"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now." I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce. Watch/share/subscribe to Zeteo: zeteo.com/subscribe

Donold’s 79th birthday parade was a pitiful failure. The No Kings protests were a massive success.

You see how wrong it is about the subjects you do know, and can extrapolate how wrong it is about everything else.

When you play Clocktower with strangers you establish histories that you can connect with a year later. “Sorry where did we meet?” “I was the Washerwoman that saw you as Sage but you were actually the Spy” “Oh but you were pithagged into Drunk and got Fang Gu jumped and then we won together!”

We know Storytelling is hard, and situations can come up that you’re not prepared for. That’s why we asked some Storytellers in our community to answer some questions about situations they’ve dealt with, and give their best advice as experienced Storytellers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iwk...

Wow, 30,000 views. Thanks to everyone who watches our content, and especially a big thanks to @ninjanina.bsky.social who does the heavy lifting with editing and graphics.

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is full of fascists. And then you perform at a rock club in Tallahassee where you’re reminded there are more allies than you realize. Thank you, 926 Bar. I needed that reminder today.

Mahmoud Khalil is a legal, permanent U.S. resident and is granted protection under the First Amendment. He is currently being detained without being charged with a crime. The reason for his arrest was due to his political speech. This is a violation of the First Amendment.

AEW Revolution: I think people are blowing the ending out of proportion (and also skipping over the actual closing moments of the show). It wasn't great, but it's not near as bad as people are saying. With that said, it's undeniable that Toni/Mariah should have gone on last.

For some time now I've tried to not make my Clocktower games linger too long (2 hours max) but lately I've made an effort to speed up my games even more and I've loved the result. Max of 4 or 5 minutes for whispers, even in large games. The game was designed for this and it's great.

I love a good Clocktower discussion, but it's been clear multiple times over that the game's subreddit is quite often a terrible place for it.

Great thread. The idea that YouTube is rewriting our language should really have more people up in arms.

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

I’m still not over the fact that Tim Walz went viral for calling Republicans ‘weird,’ put Trump and Vance on the defensive, then got picked as Harris’s running mate because of it, and then… he was immediately silenced, disappeared, and Dems stopped calling the GOP ‘weird.’

I don't see enough people saying it, so maybe I should. It's very disappointing to see Adam welcomed back into this space.

"If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, then you got a table with 11 Nazis." Something to keep in mind whenever Republican voters get pissy about being called Nazis for voting for people with Nazi sympathies.

The fact that the US government could come together to ban tiktok before they did anything meaningful to stop school shootings is fucking disgusting. They care more about stopping us from communicating freely on a platform they can't control than they care about kids not dying in school.

Had my first bout of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) last night since being diagnosed with diabetes. Fast heart rate, feeling anxious, hungry, unusually warm. Not a lot of fun. If there's a plus side though, I got to drink my first Pepsi after quitting cold turkey months ago.

Since 2019 episodes of AEW are now on MAX, I'm skimming through a bit of the first episode because it's been a long time. I still miss the colorful paint explosions from the intro. But it's interested other than an updated set and graphics, the look and feel of the product still feels pretty similar

It's a pretty cool week for Hard Claim. On Wednesday I'll be participating in a game of Clocktower on the @zeldathon.bsky.social stream (go donate!), and then earlier today we recorded a special episode of Hard Claim which you'll be able to see later this week!
