its so funny to me anyone tries to make the argument of "we should exclusively focus on class struggle instead of identity politics" because the ways in which RWers use """unrelated""" bigotry to defeat socialism is extremely fucking transparent

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Sorry for the late announcement on this - I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it due to the getting hit with a cold this past Monday. I'm now recovered from that, and will be at the signing and panel! I'll still be masking just in case and encourage you to do the same if you can. See you there, maybe!

We genuinely need to declare war on the "professionals" gatekeeping trans healthcare.

its funny because what james somerton did is categorically less bad than sexual assault and we still managed to all agree that he doesnt deserve a platform lol

me, an idiot: the civ games are so unrealistic. there would never be a scenario where one nation forgot to upgrade one of their units causing them to run medieval warrior monks into platoons of modern soldiers the bespoke consensus reality we all inhibit:

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

FIRSTLY as the piece alludes: Loren Rex Cameron’s also-trans and arguably more famous older sister, Cameron, was a I believe fully stealth working model and actress (a la plot of Pose) in the 80s and 90s mostly … I rewatched like I dunno, dozens of TNG episodes, where she appeared as Ensign Kellogg:

i can't believe this is a legit and not-vandalized page

5-0d with this exact list after taking a bit of a break from magic, even despite the metagame shifting to target it the deck is still incredibly powerful and a good choice. list in alt text @fireshoes.bsky.social

ngl it makes me deeply uncomfortable how many trans people view (for lack of a better term) cisnormative gender presentation as intrinsically less authentic and honest than visible queerness

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Means testing is just wedge used to turn the obviously outrageous "should we have this social net at all" into "who deserves this social net?". Every edge case is then used as an argument to diminish provision until it's gone. Cynically using people's sense of fairness to fuck everyone over.

"oh but middle class people will get that pittance" just fuck off man. Either you're an idiot or a liar. Either way, fuck off.

I've seen so many folks playing Aniimo lately, likely who aren't aware of the GenAI use in the game. Just a PSA that Aniimo DOES indeed include GenAI in both the promotional material and in game.

Duck AI Slop!!@duckaislop.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y

I've been thinking about the difference between how good we think we are at magic vs how good we actually are. So I want to do an experiment. Quote this with how good you think you are at magic on a scale of 1-10, and everyone else reply with how good you think they are. I think I'm a solid 7/10

soup king back at it again

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

Amy Sundberg@amysundberg.bsky.social · 3w ago

BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.
