bad faith (feckless) Democrats

Dec 16, 2025

Individuals that support Dems going "center right" and engage in bad faith arguments with a sprinkle of gas lighting. This will also include the "Vote Blue no matter who" and "blue MAGA" (usually the same), might make separate respective lists later. This list will not include Newsom supporters.

He has expressed interest in “re-releases”, so it’s not inconceivable. And yes, I’m trying to ignore the obvious monkey’s paw.
“We’ll figure it out, but I get it back officially in 2027,” he said. “I’ve got most of a year to figure out what that means. But at the very least, it means I could re-release the earlier Ultimas, but it also means I could sequel them. And the point is I’m going to be I have control again of the future of my seminal product line.”

Why are people like this. I'm sure we agree on a lot, and there could be a lot of interesting discussions to be had, but I'm going to be honest, my patience to deal with people who immediately turn any kind of disagreement into a hostile dominance battle is at an all-time-low.
@rockthekoopa.bsky.social: there's not a single dsa candidate that doesn't run with them, and they capitulate too.

expect Dear Leader to start complaining about the trans khamas soon

gtea.bsky.social: I don't like speculating over what people might do in the future. I want to analye what people have done or are doing.

@rockthekoopa.bsky.social: I cite Dear leader because he already capitulated several times on campaign promises, he faced strong backlash from his own base last night, as leadership demanded they didn't go protest

You could cite June who had to retract an antizionist statement after the onion came calling

gtea.bsky.social: Who is "Dear Leader" even???

@rockthekoopa.bsky.social: saying His name in vain is a mortal sin, don't worry about it kitten

gtea.bsky.social: Thank you for the condescension. It really bolsters your arguments and doesn't at all look like an attempt to assert a position without having to do the messy business of clearly communicating your ideas.

I just got to Level 12! which I've heard is the checkpoint you should reach before running EXP parties in the dunes. For reference, it took me 8 hours, and most of that was grinding out the same 5 enemies in a single zone XD The vibes are amazing though. 10/10 unironically.

I started Horizon XI today, and as somebody who does not have any classic FFXI nostalgia, it's kind of awesome??? The lack of teleportation means you're waaay more likely to see players actually walking through the cities and early zones.

Successfully decoupled the platform-specific code from the game logic! Now I can build out the SDL platform layer so it can eventually be played natively / without an emulator (if desired)

Took waaaaaay to much time debugging C pointer stuff, but I have input (mostly making sure there's a "just pressed" bool I can save to memory) and I have mapped a wrapping x,y coordinate system to the tile map!

I missed two characters (Right Bracket, and one of the double-border symbols). Gameb oy Tile Designer doesn't allow you to "insert" tiles, so I had to find the tiles in the generated C code and just insert them manually :P The pandocs were a lot of help! gbdev.io/pandocs/Tile...

Def feels like a lot of time spent on not a lot of work today XD But I've loaded the IBM Code 437 character set into memory and can write those tiles onto the screen!
Code:
#include <gb/gb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "gb_ibm_437.h"

unsigned char BackgroundTileMap[360] = {
};

void main(void) {
    BackgroundTileMap[190] = 0x01;
    set_bkg_data(0,0xFD, TileLabel);
    set_bkg_tiles(
        0,

A very silly thing that I like about developing: Getting to update patch notes with every commit :3
# 0.4.0
## Features
- Score now starts at 1000 every round, and counts down.
- Added a new mechanic: Wires! Collecting wires decreases the amount of time it takes for Bomby to explode!
- Brand-new enemy sprites
- Edited player sprites
- Brand-new tile sprites
- New UI

## Bug Fixes
- Fixed game state bugs, such as states triggering their enter code multiple times (responsible for rounds not incrementing correctly)

Some more progress, and a big one this time! Now the round score ticks down, so the sooner you explode, the higher your score! But also: by collecting the wires strewn across the level, your countdown decreases! Do you take the time to collect the wires, or try to go for a higher score?

Some progress on the post-jam patching process! All entities now move strictly on a grid, and the enemies now increase in speed each round! Also: as a result of reworking movement completely, I wrote the enemy pathfinding by hand, and it works a lot better now. They no longer push eachother around

Like, “Infectious laughter” is common parlance, it’s a way we can describe empathy and sharing emotional states, but I guess people have to find a way to justify outrage somehow.
Do you see the difference between “empathize” and “infect”?

Oh no, an artist used hyperbole.

How terrible and horrifying.

GTea ΘΔ @gtea.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Apologies, but since when is art only ever supposed to purposefully evoke a positive emotional response from the audience?
Yeah, I won't bite the tongue here, this is what kills art on the vine. You can make good art as a catharsis for rage and despair and terror, you cannot make good art by forging it into a weapon to inflict those things as wounds on others.

"My goal with comics used to be to make people laugh.  Now my goal is to infect people with the same unfocused rage I feel constantly.  Sub to the Patreon if you like terror and desolation!"
