If you have Twitch Prime, they're giving away XCOM 2 for free this week. It's a code for GOG.

If you already have XCOM 2, grab the code and give it to someone else who doesn't. It's a super great game and people need happy-making things now.

SHARE THE THINGS.

Naoise's brother is asking Irish people to please contact the government #Speirgorm

My sister @NaoiseDolan, alongside other members of the Thousand Madleens flotilla, has been abducted by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to break the illegal siege and deliver aid to Gaza.
Please join me in urging the Irish government to demand their safe return.

Saw a commercial for Tron Ares that had "see it on the biggest screen possible" and other such film-critic-isms, presented as if they were things critics had said in reviews (you know that style of movie commercial)...but not a single one of them was attributed to anybody.

The Gazans are displaced and without work, aid or medical services. They rely on donations to survive day by day. A ceasefire won't change their plight.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to make a home. And to others. ❤️

If I get extrajudicially got because I did research and writing about fascism being bad, you all need to scream from the rooftops that who they got was a mom of young kids who volunteers at a preschool.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

If anything, their job is harder. Other research teams just figure out what happened. Comedy research teams have to work out what's *funny* about what happened.
