Two years ago, my good friend Maher asked me if I'd be interested in developing a Mothership hack we'd been playing into a full game. Next Friday, we'll release 100 pages of our game for FREE. And we're very excited for you guys to enjoy it.

I suppose it's not unlike my take on how to be a socialist in the classroom: Be loose and (try to) have insights, don't preach, just act as a positive example.

Through the Denver Democratic Socialists of America, I donated to the local Starbucks Workers Strike.
Having unions in a community benefits all workers. The Fight for $15 had an undeniable impact on workers' wages in this country. No boss will respect our rights unless we fight for them.

it does feel to me that the dismissive "just take the L" discourse from old forum warriors kind of elides the difference in scale between fly-fishing fora and social media centers like bluesky, and the ramifications there for silencing dissent
FYI bluesky just issued a 3 day suspension to Wendy Xu for probably nothing

this is hanging fruit but i do love the gag that half the arms in this painting of a transphobe are actively at work constructing her gender presentation with artificial coloring, crimping, etc
We partnered with @pablo.show to investigate Riley Gaines' rise to MAGA stardom. @msjpauly.bsky.social dug up docs that reveal the right-wing funders behind her ascent and spoke to puzzled teammates who wonder what happened to her.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

they're going to feed Grok a list of 'bad things' it can't say Musk is good at, and that list will get leaked, and it will be... revealing
honestly impressive feat from mr musk. grok said it so it must be true.
Elon Musk Could 'Drink Piss Better Than Any Human in History,' Grok Says
Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

one crazy thing about being a union rep is you get to see the wild bluffs that management will hang their hat on. "the contract doesn't itself say the contract needs to be followed" motherfucker, let's thank whatever pedant foresaw you, because look here they actually did spell that out in article C

I can hear my father quoting Professor Kirke in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe: "what do they teach them at these schools?"

I knew Jen like 15 years ago, she's smart and she's good.
Bullying people because they're not steeped in your nerd shit is such a strategic error. Oh, does a grown adult with a job and family not share your passion for fairy tales? Should we call Lord Dunsany? Should we tell Rapunzel?

love to live in a society run by and for people who can't pass a marshmallow test
Sometimes I glance at YouTube and there's a video about Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc., that's like "breaking news! a thing happened!"
And then instead of watching a 30 minute video I go and look for text-based sites that can tell me in three sentences what the thing that happened was.

Various group-philosophical pessimisms will have you believing that universalism is impossible, not worth striving for. That if you don't oppress, you will inevitably be a victim. I refuse. We are best protected by democracy, by the rule of law, by human and civil rights.

The promise of politics is to end the cycles of domination and oppression, of yesterday's victims and today's oppressors. I'm thankful for my Holocaust education and how it shaped my life.

Capitalists like the slop machines and their output because they have already suppressed their humanity in order to justify the horrible things they do. What's a bit of light crime against taste and art thrown in?

It’s important to get people educated and on board with communism because when capitalism falls (and most people can see it’s decaying fast) communism will be the only force to stop fascism.
