In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.
If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.
Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

i strongly, aggressively urge @kim.senate.gov and @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com to not help the gop ban trans healthcare to stop the government shutdown. trans lives should not be a bargaining chip and it will be a huge stain on your legacy and future endeavors were you to allow them to be.
