THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND!!!!!!!! @pringusmcdingus.bsky.social

Painting my pfp 😇

Avowed seriously whips ass and is gonna be hard to top as my personal game of the year. I've been playing as a gunslinging ranger who's never touched melee weapons www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/sk...

Couldn't get through at all at various times earlier in the week, but I just tried her office outside regular business hours and her voicemail is open. It really does feel like a shift from a few days ago, so I kept my message positive and urged her to keep going in this direction: 1-518-474-8390.

As line art, it takes a great deal of time to draw. And this art is about to be completed. I feel more and more attached to this art after spending so much time on it. #Illustration #feedbackwelcome

KEEP YELLING. KEEP SUING.

kind of getting there. if Dems votes are needed then the Elon crime spree has to stop, that’s the bare minimum

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Set in the Deep South, South of Midnight explores how facts become folklore and the struggle of atoning for past sins. Read our preview. www.pastemagazine.com/games/south-...

Ellen Weintraub, the chair of the Federal Elections Commission, said in a social media post that President Donald Trump sent her a letter attempting to illegally remove her from her job.

Do not go quietly! Keep struggling!

I'm not afraid to say it: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/un...

this rules! really heartening to see this

god I wish I was paid this much to be this stupid

ah good we've got corpo PMCs occupying governmental buildings

I'm not afraid to say it: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/un...

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Compare Bondi's memo, which characterizes DOJ attorneys as "the president's lawyers," with this memo that Ted Olson, who was then Reagan's OLC chief, sent to AG William French Smith in 1982. knightcolumbia.org/documents/jw...

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by *explicit contrast* with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.

why are people even using the term “D.E.I.” in the same way the far right is? just say things like, “dismantling of equal rights protections” or “normalization of race- or gender-based inequality” instead. I’m alarmed by the immediate adoption of an amorphous blanket term now co-opted by the right

QRP with someone watery :)

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

lotta nerds suddenly being very loud in a world full of lockers

I wrote for Slate about how a conservative think tank plans to "identify and target" Wikipedia editors who it claims are abusing their position—a dangerous escalation that shifts the fight from debating edits to going after the editors themselves. slate.com/technology/2...

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on. But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS. We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.

They are seeking to criminalize integration efforts across public life. We must be clear eyed and direct about what’s happening here. We have not witnessed this blatant of a comprehensive governmental attack on integration since the Civil Rights Movement. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is genuinely an important article. The two main lessons from Hungary appear to be: DO NOT WAIT DO NOT UNDERREACT Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window. www.vox.com/politics/398...

i hate asking for help again so quickly after last time, but the cost of my medication has increased pretty significantly even with my insurance. i've also been hit with some unexpected medical bills. hoping to raise $250 to recoup the cost. 🙇‍♂️ ko-fi.com/justicekazzy...

Kitfox is going to GDC with a SUPER panel about Early Access games! With: ⛏ Tarn Adams (Dwarf Fortress) 🍄 Jason Grinblat @jfg.land (Caves of Qud) 🚀 Dan Fedor @dcfedor.bsky.social (Ostranauts) 🦊 Alexandra Orlando @alexgorlando.bsky.social (Streets of Fortuna)

1. I keep saying this, but it’s important to try to slow things down. It’s something that the Democrats really don’t get. You can win a war by losing every battle slowly.

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks: 1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

keep it up

goddammit what won't they take
