As we go into the next four years and beyond, everyone should remember the following sentence and keep it deep in their hearts:

Soldiers win battles; logistics win wars.

I’ve voted straight ticket Dem in every single election, certainly not limited to midterms or presidentials, since I turned 18. I’ll be doing the same this year, which no Cuomo voter can say.

So I rarely post art to BlueSky, but this latest artwork is just... it's so incredible I had to post it here. So yeah, here's an *incredible* piece by @timebombdogart.bsky.social!

Thank you so much for the Tom of Finland vibes~

Notice, here, how this despicable administration is leaning hard into "noticing us racially profiling is inciting violence against us and everyone we stop is a violent criminal." Just the absolute scum of the Earth.

Dooming is a free action
This is the NJ average btw. you wouldn't think it is this from the discourse on here.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.
It's really weird that this was essentially the plot of Black Ops 6.

I think about how Saddam Hussein lied so much about having weapons of mass destruction to his own military and Iran to make up for weakness of his regime that he ended up in a hole and became a meme because the United States said "message received, strike authorized" in a Call of Duty briefing video
I sometimes think about how Saddam Hussein made so many canny decisions to become dictator of Iraq and then more or less threw it away in a series of terrible calls between 1980 and 91.

Let me be very clear: Donald Trump deliberately chose to stop SNAP benefits from flowing to 42 million hungry Americans.

And this is after he and Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill.

They are simply abandoning hungry American families.

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

lady you are not even in the same stratosphere as Kamala Harris
Winsome Earle-Sears on Obama: "Last year, he told everybody to vote for the Black woman. Well, here I am. Here I am and now he's singing a different tune. Hypocrisy all the way."

UPDATE: Got many great pitches already, most from Latin America & Eastern Europe (which makes sense given my history & previous work lol)

I really want more stories from north of Africa, Middle-East & SEA. I'm reaching out to researchers & journos there, any suggestions & connections are welcome 🙏
So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

"the genie is out of the bottle"

They are so desperate to normalize this as fast as possible.
All quotes I read from companies "embracing AI" are basically

"please just admit it's here to stay, just admit it, accept it, admit that this is the new normal now. It's here, JUST ACCEPT IT!!!!!"
Coca-Cola's annual Christmas commercial is AI-generated again

The company used even fewer people to make it this year

“We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope … The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in"

🐾🐻‍❄️ It’s #PolarBearWeek! 🐻‍❄️🐾

Laerke the polar bear is celebrating with a special icy treat made from propeller clams, sweet potato, and Gatorade for extra hydration! 💙 This cool enrichment keeps Laerke curious and engages her natural foraging instincts.

Y'all. Every episode of the new season of Sesame Street has animated segments art-directed by Student Ambassador artist @axureneas.bsky.social

I can't believe my best friends Axur and Grover worked together!

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc.

A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.
The authoritarian takeover of X was a harbinger of the regime’s strategy for America at large.

Bluesky is a perfectly adequate refuge for X exiles. The biggest problem with Bluesky is that so many political and media elites are still on X. That’s not Bluesky’s fault—it reflects poorly on the elite.
I'm doing a big Bluesky column today! Hit me with your where-Bluesky-is-at-this-moment-in-2025 takes

Trump’s travel ban inspired state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi to first run for office. Now, as candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, she could make history Tuesday night as the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States.
