Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns
the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this
I’m such a simp for coffee-flavored stuff.
The first episode of Critical Role Campaign 4 references Malört, and I hope it becomes canon in that universe.
OpenAI claims companies must opt-out of having their copyrighted characters & content appear in Sora
Legal experts say studios have grounds to sue:
“They’re setting up this false bargain where they can do this unless you opt out. And if you don’t, it’s your fault. That’s not the way the law works"
Today so far feds in Chicagoland have:
Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies
Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things
Violently handcuffed an Alderperson
It's 3pm
a flow-chart with 2 islands. "Do I need AI?" that flows into a final island saying "No"
New episode about the thing that happened, the reaction to it, and the reaction to the reaction to the thing that happened.

I always forget how intimate Lincoln Hall is until I’m here again. This Pool Kids show should be a lot of fun.
Teleportation. I hate traffic.
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Do you know what I like about the the idea of luck? It reminds us that we’re all just victims of chaos, so we just try to be kinder to everybody. We’re all going through a lot.
And for the love of god, play it with surround sound. A good set of headphones will take advantage of the incredible sound design (that also helps develop the themes). I’m using an ASTRO Gaming A50 headset, and I’m glad I am.
That being said, Senua’s Saga might not feel as “fun,” but I’m entertained either way.
It’s also done more subtly with thoughtful metaphors instead of feeling like they are beating the theme into my head in a very overt manner despite their own efforts.
I’m sorry I’ve slept on Senua’s Saga until now. This game’s themes are delivered with both the narrative and gameplay in such a masterful way. I think this is the way Naughty Dog wishes they could tell a story. I feel that they struggle to interwine those two elements in such an immersive way.
If you are a regular at conventions, I’m sure you’ve run into a booth named Salami Productions. This booth is run by a man named Marco. Marco regularly booths at Artist Alley, and has woven art displayed all over their booth alongside spicy stickers.
Dragon Con hasn’t even officially started yet, and I’m already feeling some FOMO for seeing everyone’s pictures already.
Logging off. Have a good weekend. And remember this:

I'm trying to riff on this but "Eric Adams's team attempted to bribe a local reporter by slipping them a wad of bills in a bag of chips" is so perfect by itself
something something "when the chips are down" I guess but lollllll

keep art human.
This was a really fascinating discussion on the history of revolutions and what leads to them on a systematic and individual level.
Got to see my old man play with his band on his birthday. It was pretty rad.
I’ve defeated the second Axon and pierced the barrier to the monolith.
I like my tasks laid out I front of me.
HOWEVER! …A little more direction and guidance would always be appreciated. At the very least, a mini map of the individual zones would be nice. Maybe better objective tracking would rock. I don’t want to write my missions down. Just give me an accessible logs that are intuitive to use.
