Want to see a microcosm of America? Immigrants won the World Series for the Dodgers and immigrants will be unwelcome and hunted at the victory parade.

A parody of the Andre the Giant "OBEY" posters featuring artwork of trans magical girl Nova from "Magica Riot" in black and white over a red block with white text that reads "FLAM" in an oblique bold font.

As I'm now actually blind in FFXIV, I did not expect a dungeon AND a trial in today's stream.

Cleared them tho, MiNE and Blind as usual.

A plushie Elezen (Sturm) on the left and a plushie Au Ra (Aysel) on the right; they’re both standing on a metal railing of a window of a ferry. There’s a blue ocean in the background.

My IngramSpark sales rep is now involved trying to expedite this whole thing so hopefully soon I’ll be able to proceed with the release of Magica Riot: Full Bloom

Any good vibes and positive thoughts you can spare are welcome 🥹

AI generated nonsense being used against trans people is already a thing.

“This is a lie but the fact that I believed it tells you something…” on an industrial scale?

Parker Molloy @parkermolloy.com · 1d

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

i love how this is full of comments like "this is confusing. the name is twice" whereas I, who am not a New Yorker & have never voted in New York, immediately went:

"oh, neat. New York has a slot for each party and lets them put forward the same guy if they want. That's so cool."

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 1d

I see some grumbling that this is an unfair ballot design for Cuomo, but I don't see the problem. You have the major and minor party nominations and then a random order for the independent (technically, new party) nominations. It's not a favorable spot for Cuomo but they've got be in some order.

it's clear this country needs a denazification the likes of which the world has never seen. we need to grab the abandoned threads of reconstruction and carry them through.

and im stuck in bed in pain watching the alleged champions of liberty cheer as we devolve into a monarchy
