Me: I’m gonna make co-working stream music! A lot of it! Let’s sit down and work on it!
Me after five hours of battling for each measure, feeling intense feelings: oh I’m making a music journaling piece that is reclaiming my own shit. Well. 2 birds, I guess.

As I was reminded of the existence of Clock Tower: The Evil Within recently, I couldn’t help but remember this truly bizarre moment wherein the protagonist Sparta Kicks a (possessed? doll?) child

When students get to college they generally don’t know what college is and that’s an incredible pedagogical opportunity. My freshman comp class did Morrison, Pope, Dickinson, Shakespeare, and Johnny Cash all swirled together in a frenzy of discovery. Education is what we make it.

So one thing I’ve learned is that so many of those label bot nets are…laughably imprecise. One of the most anti-colonial folks I know on here? Labeled as MAGA. Fascinating. This is weird.

Put the physiognomy/phrenology back. Just put it back. It was never real, never legitimate, and is just a justification for horror. Throw it in the dumpster where it belongs.

I thought I would be free of Jason Stanley. Alas. I will never be free of hearing about Jason Stanley.
Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.
The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Just learned that I’m on a MAGA list here on BluSky? I’m…deeply deeply confused by this. So I guess in case it needs saying? The entire alt-right MAGA industrial political system is a bunch of fuckshit fascist nonsense that I’ve never supported. So. Hope that clears it up.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

I don't really love to throw industry shade because it's rarely black and white, but I am going to remind people that a game starring arguably the most iconic black superhero was cancelled *in advance* of this sale and all of the GDC talks from staff working on it were shot down at the EA level
EA says it will retain creative control following Saudi sale, but like, come on

The nostalgia of fascism strikes again. “Neo-classical”, sure dude.
Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

What if instead of playing Game 7, the Blue Jays and Mariners settled on a truce and agreed to send their best 26 guys to go beat the shit out of the Dodgers, for humanity’s sake?

Just beat FF 7: Rebirth. There are lots of critical thoughts. But I still have to hand it to Zack Fair, the man who is just too ditzy to die or become taken over by Jenova.

The Ground Itself by Everest Pipkin was introduced to me by a colleague in my PhD program and I never looked back.
For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.
What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?
