Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, it’s easy to id; but I’m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound

I don't know man, but I think you're doing great. Shit is really tough right now on so many fronts. I'm not saying it'll get easier or better anytime soon. I have no idea. But being creative, writing, drawing, whatever, is no small thing. And taking joy in those things is never a waste of time.

If you read one thing today read this new essay from @timothysnyder.bsky.social:

"State Terror: A Brief Guide For Americans"

Previous generations of Americans fought Soviet and Nazi terror. Trump's team has decided to emulate it.

I cannot... CANNOT reconcile the fact that one of my favorite jokes from Holiday (1938) is now something we'd casually say (AGAIN) to folks still in support of the idiot.

Chappell so well-encapsulated the feeling of standing next to the bar at Martha's Vineyard in Springfield, MO, lights spinning & strobing across your face as the queens absolutely scorch the dance floor to a song everyone is singing at the top of their lungs.

I love her. She gets the job done.

Life's too short. Spend time with your friends. Play awesome video games and talk shit at each other (for fun).

Visit with me and my BFF from college as he plays through @bioware.bsky.social's Dragon Age: Origins for the first time.
We're back tonight, staring down some good character development and... tricky decisions.

This Dragon Age: Origins stream is brought to you by thinly veiled rage at the world and, of course, as usual, coffee and oatmeal.

I'm going to say it again:
Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

For folks in California who are trying to get hold of Senator Schiff and can't leave a number with his DC office because the voicemail is full, this number for his SF office (not listed on his website!) is working and I was able to leave a message.
Someone linked this for me and I tried and it seemed to work?

"Schiff has an SF office at 415-393-0707"

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Not sure which Zoom user will need this in the future - if you happen to close out of the application before a recording has fully converted, and your files refuse to open:
Right click >>
Get Info >>
Open with >>
Assign "Transcode", should have a little Zoom icon next to it.

Sorry, I just keep thinking about how a week ago I sat with a friend who worded our generation/friend group as each "mourning a career that never was."

Writers, Artists, Producers...

We're all reaching that 10 yr mark, telling ourselves that not counting Covid/the strike in that 10 ISN'T denial.

Good morning to all the Dungeon Masters who weave their player characters backstories into the campaign they run, giving their players emotional attachment to the story they tell together, and to them only.
