American. Software engineer. He/Him. I play Overwatch/Marvel (primarily OW), Destiny 2, single-player adventure games like Assassin's Creed and Horizon, and I DM a couple of groups in Dungeons and Dragons. I also talk a bit of politics and religion.

Everyone who is like “hahah the police will always stand with ICE,” kindly shut up. Your city didn’t go through what our city is going through. Even our observers - not exactly pro-cop people - have noticed distinct hostility between ICE and MPD.
This is fantasy. Local cops routinely fail to represent the interest of their community during ICE invasions across the country, regardless of comparative numbers.
It is culture that keeps cops on the sidelines + on the attack when it comes to protestors.
On the whole, the police back ICE.

To the people out of state who keep saying “why won’t the local cops stop ICE” you need to understand that ICE is overwhelmingly the largest force on the ground in Minneapolis. They outnumber Minneapolis cops four to one. They’re more likely to stop the cops than the other way around

For those of you who are out here screaming, "Why isn't Governor Walz doing something?!": The regime considers "disrespecting an agent" a capital offense. No matter how peaceful the Gov's National Guard deployment might be, the regime will take that as an affront and an escalation. Period.

Important context for the upcoming weekend: Minnesota is _cold_. The temperatures are going to be single digits or below 0 °F (lower than -15 C). So when you see pictures of us doing our damnedest to stand up for our rights, realize that we will literally freeze rather than submit.

Gamer friends, I'm not okay. A woman was murdered in my city today. By the feds, in broad daylight, on video - you've probably seen it already, if you're on here. I didn't know her, but it's still hitting me hard, and... yeah. Just know, us Americans are trying our best, even if it's not public.

So, it's a bit of a banner week in the fish household, with #Destiny2 releasing Renegades, and #Overwatch2 releasing Season 20 with Vendetta. I want to start right off the top: I am going to play more Destiny than I did in Edge of Fate. This expansion _slaps_, thematically.

ALLLLRIGHTY THEN! Happy #Renegades day to the #Destiny2 community! I'm looking forward to diving into it later tonight. I don't talk much about Destiny because, well, to be honest, I think we all know where the game is at right now. But it really is the best gun-shooting FPS out there.

I'm eagerly waiting for all the Marvel Rivals stans to smugly lecture me how the new #Overwatch2 DPS hero, Vendetta, is a direct ripoff of Magik.

For this #Caturday, we feature Moonshine. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday. She was never angry, and purred all the way to the very end. We miss her a lot. #CatsOfBluesky

Kahless tells us time is the one enemy no warrior can defeat. In the end, it is how you spent your that time matters most. Spend it being honorable, strong, and kind. Do this and time will not be your enemy, but your gift to those who will be glad to have known you.

As a software developer, I get asked from time to time if I do any home automation. "No," I reply instinctively, "smart devices are too easy to do wrong, and too expensive when done right." The questioner then usually proceeds into a diatribe of assorted "benefits" smart homes provide.

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑
