I will continue to spam Roguelike Celebration posts until we at least have as many tickets sold as we typically do one day before the con, the schedule is too good this year to accept anything less!!!

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

However much you loathe Gavin Newsom it's not nearly enough.

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only... Got tired of the fit of men’s pants not having enough room in the thigh.

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only... I shared my old name with a multiple felon and I got tired of it messing with my google search results and then went all in on the bit. (Ok so only partially wrong)

pretty disgusted with how I've had multiple queer people (who aren't trans women) come into my mentions and use mental gymnastics for some justification for appealing the original "house trans women with women by default" ruling just because the AG is a Democrat and surely he meant well. he didn't.

Oregon Democratic politicians appealing a favorable ruling so it would get overruled by MAGA 9th circuit appointees is a great example of how Democrats want trans women to be raped and killed in prisons as much as Republicans do, just politely.

At this point, if no action is taken to enforce this law, it becomes clear that the law itself is a dead letter - and perhaps always intended to be so. Was the passage of this law simply a PR stunt, or is this ACTUALLY the law of the land in New York State?

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Replying to @alprather.bsky.social

They said it was narrowly targeted at Medicaid, but in practice, if you get health insurance through your state employer (including state universities)--even though it's part of your compensation and you pay the full share for your dependents, GAC is no longer in your policy.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

I wrote about this ****months***** ago, and no outlets paid attention. Frankly, very few people paid attention to that at all. Now outlets are doing this and I'm not getting a lick of credit, even though a simple Google pulls it out.

Alex Massie conjured up a figure of aroudn 450 trans women convicted rapists over the space of a decade in a piece he did for the Times and got away with it despite that number being larger than the total number of trans women in the British prison system altogether (most of them not for rape).

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social

The major story of the last decade is the resurgence of overt racist hatred and fascism, on a specific platform of removing the civil rights of citizens, and deporting them where possible. The British press has - at best - used this opportunity to hammer the fuck out of everyone it’s always despised

Warner Bros is reaching new levels of desperation to hype up the new wizard boy show. They’re actively seeking out trans influencers to do promo and there is no hell hot enough for these traitors.

As the PR for the new show putting money in the pockets of the shitty wizard lady heats up, just remember: Everything every person has been coached by PR to say is total bullshit and we can call it that. Will tap the sign again, and will do so many more times this fall: bsky.app/profile/mory...

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry. The end.

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Two notes: This contains no walkback of her support on sports bans, calling trans girls boys, etc. And then also, her added statement has "sexual orientation" but not "gender identity." Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Amy Acton needs to apologize for her harmful statement and come out against sports bans.
