Goblin Friday! Today: jumping between writing dialogs & implementing small features to support them. Part of Goblin Friday is setting the correct mood, so I've been on a big dungeon synth kick. To that point, I keep returning to this album; it's so damn good: cryocrypt.bandcamp.com/album/strugg...

Just saying.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

This has been proven time and time again.

Thank you SO MUCH to the amazing @joy.msnbc.com for shouting out my Substack today. You will be DEARLY missed. I’ll be following you wherever you go!

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

Joy Reid signs off at the end of her final MSNBC broadcast. Jen Psaki then begins her show by thanking her.

Perhaps Nikki wants to consult a mirror?

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

As much as I want indie authors to succeed, I can't be mad at people boycotting Kindle Unlimited. We'll never pry Amazon's chokehold off the indie community until KU and it's bullshit exclusivity clause are no longer a necessity for success. Readers have to start going wide themselves. #booksky

Happy Public Schools Week! As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities. That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

OVER THE MOON! Got my tickets to the Sydney Warcraft 30th World Tour!

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

Big Balls”? I’m shocked.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The idea of "if you see something you like on the internet you should save your own copy of it" really extends to solutions for tech problems that only one person has ever posted

Elon Goes Nuts When Called A Liar: Once again Elon Musk has proven that he doens’t belong in politics. He’s woefully out of his depth. The key attribute to being in politics is that you need to have a thick skin and don’t dish out at a level that you can’t take. And definitely don’t lie so…

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

In the 90s, when everyone was excited about the "Information superhighway" and how it would change the world, who knew the final exit ramp would be Willful Ignorance? We have wasted the chance to be better. We just chose the dumbest possible outcome. Twice.

'This isn't intended as satire': Columnist attacks GOP over latest 'sycophantic' grovel: In a new piece about the GOP's latest "sycophantic" push to curry favor with President Donald Trump, MSNBC columnist Steve Benen felt compelled to include a caveat: "In case there are any doubts, this isn't…

Allowing the administration to define broad swaths of history, programming and civil rights compliance as “DEI” and then regurgitating that language instead of clearly articulating what specifically is being targeted is spreading disinformation and propaganda.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

My next blog on Canadian immigration is almost done and I hope to release it on Monday. This one goes over the state of Canada, how they feel about immigration, what's the state of the economy, and a current outlook to the politicals that is hopefully easy to understand for anyone who is not 🇨🇦.

This, they've already won if we do nothing.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Dismantling the death penalty is a responsibility that belongs to all of us. Inspiring to see how a group of nuns are trying to save women on death row in Texas: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.” taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Why does it feel like, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, many journalists are just learning that Trump has a major—creepy, unsettling, malevolent—blindspot on Russia? Did U.S. journalists actually fall for the MAGA line about Trump-Russia being a hoax? Let me underline: it was 100% real and it is back

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon has resigned after being told to drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams. These are the heroes we MUST acknowledge, applaud, and encourage....so more will engage in these same acts of bravery and integrity.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Know our history. Keep telling our history. We can’t trust the government with it. Keep sharing our history so we can hold on to what the bastards try to take from us.

Somehow I missed this one. A United Regional Jet plane carrying 27 passengers and crew, slid off the taxiway at St. Louis Lambert International Airport yesterday. Where’s the guy from The Real World?

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

You might be MAGA if... you think a war hero like John McCain was a traitor, but a guy who dodged the draft five times is a patriot. You might be MAGA if... you say you love law enforcement until they serve a warrant at Mar-a-Lago.
