This was my Heated Rivalry

Maybe having religious nutbags who want to trigger world wars in the Middle East to fulfill biblical prophecies in charge of one of the strongest militaries in the world was a bad idea

“The CIA is preparing the next generation of insurgents who will be able to turn their training and equipment against the imperialist Americans at the earliest opportunity.”

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe. www.politico.eu/article/age-...

So one thing we've learned this weekend is that if Bibi Netanyahu dropped a bomb off a bridge, Trump would have to as well.

If you like indie comics, this bundle is a hell of a deal. It includes 4 of our games too. All the publishers are still in court trying to get our product back from Diamond's warehouse as part of their bankruptcy mess. This effort is to help with our legal fees. www.humblebundle.com/books/indie-...

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

"Target's plan to win you back: selling affordable, trendy fashion and furnishings." NOPE. How about "We're extremely sorry we caved on all of our DEI initiatives, proving they were empty of any real values, but we will be restoring them all immediately"? For starters.

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE. Literally, "abolishing." yougov.com/en-us/articl...

The Shamwow Guy, Vince Shlomi, says he is suing the Texas GOP for “rigging” his Texas House race by not including the word “Shamwow” on ballots

To be clear, the President of the United States says the Democratic Party is just like the theocratic leadership of Iran.

What is the New England version of “oh lawd it’s coming!”? I do know you can get there from here though: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lap...

"I guess you could call this a kind of 'forever war' which is a brilliant term that I just invented."

Thread, and a periodic reminder that no matter how cool you think James Doohan is already, he's EVEN COOLER-

Profound thanks to @nathanburgoine.bsky.social for this great summary of everything he's looking forward to from the fourth edition of the Mutants & Masterminds #TTRPG as we head into the final 48 hours of the Kickstarter campaign! (It ends at 1 pm Eastern on 3/5) – plus the bonus art crop (top).

Well, whaddya know … Defiance works.

Another open-book test of spine and moral backbone that will be failed en masse by the people who are supposed to be watchdogs of democracy. You turn down invites from Nazis, kids. It’s the easiest call to make. Imagine if Trump walked into a room empty aside from ten Fox News clowns.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

Laying odds right now that Trump will propose/demand an Iran War monument to his “victory” (once he declares it) and, you know, those troops who died. Not that anything will displace the ballroom and triumphal arch in his gold-plated heart.

This 'commercial research' exception to copyright protection would be a fucking nightmare and you'd better believe promptly copied (har har) every goddamned where. The absolute refusal to stand for humans who make their living from art is just fucking grim.

Shocking behavior from the winner of the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize 🏆

“President Trump is tireless in trying to end the killing sprees he began in order to take credit for both stopping and starting them.”

“Ah,” says the witch, “but portending doom … for whom?”

PAY. THE. WRITERS! writerbeware.blog/2026/02/20/a...

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

An imminent threat was imminently imminent.

Refurbished our enormous article/tool about not-conversions between the #DCHeroes and #MutantsAndMasterminds #TTRPG. That this highly technical document gets so much traffic suggests that people *are* turning DCH writeups into M&M ones. Which is neat. It's like impact journalism, but with RPGs.

Remember what I said about how, when Trump is flailing, they start inserting a fake, fictional Trump into their stories, who is acting rationally and sanely?

We're less than $4000 from our $250K stretch goal of unlocking the second adventure in the new "Freedom City Discord" series for Mutants & Masterminds fourth edition! Can we make it to $300K and all stretch goals unlocked by campaign's end this Thursday afternoon? We can with your help!

All of these things are correct and can help the wealthy to avoid the fate of Louis XVI.

He's right. "Sadly there will likely be more" deaths "before it ends. Likely be more" soldiers, civilians, anybody but the monied members of the Epstein class, dying because of their agenda, because, so long as Donald Trump is President, "That's the way it is."

JFC you guys — do better. He literally shrugged and said “…that’s the way it is…”

SCIF now stands for “Some Curtains In Front”

Board of Peace - Season 1

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

I bet you didn't know that Charlie Kirk was a "Hero in American Education" – I sure as fuck didn't.

“The Measure of a Bitch”

Susan Collins Concern Status: ELEVATED

Events like Gen Con owe their community an explanation of how they intend to ensure the safety of convention-goers who may be targeted due to national origin, racial profiling, or “gender policing” in a state like Indianapolis, while justifying their continued presence in such an unwelcoming state.

“War is Peace (Prize)”

What a fucking embarrassment to be Marco Rubio. Can you imagine having so little self-respect? This is “human ash tray” territory.

Open Hearth Gaming ( @openhearthrpg.bsky.social ) touched on it in their latest episode of Around the Hearth: Roll For Origin and I was very intrigued. Worth a listen share.transistor.fm/s/bdc6a376
