Casus Belli: The number of hotdogs in the pack doesn't match the number of rolls.

PARENTS, please check your kids Halloween candy. I just found dwarven siege weaponry, some STILL under construction. No words.

I would play an EVE game that played like X4... just sayin'

🔍 BIG NEW investigation: Zombie debt collectors are taking advantage of Russ Vought's decimation of the CFPB and going after homeowners who are now alone fighting to fend off massive interest charges in hopes of saving their homes 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

It really kinda feels like, regardless of conservatism or progressivism, left or right, etc, the pair-off is generally between the corrupt and the not. How do you balance a system between the two? Did Nash et al come up with anything?

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

technically speaking, I would watch Independence Day 3 if they got around to making it

Pay as you go SaaS like adobe products (photoshop on this particular day) has become terribly unreliable (and far too expensive.)

Seamless seems to be having a systems aneurism today

Wha.... c'mon, really? I can't buy Oban Star Racers dvds or bluray except used off ebay?

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Georgia! get this to Georgia! ps i love you and miss you Georgia

I'm just gonna listen to all the elder scrolls soundtracks in order while I work... too bad that soule turned out to be such a git, or so I heard.

idea: vote for people who will call mike johnson a fucking loser instead of saying we need a strong republican party

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

it's weird being able to actually HAVE discourse here... can't really do that on xitter or facebook anymore

Reasonable

I have my disagreements with the democratic establishment (being too capitalist for me), but I still seethe at times about how much they actually try to help the people who vote against them... and only ever get punished and vilified by the same folk they're trying to help.

I should be running for office, but it would be difficult explaining how a progressive like me could have worked at a fairly conservative organization for over 20 years. **headdesk** At least I have no tattoos or drunken escapades.

It's O'Donnell okay? He's off his show a lot lately.

Still sailing the seas! Get in here and listen to some funky music while I blast some cannons! Skull and Bones right now! twitch.tv/mikiran

I'm not automatically against the idea of, say every 2nd or 3rd census, increasing the number of congressional seats. Then again, I'm also for retiring the senate in favor of a body of subject matter experts whose job is to veto house bills that violate reality, basic measurable ethics, etc

Parmesan belongs on fried rice

I keep having to share this today, since the topic of how badly gerrymandered TX already is came up ... all the respondents were like, 'but but but blue state' as if there being such a thing meant they were gerrymandered... but only a few are unfairly leading D, but many are unfairly leaning R

I grew up in Tulsa and never learned about the 1921 Race Massacre until I became a fan of the GAP Band in college, and out of simple curiosity, looked up the origin of their name (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine Streets— the epicenter of destruction). That horrifying history must not be silenced again.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I made this... but i'm reposting in part because I'm almost tempted to try SORA2 to draft up a 'demo reel' of my desire to see a prequel to #forbiddenplanet, and i'm completely convinced that #cumberbatch can pull of a younger morbius with ease. Sounds/looks/acts like him already.

Good morning, patrons! Tonight at 7:30pm Central, @forneiavtuber.bsky.social and I will continue our read-through of City Of Angles! See you then!

One doesn't hide from creatures of darkness in the dark... instead, find the biggest goddamn flashlight you can carry and shine it right their damned eyes

It's probably just a coincidence, but... I'd upgraded my mobo to something win11 could run on a while back. Machine had been buggy as all get out ever since. Thought it was my fault. Get an update on day win10 died. Now machine works as normal. Did they give up on a harassment campaign?

Yes yes yes

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

This l'il guy came out for the NO KINGS protest this afternoon

Good news: carbon intensity has declined Bad news: carbon emissions increased, due to the rapid rise in world GDP Also bad news: the chance of staying below 2°C remained low, at 17% Better news: chance of going above 3°C has gone down substantially, from 26% to 9%
