I am tired.

Stop trying to play "gotcha" with conservatives. They don't care about hypocrisy.

They only care about power.

Can we stop monolithing Latines? Might as well say white gringos have an entrepreneur spirit that makes them natural republicans. Like this is icky levels of cultural essentialism and denial of agency.

Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Thought it might be fun to share my little ideas doc I write on when I get ideas and all I have on me is my phone.

Once the idea is in the right doc I erase it from this one

RANDOM IDEAS
Duet game where two immortal PCs go through multiple historical eras (inspired by wild seed)

PUEBLO UNIDO
Pueblo unido should split the city map and build out each players map as a form of player progression

When doing something cool add a die to the threat pool then roll 2dX. If less than threat pool size then deploy the threat pool and up the danger level. Each die that lands on the failure level is a snag regardless of roll total.

N:UIO
"Advantage" in n:uio expressed as +/- 1 tokens or maybe hit multiplier tokens for big climactic moments

TO READ
Read pirate Borg for the ship combat
Read that game Manchae recommended
Maybe traveller, mothership
13th age?

I remember writing an authentication server in college and I made the entry message "congrats on logging in". Not saying it's necessarily this but sometimes a congrats message is just a random person building a site and being happy you were successfully taken through thr procedure

Libraries are literally the greatest thing the USA has. The usa has a lot of amazing things but libraries are far and away #1, we should be investing more and more into the system

Matthew Noe @noethematt.bsky.social · 13h

Reminder than in the Worcester budget, the Library is not even 1% of the spend.

We've fallen to about .74%.

I'd love it if you emailed your Councilor *and* the City Manager to ask that the library budget be bumped up.

Staffing. Programs. Collections. New tech. We can do more with more.

I think the lack of spiderman commander decks is a logistics/production issue. They've already confirmed, I believe, this isn't an intentional change to their general structure

Every few weeks I think if this image and I have to go and find it again.
Sharing it so you all have to see it too

Picture of a news article. A picture of a woman who looks like the virgin Mary, but with a purple and yellow color scheme, and a nose and mustache identical to wario's. She is holding two bob ombs.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay
