Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

Russia murdered a toddler yesterday. The child was still sitting in a stroller when a Russian drone struck a children’s playground. Their mum was killed too. A mother and child who should have had their whole lives together. 🙏

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

For Zelda 40th I’d like to share how Nintendo permanently lost a fan who would have happily purchased a switch 2 for a Ocarina of Time remaster. I haven’t purchased a Nintendo product since I got a Switch for Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild would have been 💯 up my alley as a game except..

Their greed is why we don’t have these things anymore. Greed is why streaming services now have ads. Greed is why Office is a subscription and not a product you just get to buy anymore. Greed is why GamesWorkshop doesn’t include Codex’s with yearly subscription for 40K.

If we aren’t using technology advancement to make our daily lives better and more fulfilling then what’s the point of it? They’re going to make puzzles that waste your time, so you keep running on the little wheels and spending money on proprietary technology only they profit from. Fuck that.

I once considered myself a “gamer”. Yet modern games are so disconnected from being social and feeling a part of a community unless you’re into using sexist, racial, and homophobic slurs online. Games aren’t polished anymore for release, they ship them halfway done and make the rest of the game DLC.

I can go get a SNES and A Link to the Past is a full polished, beautiful game still to this day. Doesn’t need a patch, or DLC, or constant balancing. I can own it, and play it anywhere I can plug into electricity and a TV. It could even run on my phone now that we have the technology to do so.

This game isn’t for me to play or enjoy. For me that was just sad, and I haven’t touched my Switch except to pack it between moving and now it sits in my storage unit. I can’t see myself buying any Nintendo product again, it’s too niche of a product anymore. Between that and Sony…

Saying you don’t get to own things you pay for. I’m kind of glad I’ve stuck with Xbox for now, not that I like Microsoft. But they’ve at least tried to bridge the cross platform gap. Games should be a fun form of entertainment, and honestly, big companies have lost all their damn minds.

They installed a mechanic, which was a gate keeping mechanic for any adult who has an actual life. Your main attack breaks. Durability is okay, except when you have puzzles that require hitting a stupid ball across a gap perfectly within set amount of hit or you break the weapon and cannot continue.

That was enough for me to say I don’t have time for this game, or Nintendo for that matter. This is someone who beat the original Zelda as a child, replayed A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora’s Mask all to 💯 completion dozens of times. I got to one puzzle in BotW, and knew,

We weren’t born to make billionaires more money. If you’re working today and not an essential worker, or getting paid double for the day. You should re-evaluate your employment status. Happy Labor Day, don’t let those greedy fucks keep stealing your time, you only have so much.

Funny how most people completely ignored my resignation from the USPS as hyperbolic and not an actual warning of what is to come from its collective collapse as a functioning independent service organization.

It would take many people that have left to fix it. Those of us that got overwhelmed by impossible tasks of no staff, subsidizing corporations like Amazon with our own overtime hours, and taking away easy tasks to third party systems that killed our local ties to our communities to funnel money out.

It’s just sad, and it wasn’t an easy decision for me to resign, nor has it been easy to give up my job and deal with a mortgage on a house that I can’t unload because Trump had completely fucked the housing market and interest rates. 8 years USPS and 5 USMC, and basically back to where I started.

You normalized the mistreatment of USPS employees, slowly walking back the union gains since the 70s, then expect the USPS to still serve the American people when the pay has not kept up with inflation, and they’re begging for employees in many areas. It used to be a sought after job.

It’s just frustrating to have tried to sound an alarm, but nobody listened. Now the same people I tried to warn are calling attention of the current predicament. It’s a little late. They’ve already fucked and infested the system.

I even sent letters to Biden and Harris while they were still in office about the need to fill the boards positions Biden left vacant as long as he did and the need to replace DeJoy. Now that everything is complete shit, a “whistleblower” has finally come forward… nobody was paying attention.

They’ve been dismantling the USPS for years, appointing people that create policy on purpose to make it run financially negative. From Amazon Sunday delivery and eating up overtime delivering bullshit from Amazon, to outsourcing to billpay services and Salesforce programs that erode customer service

Breaking: A whistleblower at the US Postal Service has come forward to reveal a “secretive” effort by Trump to undermine mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. “Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all.”

While I’ve enjoyed playing Fallout games, I’d rather not live through one. It’s as if the wealthy don’t read books or enjoy media. I guess if they’re anything like Trump, they’ll have no problem repopulating their bunker with their daughters.

This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.

The sailors don’t deserve this. And they sure as hell don’t deserve to have their suffering denied by the President and Secretary of Defense. Iran damaged the logistics hub in Bahrain, disrupting supplies to the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth kept it a secret, and it NEVER has gone on this long.
