The fucking kitchen sink here: in addition to the usual stuff about high prices - which is a real and necessary point of attack - bludgeon 'em with non-stop charges of child rape, defense of child rape, massive corruption / theft from taxpayers, subversion of the U.S. Constitution. DON'T BE SUBTLE.

Never been a more moral time to be buying indie games instead of the Big Boys. It's like getting your coffee from the locally owned cafe on the high street instead of a massive bucket of watered down piss slurry from EvilCoffeeCorp that burns down the rainforest. Buy indie, they have your back.

This is obvious race-baiting, flailing dictator wannabe bullshit. But they still haven’t learned how tough Rep. Omar is. She’s also incredibly popular in her district: won her last election with approx 75% of the vote despite both conservative Democrats and ALL Republicans trying to take her out.

Your occasional reminder that the Founding Fathers were not psychic democracy angels descended from Heaven but problem children spot-welding a first of its kind system together while both (often) being drunk and (always) hating each other.

I work in a game store, and I'm asked for my favorite all the time, but I know better than to assume my tastes map onto this rando who thinks all modern games are complicated.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I have already shared this. But I want you to watch it. Whomever you are. If you know all about JK Rowling or you're on the fence or whatever. Watch this. It's important, I want EVERYONE to see it. We need to reject JK Rowling. At any cost. Thank you, Hoots. I love you and am glad you exist.

Fate Core by @evilhat.bsky.social . Character creation just means writing down what makes your character interesting, rather than choosing from a pre-approved list of "cool" ideas and then doing fights with them.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

We do not have to watch the wizard bigot show. We do not have to write about the wizard bigot show. We can simply point out that the people making it chose to endorse bigotry. And not reward it with coverage or eyeballs.

I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer.
