The blood of tyrants

I've seen some well-meaning liberals say that advocating for the abolishment of ICE is a mistake, and that we need to replace it instead. It frustrates me that people accept the premise that these organizations are necessary. Maybe people are too young to remember, so a history lesson:

No War for Oil! US out of Venezuela! Rally today SW 10th and Burnside 3:30 pm

I've long thought that Twitter is a place completely devoid of ethical construction, which I guess is pretty obvious to everyone. Still, the latest affront to common decency does feel like a shock on a very basic, human level.

You have 2 stats. You do not know what they are. Do things and record which you succeed and fail at until you figure it out.

Unfortunately, it looks like developers still need to learn the lesson that any AI usage is a poison pill that will drastically harm the legitamacy of any product its used in.

I wonder if right wing faux intellectual writers realize they've adopted the writing style of sociology professors. Another win for the cultural and scientific dominance of scientific materialism, I guess.

When someone says something thalassophobic and you have to hit them with that sub-benthic stare.

I've been getting back into playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauiri (directed by Brian Reynolds). It's definitely the game I come back to the most over the years, and each time I learn new things about it. It also grows more prophetic as time passes.

We were all really busy that weekend

on that dad weed gummies that make you a dad

@mizunotic.bsky.social : we used to have mascots. We used to be a real country.

Erik @erikthebearik.bsky.social and I have a theory that Arin Hansen and Dan Avidan were supposed to voice the ship in the bottle and time capsule in Date Everything, but for whatever reason, it didn't happen. They are kind of conspicuously absent from a roster of a lot of beloved VAs...

I MEAN

We're in the final stretch for the Tribes in the Dark #ttrpg Kickstarte. I've been putting some final tweaks on the text, and getting excited about the new art we'll be able to commission.

As AI-driven data-centers continue to spike water and energy costs, some utilities are trying to pass the burden onto residential consumers. Don't let them. #PDX c.org/cNMtL7kW2w

Fandom wankery about Date Everything is 10x funnier if you've trained your brain to read DE as Disco Elysium.

It looks like today (or some day soon) might finally be the day:

The lesson of Vshojo, just like with every other traditional company that claims to be pro-worker, is that unless you're in a worker owned co-op or have a union, you're going to get screwed.

Today in fun working on Capitol Hill moments

Labubu is something a French yogi bear would say.

Do I know anyone in Vancouver / going to SIGGRAPH?

Anyone in the #PDX area have a working air conditioner they're not using? I'm trying to do some mutual aid.

I Finished The Pitt. Yeah it was really good. #art #thepitt

i dont understand any of these new notification options

So is this KPop Demon Hunters movie implying that BTS is demonic? And possibly bent on world domination?

Me: Horse raising idol racing? @mizunotic.bsky.social :"Horse. Racing. Idol. Raising."

Temu Persona 5???

Guys stop making fun of billionaires freaking out over Zohran. This is a stress response, capitalism only does this when it's in a lot of danger.

I am the grungler, coo coo ca choo

I think it's worthwhile to sheep dog media figures towards the left. They're very vulnerable to wanting to be "right" about things, get invited to podcasts, etc and have essentially no diehard policy positions.

Any #ttrpg nerds have any good resources to recommend for military-style campaigns? I've got a friend who's working on a Age of Rebellion campaign.

The Ghormans should have waved imperial flags and sang the imperial march as they protested. Much better optics that way.

I will never tell people how to resist tyranny. I hope people are studying and learning from recent and not-so-recent history.

Twitter these days is rife with people pointing out "plot holes" in Andor that are directly addressed or explained in the show. Is this just subtle storytelling? Second screen watching? Media literacy? It's kinda baffling.

What's the over/under on Vance getting excommunicated?

The only (admittedly horrifying) silver lining I can see in recent political events is that they've shifted the norms that may be pre-requisities for a left-wing revolution.

I wonder if it's something about the labor policy or economic conditions of Oregon that makes it so that literally every service worker I interact with here is 10x happier than any service worker I ever met in California.

I hope there aren't consequences for the Signal thing, since generally you want fascist leadership to be as incompetent and lazy as possible.

Instead of arguing online about whether or not boycotts are effective, spend today studying successful political action internationally/ organizing locally.

I wonder if anyone has accused Crusader Kings of being "woke" for showing how devastating diseases were before we had vaccines.

A lot of the federal employees Elon is laying off are vets. Who's ready for the Bonus Army Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

I went to a Representative's town hall tonight and the place was packed, people were angry. The libs are big mad, folks.

Trump has announced that schools, hospitals, and churches are no longer out-of-bounds for ICE raids. If you see ICE activity anywhere, REPORT it to the ICE Raid hotline, so defenders can be mobilized to the scene, as legal observers, to assist escapes and disruption of raids.Share this meme widely.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. solarcrawl is so cool. galen is a threat-level 9 tabletop designer, from art to layout to writing to design! get ready for liftoff

As more social services and government functions are stripped away, there is a unique opportunity for left organizing to advance itself through mutual aid.
