In the early 2000s I worked at a trial consulting company, and it turned out one of my coworkers was the designer of the Car Wars turnkey. Super nice guy, criminally underpaid for his creative work, hence the day job. I'm very aware of how super niche this is 😊

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

My dudes, this is how I know that voting matters. Conservatives wouldn't be putting this much effort in gerrymandering if it didn't give them results.

Here it is. The final 24 hours. You've helped coax banked embers into a steady flame. Tell me, what is one thing you'll bring with you into What-Comes-Next? Seeds? Thread? A good kitchen knife? What will you make of what's left? Together, let's light up the world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

It's EOY wrap-up season but here at IGRC World HQ that just means we'd better push out all the mini-reviews we didn't do all year long. 38 short reviews of what showed up on our doorstep in 2025. Is your favorite game in there? Looking for something new to play? Big year. Much books. Wao.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Happy Wednesday! Here's a larger piece. I had fun painting this one—in the new year I'd like to get back to working bigger. 🎨 Miss Helen mixed media on 18 x 24" canvas 2024 Sold #ArtAdventCalendar #art #artists #ArtLovers #Chickens #ArtSky #BskyArt #BskyArtists #painting #ExpressiveArt

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

We're taking two actions tonight with Scientists in Solidarity—urging our state officials to arrest ICE agents who break state laws, and demanding the release of Leqaa Kordia. It only takes a minute, and every letter helps. actionnetwork.org/letters/stop... secure.ngpvan.com/6U1ygBt6eUK-...

We watched this yesterday, and one of the things I like most about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is that he doesn't do the usual politician thing of using any question to just repeat talking points. He responds with specifics and a clear depth of knowledge and commitment.

Trans people don’t owe you femininity or masculinity. Non-binary people don’t owe you androgynity.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

56 years ago today, the CPD / FBI assassinated Fred Hampton. Hampton brought together the Black Panthers, Young Patriots (white Chicagoans with southern roots, based in Uptown, who flew the Confederate flag), and Young Lords (Puerto Ricans). The FBI saw (and sees) multi-racial unity as a threat.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

Ok, so the pitch for Yeld is this: Kids fall into a portal fantasy world of wonder, but must escape before their 13th birthday, when they turn into monsters. There are other good things about it too, but I just want to appreciate the quality of that pitch.

PSA: me not commenting on something does not mean I am "complicit." First of all, you need to log off and touch grass. Secondly we are total strangers so call your therapist. Thirdly there are 1,000 things happening every day and I am busy. Finally what exactly do you want me to do about it?

#over/under was not one of a kind. I have been playing similar games for the last EIGHT YEARS. Today, I give this medium a name - "Live Text Roleplay" - and help you build a community of your own. www.valerialoves.com/how-to-repli...

Suddenly the people who claim democrats can’t define a “woman” are having a real tough time defining a “child”.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

So, just keeping score here, all the slapdicks running around with guns in the woods to "fight off the faceless stormtroopers" actually love the faceless stormtroopers, and all the "fight the elite pedophile conspiracy" kooks actually voted enthusiastically for the elite pedophile conspiracy.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

I've been playing around with the new Affinity Studio since it was released. TLDR; It's good. Very good. How long will it stay that way? It's still too early to tell. Some background, my first impressions, and my wishlist are all here: www.explorersdesign.com/affinity-imp...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

You say “scam text message”, I say “creative writing prompt”.

I just have a lot of shit to say about this creature getting more press for being semi-coherent than any Democrat ever does for doing the right thing: catvalente.substack.com/p/are-you-th...

Funny how a lot of the people who oppose gender self-identification are the same people who self-identify as Christians without following any of Christ's teachings.

Fedora Noir is a roleplaying game in the style of classic film noir #ttrpg #ttrpgs

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
