sad to announce i've been kicked out of my seafaring writing group for suggesting we stop using the word "tempestuous", i'd tell you what the vibes were like but i'm a strong believer in not being a hypocrite

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

so you're aware part of the reason ICE keep getting away with it is y'all going "but this person was a US citizen" - this is not acceptable regardless of your status in this country and creating categories of appropriate harm is participating in fascism

My pal @geeboss.bsky.social is raising money for charity by skateboarding across Scotland this summer. He's a pillar of my Scottish streaming community and an incredibly good egg. Cancer can go fuck itself. Support my boy: www.justgiving.com/page/coast-2...
I haven't been shouting about this on social media much due to the fact I need to make some stuff to promote it but I am raising money for Beatson Cancer charity. This summer I will be attempting to skateboard from the west coast of Scotland to the east coast of Scotland over a 3 day period.

The cause is very close to me, they helped both of my parents through cancer. My mum very sadly passed away late last year. Both my parents were keen fundraisers for the charity, my mum even participated in a walking event mere weeks from finding out her cancer had spread terminally.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.
