The distinction is a false one. All games are cooperative. The very act of agreeing to & honouring rules, & the deeper compact, of temporarily engaging in the roleplay that the drama taking place on the table is *important* - this is a fundamentally cooperative enterprise.

I’m the One Who Should Apologize? This isn’t about borders, but about what we lose when we stop seeing each other

“Some of you think what’s happening to Ukraine is far away.
But I’m telling you: it’s your story too.

“Every day feels like a battle
Battle of the self, battle of the mind
Just try to be kind to yourself “

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Let him have it Mark Carney should be too busy to play games with Pierre Poilievre

"The favours are the punishment."

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

I was a SUPER-BIG FAN of Carney even haphazardly criticizing Israel and I hope it continues.

Wanna make ME happy this week?

Send a big fucking planeload of Canadian wheat and Saskatchewan lentils to Gaza. Feed them.

FEED THEM, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

“Nothing I offer here will be enough. And yet, so many of us are waiting for something we can join, which presents a true opportunity to be the first person in your circle welcoming fellow travelers into halting, shaky, earnest action.” @garrettbucks.bsky.social

What does Maga-land look like? Let me show you America's unbeautiful suburban sprawl | Alexander Hurst I drove 2,000 miles with a French friend across my home country – and saw the endless nowhere land that is the crucible of Trumpism, says Guardian Europe correspondent Alexander Hurst

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

I don't know how to say this any louder

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS MORE RADICAL, MORE FASCIST, MORE VIOLENT THAN ANYONE IN MAINSTREAM POLITICS OR MEDIA IS WILLING TO ADMIT OUT LOUD

THEY ARE FULLY IN THRALL TO A MOVEMENT OF ONLINE NAZIS THAT WANT TO END AMERICA AND KILL MANY, MANY PEOPLE
