@samreich.bsky.social, I loved the dig at all the other streaming services, but jokes on you: I cancelled my Netflix subscription!

Also, really love that you’re taking care of your people. Really nice to know my money is being spent well.

I don’t care what everyone says. dropout.tv is great.

So I just cancelled my Spotify subscription over their continued support of folks who support autocracy in the US, and if this isn’t the creepiest and most manipulative response to a cancellation I’ve ever seen. If a man said this to a woman who was breaking up with him, we’d freak the fuck out.

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

You know, since the election, I’ve spent a lot of time questioning whether the US should even stay together. Like, if we truly disagree on so much, why not let individual states leave? Let the former red states learn to pay for their own stuff, and the former blue states have universal healthcare.

The terrifying thing is how many people either don’t care about or support the terrible things that Trump and his cronies have done in one week.

That old poem is definitely coming to pass.

I know this is a well-trod path, but I’m going to be running a storybook-themed campaign for some friends. The general idea is that they pick some fairytale character and give me some general ideas for the character arch so I can create an arch for each tied to the original stories. #dnd #ttrpg

X-Men 2 wasn’t all that great, but one scene sticks out to me right now. When Nightcrawler meets Mystique, he is immediately entranced by her and her ability to hide, something he’d wanted. He asks her why she doesn’t hide all the time, to which she replies ‘Because we shouldn’t have to.’

Anti-Defamation League, regarding pro-Palestine, anti-genocide speech: y’all are Nazis for not supporting Israel without question

Anti-Defamation League: regarding Elon Musk making a very clear Nazi salute…twice:

The world is literally on fire.
Whole neighborhoods were wiped off the map by hurricanes.
Children are massacred in schools.
Most people can’t afford groceries or housing.
Healthcare is unaffordable.

But yes, let’s allow bigots to argue that schools can’t teach about LGBT+ topics.

Any DMs looking for players? I’m trapped in a DM state in my groups and I miss playing.

Given the coincidence of MLK Day and the inauguration, there is a very real chance that Donald Trump is going to talk about the I Have a Dream speech during his address without any sense of irony.

I’m so terrified of the next few years that I can’t think of a joke to tell about how scared I am.

It’s impressive just how far a country can fall behind its peers when people obsessed with money run everything. But hey, we’ve got an abstract ‘freedom’ at least, right?
