So, I shockingly rarely actually overtly promo—jesus christ that was a lot of adverbs—promote my YouTube channel on here, but with the broad dissatisfaction with Jay Graber and the Bluesky team, and folks moving on, I wanted to give people a clear answer of where to find me:

Heads up to the SBI people I know on here. Not sure what talk they're referring to, but expect them to use the "we cannot air the full recording" in order to maliciously clip/reframe what was said.

ATTENTION:

I’ve obtained access to a paywalled Sweet Baby Inc. talk recorded recently.

What’s inside is absolutely wild. It breaks down exactly which parts of multiple AAA games were handled by Sweet Baby Inc., how the rewrites happened, and why.

It also goes into more detail about the backlash they received, how they view it, and what they claim actually happened behind the scenes.

We will not air the full recording because of distribution rights and potential claims, but we are pulling every important moment for commentary, receipts, and context.

@WritingRaven2
and I will go through everything live on Sunday during our show.

Are you sure that a ceasefire agreement has been reached and that the war in Gaza has ended? Violent airstrikes are currently targeting Gaza City, with dozens killed and missing under the rubble?

In a democracy, the rule of law must be sacred - impartial, objective, and above politics. When the law is weaponized or manipulated to advance political agendas, it erodes public trust and weakens the very foundation of justice. Whether it comes from the right or the left, from prosecutors or politicians, the politicization of law enforcement is dangerous and corrosive.
We must restore faith in fairness, facts, and due process - because once justice becomes partisan, everyone loses.

Query: Make a 2-paragraph generic slop of a tweet about rule of the law.

Response: The rule of law is the bedrock of a stable and just society, requiring that laws are applied equally and fairly to all, without regard to power or politics. When the legal system is bent to serve a partisan agenda, it damages the public's trust and jeopardizes the fundamental principles of fairness that our nation is built on.

We must recommit ourselves to the core tenets of due process, objective truth, and impartiality. A justice system that is perceived as a political weapon serves no one, and we all lose when the scales of justice are tipped by partisan influence instead of facts and law.

This is honestly one of the most significant things I wanted out of Democratic leadership: to say out loud that there will be consequences for the actions these fascist fuckbags have taken. They don't get to crawl back into the sewer and wait for the next round.

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 10h

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 12h

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Two women (50s?) almost bump into each other in the biscuit* aisle.
One goes one way, the other accidentally copies.
She then goes the other, the other accidentally copies. They laugh.
The first says: Want to dance?"

Definitely the right, facing the same leftward direction feels a lot more natural than the 180-degree difference with the left

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

Jeff VanderMeer @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 13h

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

I admire the fact that Scott buys copies of practically every games he mentions as a showcase, but when he talked about Hogwarts Legacy, it was just a printout of the boxart.

It's a microwaved peace deal from the Biden administration, and he's actively bombing fishing boats and sending the military into American cities.

He doesn't. Hope that helps.
