Your fave from last week: Spirit Island. Appropriate for spooky season, with its interesting fear mechanic. Let's play! #boardgames youtu.be/7Ly0x8I-cFY

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO (next major politician who's in)

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Loving this new normie baseline!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

On the way to a big protest, this got us to pull over: a retirement community including many in wheelchairs or with walkers who rolled out to the street corner to express their 1A rights. ✊ Chatted with inspiring folks who’ve been civil rights advocates for decades. 🇺🇸

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Support the real-life folks who are like the "good guys" in the games you play. #boardgames #lifelessons #nokings #notyranny youtu.be/yV40vKDZ0mg

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

At this point I assume they are all a danger to women

today is Snoopy's 75th anniversary 🥲

Still grateful for the amazing ride with the Guardians--and congratulations to the Tigers and @rockyl.bsky.social

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

Watching Cleveland teams is rarely relaxing. Our Guardians are firmly in that tradition. More October baseball in Cleveland--can't wait for tomorrow!

In her spirit: Be kind to other animals, y’all. We have a lot more in common with many of them than you realize, including emotions, intellect, sociality, and social norms.

#Guardians atop the division. #goGuards Sorry, @rockyl.bsky.social

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago. There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

having seen him play two games in the NFL, can people really imaging JJ McCarthy winning *without* cheating?

What I am asking of people right now is DISCERNMENT and NONCOMPLIANCE. Both of these things if practiced by most of us will help dig us out of this hole. More is needed than this of course but practicing both of these is an excellent start.

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Wow this is amazing. They're putting $5 million into canceling medical debt for families. And for every million the movie makes at the box office, another million in medical debt will get paid off!

I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein

really good information here...

The UUA has joined @churchesformep.bsky.social and other faith partners urging Israel to halt its planned offensive in Gaza City. With famine already declared, more assault will only deepen suffering. We call for a ceasefire and humanitarian access. More at: bit.ly/4n6gmVY #Gaza #HumanRights

This ruling is now final, and the case is closed. President Donald Trump does not have the authority yo invalidate Chicago & Illinois laws that ban local law enforcement officials from helping federal immigration agents, U.S. District Court Judge Lindsay Jenkins ruled. @wttw.bsky.social

Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok

@dropout.tv has @gamechangershow.bsky.social Season 7 Episode 11 !!

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

ICE getting routed in my old DC Columbia Heights hood. Public, viral, resistance is the only way to prevent them from selling the idea that we love our red state military occupation are it’s a solution to urban ills Trump/Bondi/drunk Pirro are lying. Here’s how to expose the lie.

People of a certain (my) age: rejoice and be exceedingly glad for hallelujah - Blackberries are coming back! www.androidauthority.com/blackberry-c...

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Ceasefire Pamir

Amazing how peak masculinity for a Republican is swearing that you’re too afraid to go outside
