most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

Guess what? Boardgames are political. Sometimes very explicitly.

If you think the Republicans are the establishment in 2025, you are
either willfully blind or cartoonishly stupid.

One of the most devastating effects of chronic childhood lead exposure is spending your later years convinced it's anti-establishment to support a billionaire dictator

This new game is an area-impulse, science fiction miniatures game about marines sheering sheep.

He doesn’t know how any of this works, and the media is too afraid to honestly report how stupid he is.

Screenshot from DFP crosstabs:

The candidate pledges to support the Block the Bombs Act, a new bill in Congress which would withhold U.S. weapons to Israel and address concerns about Israel's violations of U.S. and international law.

It seems the pro-Israel consensus among Democrats is well and truly dead at this point. Dem primary voters prefer candidates who refuse to travel to Israel (by net +45%) and back a bill to end military aid to Israel (by net +61%). www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

I've now tried this with several new app passwords, and I even created a new Bluesky account and I keep getting stuck at the same spot. I've created a number of bots before and never had this issue. I'm stuck.

Two paper cups. On the left is the jazz cup; a white paper cup with a large blue and purple zigzag brushstroke pattern. On the right is a white paper cup with a design of lots of little yellow and orange flowers.

The solo cup; a red plastic with a white rim and white interior. There are ice cube and what looks like cola or root beer inside.

Greek diner paper coffee cup; a blue paper cup with text in a Greek-looking font that says, "We are happy to serve you" over top of images of three steaming coffee cups. There's a white on blue line motif around the top and bottom of the cup that's reminiscent of ancient Greek design and architecture.

White styrofoam McDonald's cup; the McDonald's is large at the bottom and above that there are three rows of just the M symbol much smaller; the top row is yellow, the next is orange, and the last is reddish-brown. Above all of that is the text, "Please put litter in its place." There's a white plastic lid on the cup.

Just thinking about some classic cups. Iconic. Timeless.

there is a certain kind of person across art, politics, basically every field of human endeavor who doesn't actually want to build anything, they just want an excuse to yell at other people who are building things to cover up for their deep insecurity and feelings of worthlessness

I think what happened is that there were people who were genuinely left out a lot of prosperity (workers), and there was a moron who constantly thought he was being scammed (Trump), and the moron's yakking proved to be surprisingly resonant with a lot of people. Now we all lose.

It's simply amazing to me that the U.S. spent 70 years (1945-2015) constructing a post-WW2 military, economic, and social world order to its liking, only to turn around and decide it was actually the victim of this order the entire time.

Artists in this show are working with both NFTs and AI, so maybe Bluesky is not the audience for this. Whatever. These are good artists making good work.
