I just released my 12-year labor of love project "Approaching Infinity" on Steam. It's the 90s space game you always wanted, inspired by sci-fi classics like Star Trek, B5, and Star Control.

Please re-post and share 😉

I know this was days ago now, sorry, but yes, that's another really hard-hitting line.

It's like I'm always trying to reach people with my tastes, while simultaneously knowing that I have fairly eclectic tastes. It's easier in some ways now but yeah...

Social relevance.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

PSA - (This is from BLM protests but may feature duing the upcoming No Kings protest)

Well howdy! I'm just a mysterious pile o'bricks. I have been seen at many of the recent BLM protests sitting around areas of no construction or carefully removed from things like streets or sidewalks and placed in neat, easy-to-grab piles! Do not reach for me! I am intentionally placed here to create violence! This is used to delegitimize the movement and allows for more force to be used. Instead, alert those around me that I am a trap, and document me with photo and video evidence using #BAITBRICKS
Do not share this post directly! Copy and paste the photo to your own page so no one is targeted!

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

WHO IS FIRING WHO??

The president cannot fire federal employees. He appoints a relatively small group of officials:

Cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and some other political appointees (about 4k total).

Vought can’t either. Only within the OMB, which has roughly 500.

We still have laws, yes??
