I was the 88,443rd person on here in reality but in spirit I’m more of the 87,583rd.

I am just heartened to see the left reclaim the frog from the right.

Richard Lovejoy @theharpomarxist.bsky.social · 1d

Fun fact: the frog mage in Absolum is from Portland.

Current or former Sucker Punch employees!

I'm looking to talk to people about company culture, Ghost of Yotei harassment, and the events that took place last month. I can protect your identity.

It would be immensely helpful for a story I'm working on. My information is signal below.

[Extremely on a flight selecting a movie] - Surely “Materialists” is communist romcom. A romcommie, if you will.

The WSJ is like, have you ever considered [objectively brilliant person] is really smart?

Not for nothing, but his slight rewrite of the lyrics was also way better

Baseball is just a sports celebration of the three-act narrative structure.

Winging an entire presentation on poetry with @maggieserota.bsky.social and absolutely crushing it despite all the bullshitting was maybe one of the few highlights of being in high school.

it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Learn all about my hat shortage in FFT and why my units have vulnerable, squishy heads (spoilers: knights!)

Anyone claiming Dems need to be “more centrist” to win is either a conservative who wants Dems to lose, a bot, or a total fucking idiot who is choosing to ignore all available information and/or has no morals/beliefs.

Against some very stiff competition, this is the worst thing the second Trump Administration as done. I appreciate the AP's work to keep it from becoming yesterday's news.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Terrific meeting you and your wife at dinner last night. I hope you enjoy our city and see (and eat!) lots of terrific things while you are here.

How in God’s name do you choose a best soundtrack for this year. How do you pit Expedition 33, Silksong, and Hades 2 against each other for music. Each one is monumental, comparing them to each other is absurd when each could retroactively win so many years on their own

Mamdani was 9 years old on 9/11. This is just gutter racism from Debra Messing.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 7d

The funniest thing in the world is someone posting something egregiously fake followed by “let that sink in.”

Debra Messing: @emmabenson92 I have nothing against Socialism, don't know where you got that. I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11.
Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I I've chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world.

ME, A WRITER AT A FIRM THAT HAS EMBRACED AI: I fucking hate having to edit slop. I wish people would just write me a brief and let me compose from scratch. Everything touched by AI is profoundly bad.

DISCOURSE KNOWER: [Whispers in my ear.]

ME: I have just been informed that what I said was racist.

I am thankful that even liberals are mad at both of them in NYC. We want them primaried.

Honestly, their inability to quickly back and endorse our extremely likable and popular democratic primary winner and Cuomo immediately seeking help from Trump made some of the kayfabe impossible to ignore.

Don Draper (playing Silksong): Peggy, listen to me. It will shock you how often the floor is lava.

Richard Lovejoy @theharpomarxist.bsky.social · 8d

That was a scary three to five minutes, but the crisis is over.

Richard Lovejoy @theharpomarxist.bsky.social · 8d

A-ha. I found my prescription sunglasses. Time to turn on all my lights and crack this case.
