Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Absolutely despise this Sword of Damocles hanging over a game I hold so dear.
Hasbro's multi-year licensing deal with WBwill reportedly focus on "dolls, role play, action figures & collectibles, interactive plush, board games and more" based on the Harry Potter franchise.
The Magic: The Gathering team has been pretty mum on the threat of HP in Universes Beyond, so far.

She's right. The gradual closing of the internet with "save the children" as a wedge issue is progressing and will only serve authoritarians.
We need more political organization around these issues - not just targeting Discord, but targeting the governments that encourage and enable this behaviour.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

If you're really scared of home intruders just get a motion sensor light for your front door and put a camera you don't hook up to anything in a conspicuous place. You wouldn't have been home invaded anyways but at least that isn't contributing to a surveillance state
if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.
But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

The toxic rot at the heart of this slowly collapsing Empire is weaponized transphobia.
The only way to fight it, like the prerequisite for fighting it, is absolutely unimpeachable full throated stentorian acceptance, support, and allegiance to trans people. Anything less is capitulation.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.
