Traitors used to meet in secret. Now they get their pictures taken. Check out Pete Hoekstra and Danielle Smith.
We know all we need to know about Measles Queen Danielle. Pete needs to come clean on the details on the $500 million slush fund to destroy our nation.
This is foreign interference.

Reminded today of Forgotten Waters, the app-required board game that claims on the box the app is downloadable for offline play... but this is actually a lie and you can't download the app.
Still salty about that bit of fraud.

Good GOD.
ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

No surprise here. Everyone knows what side the treason Queen is on.
When will Canada start taking action to investigate these quislings who are working to destroy our nation?

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

I really can't with the "we're only using generative AI art, music, promo art, etc. for placeholders right now, but we swear we'll go back and replace it when the game ships".
I think of SO many games that used actual plain or garish placeholder elements as if to say, "Coming soon!" and were fine.

There are approximately 3 million undocumented persons in Texas and Florida, and there are about 100,000 in Minnesota. Ask yourself why ICE has been deployed to MN, but not even close to the same way in FL and TX. This isn't about immigration, it is all about politics and retribution.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

For the RPG fans out there, I’m working on a rules-light space adventure ttrpg game based off games like Cairn, Into the Odd, and Mausritter.
I love the simplicity of those games, and I wanted to bring my world of SpaceCat to a TTRPG.

Yeah the thing that immediately pissed me off about this is how IT basics are taught in libraries and are essential to modern living and have huge - like years long - queues but where’s the funding for that?

I used to deliver digital security training in Scottish libraries but that was only possible through support from individual institutions or bodies like CILIPS and SLIC and was funded by my TINY organisation.

this is why you can’t ignore fascism in one country and just write off all the people there

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

periodic reminder to delete the AI folder after MSFT Office's update
if it doesn't let you delete it bc it's "open" somewhere, go to your task manager, close every instance of Office, and try again
(even if you think you've deleted it, take 5 seconds to check and make sure it didn't reinstall)
