Shameless reshare because this handsome fella deserves to be seen more 🐸
Tonight, the Jewish holiday of Purim begins, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.
AI could never
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
An illustration depicting Tifa and Aerith standing on the front porch of Aerith's house. Beyond a foreground of wildflowers and fireflies, Tifa shyly glances away from Aerith, who is holding her hand and looking at her mischievously. They are backlit by the warm glow of the house windows.

Anyway here's a toad from a few nights back on a cool rock
the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸
To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
For those in the US, the correct position is to be anti-war and anti-imperialist.
The US does not have the right to conduct regime change to either destroy the country or install a puppet.
If US sanctions / war are constantly on the neck of the Iranian people, how can they ever achieve freedom.
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.
Only 25% of the white electorate in Gorton & Denton voted Reform. Farage may as well complain that the election was ‘stolen’ by white Britons who didn’t vote at all, or who voted against bigotry.
PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--" PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"
the mild manners are job security, baby

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
Oh God the comments, some Americans need to understand there are people from other countries on the Internet
BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Oh yeah, last week I wrote a thing about the recent high court ruling on bathroom access in the UK for trans folks, and what #videogame studios need to be aware of going forward.
It is a Shit Situation though..

I hate when I go to things and interact with excellent humans who then say "are you on blsky?" And I made a non-commital noise and then I am looking at blsky again 😤

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.
Hi I spoke to @oneofmoo.bsky.social about Mythmatch, an intriguing puzzle game combining RPG and match-three elements with a slyly anti-techbro narrative
