I'm still a real cool guy. If you're a zionist, go ahead and block me. It'll save me the trouble.

I'm doing costume (pixel art sheets that overwrite the main character) commissions for the Make A Good Mega Man Level Trilogy! Once completed, you just need to unzip the files into your game folder and equip the costume in-game!

Payment on delivery, contact me if you're interested!

This situation with Twitchcon security isn't just a Twitchcon issue. Security at most conventions suck. I've personally had security harass me and damage my cosplay props. I've had them ignore my complaints regarding sexual harassment. And ignore someone in danger.

This cannot be adequately explained by incompetence, this is malice.

Various VTubers report TwitchCon threw out fans’ gifts from Meet & Greets

Ironmouse: “It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.”

I deeply apologize to all the tubers and the fans who had meet and greets at the vtuber booth this year. It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.

I was informed that the gifts people brought for me at the Twitchcon M&G were thrown out by con/venue staff.
I spoke to each of you about how excited I was to open your gifts, and I know you took the time/ effort.
I'm still so grateful, but I'm so sorry I couldn't see them...

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

levernews.com/book

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

The time has come for SPOOKY SEASON. This week's all about the scares, the tension and the horror.

So we'll be playing The Lecarde Chronicles, followed by the original entry of Resident Evil, and B3313! Make sure to take notes of the dates, see you there!

Noah Smith seems to now believe that accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, something which is now the consensus of all major human rights organizations on the planet as well as the International Association of Genocide Scholars, is comparable to the 2020 election denialism of the GOP.

He also chose not to enact policies that would help the average person financially recover from the 2008 crash, ensuring roughly a decade of economic stagnation that fostered middle and lower class resentment and insecurity that was easily funneled into reactionary causes.

Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure:

- no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis
- no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture
- no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber
- refused to reform the filibuster
- drone wars expanded

obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes

I doubt he was ever a perfect ally or anything, but right up until he became a presidential hopeful he was pro gay marriage, then all of a sudden he wasn't. Then he flipped back once the polls told him to.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Oh it's so much worse than that. He was homophobic and transphobic because he thought the wind was blowing the other way. It was expedient career-minded bigotry, which is why he flipped back so easily.

I made social media accounts to see art and make friends and shitpost, and that's actually been super successful for me. I did not make social media accounts to analyze politics, explain the political establishment's rhetorical strategies, or explain fascism but I feel obligated to.
