Hi, I'm an Erie-based board game designer (also @lakeeffectlabs on IG) with a number of great tabletop projects in the works, with the occasional baseball or progressive rant for good measure.

This is possibly the largest and most national May Day I can remember, a good sign all things considered

The company set up and started the mine in Elk County.
After a little more than two years, the company has packed up and left, abandoning the wells and associated crypto infrastructure in violation of state law, according to state regulators.

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!

Capitalism - whether neoliberal or nationalist, grinds us into dust while destroying the planet. The profits are privatized and the costs are socialized.
We should seize the means of existence and run them communally, liberating human labor for collective needs, not the profit of a few.

Just watched Switch 2, seems to be a good and competitive console, the enhanced ports and 4K output alone sell it for me although not sure on how much it works as a traditional handheld (price+size)

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats.
This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:
-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot
That's a genuinely good start.
