I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

I really think that the best way to stop an intellectually anemic stylistically milquetoast bad-faith paycheck troll from winning is to stop turning every quarter-assed essay he publishes into the quote-tweet Super Bowl, but by all means, keep fighting your battle as you see fit

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Get ready for the premiere of Afterlight on podcast, join us in the nostalgia of the Wayback Machine on Twitch, and head on over to Patreon to see a new studio tour that will drop Monday Nov 17!

Oh my goooshh.. a NEW STUDIO?! Some content scheduling updates as we approach PAX and get our awesome new space set up for filming! We are so excited to show you our new space and end off 2025 with a bang.

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

how did i get all the promo stuff i needed on time for pax unplugged? easy! when i realized it was too late to get stuff in time for gencon i ordered it anyway so it would be here for pax 😅

The Epstein saga is the biggest political cover-up in modern history.

knowing all this shit was going on behind the scenes makes the hillary clinton email scandal that much more stupid

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

going to paxu to drag grace around to dim sum places and random parties

going to paxu for the dim sum spots and the clubs and to hang in the Airbnb with my friends 😍😍😍 yipppeeeee!! >>>>

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

should i bring my mills’d stamp back to paxu? i also have other stamps now for unprepared casters + critical lit

call me whatever you want but if you’re holding a lav mic as a handheld an inch from your mouth you get ONE free plosive blowout before i scroll with prejudice

Just by sheer chance we are always exactly one vote short of doing good stuff, and one vote over the line to do bad stuff.

Your favorite RPG freelancers and many indie devs are, in America at last, allowed to have this job because of the ACA. Your games will get worse if it's killed. The brain drain will be immense.

fun and normal forest!!!

the thing i keep coming back to is that at the end of the day, the people campaigning on explicitly opposing trump are just not doing that, and often actively acquiescing, so it only makes sense for voters to choose alternatives

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

We are being led by absolute cowards

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

i suspect there’s some truth to this and also why we should be EXTREMELY skeptical that senate dems as currently constituted would ditch the filibuster should they ever have a trifecta again

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Keep talking about Sudan.

if the “no iphones for villains” thing is still true it’s very funny that gideon righteous gemstones has one

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

having a lot of fun on skycards with the exception that the battles have not been very evenly matched for me :/

what’s important is that you’re learning and growing 🤍

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

reaaaaally excited for the super normal and well-adjusted character i’ve brought to this chill and relaxed campaign

lol that one of my coworkers warned me that they had news that would ruin my weekend and i got to tell them it was a different 200yr old farmers almanac and not the one we know and love

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

i thought this was about the OLD farmers almanac and it nearly ruined my day 😭

FYI I’m especially keen these days to talk to: - folks who were at the D&D Live events 2017-19 - AP creators pre-2010(ish) - AP creators who do/have done charity events - any game designer or AP creator with Shakespearean or pre-1800 projects (existing or any stage of development)
