Mastodon is also for profit now.

At this point idk what social media platform to use since anything that grows large enough becomes a for profit & will always go down this route sooner or later. Thinking I'll just make a burner account to follow a handful of artists & not do anything else with it.

Out of touch just like the rest.

Our culture has a contingency which is obsessed with finding the magic phrase which will turn off bigotry but look, there just isn't one.

Which is why we need both systems to prevent that bigotry from shaping policy and a culture which shuns and shames those who are bigoted.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Just a reminder that every high-profile shooting by an ICE/CBP agent this past year was done by a long-time veteran who went through more extensive training, with many refresher courses over the years, and at least a couple were instructors themselves.

I don't think Rick had much say. He's just a general manager. These are the suits above him.

What brand? I looked briefly a few months ago but didn't commit. I typically find a CCG Combo lvl 3 pretty easily but I rarely use them & if I do it's in more rural parts of Illinois. First time experiencing all the chargers in use was at Frosty's & I kinda wished I had an adapter for the Target.

NACS adapter or something else?

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I'm so pissed hearing about 2xko layoffs jfc

Was a very good show!

Our single with @subpop.bsky.social is out today. Side A is an anti-ICE song. To mark the occasion, we donated $3K to Dream Action OK, a community-based organization that aims to empower our local immigrant community through advocacy and education to ensure justice for all immigrants: www.daok.org

Issue is that you need fundamentals & this game doesn't do a good job at teaching it. You were misting every 2 seconds instead of staying grounded & blocking. You gotta be comfortable with doing less. You want to keep using a get out of jail free card against a character that can just say "nope"

I'm traveling as much as I can for 2xko (minus evo & ewc)

gf & I have been fostering. A lot of kittens that require bottle feeding too! Small jar of receipts to keep track of all the purchases & some paw prints too. More paw prints somewhere just can't find them right now. Over 100 fostered last year (need to fact check gf on that)

Challenger every season begins?

Do you have additional details? Araiguma runs most of their cabinets on PC setups with Steam. I'm wondering if/when it could start affecting them too.

impeach what bro didn't we already try this years ago & nothing happened

I just don't tune in & play 2xko for what it is :)

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to: 1) infringe our rights 2) terrorize our communities 3) disappear legal residents 4) smash into cars & private homes 5) tackle & detain lawmakers indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE recruitment ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Fascists don't have a simple "difference of opinion." They want to literally force everyone they don't like out of society, into jails, or worse. They've been screaming it for years and actually doing it! You don't preserve democracy by inviting them in and giving them the run of things.

At some point I removed the Discover feed as an option for me to even look at. I just have following & other curated feeds.

I am in heaven. No algorithm to control me.
