I keep getting these right wing PAC ads about the tax cuts from the summer, trying to paint them in a good light. No mention about how much it fucked the budget.

Lefty PACs need to run the same kind of ads that call out what has been lost and how it'll affect "normal" aka middle class white folks.

I love my Geosynchronous World Spinner.

I wonder what @8bitmermaid.bsky.social has as her fave.

I'd love to see a fel-flame Warden Owl.
It'd be interesting to RP a demon "Hunter".

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

They're probably trying to balance polygons and item id data. So combined items like stairs are going to be a big win. That's less coordinates and database entries.

Professor Togglebutton @togglebutton.bsky.social · 13h

I think the solution to that will be adding stuff that resembles the weird combined items we'll be making. Cap will hit when we just don't have a native solution and have to kitbash.

Hopefully they can see data and social media for hints. Like I don't need to hand place every book in a library.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Is it weird that whenever I see an addon attached to your name, I automatically install it? Cause that's what I do. You've always got the most useful little things I didn't know I needed.
