All we ever hear from Americans is how they’d never stand for such things.
They have guns.
They’d FIGHT BACK.

If you are upholding a system that continually dehumanizes, neglects, murders and impoverishes people- you’re doing violence.

Today my brother and I joined a march in North Hollywood, protesting the hostile takeover of the US government by anti-democracy oligarchs. Turnout was great, and I think it's really important to spread the word that Americans are furious about what's happening right now. @50501movement.bsky.social

Punching down asshole helicopter jokes aren’t even funny on South Park; let alone from real comedians

I've said this before but when bo burnhams inside came out the internet was wall to wall with memes, clips, audios, references, remixes. when transphobic comedians released their bs conservatives crowed that they won the culture war but i never saw a single quote from any of their shows.

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

And more women publishers, store owners, distributors, etc. One thing I learned in a previous startup life is that gatekeepers have a bias to others like themselves and like prior success stories. It’s not even ill-intentioned. More women in “gatekeeper” roles == more published women designers.
Share, repost, talk about games by women. Tell people about games by women. Buy games by women.
Demand publishers work with women. Demand creators make content about women. Champion those who do.
Let women know you like their games.
Replace any of the above with nb’s and you’d be good as well.

What can we do to change this? Drawing attention to the work of women and enbies in the industry seems like a good start, but maybe there's something else that would help.

The Bracket image leaves a lot of the nuance (from the article) about player intent out of the conversation. I, with input from the available members of the CFP, reworked the image to include it.
