You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

This is great. I also think we need this kind of effort and conversation in cities with those consuming left-leaning information. This is Bluesky and I know no one wants to hear this but...a lot of people's views are OFF and they don't know it or want to hear it. 😬 We can all do better.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

To me, here's what's so mind-boggling about the Disney situation: We've seen this movie before. Trump made demands, and those universities that caved were faced with more demands. They didn't reap a sudden bumper crop of young conservatives eager to enroll - they didn't benefit in any way.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

It'd be funny if Kier Starmer was secretly playing a long, long con - pretending to be a racist, useless, centrist stooge to lull Shitler into a false sense of security, only to bundle him off to the ICC the moment he sets foot in 10 Downing. Not going to happen, but it's fun to think about.

"Sir, this is a [HOWLING OF MILLIONS OF DEMONS OF HELL]."

the next few seasons of the show were supposed to be about him, and everyone knew it, and then nick fuentes, that poor, stupid, loyal twink, fucking beefed it for all of them by killing him. or engaging in stochastic terrorism such that he was killed by one of his followers. the world may never know

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

damn that's so crazy. picture unrelated

My hot take for the day: the bicameral legislature of the US is a relic of (among other things) a time when distance, and a lack of free time and education, prevented the average citizen from participating meaningfully in governance. At *least* two of those obstacles have been overcome. (1)

OMG YOU'RE DRIZZT DO'URDEN!!

Pretty sure the dev meeting where GGG cooked up Zolin and Zelena went something like this: Dev 1: So you know how we hate minion builds? Dev 2: Go on. Dev 1: What if Zelena leeched 5000% of minion life on hit, and what if Zolin could heal himself off Zelena's corpse? Dev 2: Brilliant!

Impeachment of certain justices and/or expansion of the Supreme Court should be part of every left-leaning Congressperson's 2026 campaign. I know it won't be, but it really - really - should be.

Really digging Act IV of #PoE2 so far. The new environments and enemies are fresh and thematically appropriate, and the whole island exploration mechanic seems like a better-thought-out, better-executed iteration on the Act II caravan mechanic. (1)

Can't find a single thing wrong with this...

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.

Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.

Been playing #BG3 and decided to go re-treading the old lore about the Dead Three for shits/giggles. I was reading about Bane's mustache-twirling villainy, and for a brief moment a spark of my pre-2016-self shone through - the idea of people worshipping an avowed tyrant seemed briefly laughable.

I'll stop posting it when these guys learn to read. There’s no such thing as the ‘Dark Ages’, but OK – Going Medieval share.google/Ul4nzhXimUUo...

After DEA GOONS begin to harass and question a man sitting in Starburst Plaza in NE Washington DC, local neighbors remind him of his rights and stand with him until the GOONS give up on their harassment.

Question for folks familiar with Pathfinder Society organized play: The Tattooed Historian archetype text says that the RAW represent the Belkzen version of the archetype, and that other regional variants are possible - does PFS typically allow this? #PF2e, #TTRPG

In other news, DoW IV looks good as hell! A Warhammer 40k property whose campaign won't have Chaos being the 'surprise' enemy all along? Back to DoW 1 base-building with some DoW 2 cover/terrain mechanics? Necrons on launch? Sign me the hell up. #wh40k

if Ds ever get the presidency again, they need to be willing to say, "this is an emergency" and do whatever shit is necessary to denazify.

An education system that can produce Americans who say 'slavery benefitted the slaves' with their full chest is guilty of two failings (among others): failing to convey the horrendous reality of slavery in the US, and failing to teach African history. (1)

Derp that I am, I *just* realized that Raphael's emphasis on claws (cat and mouse rhyme he greets you with, and 'Here come the claaaws!' during his theme song) was probably intended as a play on words. 'Claws', after all, sounds exactly like 'clause', i.e. the chief weapon of a devil. #bg3

Well, I’m not far from 40 and I also support this terminology.

#MythAugust: Eshu-Legba delivers the offerings and prayers of mortals to the other gods, assists diviners in reading the future, and provided a Common Tongue for all people of Midaye to share (in addition to their various regional tongues). bsky.app/profile/prof...

#ttrpg: I feel like Brainstealer Dragons (introduced in 3.5e D&D) are one of those creatures whose very existence in the setting presents so many questions and implications that they could easily be a centerpiece/BBEG for an entire campaign. (1)

My tanuki exemplar, who will wear a sake barrel as his wooden breastplate and use its lid as a shield, brandishing his tanto menacingly/adorably. Haven't yet decided on a suitably derpy name just yet. #ttrpg #Pathfinder2e

#ttrpg When Archives of Nethys pinged me about the new Jotunborn ancestry for PF2e, I was like: 'Ooh, giant-adjacent characters? I'm interested.' When I read that they were descendants of the titans, I was like: 'Even better! Can't wait to see how I can roll a danava titan-spawn or something!' (1)

“Do you think life should suck for everyone and be an ongoing hell or do you think things could be better?” “BETTER!” “This somehow isn’t going as well as I thought”

Take of questionable temperature: US Dems need to stop being so terrified of competitive primaries. They're not 'bloodbaths' - sadly, no one is getting chivved on the debate stage - they're opportunities for candidates to refine their message, identify their own weak points, and develop defenses.

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

Okay, well. Queer & especially trans authors of erotica and other content deemed 'nsfw' by major platforms, please drop links to where people can find your stories in the replies. Everyone else: Repost people's links. Stop worrying about the sanctity of your feed & help the most impacted authors.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

The Rabbit God (兔兒神) of Fujian is a rare divine figure in Chinese folklore: a guardian of male-male love. Once a mortal named Hu Tianbao, also called Butterfly Bao, he fell for a Qing-era inspector—silently watching him from afar, shadowing his travels, and once, peeking at him alone. 1/2

Ah yes, the timeless struggle of TTRPGS: Do I play a serious character grounded in the setting with an elaborate backstory, or do I rock a goofy-ass tanuki samurai with sake barrel armor who protects his allies with the power of booze? PF2e choice paralysis is real.

A secret police in every way.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

It will be hilarious to watch this Supreme Court conduct Olympic-level mental gymnastics to reinstitute nationwide injunctions the moment a slightly left-wing administration and Congress return to power. Wanna codify abortion protections in federal law? Gunna have nationwide injunctions, somehow.

Gunna huff some hopeium and imagine a future where the DNC puts the Mamdani and Obama wins in a side-by-side comparison and finally figures out that their base wants (and has wanted for a while) young, progressive candidates running on new, forward-thinking ideas.

I know a lot of yall are heaping praise on Darrington Press and Daggerheart right now and have even suggested I make content for it. But I won’t. And here’s why.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

Bibi wants war in Iran, but Putin doesn't. Torn between his two foreign handlers, which will Trump choose? I'm hoping he finds Putin and the anti-war cohort of his base to be more persuasive. In addition to not dragging us into war, it *might* provoke the warmongers in his party to act against him.

There's a common phrase amongst the Igbo people that goes, "Igbo enwe eze" (Igbos have no king). Proud to be both Igbo and truly American. #NoKings

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.
