Software developer at Microsoft doing macOS and iOS stuff, formerly Xbox and Apple. Assume I’m skeptical of ${tech fad of the week}. It’s too cold wherever I am.

I guess since we’re all doing intros:
I’m Mike! I’m an engineer in Seattle focused on Apple platforms, but I’ve dabbled on other clients.
I play trumpet, mostly big band/swing, but occasionally concert band/symphonic stuff.
I like old video games and RPGs.
And my cats are cool and also jerks.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I’ve seen this dumb comic a hundred times, but this guy helped me better understand the anger that drives its continuous resharing across conservative corners of the web. Worth a watch, I think.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Gabby Giffords was my representative for years. She was shot in the parking lot of the grocery store I shopped at every week.
Political violence is real, and the calls for it are only getting more flagrant.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

These kinds of casual heresies are only going to become more frequent. Christianity for Christian nationalists isn’t about theology, orthodoxy, or relationship to the divine. It’s strictly a demarcation line for in- vs out-group, and — like whiteness — is malleable to suit the preservation of power
