Reading Letterboxd reviews reminds me that some people should not be allowed to express opinions.

To those people new to BlueSky, there was an event on here called the "posters' strike" which everybody loved. Make sure you bring it up with any big account you interact with. It will be sure to win you friends.

The hare was on his fourth bowl of spring salad with mountain cheese and hazelnut and almond bread. Between salads he had demolished a number of blackcurrant tarts, a carrot 'n' turnip pasty with gravy, and a huge portion of woodland trifle topped with meadowcream.

Reminds me of the Gamestop banking guy.
4Chan post: Does anyone else use Gamestop as a bank?
I got really pissed off with US Bank because I kept overdrafting my account even though I opted out, and the same thing happened with my credit union when I got a debit card.
Now whenever I get paid I go preorder a whole shitload of games. Whenever I need money, I go to the nearest gamestop and ask for my money back on a game I don't want and make a withdrawal. The lines are shorter at gamestop than at the bank and I can trade in old games and have money go straight to my savings account. Gamestops are just as prevalent as banks in my town and I work at a mall so it's even more convenient than running an errand to the bank or using an ATM and getting charged.
The gamestop people are starting to catch on that I'm just moving money around and only buying one
preordered game a year, if that, but there isn't shit they can do about it. The best part is, since I always preorder every game coming out I'm still guaranteed to get all the exclusive content whether or not I'm sure I want a certain game. It's like they're rewarding me for banking with them.

In all honesty, guy who uses Pornhub just to watch Spongebob episodes is my new favorite type of guy.

Honestly this should be a wake-up call to anyone who is not a Nazi and vocal about it on social media. Subscribe to 1Password. Enable 2FA everywhere. Use a VPN. They may not be coming for you now, but they will be.

important note from libcrusher:
Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since. If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

So, uhhh, are doxxers on Twitter coordinatng with state-sponsored hackers? Getting your bank info etc. feels like more than just a simple dox.

So a Republican before the Southern Strategy? Who’s wishcasting now?
untimelygamer.bsky.social
Republicans, whatever their behavior over the decades, always wanted this. Trump is not an aberration; he is the endpoint of their entire ideology.
untimelygamer.bsky.social
This is honestly my take. Sure, "the Republicans have always been like this" is a simplification; nobody denies that this moment is worse than others and that the guardrails are off. But also thinking synchronically about the Republicans as being always this bad reveals much more than the opposite.
untimelygamer.bsky.social
Yes, it may be a simplification, but I will always say "they were always like this" because it lays out the sources and causes of our current moment very clearly.

untimelygamer.bsky.social
The problem is, the opposite simplification "the Republicans weren't always like this" leads to people imagining that Trump came out of nowhere and that there is room for them to wake up. Which leads to even more ridiculous priors.

For those wondering why everybody is leaving Twitter now, it is because American people did not elect Mitt Romney in 2012.

I am pretty religious in my belief that Dems should not go on Fox News, but if you are going to do it, this is how it's done.
brianstelter.bsky.social
Zohran Mamdani uses his appearance on Fox News to "speak directly to the president," since "he might be watching right now."

Mamdani looks straight into the Fox camera as he says this >>>

There are definitely irrational scolds on here—and every person disagrees about who they are or what they stand for—but a lot of people just call others "scolds" because they don't want to change their behavior or think about their consumption habits.

i'm not going to chide or scold anyone for only now leaving twitter. your private, unspoken acknowledgment that i'm your intellectual and moral superior is all i need

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

The "ethical body" is the people you are referring to "as being super judgmental" about your Substack, which is what you were complaining about.
untimelygamer.bsky.social
And also about "commitment to our shared Democratic project"--the decades of blatant voter suppression, and literally the Republican Supreme Court deciding the president in 2000, would like a word.
