Had to make a Ginger Rogers "come at me" gif from VIVACIOUS LADY (1938). #TCMParty

An under-celebrated fact about Portland is that we have a great cinema scene

Can’t tell if all these Canadian flags are a symbol of renewed anti-American sentiment or just plain ol white supremacy

I played three games this weekend that were run by their designer, and each was an absolute highlight. Plasmodics by @willjobst.bsky.social, Two Hand Path by @wilkiescandylab.com, and Wandering Blades by @danielhkwan.itch.io. Absolute stunners

This rpg convention is sharing space with the orc conference and somehow they are unrelated

I’m in Toronto for breakout con and may I say this city’s rpg culture is light years ahead

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

I read that op ed and someone needs to foia his ai chats

There are approximately 6,000 unionized workers at Columbia, including 3,000 grad/undergrad student workers. The university’s repression of anti-genocide protests has directly led to the Trump regime’s seizure of Mahmoud Khalil. It cannot be business as usual. It’s time to strike.

Columbia body has to go on strike, right? This is just inexcusable and impermissible

As bad as it is miserable

After a few years off, I’m running for co-chair of Portland DSA again in the upcoming leadership election. And I’ve got an agenda - inspired by Zohran Mamdani’s Family Agenda for NYC, Portland DSA is going to fight for a Family Agenda for Portland

I would broadly encourage people to think about how thin a shield “well I won’t go to prison then” could prove, and how quickly that could start to go bad. It gives a sense of the timeline you need to be able to react on for departure plans.

Tonight Leo suggested that instead of watching What we do in the Shadows, we should instead watch Mamma Mia!

Leo got a gecko but won’t let me name him Colin Robinson

I knew the CNN piece was gonna enrage me, and tbh some of the reporting was shoddy, but this made me pass out for a minute

I’ve noticed that observing world-historic collapse really knocks the wit out of me

TIL symmetry
