people think being a videogame producer is about making schedules and checking in, but it's actually about getting on your hands and knees to beg the trans witches who code your games to use their mental illnesses for good and to get on a call with each other instead of 100+ slack msg threads

I still think about my classmate (nickname like "wee Joe") who read out his poem in 1st year art class for some reason and the teacher (who was rad tbf) couldn't get enough of it

One line engraved on my brain
"Tony Blair has oily hair"

When I was in high school we were tasked to write an essay on a current event of our choosing. I picked the Iraq War and I wrote how the justification for the war was clearly bullshit and they were doing it just for the oil and to distract the people from other issues.

I got a D.

Having also just witnessed it in ireland I will never get over regressive freaks spending weeks smearing progressive candidates and acting like they're gonna eat your children only to suddenly stop when they lose and go: gj bro, you ran a great campaign 🤝😌

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

@Nick_Pettigrew
Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act.

Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE

Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency.

They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

Molleindustria - Wishlist FUTURE? NO THANKS! @molleindustria.org · 1d

The bad news is that *even in the current climate* liberals, capitalists, and mainstream media will form a united front with the fascists to oppose a center-left candidate.
The good news is that they can be defeated.

All right! It took a while but I've inserted all of the #irishlanguage subtitles manually into this with the help of friends to help verify some of the #irish - no English translation (yet) because I don't wanna.

Found something special while at home in Kerry. No subtitles yet; shared with mom's permission. This is my story written in Mom's diary when she adopted me from Vietnam BUT translated 7 read in #Irish by my grandad, a native Irish speaker

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

mobilizing and organising are not the same. we need both.

Mamdani has so much momentum now and I don't believe he's going to let it just flounder.

optimism. good shit is brewing
