Absolutely incredible work here from @hankgreen.bsky.social:

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

The Supreme Court Seems Ready To Hand Trump His Dream Of One-Party Rule The conservative justices appear ready to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The only question is how.

The Supreme Court's conservative justices appeared likely to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a decision that would have massive consequences for the future of Black political representation in the South

Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go,

…but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

I think it should remain possible to work professionally on video games without having to move

Trump and Republican politicians see their own voters as collateral damage in their culture war against progressive values.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Hey Georgia! @hankgreen.bsky.social has a convincing pitch for why you should vote AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS in the upcoming Georgia Public Service Commission special election! Potentially save consumers money, kick out some Rs, feel good! YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT HUGELY! www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

People need reflection. I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

I don't want to hear anymore empathy for ICE agents, period. Some of y'all give way way too much leniency to mindless agents of the state. People who CHOOSE to be mindless agents of the state, who CHOOSE to "just follow orders". Sick

More reporting about how that ICE raid in South Shore might have been as much about evicting all the residents of the building for Wells Fargo as it was to kidnap migrants without due process.

Adding foreground elements - depth is still vital for 2D games!

Almost missed this Ludum Dare! Found out on Saturday morning. The theme was perfect, got an idea instantly. Started Sunday, finished Monday night with help from Josh & Vlad. They nailed the testing, balance, and SFX.

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment. But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way: Are we more unified than we were before? Are we bigger than we were before? Are our tactics proliferating? Is the regime’s popularity falling?

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

A drawing of Hua Cheng from his chest up. He is smiling with both eyes visible, his left almost black and his right red. His hair is flowing behind his shoulders and to the top left of the drawing are red flowers with butterflies on the right. His hands are in front of his chest, his left under his right. In his left hand are various cards while in-between some fingers of his right are a pair of dice. Around him is red frame with a Grey background. On the top right of the frame are the words "the gambler".

Sora is not the real problem here. The real problem is that in 12, at most 24 months, there will be a Sora clone from Tencent or Alibaba that is just as good and can be run by anybody with a 5099, at which point everyone in society needs to rapidly agree to treat all digital video as fake, period.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."
