I'm gonna be real honest: as a Taiwanese-American Michigander, this is giving me pause. No candidate is perfect, but I find Piker's views on Taiwan abhorrent and I'd need El-Sayed to disavow those.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

*BLINKS* oh. I am actually interested now.

Today in monster of the week, the team investigated the missing brother of one of their allies (the Celebrity has a collection of five teenagers following her around) and it led them to a camp where dude bro fraternity types are being transformed into orcs.... #monsteroftheweek #ttrpg #tolkien

@shawnlenore.bsky.social Side note regarding to the keep things secret. In my Divine Blood setting the supernatural keeps secret despite being close to if not more than 1% of the population because the vast majority are just normal people not doing anything particularly dangerous.

Ginger has some real words of wisdom in the last speech bubble of today's page.

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

Another example where I just assumed/thought/read the vaccine rollbacks were a done deal BUT NO. They were illegal, immediately challenged in court, and overturned today. Keep suing and don't believe any of it.

So, if I'm reading the chatter on the #oscars correctly... The Academy interrupted the acceptance speeches for both KPDH wins and the media has been focused on how many nominations Sinners lost rather than how many it won? Aren't movie people supposed to be good at optics?

the more i talk about it, the more i read other people discussing it, the more i think the pronoun issue is an unbridgeable gap in queer experience. and that would be okay if that weren't one of the main ways in which cis ppl have to interact with transness

Here’s something you might know: when you’re stressed out and short on time, you tend to create garbage. Here’s something you may not know: making that garbage will help you be a better artist. #2rulerecovery #writers #artists #creatives #getunblocked youtube.com/shorts/oJ1ux...

And that's a wrap for week 1 of directing and starring in my first feature film! Whatever you think it is...I assure you, it's *not* I'm really enjoying the process, but just like I enjoy playing, I prefer DMing....acting is great, but this Directing thing is my new great love!

Please help out Juno. She is extremely lovely and extremely smart and you owe it to yourself to read her stuff and then tip her

Read this thread & the underlying one by @eliasisquith.blog. They get at something really important about the sociology of today's economically-collapsing journalism industry. My tl;dr takeaway is that to save democracy from MAGA authoritarianism, we need LOTS more local journalism written by locals

Throw back to how much commitment my friends and I put into playing this game when it was still in its draft form. So excited to get to play it someday in its proper glory 🧙‍♂️

It’s impossible to convey how important Our Bodies Ourselves was to the generations of women before the internet. Monumental, positive impact for American women.

This. Gen AI is actually very very bad for innovation as most, if not all "discovery" emerges from constraints and collabs. Almost every marvelous medical treatment or tech emerged because a group of curious weirdos kept trying something weird, often for shits and giggles. #ScienceSky 🧪

One of the many, many things genAI destroys is human collaboration. It actively creates loners, guys spinning off into the deep end with literally no one around them to go "hey what the fuck are you talking about" or "hey this sounds like the thing I've been working on" or "check out this book"

Covid is still an active pandemic that the majority of people across the globe have chosen to pretend away. So no, there will be no one learning from the early days to better respond to the next pandemic. If you’re not masking, it’s never too late to protect yourself and others 😷

Parton is a perfect example of why there are no good billionaires. She seems like a normal well adjusted human being who cares about other people, so naturally when her net worth crossed into the range of billions she donated so much of it to various causes that she stopped being a billionaire.

Going to hell for laughing at this... 😂🤣 RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. 🙌🕊️

If a Friday the 13th movie ever wants to kill me, I'll probably do it for free.

Police identified the suspect in a mass shooting in Austin, Texas. Officials are investigating whether the shooting was linked to terrorism.

#Booksky, if you're looking for a cozy urban fantasy with a touch of horrormance, my novel, FALLEN DESTINY, is now available: mybook.to/FallenDestiny 😈 Kirkus Reviews gave FALLEN DESTINY a GET IT verdict!! It's also been nominated for a 2026 Small Spec Book Awards in the fantasy category.

God damn, these people have never had a real struggle in their life.

couple statements so my beliefs are clear: - if you decide you’re trans, then you’re trans. - neopronouns & xenogenders are hella cool. - everyone should be able to get HRT if they want. - you don’t need to medically transition or have dysphoria to be trans. - liberation not assimilation.

Still no statement from @repbradsherman.bsky.social on the attack in Iran and deaths of dozens of school children. Let's go to his office and get a look at his thought process...

Gosh make Olivia talk about music?

Next time a white guy pretends that Buddhism is all love-and-light spirituality that is magically free of normal religion things like "consumerism" and "hypocrisy" I'm just gonna show them the fact that they made an image of their spiritual leader spiritually starving and COVERED IT IN GOLD.
