Okay, this is going to sound bizarre, but genuinely, I'm saving money by getting into Warhammer 40k. No really. It's reducing how much I'm spending per month. Here's why: Each individual model or model set is fairly expensive, of course. But the amount of time I'm putting into it is […]

[out of the loop on online controversy] My YouTube recommendations recently wandered me into what I understand to be BreadTubers like Vaush and Destiny. A comment one of them had recently got me to discover there’s a whole thing about this group and their associates, especially Keffals and […]

Finished my first 40 Warhammer minis tonight. I don't know why, but painting Warhammer minis, in particularly, gives me a LOT of dopamine. Seeing that I have 40 of these little tyrannies, looking so good... is just fascinating.

More kicking while it's down, please. #Musk #Tesla #EV #Polestar

We are rapidly approaching the point where America is gonna be a place where you only get to have basic amenities like sewers, water, roads, planes not crashing into your house, etc. if you’re rich.

KEEP GOING DOWN! GO GO GO Take away the power of this oligarch.

[uspol] I'm feeling pretty happy with the Daily Show's criticism of the Democrats in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqLfXzzPB0g

If you, like me, hate deadbeat landlords and terrible people, this court video of a local terrible person is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB378r-toNo You can watch local slumlord Stewart Beal just slowly shrink as his tenants force him to actually do the repair work he is obligated to do.

At the social security office today to handle my name change. They only have 4 people working here. I’ve been waiting an hour after my appointment just to turn in a bit of paperwork regarding my marriage.

So ... The apparent US position is that ICE can grab any random person off the street they want, claim they're an enemy combatant, and ship them to an overseas concentration camps, and then they say there's literally nothing the courts can do about it.

Saying you like Luigi is getting you banned from MULTIPLE social networks now. Damn.

I was on a clocktower stream last night! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2407672404

[uspol] I've been thinking a lot about democrats lately. It's in the republicans' interest to foster dissent and weakness among the democrats, so I'm wary of the way these ideas are being pushed online. But at the same time, I want to see the democrats change. I've thought a lot about a […]

A crowd of ~1000 showed up in Walnut Creek, CA, to protest Musk, Trump, and Tesla. At the first protest a month ago, there were about 80. Tesla Takedown! No one elected Musk! Keep up the pressure - Elon is losing wealth every second!

My partner @coda and I got married today!!!!!

[uspol] The US right just completely manufactures problems and crises, then cheers themselves as they solve those problems. The followers on the right now just completely believe in a myriad collection of fantasy problems. Fentanyl, immigration, trans people in sports, EVs, plastic straws […]

[uspol] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiXCafnqpPQ This is a fever dream. The Health and Human Services secretary getting interviewed at a restaurant, advertising that specific restaurant, and they're also bragging about the place having plastic straws. This is genuinely astonishing to watch.

[Nazi America] Mark my words. The US is going to invade a sovereign nation before Trump's term is out.

[uspol] I *really* don't like Jubilee, but occasionally, some of their videos are interesting. This one is interesting in just how utterly... wrong... all of these people are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js15xgK4LIE Just factually ignorant, believing in utter lies. I literally burst out […]

[uspol complaining] Today, the tarriffs aren't not definitively and finally not on the not off state. * The accuracy of this statement is valid only for 15 nanoseconds. * Probably wasn't accurate for those 15 nanoseconds either.

[US/Canada relations] There is this annoying thing when someone in a categoy of people that are hurting or oppressing others ask the victim to acknowledge that they may be in that category, but don't support the oppressor. Like a cis person asking a trans person to acknowledge that they're a […]

My sister is visiting New Zealand with a tour group comprising mostly US citizens. One of the tour leaders asked “Is everyone here American?” My sister responded that she and her husband were Canadian, and some MAGA woman nearby snorted “Not for long!” Earlier, my sister had met another couple […]

[Nazi America] https://mastodon.social/@PCMag/114144940077240440 Or maybe we don't want to fund the Nazi car company?

[US war] I am genuinely wondering how it's going to work if/when the USA goes to (shooting) war with Canada and half the USA opposes that war. Will folks sit back in their houses and just watch it happen? Will they get out and organize to commit treason and sabotage our military? Will they […]

[uspol] I've occasionally taken a peek into Fox news to see what people are saying there, to try to understand where the "other side" is at. I'll be honest. I've never seen the propaganda machine over there working harder than it is now. And that's saying something, because they've always been […]

friendly reminder that https://bookshop.org is an awesome alternative to other book stores that actually helps out local bookstores whenever you purchase stuff

Apparently, upvoting praise of Luigi is now against the rules on reddit...

Legacy media is dying. They have no editorial independence anymore, they are beholden to billionaires who are buying out all the outlets and controlling me message. Support independent journalists, y'all. We're out here doing the work and breaking the news. Drop your WAPO sub.

[politics, specifically political parties] I always see people going around labelling their own political ideology. "I'm a leftist, not a liberal." "I'm a radical leftist." "I'm a progressive." "I'm a liberal." "I'm a central leftist" "I'm a centrist." etc. etc. I don't get how this works. I […]

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.
