why am i not surprised he doesn’t understand that no means no

So Heart's Choice, Choice of Games' romance imprint, is having a Steam sale (Check them all out!), including DAWNFALL, my queer SFF epic portal fantasy. Which I just noticed has been added to A List that made me Actual LOL. What great recommendations! store.steampowered.com/app/1183300/...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Once again, it must be said as loudly as possible: AI can't do the things described in this paragraph, and there is no pathway to it ever being able to do them.

Trump in the White House situation room, yelling at Tulsi Gabbard: "Tony Blair managed to build better WMD propaganda in a CAVE! With a bunch of SCRAPS!"

Dayum!

Constantly being told we could all lose our jobs at a moment's notice when we were all on working visas. And the guy who ran a white glove along a roller door in an industrial facility and ordered us to clean it. Same place.

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Kai Winn has endorsed Andrew Cuomo, my child

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

important life hack for video games

this is what happens when nobody stands up to oppose the propaganda this is what happens when cis people write off trans rights as “not their problem” this is what happens when hate runs unchecked and unopposed and this is why WE NEED YOU TO HELP US AND STAND UP TO IT

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Just like that time with the drop bears

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Secret police tend to meet 5 criteria: -target political opponents & dissidents -the identity of members / operations are secret -surveillance operations -arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. 👉 answer directly to dictator 👈 the StasICE, GestapICE, etc.

This may be the best (and most beautiful?) form of resistance I have ever seen... and it has an interesting history!

The problem with watching any pre-2025 political scandal documentary is that it will always seem tame in comparison to half of our current daily headlines.

Saw this sign at the @nationallibraryaus and it’s the best thing ever.

This is a big deal. Stephen Fry is difficult to dismiss as a fringe figure. He's as middle-of-the-road establishment as they come - with the politics and long silence on this issue to match. JKR and her fan club won't just be able to shrug this off. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/step...

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

The easiest win in the world right now is to continue using your own brain while people around you get relentlessly, intentionally dumber

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

yes they are. they are christians and you have to deal with that

y’know what this shit is? THIS IS THE SHIT THAT GIVES TRANSPHOBES PERMISSION TO HURT US you are with us or against us human rights have no middle ground

Secret police forces typically meet 5 criteria: targeting political opponents & dissidents answer directly to dictator the identity of members / operations are secret surveillance operations arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. So yeah: ICE= Gestapo

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.
