I just reminded myself of the band I Decline and I'm gonna pin this tweet until I remember to recover the songs I have from them

If israel was never created, I would have a cute younger sister clinging to me, and hugging me, and kissing my cheek, and running her hands through my hair - and all of the family visiting us for Christmas would make remarks about how close we've grown since they last saw us.

We would sneak around, and look nervously to make sure that there were no family members nearby, before stealing a kiss.

Those of us living with complex chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”.

Once people heard that Covid was “only a risk to the vulnerable” they couldn’t wait to drop precautions.

That’s eugenics.

The vulnerable matter too.

Also, it’s a risk to everyone

Matthew Cortland (they) @matthewcort.land · 11h

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

It looks like Dr. Phil might've got duped. The game isn't to try and get a conservative audience, it's to find a big money backer. I feel like everybody who's idea was "America is fully racist now" has fallen on their face.

If I was a forward-thinking diplomat right now I would be putting together the agreement that would make everybody okay with removing the Netanyahu government and returning Israel to the status of a UN protectorate.

If my life was fake, like if I was a video game character, I would have busted my ass and got a lot more shit done than I have. But actually doing that stinks, especially in this culture which makes any type of honest expression a weight upon you.

Broke Boy Eccentric @ NearZone @nearzone.bsky.social · 11h

LRT is why I stopped trying extra hard to get noticed. I know I talk about trying to get noticed but I also know that I could try a lot harder. The thing is that I don't live a fake life and that sounds awful, so I just don't do it. I do still try to like the life I live.

People who are already popular will get significantly more marketing dollars than someone trying to get noticed.

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

Like sorry you have to deal with it man. And if you'd rather be dead than live that kind of life all I ask is that you get there in a way that doesn't endanger other people.

Broke Boy Eccentric @ NearZone @nearzone.bsky.social · 12h

It actually doesn't make any sense to be like "we've masked long enough, we now get to stop masking". Did the fire stop? Did it stop being fire everywhere? No? Okay then you gotta put on the gear man. I don't know what to tell you. Put on the fucking fire gear it's fire outside.

The way I always thought about COVID etc. was as like being on a sci-fi planet, or if everywhere is on fire and that's just how the world is. On fire planet, imagine somebody being like "It's actually rude of you to tell me to put on fire retardant gear". Ridiculous. "You can just jump over fires"

If you claim people were militant about masking that's because you want to believe that. "You were hung out to dry by the government" absolutely. "More should have been done collectively to stop this" right there with you. "We actually did mask up everywhere" shut the fuck up

I don't know of any other industry that has so successfully built in the concept of success = liquidation. At this point I don't want any games to succeed.

Broke Boy Eccentric @ NearZone @nearzone.bsky.social · 13h

I know that there are a lot of other things to deal with, but I do believe that the game development community deserves at least some kind of truth & reconciliation commission for this period. (You're going to say "way to minimize apartheid" but T&RC was nowhere near far enough, this is baby shit)

I think the things I write are pretty applicable to the day today but I don't think I have a shot of anybody listening to anything I say until I'm ready to publish something which I'm very far from being ready to do.
