Doug 🔜 PAX Unplugged

i dont want ai to do my dishes i want life to not be such a relentless meat grinder that dishes feel like a burden

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Oh, shit! I've failed you bc I first heard about this like two weeks ago, but thought that surely Babs would have heard about the queer hockey show...

“A Ceasefire in Name Only” — @scotnational.bsky.social is not afraid to call out Israel's continued attacks on Gaza

expanding the court is the moderate position

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan:

"[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

me: i hate remakes and reboots, booo
also me: i understand a muppet lord of the rings would be a rights nightmare but imagine a muppet star wars. disney owns them both! someone call michael the mouse and tell him to stop being a coward and let us have pigs in space: star wars edition

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude.

It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

Tim Sweeney is a daft twat.

The older I get the more I understand why the grinch wanted to stay home with his dog.

A picture of an 80 pound hound-mix dog with red, black, and white spotted fur snoozes contentedly on Doug's hip while taking up a third of their couch.

I know a thing or two about that...

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Happy Thanksgiving! FUCK COLONIZERS

Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting (serving the turkey) but all the faces are replaced with Gritty.

I hope you all have a very Gritty Thanksgiving.

What do you MEAN Fast Pace for Pride starts tomorrow????

How has it already snuck up on us this quickly?

Hope you tune in this weekend, a lot of care and effort goes into these events, and we would love nothing more than to share this weekend with you!

hi tomorrow is a great day to talk food but also a great day to uplift native voices and art so check out this book i saw at the bookstore today

Damn it, Randall. Not while I'm already in my feels, man!

He’s such a piece of shit. We killed thousands by deliberately ignoring HIV/AIDS in the 80s

I'm now co-ordinating with 20 different AP producers to start an AP collection on the Internet Archive 🤩

Step 1: get the list of contacts ✅
Step 2: get everyone to make accounts at archive.org and send me their handles
Step 3: start building records!

A masc enby with a long red beard, Doug, smirks at the camera in a purple tie-dye shirt with the PAX '25 logo on it and a yellow hi-visibility vest. They are also wearing glasses and a plaid scally cap in gray, purple, and pink.

Hey gang,

As I sit here on yet another Thanksgiving eve in my truck, do me a favor, would ya? Give your loved ones an extra squeeze for me.

Life on the road is fun, but it absolutely gets lonely as hell at times. I'm really looking forward to getting to spend a little time at home tomorrow.

A photo of six people, five of them in matching purple long-sleeve shirts bearing the PAX Unplugged logo, stand and kneel in a group as one of them in the middle, Doug, holds and giant inflatable 20-sided die. Two femmes hold collapsible fans, and one masc on the far-left end of the group wears a giant red bow on his head.

Well, that's another #PAX in the books. Had blast acting like an entire goober for people's amusement with my fellow [E]nforcers. Made memories and friends to stand the test of time.

And Pennsylvania can't get rid of me for long, as #AGDQ is right around the corner!

...And now I'm bawk-bawking to the tune of Golden in the airport restaurant.

I don't hate it 🤷

good morning ✨🌈✨

you are more than what you make.

your interests don't need to be "productive" to be worthwhile

it's okay to love things that others call childish or irrelevant or cringe.

love what you love, so long as you harm none in your pursuit.

you are valid.

You worked your damn ass off this weekend, fam. I can only imagine how exhausted you are. I was only "on" for 5 hours at a time doing line entertainment and I'm BEAT.

If for some reason the idea of working with me sounds appealing (weird energy but whatever), I am looking for a co-lead and a social media lead. 🙂

You'll be helping me put on Black events at GDQ and socials will be injecting some life into our channel on @blackinaflash.bsky.social !

I'll personally vouch for the work of @printinkling.bsky.social and @punklenix.bsky.social . Both do fantastic work in nerdy themes!
