On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews:

Trump Erased Trans People From Stonewall’s Website. They Showed Up In Person.
“We know what Stonewall was. And we're here to protect that history."

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

I just want to thank multitudes of federal workers who have reached out to me with what’s going on in your respective agencies. It might not seem like much, but the simple act of reaching out is an act of resistance. So thank you 🙏

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

1. I'm NOT the sort of SF/F nerd who thinks everyone needs to read a "canon" of older works in genre like they're homework before they get to call themselves a fan, nevertheless the book I'm always mildly surprised when people say they haven't read it is "Snow Crash," which to me is era-defining...

IMO one of the biggest hurdles for games as an artistic medium is their over-reliance on combat as a core mechanic.

Saying this as a guy who enjoys a good combat system, but it's emotionally numbing and severely limits a game's narrative scope.

Sitting in the living room on my computer listening to classical music, I just said out loud “Damn, this Vivaldi slaps. Let’s run that back.”

And now I’m just so sad that my son wasn’t in the room to be horrified by that.

No joke: it should ALWAYS be like this. No party should have the authority to stop journalists from recording whatever they want on the House floor.
Guys, C-SPAN is momentarily in a state of lawless anarchy.
