Watching the Simpsons episode where Homer becomes a boxer at 37 and it really makes me feel older at 45. Damn. On the other hand, I can throw slightly more punches than Homer before I'm that exhausted. I guess that's something.
It seems to be diminishingly social in any meaningful sense. I'd say "algorithmic media" is more accurate than "social media" at this point, and probably has been for a while.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)
It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

A LOUD reminder that firing people because of their racial and/or gender identity is discrimination and ILLEGAL.
They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
Not sure I'm going to share my #Inkvember sketches - you'll have to trust me that I have my 3 done so far.

They are...pretty bad.

I want to include some bottom up perspective on women's political power in #earlymodern Europe. I have some sources, but am looking for some visual representations of women's action, involvement in political uprisings, etc. Can you help me?

In addition to holiday travelers, this would also include all air shipping just before Christmas.

Which would pretty much kill Amazon dead.

Please proceed.
Other people have 50 unfinished creative projects and life plans A through H right? Not just me? This is normal.

On this day in 2021 we released The Rich Bastard's Guide to Magick in POD and PDF via our partners at @drivethrurpg.com drivethrurpg.com/product/3595... this book details the amazing resources a mage can draw upon when they have immense wealth at their command. #WorldofDarkness #Mage
Printed out the recent stuff from my notes app and it's 11 pages front and back single-spaced. Now I'm spending hours trying to navigate my own thoughts.

Starving tens of millions of Americans to leverage stealing healthcare from tens of millions of Americans is not America first btw

ACA = “Obamacare”. Same thing. Its proof that many white folks would rather shoot off their own foot if they knew something helped a black or latino person get by too. Its no different from how they used to fill public pools with cement during integration resulting in everyone being hot & miserable.
America is so racist that some Americans believed SNAP benefits were for white people and food stamps were for black people and they did not know they were the same thing and are now horrified to learn they are losing their food subsidies.

5pm on November 1: let’s go for a walk, it’s still light out!

5pm on November 2: an early darkness blankets the land. Fallow fields lay bone-bleached by moonlight. The last memories of summer fade into oblivion. The last echoes of hope lapse into baleful silence.

For folks with more experience and/or connections, I'll repeat something Jason Morningstar suggested at a panel my first Metatopia: When a small group gathers to talk game design at the bar or in the lobby or anywhere else, leave an empty chair.
Turns out an Autism assessment through my insurance would cost over $1000 out of pocket.

Sorry friends, you'll have to just keep wondering why exactly I'm so weird and annoying.
