avg bluesky user: don’t call it “revenge” when it’s accountability under the law. framing matters. your aunt on facebook: I want my nazi scalps
also, I posted what I thought was a joking post this morning about bluesky immediately starting to yell at dems again and then people started to yell at me as if I was serious so I deleted it, but I want to be clear: you should yell at those two, they deserve it
I called my normielib parents today and they complained about jeffries and schumer’s messaging unprompted if you want to know how that’s going over so far

Uggghhhh if anyone would be willing to supplement for the fact that I guess I’m going to urgent care instead of doing DoorDash tonight cause I can’t really walk on my freshly broken toe, that would be a blessing 🙏🤕 We’re still kind of living day to day and back to $0 Ko-fi.com/PaniniKill

They never put actual organizers on TV which is why they never fully understand what's happening in the country.
I think this is common enough now that you could call it a phenomenon, where the defining limitations of a classic game are removed, and players call it an "improvement" on "clunky" mechanics and controls. IMO the mechanics define games as much if not more than the themes or aesthetic vibe.
Melos Han-Tani (Danchi Days OUT NOW!)@hantani.bsky.social · 2d agoEnjoying Queen's Domain so far, although a portion of the playerbase calling it an improvement on king's field is concerning to me! What defines King's Field are the controls (esp. the cam controls which deeply affect the action), lack of jump, and slow classic dungeon-crawler-esque pace
trans people get basic human rights and access to necessary medical care
Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 3d agoWhat's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)
remember when the DNC was like "oh god we're out of money please give us more" and it turns out it was because all of a sudden there were eight billion seats they never thought were in play where it was worth spending money the world where they have another couple hundred mil is even funnier
sasha (they/them)@returnedknyaz.bsky.social · 2d agolooking at districts that republicans ended up winning or slightly ahead and oh my fucking GOD this was almost so much worse for them there's so many 1-4 point losses
I’m feeling better and it’s stream time! Today we’re gonna hop back into 2xko after like months to try the new characters and then probably play some deadlock :3 twitch.tv/rose_waltz
There should be a new category of game award that is just "most immaculate skeletons" and it should go to Queen's Domain

With Mississippi's U.S. Senate race effectively tied, know this: About 70,000 people in Mississippi are blocked from voting because of felony convictions. *Two-thirds* of them are Black—a huge overrepresentation in a state where Black people make up less than 40% of the overall population.

Got thai today (it was yummy) and we overheard a guy next to us talking about how he asked chat gpt to turn his friend into an action figure and how cool it looked and me and my friend gave eachother the “we both hear this and it’s funny but let’s not react” look
Honey these newsrooms are filled with sociopaths who will step over your corpse on their climb up the brunchlord social ladder without a second thought It's absurd. A whole class of status obsessed, inkstained Agnes Van Rhijns. Just completely bizarre, insular, woefully misplaced priorities.
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · 4d agoOne of the things that really struck me about NYT that mirrored my Cornell experience is you could meet someone at a party and if you weren't significant enough by the light of day they would pretend they had never met you. I asked someone who went to Harvard and she said it was true there too.
do any of y'all look at what ancient humans accomplished and feel kinda inadequate
if that ever happens I just remind myself that we didn't invent depth perception in art until like 800 years ago
