I was trying to cut back on my social media so I decided to try a whole new platform instead.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

I genuinely would have alot of empathy and compassion for regretful Trump voters if instead of “I thought he’d hurt other people, not me” they said “I thought he’d hurt other people, and now having experienced it firsthand I realize the pain that attitude causes”

I play through single player games with my sister in law and sometimes kiddo watching, as a sort of group bonding activity.
Next up, we're going to try Pacific Drive. Hopefully it's a winner!

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences.

In order to release the tension of wanting to infight, I highly recommend picking petty beef with exactly one rich person. That is your nemesis now. Every time you want to take it out on another leftie, just take out your frustration on them.

@zombiegrub.bsky.social Any chance of seeing more of the Banshee Tournament in the future? I always thought that was really cool and I've been getting back into watching SC2.

Okies. Call your reps. Tell them you are constituents concerned about the freezes enacted last night. Tell them its about checks and balances.
How can they keep government small or prioritize the needs of their state if they no longer hold the power of the purse?

Please play disco elysium. Like not to be dramatic but it's a really important piece of art and I'm sure some part of you will change after playing through it. I don't know what the truly moral means of consuming it is and I'm kind of at the point that I don't care just play it if you haven't.

I need to find some sort of constructive community activity to contribute to because scrolling the news is just eating my brain and so far my strategy is just to fill my time with other activities that are good for me.

Honestly this sounds pretty fun. I've tried watching original Gundam a couple of times unsuccessfully because of it's age and melodrama (not a criticism, just challenging for me), and watching it with friends while poking some good natured fun at it sounds like it'd be a hoot.
Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

“The man made the Nazi salute and to offer any plausible deniability means he and his followers can use that doubt and turn it against us, accusing us of overreacting or reading into things that aren’t there.”
Journalists Must Admit Musk Did the Nazi Salute.
In hedging their language and excusing their behavior, journalists are giving Elon Musk a benefit of the doubt he does not deserve.

While it isn't perfect (no tech/app is), Signal remains my go-to suggested app for encrypted communication.
If you've used any messaging app before, you can use Signal. It supports end to end encrypted messaging for direct messages, group messages, voice calls, video calls, etc

Currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Five books in and I only started at the beginning of the month. It's so good to be reading again. Really should start reading the book for my next bookclub meeting, though. #booksky
