Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
So it appears that Professor Rex dropped this video the same day you dropped yours, would this have improved anything? youtu.be/Sri4SYdwLdw?...
With April Fools coming up here’s a reminder that making your community panic thinking they may lose you over a fake graduation post isn’t funny.
Those people support you and make you who you are don’t deserve to have their feelings messed with. 🩷
Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.
Also, another thing on endometriosis research: it’s incredibly fucking important to study endometriosis in all genders, because not only has it oddly appeared in a few cis men, but trans men do seem to have higher rates of it.
We also REALLY need to study how hormones affect it.
the first time i flew to the US in 2007 I took a bottle of aftershave my wife had bought my for xmas. a border guy at LAX took it out of my bag, looked at it and just straight pocketed it.
extrapolating that out into what ICE are gonna do is like a line going straight to hell
@raindrinker.bsky.social since the Icedrop discord link still doesn't work, and I can't figure out any *other* way to report bugs - at least on PC, it looks like the Shrimp buff isn't working properly. Tried it on several different runs and deck configurations.
I think it might be worth keeping, though reworking it is definitely worth it - maybe the smaller ones have lower rank as a tradeoff (i.e. if you split a rank 4 Dice, the two halves are each Rank 2).
@raindrinker.bsky.social started playing the 0.8.1 demo this evening for #ultrapool - having the split balls from Fortune Cookie'd Dice is a nice touch.
They're obviously smaller VISUALLY, but do they have different physics for being smaller?
Late game examples of how silly this gets (and yes, I lost on this round, but I don't mind, it got *really* silly) #Ultrapool
IYKYK tips: Battery+Bush x Compass. Calculator+Dice x Fortune Cookie. TV x TV Dinner. Add Time Machine for even more fun. Ball buff go brrrrrrrrr
Managed to beat Classic All-Nighter on #ultrapool by @raindrinker.bsky.social @icedropgames.bsky.social *on the Android version* before doing so on desktop.
I have to rectify this immediately. (also, game is extremely good, and the demo is free. GO PLAY IT!)
@icedropgames.bsky.social the discord link in your bio is expired when I try to join it - anywhere else I should submit feedback on Ultrapool?
You should be calling out Israel when they try to conflate the two, not reinforcing their fucked up narrative.
Like... man, you've got to stop conflating Jewish people with the state of Israel! Israel *absolutely is* responsible for this war. As is the U.S. There's no question about it. If you actually cared about antisemitism (he doesn't), you should be working hard to separate the people and the country.
Few people have done more to increase the amount of antisemitism in the U.S. than Jonathan Greenblatt.
Post by Bernie Sanders: One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control: TikTok CBS CNN НВО Discovery Channel BET Cartoon Network Comedy Central DC Studios Fandango Miramax MTV Nickelodeon Paramount PlutoTV Showtime TBS The CW TNT Warner Bros. And more This is oligarchy.
Let’s start by ripping the media out of right wing Klan adjacent hands and give them back to people more like Walter Cronkite and Walt Disney. Media ownership should require a loyalty test for the rule of law and human decency, not to Trump. The current crop would all fail. This is a frightful list.
Just straight up state-sanctioned terrorism.
There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”
Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time they've used Nintendo IP like this, and I think all we got the first time was a standard PR denouncement. No legal action.
1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.
Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.
No court hearing necessary.

@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
electricity water clean air knowledge
you name it
they should be treated like the common thieves they are
Dear members of the Senate: if you vote to confirm Mullin to run DHS, people should absolutely hold you personally responsible for every atrocity ICE and CBP carry out under his leadership.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
The bug in question - one of my combo balls at roughly round 24 suddenly took on the effect and texture of one of the snacks.
Can't imagine how this happened.
(also gonna ping @raindrinker.bsky.social)
Picked up #Ultrapool during Steam Next Fest this past weekend and holy hell does Icedrop have a quiet hit on their hands. Perfectly scratches that roguelike itch.
Did run into a weird bug late in a recent run, though, and I have no idea how to reach Icedrop to tell them?
Hard to see this as anything other than Stelter sucking up to his future bosses over at Paramount
It's been wild to watch as some ostensibly liberal people like Debra Messing have just had their brains fried by algorithms since October 7, 2023, and are now indistinguishable from the most hardcore MAGA supporters.
i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.
