I think Arthur Morgan should be a character in every video game. Not because he's the best character ever written but also because he deserves to have a nice time in Stardew Valley.

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it. archaeologymag.com/2025/04/stud...

TW: drugs Schedule I is the single most addictive indie game I've played this side of Stardew Valley. It is also a one-man passion project, funneling years of work into the gameplay, atmosphere, and music to create a fully realized world that is easy to enter and hard to master.

"The fact that the Department of Homeland Security found it necessary to state that the arrests were “not related to student protests,” is deeply alarming. Why would this statement be necessary if the purpose of these arrests was not related directly to political intervention?"

I'm not lying when I say the season 7 premiere of Game Changers on #DropoutTV is the most insane (semi-ethical) hour of TV I've ever seen. I was gagged from start to finish and while trying to explain it to a friend they just replied, "That's legal?" @samreich.bsky.social you beautiful bastard

My toxic film take is that if you've only seen a film once, you don't actually understand it. Understanding a film takes as much work and time as reading a book. You can have your initial impressions, but you should watch the film again to add to your understanding. #filmsky

I don't know what switch flipped that convinced libs that Kamala had a chance if only it wasn't for those pesky anti-genocide people, but wake up: that's just not true. You're lying to yourself. Democrats ran a horrible campaign with a historically unpopular candidate. Free Palestine either way

Recently, I saw someone ask online why Americans were giving up on the country, and I responded that we are on our own. We must invest in one another and community because the people in charge do not care about us. In response to this, the poster said I should have 'voted for somebody else, then.'

Begging folks to stop referring to the pandemic in the past tense. It’s still “during COVID”. The pandemic isn’t over just because you want it to be. We have no sterilizing vaccine. No treatment or cure for Long Covid. People are still dying & becoming disabled every day because we refuse to adapt
