I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Just named my horse in #GhostofYōtei. Well done @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social ! I finished up Tsushima back in June and I feel like I haven’t skipped a beat in negotiating Yōtei.

I’m also really enjoying @erikaishii.bsky.social ‘s performance as Atsu!

Story is intriguing and gameplay is tight!

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.

But America was founded on criticism.

American democracy was built on dissent.

Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

Love the @legaleagle.tv support in @anyaustin.bsky.social ‘s latest video! Very cool.

@thatnerdnad.bsky.social as an AMAB NB, thanks for the recent shout out. I found the yogurt I was looking for when I opened the fridge immediately after I saw it.

Really bummed Acolyte only got one season…

Keep it wizard!

Just read this delightful article by @beautybot.bsky.social ! I definitely need to go back and finish at least one of my playthroughs!

@samanthabeart.bsky.social didn’t know you were NB as well. Very cool! Really enjoyed the last quote in the article regarding Karlach’s approach to gender too.

Sweet! Subbed! Nice to see another Illinoisan doing good stuff!

@thesaintoftous.bsky.social I expected the same points to be made when I defend Korra against other Aang stans (in friendly, not serious debates) and got so much more out the article.
Thank you for putting such a fine point on their comparative struggles and contextualizing when the series both ran!

Korra is a more important Avatar than Aang She faces bigger challenges, and does more with them

Preach @thesaintoftous.bsky.social

They will be in my head-cannon

Should have done hashtags in my original post. Don’t think I can edit it after I post so here I am tagging #Polygon and #VoxMedia.

And I guess #Cracked.com? I don’t know what I am doing. Somebody help.

Also, @samreich.bsky.social if there was ever a time to launch a video game wing/show/development at #Dropout, now would be the time!

Still can’t believe Vox Media sold Polygon. Really feels like Cracked being sold and gutted long ago. Lots of my favorite writers from that era are doing great things today and I sincerely hope to see my favorite former Polygon writers do great things in the future. My heart goes out to yall!

Polygon sold to GameRant owner Valnet The sale includes layoffs.

Wtf

ICE are the criminals. They just do crime.

Re-reading the same book I re-read back in 2017. Fun quote on page 20:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed, from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” -Thomas Jefferson

Which I think is neat.

Great book, #HowToFightPresidents

Been seeing “anti-woke” used to describe the new policy changes. Gee, if only we had a word for “not woke” or “not awake”…

Yeah same on the X也 for written pronouns. Thanks and no worries! My search continues!

Hey! Any chance you know how to say non-binary person though? Best I’ve got is 菲二人 and I can’t tell if it’s the concept or a poor translation that has people look at me weird.

新年快乐 by the way!

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Thanks! Loved your special and am part way through your Gastronauts episode by the way.

Yeah man. I dunno. I think the grandma forgot to bring the turkey and went back home.
