Damn that’s a real shame

I love that. What a cool idea

Looks great

Thank you! I’m in the process of setting it up

Doesn’t sound like you have any evidence to support your claim

I'm gonna start mine!

Check out this funny bootleg description of Wink and the Broken Robot. Someone came up with this completely original and inaccurate description of the game for a bootleg site! #funny #bootlegs #jokes #videogames #gamer #gaming #gameboy #gameboygame #gameboycolor #gameboyadvance #90s #retrogames #

This is a big deal and I support them

Let's not let them get away with it this time
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Can you give me some examples of racist hate democrats have spewed?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Where has science proved that?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social)
Anyone else use Odysee?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
That sounds like exactly what we need. Thanks for telling me
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Let's lobby for eachother
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
And they never will. Because they're the bad guys

We need to actually do a reconstruction. The fact that we didn’t is the reason we have the current regime in power We need de-nazification that goes much further than Germany after WWII There must never again be any semblance of moving forward and forgetting the past and letting it happen again
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
How’d that come about?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Reconstruction didn’t even scratch the surface. That’s the reason we still have this problem today. Reconstruction should’ve required back pay for every freed slave and their ancestors from the slaveowners. It should’ve completely reversed the economic status of slaves and slaveowners
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social)
They get us every time
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Good. Time to stand up for ourselves
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Good. How can we support it?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
This is kinda amazing

It works on Mac? I couldn’t figure it out

That’s cool. What’s Odysee?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
You sidestepped my question
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
But trans women are women so there’s no one saying men should play in women’s sports
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Why don’t you apply the same logic to Democrats?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
She said: “Look I'm just a person trying to have a conversation here. I need you to assume for a second that I'm not a psycho and that I actually value love and peace and want for all people to be able to live good lives.” Where’s the hatred for humanity in that?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
What racist slurs exist for white conservatives?
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
You have Trump Derangement Syndrome and can’t even recognize a reasonable normal human interaction. Get help.

No one is falling for “democrats are openly antisemitic and racist”
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks for telling me about it!
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Who could’ve seen that coming? 🤷
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you joking? Thats not my read on what he said at all It means we have to find ways to counter those emotional appeals that actually work. What we’re doing has not worked. It’s time to find better strategies
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
So you’re exactly the person I want to talk to! Do you have any ideas how to counter these emotional appeals? Are there any studies or examples from history? This is so important but I feel uninformed
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
And if anything, it seems like it drives them further into racism and right wing insanity. That’s why I’m asking a lot of people their ideas. I tried a bunch of things that didn’t work and I’m not sure what to do next
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
How does that work? Especially in families and areas where the good ones are in the minority or about even I’ve seen this play out and DONE this myself. It doesn’t work because that’s not an effective way to change people’s minds. They can easily find supporters and an echo chamber to validate them
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s definitely a huge challenge but I do think now is probably one of the easiest times to do it in human history thanks to the internet. And we could even turn AI against the powerful who love AI by spamming constant leftist propaganda made in it. I hate AI but it might be a good way to subvert it
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s why we need to take power no matter how hard or slow it is
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social)
Jammie Thomas had to pay $220,000 for pirating 24 songs. That’s over $9,000 per song How many books did the AI industry pirate? Doesn’t a book feel worth more than a song? If justice exists, these authors will all become millionaires

I ask myself that all the time, but for some reason no one cared until the rich thought they could benefit
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
A business model that doesn’t work
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Unforced error. They didn’t have to commit the most piracy in history, but they did choose to We can’t rewrite our laws just to prop up an industry that doesn’t provide anything close to what authors provide AI couldn’t exist without the work of these writers. They are owed money.
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Wtf
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Sucks this is the first time it’s a trans person but you know conservatives are gonna have a field day and use it to demonize trans women. Even though it’s usually conservative men killing kids. It doesn’t matter because they don’t care about the truth and they have powerful propaganda networks
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ohhh!
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree! I think we have to figure that out. We’ve tried logic, we’ve learned it’s not working. Now what can we do? I know there are solutions. We just have to try things til we find something that works
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
And a great one
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s possible we could redefine dealing with crime to mean that
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
But why is that? Because of the propaganda We can’t throw up our hands. We have to find solutions
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Those Dems must be primaried and replaced. Neoliberalism has left a huge vacuum for fascism and we have to fix that
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Broken windows and broken bridges
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Great point. I think we need to talk to people about that
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
I like that idea
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah we definitely don’t need the electoral college and we should get rid of that but it’s gonna be hard. That’s a long term goal
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Nope! No matter how far right democrats go, republicans will always go further right and call democrats weak on crime socialists The solution is figure out how to communicate with people who are 1. Gaslight by propaganda 2. Emotionally activated because of it And how to disrupt the propaganda
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Logic matters but it doesn’t matter in this specific context because these people are in an emotional state What we need to do is use our logical skills to figure out how to bridge that gap and communicate the truth to people who are out of touch because of propaganda
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
You’re so right. So what do we do about it? There is a solution to this problem, we just haven’t found it yet. Let’s fix that.
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Doesn’t seem like it worked
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally. Want to brainstorm some ideas for what we can do instead? I’m kinda at a loss and I’d love some ideas
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
If democrats want to deal with crime they’re going to have to target red states, which are the ones with the highest crime Maybe that’s why conservatives want junk crime is so high. They see it all the time and the media tells them it’s even worse in big cities, even though it’s not
Wink! (@winkwinkerson.bsky.social) reply parent
Nice to hear some good news!

Um.... Hi @fallontonight.bsky.social , Hi Anthony Mackie... WOW. Amazing to wake up to find my website, thecosmiccircus.com ( @thecosmiccircus.com ) was mentioned on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night. 😲

Such a great and impressive NES game. That would be considered a classic if it came out in the 80s or 90s

Makes sense! It's kinda frustrating that Itch didn't make those decisions themselves and just waited until it all blew up. But if they learn from their mistakes, I think forgiveness is worthwhile
