I have now moved to the position that "slop" is too overused of a term to be acceptable. It all has to go now.

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

I've kept up very little about the Missouri U.S. house race, but can anyone tell me what people like about Wesley Bell? I just don't know that much about the political scene there and it seems that I'm not the only one.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wesley Bell wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Missouri's 1st Congressional District.

The idea of making tiny games is always tricky to me because I have such a strong preference towards narrative. Not to mention that often the most important part of a game is the usable/accessible software that surrounds it. Could easily take six months just to build and refine that.

PSA for the day: you gotta keep your boring friends close. Better they're with you than captured by some wayward cult or ideology. They don't need to keep up with ALL your escapades through life! And who knows, maybe eventually they'll adopt one of your quirkier qualities.

Our apps are currently experiencing a delay, which may be impacting your experience. We are aware of this issue and are working to fix it. Thank you all for your patience!

The one rule about putting out an aggressive or confrontational take out is you can’t do the “I’m just a little guy and it’s my birthday” if people disagree. You gotta be prepared to defend it, you’re an adult!

I Am Here To Defend The Noble Action Movie From The Classicist Emily Wilson

So calling broke bois plate-lickers is gonna be a thing now right?

I did this. It was so worth it. I am emotional.

I have to wait another week and a half to see The Odyssey because that's the soonest I could get tickets to the only IMAX theater (with the correct aspect ratio) in town. But it will be worth it.

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

The immigrant union troops who defended their adopted country from slaver traitors are in fact, proof of concept of American higher ideals having nothing to do with “blood” or “heritage” or whatever cowardly euphemism is in vogue among these pathetic losers

If you think a WNBA player being anti trans is weird, I invite you to check out youth sports which is very right wing coded and infested with evangelicals who start grooming kids asap.

This is a bad piece. 1. It uncritically makes use of prosecution materials to piece together what activists thought and did 2. It whitewashes resistance in Minn, Chicago, and elsewhere 3. It betrays ignorance of movement history, from abolitionism through the panthers through M4BL

"Their actions ensured that they struggled to achieve sympathetic media coverage outside of a few left-wing outlets, struggled to attract material or legal support (the ACLU, for instance, refused to touch the case), and failed to achieve positive virality in the larger culture."

Franchises are fine, calm down aftermath.site/franchises-are...

Failure is inevitable, so don't fail in vain. Failure is not fatal, but failure to change may be. Failure is knowledge which can be used as the foundations of success. Fail early, fail often, fail forward. And as often as you fail, learn from it - and use it as a stepping stone to something better.

I know this is supposed to feel like a huge thing, but it doesn't to me. I've grown numb to it. Yet another vector for massive job losses in the gaming industry.
