So Dems demanded an extension on subsidies or else. Then they caved. The GOP being smart is now adding abortion restrictions to a subsidies extension forcing Dems to either sell out on abortion or vote no on the subsidies they demanded in the first place. They just keep getting clowned.

Even AP is like "they caved for no reason" Like Jesus. What are we even doing. apnews.com/article/gove...

In case I was too subtle.: Terfs are garbage.

Migraines trying to keep a girl down, but I refuse. Back at it again raising money for food banks. I'll be streaming today until I'm too tired. www.twitch.tv/mizface

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

You know when you see people doing stuff and you're like "Yeah this is correct. You were born to do this." Absolute Mastery of Craft type shit. I think this every single time I listen to Daveed Diggs rap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0-k...

Actually, it's only Sharknado if it comes from the Sharknado region of France, otherwise it's a sparkling Blahaj Blast.

As the government shutdown stretches its way into the record books, Americans are feeling its worsening impacts. n.pr/4qXUWNs

There's so many State and Local races that have gone Blue. Across the country. This is what activists have been pushing for, winning at Local Levels. Build it from the ground up. I'm so genuinely fucking happy

I am SO PUMPED they've taken a page from what we did with the millionaires tax in MA. More states should.

I cannot stress that the work that people have been doing for years in the southeast is paying off and needs to be celebrated.

The Administration is complying with the court ruling to reinstate SNAP, but only half funding. And since the average benefit is usually $187/person per month....we're back at it raising food bank funds. www.twitch.tv/mizface

Thanks friend :) I'll be streaming ALL MONTH to raise Food Bank money. I'm trying to get at least $100 to each state. $75 raised today! Thank you to everyone who donated :)

The money is there. There are contingency funds. Trump is simply not releasing it because he wants people to starve and blame Democrats even though Republicans hold both chambers of Congress and the White House. And the media will happily go along.

The Dying PC Fundathon starts next month! My computer is dying and I'm going to stream about it :)

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

The ironic symbolism of the permanent defacing of the white house vs the impact of this administration on the country - feels like a plot point heavy enough to have been cut out in the Leverage writing room.

We've had free buses in my city for awhile now and it's only been a benefit.

The fact that every day I am forced to have to pay attention to another mediocre white man with delusions of grandeur is turning me into the physical manifestation of ExhaustedBenAffleck dot meme. www.huffpost.com/entry/seth-m...

Ortiz was absolutely loving this sitting between AROD and Jeter

I just got this blind text. What the shit is this. Hey folks, do not ever *sign up* to say you're attending a protest or rally. Show up or don't. But don't write your name down.

Hey PSA to my YT people out there but Auto-Dubbing using AI is getting automatically enabled on your channel and opting out of it is buried deep in the depths of your channel. Turn it off here: Settings > Upload Defaults > Advanced Settings

Go back this right now. WRASTLEVANIA on @BackerKit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/9...

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning. The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis. Everything is rigged.

Honestly “Republicans are shutting down the government to hide the Epstein files” is pretty good messaging.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

Two things I learned running larp this weekend: 1) I need to run more physical puzzles that are essentially sensory toys for adults. 2) PCs will eat the "meat" of whatever you tell them to if you make the phys rep Fruit Snacks.

every once in a while i like to remind myself that the internet is all bots and the people that sound insane are probably not real

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Good News for those of us in MA: "Healey counters FDA, makes COVID boosters widely available in Mass." (Link is paywall bypass for Boston Globe) archive.is/l7cYq Everyone else, go yell at your Governor.

Honestly, this may be one of the most important media graphs I've ever seen. The claim: Democrats keep using annoying words. The data: Republicans CLAIMS Democrats use them, which then becomes the narratives. Then centrists attack DEMS for things GOPer CLAIM they say, not GOP for making stuff up.

I'm back from Pennsic so stream is back on this week. Wed 6pm ET. Come hang out because I'm cool. Here's a photo I took at the awesome lantern merchant.

Hooooooooooomahgod. Absolutely the fuck not. Do not do this under any circumstances. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Still looking, still available for work. Job seeking in the games industry is rough as hell right now. 🫠

Next week I’ll be @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social talking tabletop stuff and helping @magicmissile.bsky.social with his Mad Maze of the Murder Mage actual play

CMS Newsroom emails are going to make me spontaneously combust soon. It's just....every fucking day with more bullshit.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Nothing like starting stream an hour later than you wanted to on launch day because the file didn't download correctly and you had to re-download when you launched the game on stream set-up, lol. *sigh* There's worse things, but it's really annoying.

I straight up added this to my Google Calendar so I wouldn't forget 😅

Hey so FUN NEWS. My Property Management *still* hasn't fixed my AC unit so it is currently too warm in my room to stream ✌️ I hate it here. Let's try tomorrow.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

The takeaway is not that electoral politics will fix everything. We know it won’t. Obviously. The takeaway is that people will show up if you give them hope & a way forward. And that, my friends, can & must look like a lot of things right now.

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

Not me giving twitch chat a brief introduction into mid-century Contemporary classical music composition to explain why a single joke in Date Everything had me cackling and yelling "what a niche fucking reference!" This game was made by nerds (affectionate) <3

This is super-important, so have a little alt text:

Hey all - I'm gonna postpone to Sunday. I've had a headache *all day* and I'm just so tired right now. BUT. Sunday means I can start EARLIER, so we can have more time. So I'll start around 2 or 3 pm ET. Thank you for understanding ❤️ #thatchronicpainlife
