Patience is a Gun On a road a pellet in a pond Imbecile to king Not the one you think I see nothing I hope it can feel seen Undo a row alone Stamped to travel Son you're not from 'round here Mulch Gravel crunching boots A tunnel Hunting for the future Bleeding at your feet

Around the Long Fire is a biweekly classical literature book club though we’ve branched out into TV recently. We talk a lot of movies, books, gender stuff, and much much more. www.abnormalmapping.com/longfire

Abnormal Mapping is a monthly game club often focused on old games that has been going uninterrupted for 13 years this month! www.abnormalmapping.com#/abnormal-ma...

Happy birthday Emmeline! There's a ton of great shows on Abnormal Mapping, but my number one with a bullet is Around the Long Fire, walking through the old eddas and sagas with a critical, thoughtful lens (and some of my favorite TV, to boot.)

the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

in the midst of all those new games, I wanna take the time to shine a light on ✨ After the Wane ✨, by indie french studio @nova-box.com it's a narrative game with gorgeous 2D art that surely deserves your wishlist & more when it releases november 10 store.steampowered.com/app/2742720/...

this is just insanely damning stuff when you lay it all out democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Why the road to American fascism was paved by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

This is so cute…better wishlist it

every final fantasy resonance ad is "here's your oomphie, bartz! he's so cool! you know who else thinks he's cool? this sauceless brain-empty man that's the actual main character of the story"

"At one point in Perfect Victims, El-Kurd observes how victims must be 'sanitized and subdued' before anyone can possibly sympathize with them: 'One could say the same about sexual assault victims: we must notify the listener that the victim was sober and dressed appropriately.'"

“give them addictive personalities” “are there any treatments?” “amphetamines!”

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

Incidentally, Chris Hilton is the lawyer who represents Elon Musk in his defamation lawsuit against Media Matters. Musk is the single largest political donor to Paxton and has repeatedly attacked Talarico on the transgender issue in recent weeks.

Mysha Qureshi, a South Asian UT junior, said students are paying attention to the “shift” on campus. She is concerned that by not calling out the racism toward students, UT is allowing a “hostile” environment toward students of color to grow. “They are not protecting us, Qureshi said.

Easy to reconcile "most politics is local" and "wow everyone in my english-speaking timeline is celebrating the defeat of Bolsonaro Jr in Brazil." We live in an interconnected system with interconnected problems. The fate of the literal Amazon and the machinations of Silicon Valley matter globally.

NEW: Omar Muñoz, a 72-year-old LA grandfather, was dragged out of his home by DHS agents and paraded in front of cameras for Trump's "voter fraud" crackdown. The DOJ used footage of his arrest for a promotional video. Omar is a green card holder in the US for 50+ yrs W @samrlevine.bsky.social

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Anyway, here is Bosch that time when he turned himself into a wheel so he could get butt scratches and try and lick me at the same time

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

the kids couldn’t possibly understand how many direct to video The Land Before Time sequels there were

Man. Santana’s Abraxas is a perfect album

BioWare's loss has impacted our team as many of us spent over a decade working on their games. While we'll never be able to recapture the glory days exactly as they were, you can find some of the former BW team are still here, still making games, trying to do our roots proud.
