Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Totally legit. Again, too bad he is breathing oxygen on my planet. 020 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Again, that is assuming he was actually hurt at all (see also, magically healing ears). 120 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 13/08/2025As much as I relish the idea that that shitstain got his ass handed to him, I think it’s more likely it was a staged event in order to give the orange grotesque a justification to enact martial law. My only sadness is that, if real, the assailants didn’t finish the job. 110 1

Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I was a map designer on GW2, and I did a little bit of work on anniversary patches for GW1. I designed three of the eight dungeons, and all of the competitive PvP arena maps (along with countless other parts in the PvE world maps) as well as some of the WvW content. 230 3
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Glad you enjoyed GW2. It was definitely a labor of love on that project. 030 3
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 14/06/2025“The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender.” 090 9

Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 01/02/2025No, no we do not have to forgive and/or forget. Actions have consequences, and those fuckers need to learn that the hard way. 020 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 01/02/2025I will gleeful light any of those fuckers on 🔥, as an example to anyone stupid enough to utter such nonsense. 220 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20255/ Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload. Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance. 160 6
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20254/ Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context 020 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20253/ Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks. Process. This is a marathon. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20252/ Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20251/ Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/2025The result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement. What now? 020 2
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20253/ Agenda-setting theory explains the strategy: When multiple major policies compete for attention simultaneously, it fragments public discourse. Traditional media can't keep up with the pace, leading to superficial coverage. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20252/ Media theorist McLuhan predicted this: When humans face information overload, they become passive and disengaged. The rapid-fire executive orders create a cognitive bottleneck, making it nearly impossible for citizens and media to thoroughly analyze any single policy. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/20251/ The flood of 200+ exec orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits. 010 1
Egan Hirvela @eganomicon.bsky.social · 27/01/2025With thanks to Emily Pearl: Wise and important words from sociologist Jennifer Walter about what is happening in this country right now and what to do about it: "As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal. (Continued) 9104 10
