Hey everyone going to GenCon, If you're *ANY* flavor of Brown or Black? Please be careful.

(We seriously need to start having conversations about having GenCon in a place that is this fucking fascist. but ya'll *keep* going back)

I see he wages war the same way he lives the rest of his life:

Targeting schoolgirls.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

Our President is, and always has been, a racist pedophile who attacks girls and murders children just because he can, and because to this point nobody has stopped him.

Just this week:

- Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old

- Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots

- Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran

- Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

I'm convinced that the US political divide is:

People who embrace diversity

People who like diversity but have one or two groups they'd like to eliminate or segregate, as long as it's quiet

People who are pants-pissingly terrified of a world in which everyone isn't identical to them

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: ​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. ​An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. ​An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. ​An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.

This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.

This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

Honestly my only hesitation about the upcoming Mutant Saga in the MCU is this:

It is going to make straight people think that the X-Men are in any way *for* them.

Like, that's such a terrible thing to do to them. Extremely unfair and unkind.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Nearly blind refugee abandoned by US border patrol found dead in Buffalo Investigation under way after man was dropped off five miles from home but family wasn’t notified, officials say

While cruelty has always been the point of Trump's whole Administration, nothing highlights that more than dropping a nearly blind elderly man 5 miles from nowhere in freezing weather so that he die alone, afraid, and abandoned.

This is Trump's America.

It's so ironic how often bigots talked about being "unpersoned" because people did not want to socialize with them. You know what's really an "unpersoning"? Having no driver's license in a rural area. Losing the one ID you need to vote or pay taxes or open a bank account.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Not gonna lie - seeing this notice at Getty Images' iStock site of stock images/art was weirdly very endearing. Like, seeing it felt like finding a fucking safe port in a damned storm and that's wild to me.

Another year, another plea for help from someone whose work is the basis for a $200m blockbuster movie.

And this is why every “moderate“ Democrat is in essence really a moderate authoritarian. They will continue to invest in a broken system as long as the rich and the white are at the top of the pyramid.

The only way out is revolutionary change.

GODS big same ❤️

Grok insists my dissertation adviser was a man I've never met and says my first book won several prizes that don't even exist but I'm sure it'll work out fine to give it access to classified defense systems.

newsom just being this meme incarnate

And to add to this, things don't get algorithmically re-shown, so reposting stuff is not only not-bad it's encouraged!

Literally impeach every single impeachable person in the entire chain of command, including Trump.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

"Schlitzmaxxing"

Ye gods there is no vernacular so terrible that the Achilli cannot make so so much worse

We as a society really need to start assuming (publicly, constantly) that people who conflate being queer with being a danger to children are themselves pedophiles.

The response to "We have to protect kids from trans ideology" should be "Okay groomer"

It's cathartic, but also usually correct.
