Hyped to see Cregger's Resident Evil is getting a ton of praise. Makes me extra excited to see it, especially given how much I enjoyed Weapons #filmsky #movies

Started working on a new #EDH deck that I know will annoy my playgroup, so I have helpfully included a section in the list called "Why Are You Like This?" I can't wait to play it.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The company is limiting access to its 120,000 license plate readers, but critics say the changes are largely optional and self-enforced.

Welp, got laid off today. Not the end of the world, but unexpectedly needing a new job sucks real bad. Time to polish my resume and sit through 10 rounds of interviews. Great.

Watching crusty GOP senators suddenly die as class consciousness is rising and a major midterm approaches is filling me with the kind of hope mostly reserved for small children seeing the exit sign for a theme park. Please let this confluence of events push us back on the track to a better future.

Why do people hate Democratic Socialism when it so clearly works? You just tax a few obnoxious, power-mad billionaires (Musk, O’Leary, etc.) and make life better for millions. CAN I GET A FREAKING AMEN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

I am so very tired of the Democrats and their lack of strength in their convictions. Less than a week ago, they won a huge victory. Today, they treat it like it's nothing. Keep cultivating those supple spines, folks. Surely it will pay dividends soon

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Today's journalistic malpractice: the media saying "state capitalism" instead of "communism" when discussing the administration's strong arm tactics towards public companies. Governments should not exist to directly make money off of the electorate.

As we continue to deal with the insanity of our government, it's crucial to remember that the promise of America has always been longer tables, not higher walls. Don't let them break you with their petty meanness. Happy 4th, everybody.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Trans people deserve better than this. They deserve dignity, autonomy, and the same freedom as anyone else to be who they are. We as a culture have failed them, and until Trans folks are free to make their own choices, none of us are.
