GC/TERF funded ads have been appearing in the street, ginning up controversy. Like, paid ads.

About three weeks ago, a fundamentalist christian 'for the family’ type group paid for “gender is not a choice" radio ads. They refuse to say where the money is coming from, and nobody knows who paid for the public street ads either.

They're all connected. We've known for years that US organisations are funding this stuff, along with local donors. I have a list of receipts a mile long.

It was as recent as 2016 when the American right started looking in earnest for its moral panic, the preferred internal enemy that could catapult the movement into full fascism.

(This isn’t to say that the American right hasn’t been bigoted for the entirety of its existence. But there’s a substantive difference between its general bigotry and the specific phenomenon of fascism’s target of murderous hate. That target has to be a) internal to the fascist society and b) widespread enough that everyone has “heard” of them but c) socially weak enough to systematically murder so d) the fascists can rally everyone around bullying them.)

I’m old enough to remember when they floated the trial balloon of “prominent liberals are kidnapping children and performing satanic sexual rituals on them in the nonexistent basement of a neighborhood pizza place in DC.” That fever dream only really took off in the extreme fringe of the right; it was too ridiculous.

But from that seed, we’ve watched the right move from an absurd retread of the 80s daycare panic to a full-blown genocidal program against trans people. They bounced around for a while, testing out “groomers” and seeing how upset people got over drag shows. Every step of the way, they’ve trialed these things, calibrating their hate, seeing what stuck and what didn’t.

There was even a stretch when they tried out immigrants as the alternative, but it looks like it’s trans people who drew the fascist short straw this time.

It’s as fascinating as it is vile and terrible. They tested it out. They workshopped it. There was never a moment they genuinely cared; all the right wanted was someone they could rally the public around mass murdering. It could have been anyone: Central American migrants; their old standby, the Jews; gay people; anyone. It’s genuinely astonishing how fast that happened, how quickly they’ve taken this frenzy to the mainstream of their politics. Just seven years.

Yet Another Super Note project (this time for the #Metroidvania Month game jam, so at least game genre is fixed)
Total reuse of assets today, except for the DB16 palette (less saturated than what I usually work with and without perfect black/white)
This time I added a "turn" animation which really adds to the game feel, I wonder if you can notice it?

a couple of years ago I stumbled upon an ad for a hundred #shareware games on floppy disks. how could I resist?

they proved to be incredibly unwieldy to display, or even put in a disk box. the solution turned out to be a wire turnstile rack (once) used to display greeting cards. it was the perfect fit for 3.5” and 5.25” disks!

By now, many of you have seen the footage of the monk (or mud wizard) facing off with hapless riot police during the defense of #Lutzerath this past weekend.

If you have not seen it, treat yourself to it now:

https://twitter.com/HerrHoert/status/1614386528934846470

In fact, this mysterious figure already appeared in 2018, during the defense of the ZAD (the "Zone to Defend," a longtime squatted area where the residents blocked the construction of an airport) at Notre-Dame-des-Landes.

According to le Monde, the police ambushed the monk among a group of other defenders. The monk threw three buckets of water at the police, proclaiming "I baptize you in the name of the ZAD!" In the ensuing chaos, he made off with one of their batons.
