We wake up today to a world at war and economies on the brink, all driven by a deranged US leader who promotes racism, misogyny, corruption and predation. The nyt waged a hate campaign against trans ppl that directly lifted this evil man to power. This is the nyt legacy

History had made clear that the demonization of minorities was a first step in the ascent of evil that poses worldwide threat. But Sulzberger was so consumed by political positioning that he waved away his first obligation as a journalist: Tell the truth

@greenparty.org.uk Covid/Climate change are two sides of the same coin.

The TTRPG design backburner is a type of green goblin mask, to me

I just want to gather some data from the #Podcast and #TTRPG #ActualPlay folks— How much do yall pay audio editors/sound designers? Is it by length of raw material? Or hours spent editing?

genuinely fucking despicable thing to say. you cant try to do advocacy journalism and then say you dont care if someone reading ur misinfo slop is suicidal. fuuuuuck her

Honestly at this point it barely even matters if Platner "regrets" anything . What's way more important is to question why everyone is SO. FUCKING. OBSESSED. with finding excuses for why it is no only "okay" to worship the SS-Tattoo Blackwater merc but utterly beyond criticism even.

Remmick may be evil but he WAS good for a hootiehoo. #SinnersWatch

anyway posting this here for no reason unrelatedly bsky.app/profile/disc...

“it’s so weird that trans people cluster up in a single neighborhood“

I hate being right I hate being right I hate being right

I have two important appointments Monday and Tuesday. I’d love to take Lyfts there. It’ll probably be my last time taking them as I am thinking of other options for rides. ;w; Just need these two settled. I was thinking $50 would be enough. ko-fi.com/missalppy

There's a great bit cut in the 90s one where when Iggy gets zapped with the smart laser he starts talking socialism

evergreen post

as an american, they're right. like we don't deserve to die any more than they do, it's not that kind of evil, but living in america is like beer goggles for community and solidarity

in this 4-hour video essay we will be covering a surface level analysis while making several fundamental errors. patreon in description

Nodding sagely: I'm learning so much about Neopets

"But that would be too much work for people to have to do given the scale of moderation" then die, I don't actually care if your company can't afford this or not. Get broken up, get nationalized, doesn't fuckin matter. Too much of this shit is a impenetrable black box and it needs to end

Lots of things in our world should be illegal/have laws regarding them, but I think for me one of my most niche but fervent beliefs is that it should be a legal requirement for any online company that bans you, blocks a video, etc to provide an extremely clear reason written by a human being

How do you keep a civilian population in the thrall of state security forces? Police dramas. Thousands of police dramas.

Who cares about a bad space show written by a sex pest when you could watch the anime that he ripped off to make it? Outlaw Star is 1000% pure uncut aura starring a chaotic bisexual and his crew of hot, murderous women youtu.be/q3gI-E_vqVA?...

decades of wrangling with a world hostile to people like me before I had even parsed who I am worked wonders for my ability to write a tight 5.

need to commission a "Cass in roller derby gear" piece sometime

Key Democrats in Congress are, once again, vaguely opposing a war instead of forcefully opposing it on moral or ideological grounds.

Cis people: *peacefully protests quietly shouting trans rights*

I think we have a manifesto problem in TTRPGs. Not that people are writing them, but that people are taking them as more than personal statements of style and ideals.

Is there any other platform for digital online wargames than tabletop simulator? I cannot express adequately how irritating i find it to use, but I am starting to fear it is my only choice to do online playtesting for Silent Galaxy.

Iran trolling the US and Israel by saying the Strait of Hormuz is open for everyone else other than them is actually quite funny.

Exactly. Michigan would be red like Indiana if it wasn't for slightly more diversity. This isn't Minnesota. We're not reliably liberal, let alone progressive. If every Michigan Muslim had voted Harris, Trump still would have won. Trump won a majority of white voters & Black voter turnout was lower.

She’ll end up voting for it, as usual.

My fiancée is so great she’s making tile sets for a game boy format for a story she’s working on and it’s so cool. Every time I bring up how awesome it is she gets so modest tho ;.; but like. You’re doing something you love and you’re good at it and it’s a whole world inside that brain babe.

seriously i want more studios to spread risk around by making ten $30m movies than one $300m movie. i want smaller, more specific movies that dont count as failures if they dont make $2 billion

The age of Solar is coming y'all, the future is as bright as the sun in the sky No matter how much the bastards in office or the oil oligarchs try to slow it

Lol, wowww. The disrespect! I wonder if this guy's strategy is to goad developers into responding with a well-earned "fuck off," only to claim that they accepted the terms of the offer by replying to the email?

another idle of mine Willow! #art #pixelart #animation #oc

@heavensbvnny

it's so infuriating to talk to cis people about an explicitly trans piece of media that they also liked because you'll go "this is a metaphor for the trans experience" and they'll go "haha yeah sure, idk about that one haha but it's cute that you think that" like i'm sorry dude but that's text

"Iran is our enemy because it is an Islamist theocracy that denies human rights to women and LGBTQ people, brutally beheads political dissidents, violently attacks its neighbours, and funds terrorism. That's why today I'm visiting our close friend and ally, Saudi Arabia."

I wish people showed up to help more because these fucks certainly show up to hurt me for trying. *sigh*

Remember how 10+ years ago the main point of rightwing whiners was “stop making existing characters gay or black and just create your own original characters”?

Realest post I have read today

my brain has decided one specific person from my past is The One You Have Those Haunting Dreams About and i need to figure out which form i have to submit to get that changed to basically any other person from my past. wonder what the bureaucratic turnaround time for that is up in the ol' brain

Even after Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved campaign contribution caps, the state Legislature dragged its feet on passing limits — and it’s since loosened them. By @robwdavis.bsky.social
