I am in Milwaukee getting tipsy at Foundation. The world is as it should be.

Increasingly having to play a fight song just to amp myself up to go outside and deal with the fucking world.

IT'S NOT TO LATE TO HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND BE ENTERED IN A DRAWING FOR ONE OF ***FOUR*** BOOKS! I probably should have said a time zone for "5 pm today" but obviously I mean Minnesota's

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and I want to use that follower count for some good today. If you are a Black creative, QRP with your links. Note: this one is for Black folks to share their work. Not self appointed allies and performative list making of Black folks to follow & support UwU!

Whatever your capacity, offer resistance. You don’t have to be out in the streets (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise), but you can resist. Progressives cities need a lot of help right now — not just MN — and every bit helps.

It’s been a long weird few months in the Twin Cities, so I’ve been quiet. I’m doing ok, staying safe, protecting my communities. Thanks for all the new follows.

"A Tale of Two Topas" may be one of the best-written episodes of a serial ever written. It's so good.

Dr. Seuss would be disgusted by the new Wal*Mart commercial. I hate capitalism.

Between Vincent & me, we've backed 429 projects on Kickstarter, & funded 18 projects of our own. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... will be our 19th. This is the longest wait we've ever had for a greenlight. Kickstarter United is now in the longest tech strike ever. Solidarity Forever.

Two nerd loves married this week: writing a vassalage contract for PCs in my “Dune” campaign. It is a very good contract.

Very sad news. I knew Rob back in my days in Milwaukee. Super nerd. Very kind guy.

Gutted to hear about the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social today. He wrote games, wrote about games, and was a smart, passionate advocate for the TTRPG hobby. Gone too young.

Y'all want help fight fascists? Support public journalism (y'know, the kind the government keeps defunding).

Centrists when they hear a Socialist advocating for a thing that does not directly benefit them but does materially benefit the majority of people:

a man with curly hair and glasses is making a funny face and saying huh .

Alt: Steve Brule is making a funny face and looking at the camera and saying "huh?".

In small town Wisconsin, we had a teacher who it was said (later proved in court) was being directly profiled and stalked by he police. He was black (Tortugan) married to a white teacher. As high schoolers most thought it was “over-reacting.” He was a loud, mouthy leftist.

The Fence@thefence.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL. So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

Medical advice is not “free speech” if it actively harms people.

Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com · 10mo ago

The high court's conservative justices express concern the ban might infringe upon therapists' freedom of speech.

Sometimes I listen to “In the Air Tonight” just to get to the drum transition.

Everything the mainstream media considers a "radical left-wing belief" is a compromise position. The actual radical beliefs are things we can't discuss because they're too far outside the Overton Window for most people to understand.

"Among those arrested was David, a 31-year-old healthcare worker...David, who is gay, was wearing a rainbow Pride wristband as he says he was simply trying to pee when he was arrested."

A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

I've come up with a new online insult, and I'm waiting for the day someone figures out how devastating it is. Just respond to someone who's being obtuse or intentionally obstinate with "Ok, Fitzgerald."

Alternativeky, if there is a hilarious editor out there who loves what we do and thinks we’re worth championing, even in this anti-autism world, get in touch!

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Who here is still chilling here on planet Earth watching the Rapture happen? Y'all sending up your friends with fun gifts?

I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

Democracy Now!@democracynow.org · 11mo ago

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social was thrown to the ground by ICE agents during a Chicago protest. “That is what these officers are willing to do when there is press and cameras around," she says, adding that they are "committing human rights abuses" inside.

Grindr being overloaded in Phoenix while Kirk's "memorial" was going on is a true moment in history.

These people are so unserious AND are clearly being punished into this line of reaction. NO ONE (and please feel free to find me a case that says otherwise) was punished in this same way for absolutely going bananas excited when Kissinger died. No one. This is what literal censorship looks like.

I'd probably just hire an Appeals Judge. More of them and easier to get, I'd think.
