Imagine if you called communist or socialist people “capitalism doomers”. It’s good to sound the warning about existential threats: calling people who want things to change for the better “doomers” is just a soft embrace of fascist rhetoric.
If you’re mad about another shitty Ryan Cooper post saying people who don’t want Covid or Long Covid are “doomers” take a deep breath and remember the time he described the Nintendo Switch as a product of Marxism. He isn’t qualified to think or write. He isn’t smart.

If anyone can help, Sheffield Mask Bloc could use a hand with funding! opencollective.com/sheffieldmas...
This war is an unspeakable crime and the people who ordered it and participated in it are criminals. Unforgivable.
The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.
Haven’t been here in a while. Have mainly been trying to pull my mental health out of the gutter with the help of some wonderful anti-covid people I’ve met this year. It still sucks to feel like you’re on an alien planet after six fuckin years of this shit - hang in there. And free Palestine
Judah Friedlander is doing a zoom show: he’s a very committed masker and I find his streamed standup to be healing www.eventbrite.com/e/judah-frie...
(Not to try and change your mind about NYE , I just think he’s neat)
Anyway despite you having the same hard line on Palestine he does as far as I can tell (free Palestine btw) he screencapped you on X rather than scroll past. Just a heads up.
He’s made an long video about being doxxed by an Argentine far right network before (I think some Australian involvement too). What I don’t think he realises was that event was never about games and instead (among other things) the far right developing/disseminating strategies on how to doxx people
COVID is still a thing. Wear an N95 at the convention, nerds!
Kinda want King Mob’s X-COM 2 PAPR deal
RIP Leslie Lee and Alice Wong
Look after each other. Check in on people.
As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
We know lots of you have been asking 3M for a Black Aura - like mask for consumer use.
Today we're excited to launch a new product to fill that hole in the market!
Introducing the headband version of BreatheTeq KN95.
Available in black and white.
The terror of being institutionalised for me is the thought I couldn’t defend and protect myself: that these things would be stripped away from me
www.thenation.com/article/soci... this is really excellent. Prison abolitionists need to fold anti-COVID practices into their work, particularly if they’re in proximity to the prison and near people who are entering/exiting and agitating to get prisoners safe conditions, masks and vaccines
Fuck I’m sorry
Have you ever got bored with a video game and you can’t really be arsed with playing smart, so you just force yourself through it with a crap strategy that means you get damaged? That’s how I think we’re being governed, and that’s what I think public health is now
Some days I feel like I’m going insane. It is very much a crisis of capital though - we could, with a significant reordering of society, build a world in which we aren’t all packed together like sardines. This would require slowing down, and profit extraction is about accelerating things
I believe that the state and media backed changing of the meaning of the word, 'Covid' to 'the period of time when non-pharmaceutical interventions were in place' rather than the disease itself will, in the future, be seen as the most damaging linguistic trick in history.
Literally the only good thing the game teaches is PPE: always wear a level 12 combat skin during a flood outbreak
The interesting and kinda awful thing about Halo is while it superficially resembles a native resistance narrative the deep lore was created by a guy who wanted to join the CIA out of collage and it’s actually this nativist narrative about who gets to colonise what
Greisemer has said he thinks leftists are so insane they would side with the flood. It absolutely rules and doesn’t at all suck that everything people remember from the last 25 years is devolving into right wing slop
Get well soon clove!
I'm a little sick haha
Yeah everyone is sick right now it's crazy
Hope he replies in some form
They did a gay Metal Gear Solid 2 on you :(
@denizcamp.bsky.social very cool to see Deniz! Thank you! www.reddit.com/r/UltimateUn...
Also “has written for Crossed” should put you on a list
