Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

DOTA 2 doesn't have this problem: there is a variety of teams that get top finishes, and the rosters on most teams change pretty significantly within a few seasons. Between that and major patches, it keeps the pro scene very fresh.

Week two of our new puppy at home. He's adorable and a very good boy. But I sure do miss uninterrupted sleep.

Reminder - Being woke is being compassionate. Tree hugging hippies are right. MLK was a socialist. Communists beat the nazis. Centrism is cowardice. Fascism is bad, antifascism is good. Empathy is awesome. Hold the line.

This is really curious. Were they grinding coffee in bulk?

A COVERNMENT DOESN'T ANNOUNCE THAT THEY HAVE BECOME FASCIST, THEY ANNOUNCE ANTI-FASCISTS ARE ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

Please share the wwater.ca/New_Brunswic... wastewater site with friends outside of Bluesky. Link to it on your other socials. That link is directly to Sackville which is having a massive COVID surge. Read on for other observations. /1

Screenshot from the link. Image shows a graph of wastewater levels in one NB community, Sackville. The recorded levels from the most recent sample are the highest for Sackville since wastewater testing started being reported there.

Not to discourage you, but IT work seems to be in low demand. My brother is in the field and has been looking for good opportunities for years. I'm not sure if it's outsourcing or what.

What part did you visit?

Not just for entertainment. While we are turned against each other, distracted by the strawmen they have propped up, we aren't uniting against the real common enemy: them.

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

Pretty interesting ideas! (Who are the people who come up with these? How did they get so creative?)

I've been enjoying Dune: Awakening for the last week. Feels like Funcom learnt a bunch of lessons from Conan: Exiles and improved the formula. I'm really enjoying the story. Combat feels decent. Base and production are super tedious as a solo player, but it was like that in Exiles too.

I'm a bit surprised Europe fell for the American propaganda, but I guess most of the world was split along the East vs West lines.
