Me: β€œHuh, it’s snowing? Isn’t it almost spring?”

Me: *remembers he lives in Canada*

Tiredly me: β€œOoooh. Yeah. Right, carry on then.”

JC has pink and purple hair and is wearing sunglasses, a black sleeveless hoodie, and a silver necklace with a pizza charm on it. She is in front of a bunch of flowers that look like they are exploding out of her head. The sky is blue behind her.

This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! I’m JC, I’ve been a gamedev for 10+ years in AAA/indie, and I am currently lead producer and (NEWLY MINTED) COO at my studio, @twirlbound.com! I love making cool stuff with cool people, developing sustainable career paths, and of course yelling (lovingly) about Jira ✨

"Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store"

Seems more likely to me that that's the point. Gotta get those pesky sanctions on Russia lifted.

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.

Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.

The US is literally trying to starve Cuba into submission.

Updating the tally... Cuba, Iran w/ no RoE, LGTBQ folks, Gazan genocide, USAID, immigrants, concentration camps, blew up boats, Venezuela, Ecuador, Greenland & Canada, and I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

They're coming for EVERYONE.

And it's not even legal to try to slap sense into them.

Like, what's the tally? Iran w/ no RoE, LGTBQ folks, Gazan genocide, USAID, immigrants, concentration camps, blew up boats, kidnapped a head of state, Ecuador, Greenland & Canada, and I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

They're coming for EVERYONE.

Can't reason themselves out of a position they emotioned themselves into.

Their feelings don't care about facts any more than the facts care about their feelings.

And invading Cuba, ala the Bay of Pigs.

Also, the War on Drugs has gotten surprisingly literal, without getting any more effective.

He's the kid that wants to be part of some group so badly that he'll tolerate nearly any degree of abuse from them, just so he can stay adjacent.

He's a useful idiot for bigger useful idiots

"β€œIf the Prime Minister of Norway had given me the Nobel Peace Prize, our submarine wouldn’t have had to sink an Iranian ship…” β€” Donald Trump"

IMO, this isn't getting nearly enough news coverage. This is a pretty clear picture into the utterly insane narcissism that is Trump's rotting brainmeat

Notes on Nationalism | The Orwell Foundation "By β€˜nationalism’ I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled...

Please don't rely on soundbites. If you're going to try to correct people, please at least review the writing you're discussing.

He isn't describing his own views, he was stating something that a pacifist could not accept.

Slay the Spire II in Steam, ready to play

Slay the Spire II in Steam, ready to play

A reminder that humanity is not always a terrible mistake (sorry Mr. Adams).

Slay the Spire II is out in Early Access today πŸŽ‰

I don't expect it to live up to the first game, but I expect it'll be darn solid on it's own.

Yup. I wasn't familiar with it, but folks are saying she's paraphrasing Kipling, from an essay that Orwell wrote. It's certainly not in line with anything I've seen of Orwell's views, lol

Yes. They incompetently tried to move him, including lifting him up, without having any actual control first.

I watched several videos, from a few angles, and didn't notice anything where the inept officers were injured, nor did the two that stay with him give any indication of injury that I saw

Kristi Noem getting shit canned is a huge W for us. There’s no way Trump can spin his ICE raids now as anything over than a giant failure.

It’s important to celebrate these W’s. We can still force change even in the minority. Don’t give up the fight!

Noem's replacement, Markwayne Mullen, is one of the absolute dumbest wastes of meat you're likely to encounter.

He's also stupidly belligerent when there's no value to it.

It is painful to say, but ffs, I don't think this is actually an improvement.

The who bullied a staffer into an affair which led her to committing suicide by self-immolation hasn't been enough to get Republicans calling for that guy's resignation.

They care about power more than anything else, and they won't risk it
