Can't be too specific because I have players on here, but I'm really pleased with how my Nefertiti Overdrive one-shot Halloween adventure is shaping up.

Its so frustrating that any Chicagoan can still side with these thuggish clowns.

I do have to wonder if Chotiner had even the slightest inkling of the Star Wars anecdote's existence, or if he was just as surprised to hear it as we were to read it.

On the one hand, yeah Biden dedicated his entire legislative career towards achieving GOP policy goals, but on the other, as the head of the Executive Branch, he did... appoint an AG that loves Republicans and couldn't be bothered to even inconvenience them over their many obvious crimes.

Chotiner: You must like this Slay the Spire game a lot if you've dedicated so much time to it. Me: Oh yes, absolutely. It's one of my favorites. Chotiner: You must be quite good at the game by now if you've played it for this long. Me: This interview is over.

I know that I sound like a crazy person every time I try to explain to my family back home what DC is like, and how it runs on class and power solidarity that cuts across any ostensible ideological lines. The next time I try and fail, I'm just going to whip out this article and make them read it.

Food bank donations are just about the best I ever feel seeing a debit on my bank statement

Harris interview worse than I imagined...

It's an older grift, sir, but it checks out

Just a reminder that in addition to canceling Disney, you should also cancel Paramount. Hiring racist transphobe Bari Weiss as head of CBS News and actively denying that Israel is committing genocide are both really harmful.

This is another good one to pick. I know we're all entangled in Microsoft and every other tech company's putrid tendrils, but you can still hurt them in specific places.

apparently he's back, and without needing to grovel or apologize. Now, hopefully everyone who ditched Disney has also ditched WaPo and NYT who have been caving to Trump for longer, and with even less upside.

This story is horrifying. Dick Wolf is wildly underrated as an architect of our current fascist dystopia.

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

I was over on Reddit and Americans were pushing for a worldwide Disney boycott and people from other countries were realizing this was something they could do to fight Trump. Things could get interesting.

Would you vote for a candidate who believes the government should compel people to donate blood and/or kidneys whenever there is a shortage? I would sooner vote for that candidate than a "pro-life" one, because at least they aren't sexist in how they deprive people of medical autonomy.

Gotta pick up this game eventually, it sounds great

I love my medieval-early renaissance death imagery. Their skeletons are never clean autopsy specimens, they are yellowed and sporting leathery skin, rotting organs and even tufts of still-attached hair. (from the Nuremberg Chronicle)

Dems winning the midterms will only matter to the extent that the pre-midterm primaries are won by progressive challengers.

Hey, that's more than supported impeaching Trump this congress! Democrats: Party of honoring Charlie Kirk and keeping Trump in office.

Re-read the Michael Crichton novel Sphere. Reads real different as an adult in the 2020s vs a kid in the early 90s. Still holds up overall but a lot of the characters (including the viewpoint) are way less likeable than I remembered.

I know the underlying issue is as serious as it gets, but this is a pretty funny sidebar.

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

The outpouring of support from readers & colleagues is overwhelming. I can't imagine them coming together like this for a "problematic" trans woman even five years ago. If you want to help me make up the lost income from comics work, you can subscribe to my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/scumbeliev...

Jumpscared by this, but it was a false alarm, like a cat in a horror movie

I signed up for a protest once, in like 2016. Then I saw a few social media posts about how there isn't really any reason to do that, and the associated risk might be small but isn't non-existent. So I stopped signing up for protests. I still go to them!

I should write something that synthesizes the Gnostic Gospel of Judas with the ancient aliens school of history. call it Iscariots of the Gods

EU4 is nice for this: having both some measure of control over history, *and* transparency into many of the variables you don't control, is very pleasant.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

I want to apologize for the below post, made two minutes ago at the time of this writing. It reflected a deeply callous and indifferent attitude towards the recent passing of a man who, while I did not always agree with him, could certainly be said to have gone to some places and said things

Watching Weapons and Unknown Number in quick succession made me so glad not to be a parent. I just can't imagine the stress of that kind of responsibility.

What an unspeakable tragedy for conservatives that the shooter turned out to be a right-wing white guy radicalized online just like virtually every other mass shooter and assassin in the USA

Here are the _public_ email addresses for the reporters and the standards editor listed on the WSJ site. Standards editor: [email protected] Journalists who wrote the article: [email protected] [email protected] Politely and peacefully demand a retraction and an apology.

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

If you were wondering why the sudden ban wave seemed inconsistent and illogical, that's the reason. The bluesky moderation team essentially ignored their own TOS and instead used rightwing outrage from twitter to decide who to ban. They then sloppily issued a post hoc statement to justify it.

The retaliation against Gretchen Felker-Martin for telling the truth (that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi who doesn't deserve to be mourned) is unacceptable and shameful. @dc.com pulling her book shows their true colors that I've suspected for years: They're a status-quo machine that exists to sell movies.

So @dc.com pulled Red Hood from digital storefronts but you can still buy all of Sandman. The lesson here is that DC doesn't care if you sexually assault women, but don't you dare make fun of a dead fascist.

Hi I’m so serious , I made a video because I think this is REALLY important so I’m subjecting you to my face But this is a critical point and letting the desire to be perceived as good rather than to listen is gonna destroy a lot more than ya think

We shouldn't forget that yesterday the FBI claimed it had its suspect and hours later clarified that they didn't actually have one. Internal chatter in these agencies should not be treated as confirmed facts. Might end up being true, but worth waiting for more info. I would go slow on this one.

Mormons do have an unmatched level of expertise at deciphering words supposedly inscribed in metal but never showing the evidence

You can still pick up issue #1 of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Jeff Spoke's RED HOOD at your local store and because DC has performatively refunded all the issues the every retailer, the profits go directly to the store! A lovely start to what I think would've been a crackerjack noir thriller.

Given the people who run this place are transphobic crypto fascists who kick trans women. Let’s promote Gretchen’s work on here for her. She has a new book out. It looks really cool, you should grab a copy and help her out, and also you’ll get to read a cool book bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

Really curious what Gretchen Felker-Martin actually said, and how it could possibly be worse than the lifetime of hatred that spewed from the person she said it about.

Julius Streicher was *executed* for relentlessly spreading virulent bigotry, not eulogized by every single person with any degree of power with the threat of destitution if you failed to rend your garb sufficiently.

Weapons was very interesting, lot of mixed feelings but the climax was dynamite
