I support the Colorado Democratic Party's censure of Polis. But that's not enough. The General Assembly should reconvene to investigate and hold him accountable. And if he commuted Tina Peters' sentence at the behest of Trump, surrendering Colorado's sovereign authority, he should be impeached.

Some people might wonder, why did we decide to unionize at Magic the Gathering: Arena? Our union started because those of us working on MTGA were frustrated with our working conditions, and like many of you might do with your co-workers, we talked to each other about it. #uwotc-cwa

If we'd spent the AI money on trains, we'd be on the brink of having the greatest rail system in the world. If we'd spent it on green energy, we'd be close to phasing out fossil fuels. If we'd given it to poor people, the economy would be booming and the poverty rates would be at historic lows.

Your mom and dad love a show called Keebler Ranch and you can’t look it up, there’s no information about it, but 30 million people watch it every week and there’s a line of frozen entrees at Walmart called “Gus Keebler fixins”

Hi folks! My current job search is fast approaching one year. It's been very frustrating, but I keep going out there every day to keep at it. My funds have run out, and I must ask for help. Thanks for any support, whether by donating or sharing this around! I love you all! gofund.me/ee0862677

Funniest possible outcome for the TERF fight. I took longer to write this post. I hope Gina goes home and sobs into a pillow. I hope everyone who tuned has to watch Yellowstone reruns tonight instead. bsky.app/profile/zoew...

Will just reiterate that in the many years I covered Polis closely, he never showed particular interest in the topic of over-sentencing, nor in criminal justice reform generally. This decision would read a lot differently if Polis had any sort of record as an advocate for clemency.

Jared Polis has spent the past several years vetoing or otherwise undermining progressive legislation while praising RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement. There is no 4D chess here. He's just a Republican with a D next to his name because Republicans can't win in Colorado. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

I was talking to my mother on the phone and being brought up to speed like an ER doctor’s debriefing at the start of a shift.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

If you want to find the Definitive Millennial Song, you need to go systematically. First you find the median birth year of Millennials, which is 1988. Let's use a window of 2003-2005, which is when the average Millennial was roughly 15-17 - peak late teen song-meaning-making years.

I just found out the Seattle Mariners have a pitcher that’s just straight up plural and he’s ludicrously good apparently this is all I’m gonna be able to think about

That's right, Kamen Rider Nadeshiko! 🫡

It is truly fucked up that Muna is one of the best pop groups--queer or straight--around AND all three of them are so god damn hot in completely different flavors UNFAIR

I GET TO GO TO MY FAVORITE PHISH-THEMED RESTAURANT TONIGHT! And I don't love it JUST because of the Phish theming, it's a really good restaurant overall, I swear!!

in order to remain sane in this moment you have to be both the woman in the blue jays hat AND bluegrass tony

I don't mean to brag but Internet keeps giving me cognitive tests where I have to identify traffic lights and school busses. I'm pretty dang good at them, too! It's nice to be able to help colorblind people or whatever with my staggering genius.

So many people are willing to question everything capitalism tries to sell them, right up until it comes to body size, and they're all "but being fat is unhealthy!" instead of analyzing where that idea comes from and who profits from it.

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

Broke: Mina shouldn't have ripped Harley's shirt >:( how crass! Woke: Harley is fully aware of her comically huge boobs, and she can do whatever she wants with em Bespoke: Harley should put squeak toys in her bra so her boobs meep when she gets clotheslined or takes face bumps

Case in point: these are not the actions of an agency which is organized enough to engage in mass-scale pogroms of trans people. Words are cheap, mass state violence on a minority group when your approval ratings are in the 30s is expensive.

The biggest problem with my job is that I'll come across, say, about a hundred 16" transcription vinyl records from WWII, and I won't be able to leave them behind at a garage sale, but now they're sitting in my garage, I can't even lift the bag of them, and they're damn near impossible to ship.

It's time to take some edibles and read through old Spider-Man comics from the very beginning. Really fun to see Peter Parker immediately running into real-world problems like "how can I cash a check as Spiderman"

WotC will not do the right thing without YOUR pressure. Stay informed, stay supportive, & sign the union's open letter. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

this game is so silly

Grocery stories narrowing their aisles and switching restocking from nighttime to daytime have made grocery shopping go from "barely tolerable" to "autistic nightmare."

Shoutout to my friend Wade who pointed out that with the overwhelming global popularity of One Piece, Alan Moore’s prediction in Watchmen of pirate comics overtaking superhero comics has come true

No trope makes me dislike a character more than "overprotective mom who won't listen to their kid's perspective, especially when their kid is obviously correct." I have no sympathy for these fictional moms!! Kids are people!!

If you took all the money wasted on Gen AI and paid real human beings to create real art, stories, animation, movies, science, history, education, even code—we would be living in an unthinkably explosive Renaissance of beauty and knowledge. Not to mention a truly Biblical economic boom.

"Pack the court" was a great idea back in 2020 or so. At this point, we need to toss out the entire structure of the federal government and start again.

True facts: after a year on estrogen the bimbofication faerie comes around and asks you to name all the sports teams. If you get any of them right, she zaps you with her wand and now oops is it Boston Blue Shoes? The Leprechaun Boys? Who cares, they aren't pink or frilly. bsky.app/profile/park...

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

YES! About time. Good work, WotC fam! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You know what's good? Colors. They're all good in their own way which is nice. I'm glad there isn't some weird bad one like with smells.

The mythology that trans people are universally self aware that we are trans held me in the closet for years. I found myself, and my freedom, and my gender, when I learned to stop worrying about what gender I "inherently was" and instead started asking myself what I actually wanted from my life.

*shaking hands after a game of Magic* Them: GG Me: Good Girl to you as well!

being trans rules actually and the only downsides are deliberately manufactured by cis people

I still haven’t recovered from this Mars nerds stay seething, best planet in the universe and it’s not even close

Brianna Wu: "I hate my life. I hate being me. No, it's not because I'm a cruel and evil person, it's because I'm trans, and therefore I think we should use eugenics to murder all future trans people."

Super cool how I spent a few hours doing comprehensive write-up of my weekend at Sphere for the Phish subreddit and half the comments are people saying I used AI to write it. Why did I bother getting an MFA and writing a column for 10+ years? Fucking bleak as shit.
