If you work for ICE, or are thinking about joining, remember that they will leave you bleeding in the cold to face a crowd of haters alone, and your only solace will be to put on your best gears of war voice and pretend you’re tough.
Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

![VOLITION [Easy: Failure] – You wake up in your Hilton suite to a cacophony of whistles and horns. Half drunk and half hungover, you hastily throw on your tactical gear. It feels heavier than you remember. You stumble outside. The cold hits you like a brick. What are you doing here in this dismal city? Home is warm. Home is safe. Home is a thousand miles away. Tucking your shotgun between your legs, you fumble with a tear gas canister like a child learning how to tie their shoes. The gun goes off and you shoot yourself in the balls.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqh433fdh2bqhvt455e3tg67/bafkreiahrbfuw4v4so56ikp2pxf5n253bs5pd5gq37l7nqsitkwynw56hy@jpeg)

Tricky: Not discussing my day.

Greg: you shut the fuck up.

Repeating: NOW is a good time to shovel if you've switched from snow to sleet. 1-3" of sleet (which is many times heavier than snow) on top of this snow will make it MUCH harder to clear later.

Dystopia is an intensely conservative, hypnotic tool. Every
vision that depicts a dissolute, perverted, joyless world conditions us to expect this fate.
Heated Rivalry offers an alternate vision of whats possible—a world of pleasure, mutuality, humannes, intimacy, creativity, and joy.

Heated Rivalry shows us that the most transportive, visionary, speculative future isn’t one that looks different from our reality. It’s one that feels different. It’s a difference that we as the audience can feel as if we’ve already lived in that world too.
Heated Rivalry and the Art of Anti-Dystopia
Joy in the present makes joy in the future seem plausible.

Yeah but like 20% of respondents to any poll will pick the dumbass answer because they think it's funny
23% of Americans want their State to separate from the USA. Alberta is polling at 19% wanting to separate. It's less separatist than: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington Montana, Idaho, California, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, New York.......

MassDOT reminds drivers that 4WD only helps you go, it doesn't help you stop, so slow down if you must drive, and give plows space. Also, clear your cars off before hurtling into the white abyss.

Word of advice for folks who aren’t accustomed to winter weather: help your neighbor.
⚠️~132 million: Number of people under alerts for snow, sleet, & freezing rain.
A large, long-duration winter storm is expected to bring widespread heavy snow, sleet, & freezing rain from the Southern Rockies & Plains beginning Friday (Jan. 23), spreading eastward toward New England this weekend.

Setting expectations for Maine's response to ICE - I brought a box of whistles to hang out with normie friends last night, nobody knew what they were for.
Mainers aren't midwest nice, but we don't like a scene either. It'll take some time and the right storytelling for resistance to go mainstream.

The most fun I've ever had teaching was explaining computer science concepts to kids by making an absolute mess of myself while making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The kids were engaged and the experiment was literally digestible... win-win. 😂
Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is educate normal people on complex subjects in ways that are engaging and digestible.

I am, in principle, not opposed to putting former presidents in jail
Trump’s calls to jail political enemies are obviously concerning but I don’t think he realizes how impotent they make him seem.
If you keep posting this shit and nobody in Biden’s orbit gets arrested, you just look weak.

I get the sentiment but if your mailman takes a header that's on you.
Keep it clean Maine.
Help keep the space between you and ICE clean. Add a bottle of pink dish soap, top off with water, shake it, and pump it up. Spray on pavement. Hose off. April, maybe. Be careful to not walk there. Slick AF.

sorry you really prefer ActionScript, flash is dead now
this was always the game
I feel like I just gesture constantly at… history… repeating “this was always the game”
you don’t get to join the game and get paid by the game and then expect the game to not be the game
this seems obvious??

I want Democratic candidates who will run on a basic moderate platform of “leading Trump, Miller, Vance, and the other demon-ghouls in chains through the streets of every American city, to be Judged by The People”
Profiles and perp walks every single day for all four years of the next administration, a sedition wall of shame. Everyone in this administration, many in congress, anyone who wore boots or suits for DOGE+ICE or participated in Jan 6th. It would only be 1460 people. Tell Their Stories (derogatory)
