blackburn is running for Assembly in NY and he's the real deal. Just watch this video, it goes hard! And if you live in NYC and you have questions, my guy will literally be on the corner of 125th and Lennox every Saturday. As he likes to say, together we can, together we must!

I join literally everyone in wanting to see Miller go so bad.

Just to say: You can be happy Greg Bovino is out, and that ICE is starting to leave Minneapolis, AND continue to call for the dissolution of ICE/DHS. Take a little victory lap and then keep on the pressure.

I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

Absolutely wild that Bill Kristol has better politics re: ICE than Kathy Hochul.

Very interesting to me that Kristi Noem just said in her press conference that Alex Pretti was presumptively trying to kill federal agents because he was (legally) carrying a gun. Now apply that standard to every Republican voter legally carrying a gun in public.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

ICE must cease to exist. It is a killer agency. It is another expression of the slave catchers of the past. It is an American gestapo. It is filled with people who think this is both a game and the cleansing of this country of impurities. Abolish ICE and make reparations for everyone they've hurt.

The Saint Paul City Council has declared that today is a day of Truth & Freedom in Saint Paul. I have so much to say about today’s economic blackout and the work happening across the state in response to this occupation, but it boils down to this: I’ve never, ever been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Hochul coming out against New York for All and saying ICE shouldn't be abolished is very Hochul.

Champion of the herbs?

Becoming a member of a union has been one of the more radicalizing experiences of my adult life because what do you mean the majority of Americans raw dog capitalist employment? Support union efforts to protect there members here:

Everyone says melt ICE and I am asking for sublimation.

ICE shot a woman in the face last week and Newsome chooses now to walk back his statement? He's not him. He will never be him. Find literally anybody else.

The Association of Legislative Employees is rallying tomorrow to demand the release of a detained central staffer. Tell ICE to release them and then to go kick rocks.

Absolutely awful and intolerable. I don't have anything to say except that antisemitism is a terrible thing, and it is a hate that is never the only hate a person has.

REGIME CHANGE 🇺🇸

In all seriousness, what is the body count of this administration? Between dismantling USAID, RFK Jr., ICE, and murdering Venezuelans, the number must be absurdly high, particularly for being one year in. Whatever the number is, it's unforgivable.

There's no rhyme or reason to which Dems do this on any given nominee, and they never explain, because it really is as stupid as they do it to game metrics so they can't be tagged "most liberal." It's not because Republicans care, they don't need them. It's not a tactical maneuver. It's just dumb.

Like, they're all bad, but what the hell is Amy Klobuchar doing?

Deleted an earlier post to make it clear that Renee Nicole Good's son still has a living parent despite the death of his father in 2023 and the murder of his mother today by ICE. That boy, and his step mother, deserve all the support in the world. Again, abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

Begging NY's senators to speak about ICE shooting someone in the face and killing her like human beings and not like, well, /senators/.

While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too. Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.

The SAVE program is paused forever because the President doesn't have the power to forgive loans, but the President can definitely kidnap heads of state and kill dozens of civilians without any Congressional authorization in contravention of the Constitution. I live in a very normal country.

The number of Dem electeds who are generally okay with us just kidnapping another country's leader but are maybe annoyed that they weren't briefed beforehand is entirely too high.

This statement is a travesty. It would not be all good if Congress had been briefed so they knew the answers to the questions Jeffries poses. It just straight up should not have happened. Just say it should not have happened. This is a legitimating statement, not one of opposition.

Our juiceless vice president trying to convince everyone that the US definitely didn't violate the law since we definitely have jurisdiction over a foreign leader because we indicted him. That's not how that works.

I just want to remind everyone that a functional declaration of war and regime change, even if they do provide a distraction from the president's sex crimes, eradication of healthcare, and deportation machine, are not a "distraction" in the media sense.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Let’s be very clear: Trump’s bombing of Venezuela is not about drugs or democracy. It’s a war crime. We must stand firmly against this illegal and belligerent act of war. No war with Venezuela!

Where are the forceful condemnations from Jeffries and Schumer?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

No war. No Congressional authorization. Just, you know, bomb enough civilian boats until the vibe is "I can maybe kidnap the president."

This isn't an area of law I know, but we can't possibly just kidnap the leader of a foreign country and force them to stand trial in the US. Like, that can't possibly be a thing!

The mayor of New York absolutely loves New York and every person in it. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Having a kid is like going from a consensus driven deliberative system to an executive and unicameral legislature. Suddenly there's this person that can veto anything, but you can usually override it if you have the will.

There will never be another NYC mayor quite like Eric Adams.

Happy Mayor Mamdani, New York!

Millennial socialist mayor, let's goooooooooooo!

This is basically the reverse of the New York City Council, which shot up from 65 local laws in 2010 to 185 local laws this year. Local and state government is where stuff happens. As opposed to grandstanding and constituent vilification in Congress. *Original image with alt text in next post.*
