Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

While showing Pete Davidson on the Knicks Jumbotron was certainly a choice, hat tip to the editorial decision to play Wu Tang’s C.R.E.A.M. during his promo shoot. Indeed.

@schumer.senate.gov Why do you insist on making everything worse? You don’t have the votes even if the the other side was acting in good faith, which they proven they are incapable of doing. All your capitulation will do is exacerbate the suffering of those who have shouldered too much pain already.

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Look, this was going to just be a quick post about my October plays, but how about a huge shout out to @bgstatsapp.bsky.social for building the functionality to copy alt text to clipboard. Huge hat tip to you!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I agree.
My hottest Pokemon take is that Gen V did it right and more games should have the courage to leave all the mons from older games until the post game. Have the chance to learn to love some new guys, become champion together. You can have your nostalgia when you're champion.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Aug/Sep plays courtesy of @bgstatsapp.bsky.social. Flamme Rouge and Forest Shuffle Dortmoor were both new and fun. Really loved Flamme Rouge and will get it to the table soon. Hopefully life settles down a little bit and I can get more to the table in the month of October!
