This may interest some folks. Much more serious and thought out than my own hot takes. https://taggart-tech.com/discord-alternatives/

Fed up with your world? Visit ours. Picture of the Clarkesworld robot looking over at the cover of our February issue. That cover features a robot looking out at the sea while standing on the beach with their hands clasped behind their back. The water comes gently towards their feet. Peaceful ocean and sky. A contemplative moment of peace. Cover art by Matt Dixon.

It's time for your periodic reminder that we count on subscriptions to keep the lights on.

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direc...

We’re a few days away from the DHS funding deadline, which means Democrats have real leverage to stop the regime’s secret police.

Demand that Democrats refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Billionaires who are raping children pay millionaires complicit in the rape of children that trans people are the groomers and immigrants are dangerous.

Mind you.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

Thanks everyone who stopped by stream, despite it being short.

Do you:
1) Live near/in Buffalo?
2) Like to organize stuff?
3) Hate what the government is doing to science?

If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, D’Youville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

My wife is there and the updates I'm getting make me cry with joy, to see how people are moving together, to see her and my friends on MPLS City Council and my friends in Brass Solidarity and UNION WORKERS and so many others so unified in purpose and action. I really do believe that we will win.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

ICE Out for Good On January 23, people across the country are taking action in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE out of our communities. Join the day of action.

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

I guess this post escaped containment, so here's the local media with the partial, constantly updated list of closures.

bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

If you live in the US, you can show solidarity by joining the strike! Last I checked, over 215 cities have solidarity actions today!

BREAKING and HUGE news for transgender people: The bipartisan final negotiated text for these spending bills REMOVED language to restrict gender-affirming care as part of the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program.

None of this is a sign of strength and there is no plan. It's a tremendous show of weakness. Trump is creating chaos and flinging everything at the wall like a mad king. They're losing and they know it but like cornered animals that makes them more dangerous.

Governor Pritzker lights the menorah.

I’m proud and eternally grateful to be the governor of a state where we cherish our diversity.

In joining together with our Jewish community to light the menorah tonight, Illinoisans once again have reaffirmed that the light outshines darkness.

Happy Hanukkah.

HEY LA: Join the protest at Spotify HQ in the LA Arts District at 12p PT.

Spotify is doubling down on its decision to help recruit for ICE, so we're turning up the volume on our Cancel Spotify campaign until they stop running ICE ads: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level.

We must stop this takeover before it's too late.
