Something really cool at PRGE was the Art of Nintendo Power exhibit, which had some of the clay figures used in the cover photos. Look at this insanely high quality Dr. Wily!

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect."

This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I discuss Maniac Mansion, the LucasArts classic that gave us the SCUMM engine, coined the term "cutscene," and produced an unbelievably bizarre 1990s sitcom.

it's funny how their 'big tent' only extends right, never left, and how they always blame its failure on dirty hippies refusing to come inside, not their own embrace of TERFs, fascists and other exclusionary demographics
Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

I'm sorry, but under no circumstances does someone need to "embrace" their abusers for anything.

It's not because I'm "left" that I refuse to accept non-nazi conservatives, it's because at the end of the day they still vote to have people like me hurt.

This 100%! You barely have time outside of work for anything.

"Why don't Americans protest this stuff?" because when we actually manage to find the time off work (and won't be fired/evicted), aren't exhausted, aren't sick and avoiding hospital debt, and okay to brave a crowd that may have guns, PLUS the militarized police....... sometimes they don't report it🙃
The @startribune.bsky.social, located steps from yesterday's astonishingly large public protest in downtown Minneapolis, and ostensibly now covering the entire state where there were hundreds of events, forgot to put them on the front page.
