On Tues. March 21 at 5pm, join us for a #StopCopCity solidarity action at DOJ to demand that they investigate the violence and #civilrights abuses by Atlanta & Georgia police and prosecutors. Please share widely.

When we say "crime is a social construct", what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jail for littering, but a corporation can poison the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jail.

Wow, I can’t believe Biden started the State of the Union like this. Powerful stuff
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is a parody of the 2023 State of the Union by President Biden. This was created by @JuuustinBrown. The unaltered SOTU can be seen here: youtube.com/live/gzcBTUvVp…

fun fact: after the game got big in 2020 we had to change the colour of the MedBay cross because we apparently violated the Geneva Conventions Act by making it red???? oops

SRD in Creative Commons feels like great news for #KoboldPress Project Black Flag! Not sure how close to 5e they’re aiming, but I’m excited to see what’s next!! Wild idea: let’s continue supporting the companies that didn’t try to crush the industry a couple weeks ago 👍

Senate Democrats—instead of tasking your comms team to write statements and tweets about Tyre Nichols, you have the ability to go to the floor, carve out the filibuster, pass the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act & end qualified immunity.

(We’re all thrilled about D&D but please remember to try and play and buy new games anyway.)

you know what fatigues me - you start a new gaming group, and new people only ever turn up if you play D&D - you play for a time, and then it...sticks. it becomes really hard to demand they learn other games, as everyone is busy and tired so many games gather dust on my shelves

The gas stove thing is funny because policy-wise it's the equivalent of the government banning lead paint and the conservative outrage surrounding it also probably has to do with lead paint

"if nurses aren't happy with their pay/working conditions, they can leave" yes okay but here's where it gets interesting because we do not actually want them to do that

i want a game dev awards focused on the people who are the backbone of the industry but they'd be reasonably boring. "this is sonia. sonia was the lead backend engineer of every game you've ever played in the last 20 years. she has never tweeted"

Any support of the Harry Potter franchise current projects while JK Rowling is in charge of it and using her ongoing platform to target and also justify her continued targeting of trans people is harmful to trans people.

Dear Teachers, As some of you may know, if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the Christian holiday of “Christmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas or Nittel. 1/x

The stuff uncovered in the Twitter whistleblower report is much crazier than anything in the "Twitter files" but it's much less politically/tribally salient so it got no attention. Going to do a thread on some of the craziest things, in no particular order.
