God, this song reminds me of Steve Goodman, in the best way. Thoroughly recommend it (unless you're trump): music.youtube.com/watch?v=8q3F...

This is what country music is supposed to be.

@ironspike.bsky.social Are you going to be playing the new DLC for Crusader Kings? I know you've enjoyed that game, and I saw this video and it looks like a LOT but quite fun: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTJO...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has released a resume portal via his transition site, offering jobs for people of all skill levels “to help build an administration of public servants that will drive down costs and keep all New Yorkers safe.” www.transition2025.com/apply

Should I wait in the zoom for you to get back, or should we reschedule?

That moment you realize that if the Blue Jay's manage to win the world series, a Canadian team wins. After his tantrum today, it would be delightful if Trump doesn't get to congratulate the willing team.

This is one of MANY reasons Dropout.TV is doing as well as it is. If you're looking for REALLY entertaining content, I would thoroughly recommend checking them out. I'm a particular fan of Game Changer and their new comedy crowd work show. www.youtube.com/shorts/vp9W-...

Chicago's "No Kings" rally and march has ended after thousands filled downtown. “The power resides in ‘We the people,’” one volunteer said. Read the full recap: https://to.wttw.com/3WIsqkP

there is iiiissssssssss, look at it go

I was holding one of the 3 poles in the back! God, it was exhausting, we held it since 11 am. Collapsing now

Chicago Illinois: #NoKings ginormous copy of the Constitution is carried by the protesters.

First one to sign in Chicago! Trans right are human right, protect the constitution! I'll be one of the people carrying it during the March, wearing an American flag like a cape.

Stay safe today everyone, let's get out there and let them know how we feel about this administrations actions! Remember: stay peaceful, be smart, don't escalate.

If you're planning on going to the No Kings protests tomorrow, please consider watching the below official video. It provides important info/tools to handle any issues that might come up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BcA...

Really great analysis of a REALLY important issue(s). Thoroughly recommend watching. If you're looking for a great summary of these issues, watch this Video.

For anyone going to No Kings, remember your rights, and remember that the Right will be looking for ANY excuse to demonize them, the less we give them the better. Stay Peaceful, be smart, don't escalate. Let's make them grasp at straws trying to portray this as anything but what it is, Patriotic.

Tomorrow is really important, and there are a lot of roles for people to play, even people not able to go to the No Kings Protests. Have a friend/family member going? Look up legal resources in case they're detained and offer to be their one phone call (and stay close to the phone/be reachable).

A friends sent this to me, a few things to keep in mind: 1. No mainstream media have picked this up yet, we DO NOT know how accurate this is. 2. There is a VERY high chance this is just a scare tactic, and the Admin. leaked it themselves to shrink crowd sizes. dailyboulder.com/americans-pa...

hopefully won't be necessary, but if anyone want's a good video on how to handle getting Tear Gassed, this one is really good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxdw...

In preparation for this Saturday's No Kings Protest, here are some great safety tips from last No Kings Protest.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This does absolutely matter, Dick Durban was one of the Senators who last time helped break the filibuster to avoid shutdown. If you live in Illinois, make it clear what you want from your elected officials.

❗ Illinoisans, we need our Democratic senators Dick Durbin & Tammy Duckworth to HOLD THEIR GROUND. Dems must continue opposing ANY budget deal that lets Trump's healthcare cuts take effect or hands him a blank check to keep terrorizing our communities. Take 1 min to email them via our easy form ⤵️

Times are tough right now, but dang, it's fun to be a Chicago Cubs fan right now, a lot to be happy about (also ecstatic that PCA had a great game, love that kid). Here's hoping they have a great series against the Brewers, the post season continues! Go Cubs Go!

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Yea, I get why people wouldn't understand why Emma would do that, but I do get it (admittedly I'm often too forgiving), but for me it's not about their feelings towards me. Kindness and compassion towards someone who might dislike or even hate you isn't to me a bad thing, not when it costs nothing.

Oh no we found Mackelmore's Wario: Wackelmore

Siiigh, god damn it. Charlie Kirk does NOT deserve to be a Martyr. Personally, I believe that political violence like this is corrosive and inherently damages the causes it proclaims to support. As terrible as he was, I didn't want this to happen, and it's a genuine tragedy.

Let's GOOO. Proud to be a Chicagoan. ...mind you, I do NOT assume this isn't a fake out to cause some of us to lower our guard. But if not, glad they got the message. The Nation Guard is NOT welcome here (tho if any of them wanna come vacation in a non enforcement capacity, welcome! Lots to do)

In case you need a little cheering up this morning, here's the Muppets singing Bohemian Rhapsody: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbN...

Used to love shopping at target, genuinely miss clothes shopping there, BUT...doesn't matter WHAT you do price wise/goods wise. Until you admit your mistakes removing DEI practices and start reversing those decisions, I won't be buying. PERIOD. www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/b...

Remember, there's still time to stop the "Brutally Bad Bill". If you live in, or have any family/friends who live in a Republican District, you/they can use www.5calls.org to make a quick and easy call! For everyone else, there's a phone bank this evening: www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

Some days, like today, I cannot find hope. I try to tell myself that maybe change, real, honest, positive chance can come from this, but it's really hard...not giving into despair. I'm just going to post this, in the hopes it helps someone, find that hope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8...

I'm hiding behind the two poster stands (Will technically I took the picture but now I'm hiding behind them)

Absolutely terrible day for the supreme court, AGAIN, god what a disgrace. Republicans may end up regretting it come a Democratic President (we hope). In the meantime, at least there is still the path of class action lawsuits, though I have no idea how that change will impact litigation.

Ok, so if she's telling the truth that means: 1. The report was completely wrong. 2. This completely wrong report was Top Secret/Classified. 3. A low-level position had access to said top secret/classified info. 4. They're really upset about the leak of totally not accurate information. Nonsense.

"the DM finds this amusing, you may live" thank god cuz we are fuckin children (red ink is mine, regrettably)

Siiiigh...well shit, that's going to HURT a lot of Trans youth...I REALLY hope that for other cases, the Supreme Court will make a better decision (I 100% understand being a skeptic, I am too but Gorsuch did side with a Trans employee who was fired in another case) www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

Sometimes you have got to just stand up and say ENOUGH. We've got to keep up the pressure, make it clear all this is NOT OK, NOT NORMAL. www.youtube.com/shorts/Jaa8q...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

News footage, shows exactly how MASSIVE this was. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE-p...

MASSIVE protest/march today in Chicago for No Kings day! Was exhausting but worth it. Can you spot me? They're estimating 20k were marching, but honestly would not surprise me if that was an under count.

These two photos are such a great compare contrast

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Great moment from a Ravenloft D&D game I'm in. Fantastic DM and absolutely great players ^_^

The Onion's still got it

Great take by an insightful, really funny (not so much in this video tho) creator. Check him out! www.youtube.com/shorts/n834f...

This absolute icon at Canterbury Pride 🩷🤍🩵

ok, so despite my anxiety about what's happening in LA, I am SO HYPED for this: I LOVE both the Expanse and Mass Effect. Please oh Please be good and allow for you to pick your gender during character creation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQi...
