Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Been trying to get back into playing video games a little more lately. I used to play a ton, and then I guess I got burnt out on them or bored?, so I stopped playing.

Currently playing:
• Playdate — Echo: The Oracle's Scroll
• Switch — Dead Cells
• SteamDeck — Control, Remember Me

The head of Vancouver’s transit agency can sum its ridership recovery in one word: Frequency.

“Running the bus every 30 minutes isn’t going to cut it if you want to grow ridership.“

Many Vancouver 🚌 run every 5min or less, and the SkyTrain runs every 3-4min, via @davidzipper.bsky.social

The Secret to Vancouver’s Public Transit Ridership Recovery

The Canadian city’s transit agency, TransLink, bounced back from Covid even as other North American systems have struggled. Its leader explains why riders returned.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I get where you're coming from completely and I think I kind of for the most part agree? But I think where I'm at might be to an extreme of where you are on the response to discomfort. I understand though. And Y E S to part two.

It's genuinely absurd how far people will go to avoid being uncomfortable or inconvenienced.

It's just lazy baby politics. A toddler's understanding of living in and being a part of a society. Conservative policy logic is written in crayon.

Zack 🎲 Bammax @bammax.itch.io · 15h

Modern conservativism can be summarily described as being against personal discomfort. Boycotting, for example? That's a personal discomfort: they'd have to change a habit, and changing a habit is uncomfortable and inconvenient. Therefore, the habit doesn't change, and no boycott happens.

If you're wondering how that conservative boycott of Netflix over acknowledging trans people exist went, the answer is predictable and obvious: nowhere. Netflix stock is up, actually. Why? Because conservatives ultimately expect *other people* to follow through on boycotts so they don't have to.

The record-breaking numbers of this system are hard to overstate. But it’s also not JUST that there’s more money to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.

There’s also been a shift in the kinds of folks the feds are arresting—and where they’re being arrested. bit.ly/3WrAsyq

I also think this video is particularly important to combat that "Portland is a war zone" bullshit. Who rolls up to a warzone in inflatasuits blasting Yakety Sax? Fucking no one lol. Nothing beats propaganda's ass like reality.
