Pretty much just here to cheer on my favorite writers and creators in the McElroy, Dropout, and formerly Polygon spheres.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.
The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Just named my horse in #GhostofYōtei. Well done @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social ! I finished up Tsushima back in June and I feel like I haven’t skipped a beat in negotiating Yōtei.
I’m also really enjoying @erikaishii.bsky.social ‘s performance as Atsu!
Story is intriguing and gameplay is tight!

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.
But America was founded on criticism.
American democracy was built on dissent.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

Still can’t believe Vox Media sold Polygon. Really feels like Cracked being sold and gutted long ago. Lots of my favorite writers from that era are doing great things today and I sincerely hope to see my favorite former Polygon writers do great things in the future. My heart goes out to yall!
