The whole administration is a conspiracy to revive the reputation of Neville Chamberlain.

@algreen.house.gov and @repjasmine.bsky.social understood the assignment, but it’s become clear the vast majority of #Democrats don’t have the chutzpah for this fight. Color matching & pithy paddles are cringy and meaningless in the face of the grave threat of fascism ascendant #stateoftheunion

If you’re looking for something else to be radicalized about, @edzitron.com dives into the lies & rot underlying the #tech industry. “We are in an era of rot, a market dominated by a growth-obsessed death cult. It doesn’t matter to these companies that the only thing that grows forever is cancer.”

I'm sorry, but a "tactical pause" ain't it. While Dems sit back and wait for MAGA to implode, they'll continue to cause real harm to real people. Seems to me this strategy would do nothing except bolster the notion that Dems can't fix anything, and foster cynical apathy that only helps Trump et al.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Why is Elon like this? If I was a billionaire, I’d fuck off to my private island out of the public eye to play video games, read books, and generally do nothing productive with my time. Not to mention I’d be donating huge chunks of my fortune to solve global problems, not create them…

I’m sure the #supremecourt is chuffed that Trump is using the broad immunity they gave him to dismantle the #Constitution and take away their power of judicial review. Was it their end goal all along to become powerless irrelevant toadies, or just a nice bonus?

“Why aren’t [Democrats] taking the federal workers who are sharing their heartbreaking stories and making them famous?” There are so many compelling, enraging human stories about the damage this administration is doing, yet they keep trotting out Jeffries and Schumer like they’ll inspire anyone…

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

If I had a nickel for every time my favorite games or TV shows were inspired by Finnish-American contextualist architect Eero Saarinen, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice! Check out my latest post exploring connections between #severance and #control!

Roses are red, I’m not a villain, #severance #valentinesday

The Treasury Department will make Tom Krause, a Silicon Valley executive with ties to DOGE, the head of the department that oversees the nation’s powerful payment systems after ousting the career civil servant who previously held the post.

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted. They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

I bet all those folks are feeling really good about their Gaza protest votes right about now…

If the media covered Musk’s coup like it was happening in another country: “With rapidity that has stunned even longtime political observers, forces loyal to Musk’s junta have established him as the all-but undisputed unelected head of government in just a matter of days…”

Maybe the most galling thing about Musk and the oligarchs gutting federal spending as if they know best is that it’s not even their fucking money! Neither they nor their companies pay meaningful taxes! Talk to me about waste and inefficiency when you start paying your fair share 🤬

New article on the SubStack! What makes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle “feel like” one long Indiana Jones movie? I really think game developers should study what Machine Games accomplished when adapting a movie franchise into a video game. Check it out!

$10 says you’ll never guess what song I was singing to my son when I discovered “Little Baby Theodore” is the same number of syllables as “Alexander Hamilton”

Decided to check out BlueSky! Opening it up is like stepping through a time portal and logging into Twitter circa 2012.
