Apparently, Sarah Kendzior's Bluesky account has been suspended for no reason whatsoever. She is one of the best and most insightful critics of the US plutocracy around. This really needs to be fixed, pronto.

Plutofascism has decided to starve 42 million US citizens to death. It's time for the "No Kings" protests to become the "Food for All" uprising.

Every democratic society on the planet needs to move their political messaging and journalism away from Failon Husk's hellsite and onto Bluesky. Billionaires should not control our newsfeeds.

Pettis' thread is worth reading in full, but for context, the US net international investment position has reached minus 86% of its GDP (Federal Reserve data).

Every democracy on the planet needs to cut all remaining ties with Muscovy's vile death cult. No trade, no investment, no athletes, no tourism. #SlavaUkraïni

The lobotomization began in 1984, when the US neocons abolished the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), a small but hugely productive agency which advised Congress on science and technology. The OTA archive is here: www.princeton.edu/~ota/

The EU plus UK, Norway and Switzerland have a combined GDP of about $24 trillion. They can easily find the 0.4% of their GDP required to support Ukraine.

No. The videogame market in 2005 consisted of 500 million consumers in the core polities (US, EU, Japan) and 500 million consumers everywhere else. Today, it's 1 billion consumers in the core and 4 billion everywhere else. Games should cost a maximum of $40, not $80.

To paraphrase Theodor Adorno, in the soul of every neoliberal rages a neofascist.

Muscovy's orc horde is cracking. If those Flamingos arrive in volume, the Muscovite empire will implode sometime between autumn 2025 and spring 2026. If the Pink Bird of Mordor's Doom is delayed, then fall 2026. #SlavaUkraïni

The Orange Fascist is a horror, but China is an authoritarian disaster which doesn't lead the world in anything except busted real estate bubbles and jailing its own people. The age of hegemons is over, the age of the democracy of the 8 billion begins.

Can confirm. One of the best games of 2022, from Polish studio Flying Wild Hog. Top notch!

Pro tip for the culture vultures on this feed: check out one of Estonia's greatest writers, Jaan Kross, who wrote scathing and brilliant takedowns of the Soviet-era Muscovite empire disguised as realist novels and short stories.

Well, the Googfash -- the plutofascist slime previously called "Google" -- has destroyed Youtube. Just a garbage site with hideous screeching ads which are unblockable, unskippable and uncountable. Its time to follow Bluesky's lead and create a true public video-sharing site. #BreakUpBigTech

Google, one of the worst monopolies in human history, is now blocking Youtube for anyone who uses any type of ad blocking software, i.e. they are scanning our computers *without our permission*. The Googfash can Go. To. Hell. #BreakUpBigTech

My fellow US citizens, you have a simple and clear choice. If you channel your inner Muscovite and do nothing, you will die in the concentration camps the monsters of plutofascism are building. If all of us channel our inner Ukrainian and rise up, we can save our country.

I don't often flag new releases, but Rem Michalski, the Andrzej Wajda of Polish horror videogames, has a new spine-chiller on the way.

For me, engagement has been infinitely superior on Bluesky -- better algos, useful filters, less bot fakery. Literally a night-to-day experience. Also, a critical mass of indie videogame artists post here.

600 US billionaires and their Vichy functionaries have decided to turn 347 million US citizens into impoverished, illiterate slaves.

After declaring war on US science, education and civil rights for anyone who isn't a white male billionaire, US plutofascism has just declared war on US life expectancy.
