I consider it a pretty moderate & reasonable position that when a person or government threatens death against members of systematically disempowered communities, the sole correct response is: "You first."

god these fascist freaks are such fucking losers like like yea this is also horrifying but like so deeply rhetorically embarrassing too

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

Every new demand for his resignation makes this manifesto cover 10 times funnier

I became a father to a beautiful baby boy last week, the greatest honor of my life.

The Labour Prime Minister started announcing Enoch Powell policies with Enoch Powell speeches, losing a quarter of their base to the Greens & doubling their results, all because of that tiny red line in the middle (which wasn't stopped anyway).

Last week, workers at Magic The Gathering: Arena came together to form the United Wizards of the Coast-CWA union. We stand in solidarity with UWOTC and encourage everyone to sign their public petition calling for recognition by Hasbro. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl... Solidarity forever ✊

🗳️ The Green win in Hackney's Mayoral election is extraordinary when you look at past results. For the past 22 years, Labour have won every single Hackney Mayor election by at least 25pts. In 2026, they lost to the Greens by 11.7pts. x.com/LeftieStats/...

IM BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN

The Slay the Spire 2 x Anita Sarkeesian discourse is perfect. Lost soldiers with marching orders from basement generals, first inspired by Epstein affiliates. "Saving" gaming by calling for an indie dev boycott, all for the crime of "tricking" them into enjoying something the Boogeyman helped make.

WotC will not do the right thing without YOUR pressure. Stay informed, stay supportive, & sign the union's open letter. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

Sooooo roll call for MagicCon Amsterdam? (The fact we're not calling the GP "Tulip Throwdown" is a damn shame. The trophy should be a golden tulip. The players should sit in giant tulips like those teacup rides at Disney. The top 8 should be posed like Rembrandt's "The Night Watch", with tulips.)

"The grass is always greener on the other side" is capitalist realism propaganda.

Donato Giancola shows this in part of the post Cal screengrabbed here, but it looks like the ring on Frazier's One Ring was pulled from Marta Nael's borderless scene card variant, flipped+edited, and slapped onto (what I assume is) a Frazier background. An uncanny resemblance. What the actual fuck

WEAR RED AT MAGICCON! TALK ABOUT THE UNION! SUPPORT THE WORKERS!

Happy International Worker's Day! Today, we hope to hear from WOTC and Hasbro on whether they will voluntarily recognize our union. Going to MagicCon? Show support by wearing red on Saturday. Can't go? Send us a picture of you in red instead! Keep the signatures coming! cwa.org/uwotcletter

@umactually.dropout.tv IN LONDON? WE WILL BE SEATED!

🚨 The Renters’ Rights Act comes into force tomorrow. It’s a set of new laws designed to rebalance power between tenants and landlords, making things more secure, more stable, and fairer for England’s 12 million renters. Here are some of the highlights:

Hey @magic.wizards.com 👋 Recognise the union, yeah? Please & thanks!

Hasbro have apparently hired a notorious union-busting firm in response to the Magic the Gathering Arena teams attempt at unionisation - Reddit mods have deleted the post If you haven't please sign the unions petition actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

MAY A THOUSAND UNIONS BLOOM!

🚨 MAGIC PLAYERS! 🔥 If ever there was a more apt need for The Gathering, now's the time! Show your solidarity! Help your fellow workers win! ✊

IN OUR HANDS WE HOLD A POWER GREATER THAN THEIR HOARDED GOLD. GREATER THAN THE MIGHT OF ARMIES MAGNIFIED A THOUSAND FOLD. WE CAN BRING TO BIRTH A NEW WORLD FROM THE ASHES OF THE OLD. FOR THE UNION MAKES US STRONG!

Filming begins 🌳

The geopolitical equivalent of having shat your pants 10 feet away from the bathroom, & deciding that simply standing still & continuing to shit will produce a new & splendid solution to your predicament.

The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.

After they failed to break us with cavalry during the Bristol Patriots' last march, the A&S pigs swarmed in &: - punched me to the ground - beat me with batons - maced those trying to stop me getting trampled I had my hands up, holding my Bible, the entire time. They're addicted to violence.

Antifascists like me kept saying, for a year and change, that Avon & Somerset Police's political decisions and use of force to enable Bristol Patriots would end up with someone dead. Well, the cops got what they wanted.

Fuck it - I'm gonna start streaming chess next week.

There are Cathedrals everywhere, for those with the eyes to see them

Monty Python's "Judean People's Front?!" sketch remains, infuriatingly, topical & accurate almost 50 years later.

Heh, not so much of a Viktor now, is he?

Ah yes, the "Tap all my lands only to bolt myself whilst my opponent's win-con is on the stack" joke. But as geopolitics.

Over 500 arrests at Defend Our Juries peaceful demo in London Even an ex-Met boss has come out and said the force's treatment of Defend Our Juries is "not practical". Yet hundreds were nicked, anyway. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2026...

I don't think there's been a more perpetual shambles than Your Party. Every day it proves to be a lightning rod for all the modern left's worst administrative & interpersonal traits. I'm almost glad it exists? Like it's a curse-absorbing shield that saves the rest of us from Trotskyist nonsense.
