Every single Democrat needs to demand his immediate termination. We need to end this idiotic, pathetic nonsense where Dems go “erm, well, they’ll never listen to us… so I guess we have to keep our heads down…”

We’re half this country and they’re talking about us like we’re animals. Stop it

all of this makes me want to scream, but the part I'm going to be up all night rage-spiraling about is accusing her of "potentially endangering the physical safety of our staff"

just flippin' those narratives right around so the Black woman, a TARGET of violent hate speech, becomes the aggressor

As a trans person, I find this entire news cycle especially painful amidst ... 8+ years of near nonstop pain ... both in terms of the media' failures and also my society's apathy towards me and my life ...
One of the things that's being lost in this moment: how hurtful it is for students who fall into the groups Kirk denigrated to see him put up on a pedestal. Real mask off moment for the MSM outlets who they're already inclined to distrust.
Here’s a lot of the stuff about Charlie Kirk that the right is now currently engaged in a nationwide witch hunt to suppress. Share it, repeat it, don’t let evil win.

Anyway, here’s how the “you got caught” transition was supposed to look in Futari Nezumi, but I didn’t have the tokens, time, OR sufficient brain wrinkles to make work in Pico8. And yeah, the palette ramp fades still work (just don’t mind the flashlight beams, my palettes don’t have alpha 😬)

I opened this app cuz I wanted to talk about what I’ve been doing with my lowish level SDL3 “game engine” code I’ve been fiddling with in my off hours, but everything is awful right now. But, Fuck it, it’s been a fun project do why not.

Liars will lie because the truth doesn’t serve them. They’ll use the fact that they lie freely to project that everyone is lying and objective truth doesn’t exist.

The ignorant will believe the lie because they want to, or because they fear it could be true (or a combination).

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Happy Solstice everyone!

Retro cut, if you like Worms or Scorched Earth, @avarae.bsky.social and I made a Pico-8 homage that is still really fun. The AI doesn't mess around, either!
