Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Panel 1:
A soul, SONDER, is escorted by two angels down an ethereal path lined with stars. They are winged and have flower blooms for heads, but otherwise look humanoid. The surrounding realm is dark and has no color.

Panel 2:Β 
SONDER is sat down in an ornate chair in a large room; the space behind them is a latticed gothic wall that vaguely resembles a confessional booth.Β 

Panel 3:
Upshot of the CLERK: a bespectacled, celestial deer-headed being with an imposing presence, resembling a judge with a large open book in front of them.

1. CLERK: You’ve been a tricky soul to track down.


Panel 4:
SONDER looks listlessly up from their chair. The CLERK remains impassive.

1. SONDER: Am I in trouble?
2. CLERK: Let’s find out.

Panel 5:
The stars behind the CLERK’s head take on more humanoid shapes.

CLERK: 4. You see, I track every human soul that ventures too far from their bodies while dreaming, and guide them back. 5. I see everyone. I know everyone.

Panel 6:
A view of the CLERK’s open book. The name on the page is scrawled over and illegible.

CLERK: 6. But somehow, I do not know you. I cannot discern your name, nor where you come from, nor where you go. 7. So I’m curious… who are you?

Panel 7:
SONDER holds their hands, makes themself small.

8. SONDER : I’m no one.
9. CLERK: Is that so? State your case. Why should I let you roam free?

Panel 8:
Close-up on SONDER, who looks to be dissociating.

10. SONDER: Because I’m hungry.
11. CLERK (off-panel): Hungry? For what?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

So, β€œOrder of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
