Managed to complete it laparoscopically—still painful because, yknow, abdominal surgery, but this is so much better than the time I got gutted like a fish

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Hot tip: the litany against fear is a good ass recitation when you’re sitting and waiting for surgery

I’m tickled by the idea of a Workplace Warrior Training. Gotta keep that window in focus to be a warrior!

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

I forget now who it was that compared our game to Battle Chess, but I hadn't made that connection myself until I read it, and then I was like YESSS we're making a new weirder Battle Chess. "Robert Eggers' Battle Chess" you might say. They don't let me be the spokesperson for our games, for a reason.

The demo of our folk horror card strategy game The Killing Stone is live!

We gots creepy characters and furry friends and so many animated figurines with sweet VFX. Also the enemy AI is pretty diabolical, that's on me.

Please check it out and leave a review!

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD
STAY LOUD

CODE I:
ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS
• A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS.

RECOGNIZABLE.
IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.
• OUR VOICES ARE
STRONGER TOGETHER.
WHISTLES GUIDE
PEOPLE TO:
• FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS
• CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD
• ALERT NEIGHBORS
TO JOIN IN
NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 3d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

zaratustra @zaratustra.bsky.social · 3d

the use of "sickening" and "disgusting" as a synonym for "immoral" suggests that the primary dictator of morals to humanity is not religion but the gag reflex

I hugely admire your approach to and perspective on game dev and collaboration, and every time we get to hang out I leave with sides aching from laughter. Can’t wait for the next time, once my abdomen is healed and ready to be abused by my diaphragm

Pacific Drive is the game I’m most proud of, but there’s absolutely parts of Mafia 3 that rank up there

Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · 3d

I’m alternating brethren getting curb stomped in Expedition 33 and curb stomping racists in Mafia 3.

Mafia 3 is SO SATISFYING my god. I’ve replayed the first act like 4 times. I’ve never really made it too far into Cuba
