I thought those links were awesome and a great idea! Shows we artists are capable of multiple things and caring about art and the world. It was excellent and I appreciated it!

On your note of feeling guilty about taking a break from the world to do theater for 11 days. The links are great, but being part of a creative community sharing stories, and POV is also valuable as it seems the world burns around us. It can't be the only thing we do, but it's still important.

I grew up with conservatives telling me the govt would roll the military through our cities, ignoring constitutional rights and we need to be ready to fight them. Now that a conservative government is doing that those same people are silent.

If this happened to any "centrist" Dems, we would hear about it for generations. He would be anointed the Second Coming of Clinton. His James Carville would be booking media hits 50 years from now.

How D&D, Theater, and Housing Advocacy Came Together in Minneapolis’s North Loop This is the kind of theater we need in the tumultuous social and political world we live in.

I wrote another piece about unique local theater, this time with an alternative housing program doing theater for social awareness and advocacy. I'm very proud of this one and would love for you to read it.

Hello Bluesky, I swear I'll try to get good about interacting/posting on here. Meanwhile I wrote an article about a really beautiful piece of theater that happened in Minneapolis last month.

The Anti-Empathy Revolution of Elon Musk Musk views empathy as a β€œbug” that threatens his political agenda. This framing is instructive.

"To counter the forces of alienation and animosity that seek to divide us, we must build a culture of care. By creating as much safety and justice as we can, wherever we are, we will forge bonds that will sustain us in moments of collective resistance and refusal."

I've 100% the game including all endings for the original and PL. I think I'm on my 9th full playthrough. As said an embarrassing amount of time. In true CP fashion they all really make me sad, but are unforgettable.

This will work because administrations of universities care more about finding than free speech or students. The Gaza protests showed this. Never seen a college admin that didn't want an excuse to squash student unrest.

Trying to post more here, it's hard to break old habits. I've been at Magic Con Chicago this weekend. It's a blast. Played tons of games, met nice people, cracked packs, met artists, got cards signed, saw some cool shows live, and even got a new tattoo. Expensive weekend but 10/10 would do again.

When Democrats basically claim they can only exercise political power under optimal conditions, they’re admitting they’re useless since the U.S. political system is set up to almost always be difficult/less than optimal. That’s why big political achievements/disruptions require struggle and resolve.

Repeat after me: "All billionaires only care about enriching themselves and advancing their own investing and interest and will burn the planet down and make everyone a mindless drone if it makes them a buck." Otherwise known as: There ae no good billionaires. They are dragging humanity down.

Maybe eliminating the need for student loans and making it easier for anyone to have access to advanced education might be a good idea.

It would certainly be cheaper than building all this AI nonsense. Better for the environment too.

For people that work in tech *only*.

An important clarification on what federal employees mean when they say "probationary period."

In tech, we're very reluctant to promote an engineer from say, level 5 to level 6, until we have enough time to know that the level 6 performance is sustainable.
