If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

I understand an argument has been made about why to stay on the former Twitter. Here is my counterargument: It's a miserable fucking place run by a fascist catering to fascists, and I've been much happier not being on it, so there

I’m in the new edition of Beverley Life! NB other publications are available and welcome to interview me. Speaking of which, I did mention @paulhandley1973.bsky.social by name, so maybe they were running out of word count. I do talk a lot.

I still love the degree to which Baldur's Gate 3 feels like I get to play the character I design and have that matter. To the point that if my first two characters met, I'm certain they would fight. Great thanks to @yasosume.bsky.social for another stunning commission.
