Just randomly remembered like 12 years ago seeing someone flying a flag that was the “Israeli” flag only there was a Swazi where the Star of David usually is 😂 That was ballsy and I respect that
I love the “Control” Easter eggs like the rubber duckies all over the FBC cabin in Alan Wake 2 😄
@nytimes.com also, it conveniently never mentioned how Bernie’s presidential campaigns were sabotaged by the DNC (since he was winning primaries as a Dem. Socialist) so this whole framing of “Americans dont accept socialism” is BS (esp. when recent polls show the support for socialism growing)
Hey @nytimes way to spread misinformation about the DSA on the Daily today! Wanting to end the prison-industrial complex & focus on preventing crime is not the same as “abolishing the police & prisons” which is actually nowhere on the official platform. Your framing of this is very skewed
Can’t help but also be fucking STOKED for a new Witcher 3 DLC. It was already gorgeous & a GOAT so a remaster feels unnecessary but I’m here for it!!
I just signed a @dsa4aoc.bsky.social petition: DSA for AOC! Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...
Petition: DSA for AOC!
2028 is an unprecedented opportunity for Democratic Socialism. Together we can win an Arms Embargo, push for Medicare For All and a Green New Deal, and start a Third Reconstruction. Let's keep buildin...

I just contributed with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: North Lake Commissary Fund. Contribute here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...
North Lake Commissary Fund
I donated to Metro Detroit DSA to help ICE Detainees afford basic necessities in the North Lake Facility! Can you pitch in as well?

Possible hot take: Lego needs to stop making sets for every IP that exists, and so does Magic the gathering. Give it a REST, cmon guys sheesh
Also Dragon Quest VII is of course fun and lighthearted, still playing here and there but not one of those “can’t put this down” kinda games
PS5: -started Alan Wake 2 finally, wow. Just wow. Shoulda finished some other stuff first 😂 -Marvel Tokon FS is gorgeous and a ton of fun to play. Xbox: -ClairObscur still keeps getting better -Persona3 is long but still I’m determined to finish it S2: Splatoon Raiders!
The newer model PS3 and the Switch 2 kinda vibe aesthetically, imo 🤷♂️😌
Man I don’t care that I had to use tape I took this warped shit apart and replaced it’s broken belt and put the shit back together but the frame is warped af so duct tape was the perfect solution, it’s working like a dream now 😂💪 #fixxdatshit #oldtech
What a crazy time to be alive: full on Neo Fascism in the 21st century, and working people are organizing like crazy in response 🌹 So proud of MDDSA and all the volunteers helping get Abdul El Sayed elected along with D McKinney, Rashida Tlaib and many more ! #wethotsocialistsummer
Also why do these RPGs keep taking characters I become emotionally invested in and decide to kill them like wtf stop
Dude, Splatoon Raiders is.. pretty fuckin sweet idk, Nintendo is cooking lately
Why is Pokopia a game-key card but not DK Bananza or Starfox? 🤔🤔 Anyways- I generally dislike remakes, but the new Starfox on Switch2 is pretty cold, I can’t deny. It made me get the N64 controller cause Starfox64 was a major childhood love of mine and only the n64 controller will feel right 😂
I knew Shinji was the rebel bad boy but woo! This f bomb was a surprise 😂
WHERE IS THE WEIRD AL PARODY OF “MIA“ BY BAD BUNNY CALLED “ONOMATOPOEIA“
Had a great day sorting out pallets & boxes of aid to Cuba with fellow Detroit DSA members and volunteers from the Michigan Action for Cuba Committee - plus pizza, camaraderie and watching Spain in the World Cup! 🌹
Remember friends: Fascism is Capitalism’s death throws as it desperately tries to stay in control while it is also falling apart
We are living in a flashpoint where we are seeing the real time collapse of capitalism and the gaming industry as we know it
The US has such an incredible case of Stockholm syndrome in its relationship w/ Capitalism.. “ I know he beats & starves me, but it’s because he loves me! The real problem are people who were born different than me!” 😭😩
It’s sad when people feel that even more division & hatred among themselves is the solution to problems stemming from the alienating & life-denying social organization of capitalism. 😔
This is very hard to read, but worth sharing for awareness. In my opinion, AI should be HEAVILY REGULATED and used to actually try and do GOOD things Whole towns are being destroyed by data centers so that stupid or EVIL people can do this shit. Why?? Follow the money, always !
The expanded class action suit accuses X “of shielding child predators by obstructing police investigations into Grok-generated child sex abuse materials (CSAM).” CW for descriptions of child harm and sexual assault.
As a gamer, when contemplating just how much better a world under Socialism would be, consider- not just how much more time you’d have to play games- but also: how much gaming would improve if the focus of it shifted away from profits for billionaires
