‘Defend your culture.’

ICE sure sounds like it’s borrowing from Replacement Theory as a recruitment tool. Who exactly are they hoping will apply — white nationalists?

Several people sitting, holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

I am at Parliament Square in London, where I am watching peaceful protesters arrested for holding signs. History will remember all of these brave people as heroes.

Lots of AAA bad decisions are being made. Nintendo bricking switches, half-baked rush jobs, trying to make everything a live service, that sort of thing.

Thank Texas Dems

The Texas GOP's redistricting plan is a DIRECT ATTACK on voting rights! Thousands have testified against it, but Abbott & Co. are pushing forward.

Dem lawmakers are risking arrest & fines to stop this betrayal. #MessWithTexas social.demcast.com/s/Ht6yPg2i

ATTENTION📢

“For folks watching at home that believe that voters should pick their politicians instead of Donald Trump picking your member of Congress, call your governor. Call your state legislator & tell them to fight back against what’s happening in Texas.”- @repcasar.bsky.social

Thank Texas Dems

Texas GOP's surrender to Trump sparks outrage! Greg Abbott's cowardly betrayal puts every community in the state at risk. Dem lawmakers are fighting back, risking arrest & fines to stop this assault on democracy! #MessWithTexas social.demcast.com/s/BeYhAWaw

We cannot let fascists take over our country!

That's what Texas extremists are trying to do. They are trying to eliminate all Democratic districts by redrawing the districts in a crazy way.

We cannot let this go unanswered.

Think I'll see if my library has a copy of that book. Sounds right up my alley.

People really don’t like bullies, Greg.

Passing this out for further awareness. I know it's exhausting; I know it's yet another thing for Americans to be concerned about, I know we're all tired

But this is such an egregious breach of privacy and would knock so many people effectively completely offline. Add pressure. Please.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Gov. Abbott is calling for redistricting in Texas. This is extraordinary because redistricting is only supposed to occur every ten years. The GOP is trying to steal seats!

#MesswithTexas

We really aren't pointing and laughing at gen ai users enough

I absolutely lose all respect for anyone that says they use it.

Mid journey, chatgpt whatever other stupid names thing a tech bro craps out

We are well past the "I didn't know stage" anyone using it is in willing participation of theft

Fair. We need more preservation options all around.

True story.

🚨 Texas Democrats just made history.

James Talarico and his colleagues walked out to block a Trump-led power grab.

They didn’t just break quorum—they shattered the authoritarian playbook.
Trump ordered 5 new GOP seats.

Talarico said: Not on our watch.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social

🚨 Ken Paxton wants Dems arrested for refusing to help rig an election.

That’s rich coming from a guy indicted on three felony counts of securities fraud, accused by his top deputies of bribery, abuse of office, while allegedly using burner phones, secret emails & fake names to dodge accountability.

Someone in Trump's DOJ has waved Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status so they could transfer her to a minimum security facility near the US border

FCS! The woman trafficked, groomed and even raped underage girls!!

I think I'll patronize my local used game stores a bit. Keep circulating the tapes, cartridges, and discs.

Nintendo has a survey up now, particularly aimed at discussing the likely hood of you buying digital games (like the "download key" cartridges)

I know I personally will not now nor ever buy a game for a system that I do not own the physical copy for

Share your feelings with them in survey form

This is a perfect example of my inability to predict what people will like. Like I thought the myth of the golden dong one would hit much harder, but this one is going places.

People think I have artistic integrity, but I'm really just *incredibly* inept at giving the audience what it wants.

NBC News Headline: Texas Democrats arrive in Illinois to deny Republicans a quorum on redistributing.

There’s a reason people say that Texas isn’t a Red state, it’s a voter suppression state. The GOP is so emboldened to do whatever they want that they don’t even try to hide their cheating, but this has national implications so we need to fully support these Dems who are fighting for ALL of us!

Fan of the indie scene. I'll happily take amateur sketch art with flaws and soul over polished nothing. I may very well do just that when I'm ready to publish my own games.

Exactly right. But Trump's plan is not to "fix the team" but to replace the scoreboard operator with someone who will post a score he likes. Trump cooks the books. It is a matter of record. He has done it his whole career. He's trying to do it now with the entire US economy. Won't end well.

For me, it was Hastings. Wander the aisles, find unexpected gems. Get excited when you're the one to grab the last cartridge of the hot new game. Find old previous generation favorites in the bargain bin.

I also miss classic arcades. We need to find new ways to recapture their social aspect.

Democrats are going on offense with Veterans—running to flip tough seats and take back the House.

Their service didn’t end when they took off the uniform—it just entered a new chapter.

I think I'll look into this one.

Stewpot - Evil Hat Productions SKU: EHP0068 You play a retired adventurer running a tavern and settling down in a town. Put down the sword and pick up the ladle.

3. Stewpot (@evilhat.bsky.social & @noroadhome.bsky.social)

An obvious choice, perhaps, for this prompt. But this game goes far deeper than just being a tavern building TTRPG. Retired adventurers, learning how to integrate into society again, and overcoming shared loss, grief, and trauma. 🥘🍺

I got mad about AI so I made this comic about The Fucking Point of it all (1/7)
