100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Doctor Strangefate is dead, and now the responsibility of protecting Earth from cyber-magical threats falls on the shoulders of a failed maritime lawyer (with improbable red-and-black spiked hair) turned smuggler-of-fortune. He is... JARED LOGAN, THE CLAW OF FATE

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Queenslanders impacted by the public system ban on new trans health care - want to take legal action? You have until *next Tuesday* - the 25th - to get signed up to the LBGTI Legal Service: lgbtilegalservice.org.au Get a GP letter explaining the health impact of the ban before this deadline, too.

This month, at Xtra: I wrote about despair, and how protest isn't something you do because it guarantees an outcome -- it's something you do because doing it keeps you from falling apart. (This is scientifically true!): xtramagazine.com/health/menta...

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Here's the crowdfunder for Cosmic Dark, my game of weird space horror. It'll launch shortly. Please sign up. And I really appreciate it if you share this post! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

new article on Nonsense from Simone Anders that deep dives into the trans noise music community of Naarm, which is one of those fascinating windows into a subculture you might not know anything about. heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/p/awash-in-t...

PSA: All of David Lynch's features have just dropped at archive dot org, including Industrial Symphony No 1, Hotel Room, and the Duran Duran concert

A week ago I dropped my new two-player game, WAYFARER 1. It's about the lonesome fate of Voyager 1! It's also about the frailty of communication in the face of increasing distance. If you've played my other games you'll be like "yeah that tracks." It's here: bannerless.games/wayfarer1

(Reposted with alt text) Cowardice of course, but we can't expect anything better from government-funded art. You can either be fiercely pro-free expression, or you can "bring Australians together". They are fundamentally opposed and in a conservative country like Australia cowardice will win.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

We live in an anxiety.

Do not ever correct me on here. I'm not wrong, and if I am then it's because it's fun for me

Thinking about this again. When mining industries want to extract concessions from government, they don't beg! They produce an onslaught of adverts in all media explaining the Australian economy would die if they're not bribed sufficiently. Universities could do that, AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE TRUE

Begin to divest yourself from these apps to the best of your ability and try to remember which companies do this so you don’t support them in the future

Protect and celebrate trans youth; but also cherish people who come out later in life, often in defiance to decades of resistance and cultural conditioning, often at tremendous personal and professional cost. It's never too late to recognize and grow into yourself.

It's data analysis time at Evil Hat, so I'm back on my spreadsheet bullshit today. Who wants a look at how Evil Hat's catalog has performed in distribution invoices from 2010-2024 (+2025 YTD)? Being distro invoicing, it won't include IPR (we don't invoice them), digital, webstore, crowdfunding. 🧵
