Shrimp and Crits@shrimpandcrits.com

The local teens thought having an end of summer party at the local waterpark would be a splash. They didn't expect a splash... OF BLOOD! 🦐😱🩸 Spend Halloween with us and enjoy this spine-tingling, funny bone breaking one-shot special presentation of PURE EVIL by @maudlingames.com.

Had an immense amount of fun writing prompts for this game. Now I want to hear what delightful horrors everyone else creates this spooky season!

Ian Mauldin@maudlingames.com

Pure Evil is out now for the sinister price of $6.66. This game is a bloodbath. It is a thrill ride. Your skin will crawl, and maybe be removed... but like in a fun way. ianmauldin.itch.io/pure-evil

me and my 3 shots of espresso are ready to record tonight. me and my 3 shots of espresso are unfortunately not excited about doing my actual job between now and then.

Buckle up for this one folks. Ian made the perfect game for your spooky autumn nights.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Helllooooo sports fans! Your Merchant Marines are looking to salvage yet another losing season as they square off against the Yonkers Bonkers. After so many years, you have to wonder if the franchise is simply doomed to fail. Off Hours: Field of Screams Pt 1 monsterhour.podbean.com/e/off-hours-...

Coming in INCREDIBLY LATE with an eerie cup of coffee to point y'all at this delightful episode of @monsterhourpod.bsky.social ! Cap, Drea, and I got to play Triangle Agency with Quinn and I got to do my most traumatizing customer service voice.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@bookshop.org remains an excellent resource for supporting the local bookstores that actually give a damn about books! @libbyapp.com gets you books for free (and you can request that your library carry specific titles!) ThriftBooks has everything, and by that I mean e v e r y t h i n g. Options!

If you like Star Wars, you'll love this game. It's got all the hope and adventure of playing around in the SW universe. @maudlingames.com @ @itscap.bsky.social absolutely crushed it.

Hey folks, I got an urgent request for you. ICE is using our DMV data to track protestors. This isn't getting enough attention given... well... everything else going on. And we need state governors to put a stop to it. They need to hear from you. Very easy action item -- takes 30 seconds. 1/2

It's straightforward. I want a smart speaker but I don't want a digital spy, I want driverless transit but not shitty Waymos, I want mRNA vaccines but not fitness trackers that exploit my data.

Called my reps this AM - all phone lines are busy and all mailboxes are full. Keep it up and send emails and texts when you can't get through.

Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social

Tomorrow morning is a great time to call your reps and tell them to abolish ICE. I wrote a script you can use. And no, this is not a joke, it really is that simple. Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social. That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

Ya know, there's a certain brand of manosphere rightwing podcast dude who thinks that anything demonstrating kindness or gentleness is inherently weakening, and they'll make themselves look ridiculous trying to distance themselves from it.
