Why was this not front and center two weeks from the election in 2024? The dem presidency had been dealt five of a kind by SCOTUS and this shit just sat in reserve? Spineless empty shirts. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Seeing screencaps of the Stranger Things finale and thanking all the fell and ominous powers for keeping Andor to two, tight, incredible, unforgettable seasons

There were real horrors inflicted upon rural communities by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, et al. And in just five short weeks of reading their social media posts you'll want to as well!

1. no it won't 2. they would lose 3. don't threaten me with a good time

Just a reminder, my next novel, Radiant Star, is available for pre-order wherever fine books are, uh, pre-ordered!

God help me I saw an EVE Online post and the siren calls

We are here at this moment in time with #ICE and #DHS because no democratic administration could be bothered to do more than increase their funding, remove more of their constraints, and make life worse because it would poll better in Bucks County.

House of the Dying Sun ($5.99) - tactical space combat where you're driven by the most potent fuel around: revenge. taking inspo from classics like Wing Commander and TIE Fighter, with ship controls that feel just right for cutting like a knife through space. store.steampowered.com/app/283160/H...

"Communism/socialism won't solve climate change, only capitalism can", well the back half of that sentence is true. Capitalism can solve climate change. It won't, but the capability is there. Just look back at every 20thC pollution crisis or the upcoming Western US water crisis.

A subathon, Stacy? I don't have a sub, let alone many subs that would necessitate an entire marathon of them.

I aspire to have Sciel's Fuck It, We Ball grace and energy #Expedition33

A few hours in and my main #ClairObscur criticism is why the fuck are there parry mechanics in this? The weapon bonuses are quicktime events. The big slam attacks are quicktime events. The levels seem 80% linear with gobs of healing checkpoints. Every enemy has unique tells and off beat timing.

I really love the energy of the Warhammer 30K community. Someone posting about bolters being better than volkite and why to take volkites is referred over to the competitive warhammer subreddit. Most of the responses are, "Because the volkites are cooler". General aura of disdain for mathhammer.

Sometimes I quietly laugh at some elaborate joke or well timed bit. Sometimes I struggle to keep the laugh quiet when I remember the earnestly delivered line "But I like dogs!" from Jupiter Ascending

Holy shit Wake Up, Dead Man. Incredible. The timing doesn't quite line for this but that shouldn't get in the way of a great story, which is that James Bond died for Benoit Blanc to live

If there only was a word for a governing system in which one set of laws applied to people of a specific race, and a completely different and much harsher set of laws applied to those of another race... www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

The dems are just going to run on "look at the other guys". They may win in 2026 and possibly 2028 but don't expect a coherent platform. At worst, they (further) go in on attacking the trans community and find out how unlikable they all are faster. #USPolitics #Democrats #2024Election

Beat the final stages of Alloyed Collective then looped through for a Mithrix kill. Turns out 12 syringes on MULT's nail gun makes every build good! #RiskOfRain2

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

As seen in action

🎶 Toss a coin to your Bitcher, Professional Haaater, Professional Haaater, Tra la la la Toss a coin to your Bitcher, Their takedowns are goooo-oooo-oooold! 🎵

Oh guess it's lesser evil time again. Not all of the dems were collaborators on the trans segregation part if the bill but 24 were. Remember kids, the last train a collaborator fills is never the last train to depart. Just ask James Comey.

The democrats are not going to abolish ICE or prosecute agents, at best there will be milquetoast reforms to go back to old status quo of brutal but quiet and out-of-sight enforcement actions. If you think they will abolish ICE I'd bet you are also surprised at DHS's casual use of munitions now

The discover tab is resistlib bullshit every third post. It's 2017 again but I have less hair now.

Listen to Remap as they talk about generations and the Muppets and after Patrick dropped (paraphrasing) "Rob, this is how boomers do it" I will now have Starsfard's "Every generation must know its own suffering" in my head when generations come up in convo

This new apple ui update sucks. Putting the ass in glass amirite

I know Age of Sigmar gets dinged for "flavor" now that the rules are simplified down again but holy shit compare that to the mess of layered buffs 40K armies get. Barely balanced, crutching along on obscuring templates. I want to break out Eldar and DG again but it just isn't fun. #warhammer

Very fun to be in the early 3040s and have people start talking about "strange new technology" on the battlefield. Some mercenary outfits (and their spinoffs) keep dropping weird lasers and SLDF era royal gear. Funny and cryptic quirks unless you know the timeline. #MechWarrior5

Will AI work to solve all of our problems? Do you remember when people were talking this way about Quantum Computing? Can you remember the last time you heard about Quantum Computing? It is incredibly fucked that media groups keep platforming new versions of MonorailMan. #AI #LLMs #BubbleEcon

As we approach 2026 and 2028, please be aware that the perfect is the enemy of the good! Also please ignore that your local neoliberal apparatchik deadender will never aspire to be even mediocre, let alone good. #USPolitics

Reminded of why I actually really dislike MTG commander get togethers: folks insist on playing huge multiplayer games with a mix of pre-con and constructed decks, the pre-con players get to experience playing maybe 12 non-land cards over the course of 3 goddamn hours. #Commander #magicthegathering

Battlefield 6 would be more enjoyable if I didn't match into the most cowardly teams four times in a row. You won't die in real life rush the fucking door. I can see the outline of the points using where the team is proning

There were too many violations of the Black Friday Accords this year, we're doing spooky season again #RattleEmBoys

So, uh, is the #nationalguardshooter Schrödinger's terror cat? We're technically still at war with terrorism, since the 2001 AUMF was never rescinded or repealed. And those were armed, active duty military personnel, deployed to occupy a city. But then it isn't terror, because it's war. (1/2)

Jumping into a 100 ton free for all arena match with the Highlander I just picked up, expecting a smattering of assaults and heavies. Then 7 misc mediums and two VERY optimistic locusts later I have won 2 million cbills. #MechWarrior5

Ah, finally, a CN9-AH now I can... well, I mean, it would be rude not to try the hatchetman the Skye rebels handed me. #Mechwarrior #Battletech

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Beautiful, unhinged, exactly what 2026 needs. #Balatro

As someone who has frequently defended free speech rights of sex workers and sex work advocates, it's completely unsurprising but nevertheless galling to be reminded once again how POWERFUL MEN talk fondly about sex work in private while demonizing it and pushing oppressive laws about it publicly.

Thinking of puns apropos of basically nothing and filing them away as conversational landmines, forgotten until someone steps on the trigger words #puns #dadjokes

Teen Vogue's political coverage 2016~ was one of the biggest, most impactful moves by a mainstream outlet to adapt to a changing media landscape, to actual do what journalism says it does by calling out power. I couldn't imagine why a big media company would want to dismantle that. Total mystery
