I cannot believe that this is a member of the President's cabinet. I guess I *can* believe he is a member of this President's cabinet. But under normal administrations, I would not believe it.

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

Dudes are not okay. I couldn't read more than a paragraph before I noped out.

If you see this you have to post an anime opening from 2000-2005. My kids were obsessed with this show. Maybe that just means my wife and I were bad parents? 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiQr...

We always knew there were different rules for different people, but at least they used to have the courtesy to pretend there weren't.

I might not know anything about Minecraft, but I know good comedy when I see it.

The guy who heads the church where they say "Peace be with you" every Sunday being pro-peace is so weird, right?

Why are we standing here, staring at you? Oh, it's probably nothing to worry about.

Just wrapped up Strixhaven, Omens of Chaos. It was nice to read a licensed story that understood its source material but was not slavishly dedicated to it. Good stuff from Ms. McGuire, and hopefully we'll see more "Universes Within" books in the future.

These two posts showing up on the same page in Discover is pure *chef's kiss*

Are you having a tough day? Life getting you down. Negativity filling you up with bile? Have a little soul cleanser.

When I read today's Penny Arcade, I thought, "Surely Gabe and Tycho are exaggerating," but nope. These folks are not beating the "Wealth makes you shitty if you are not careful" allegations. www.king5.com/article/news...

A highly relatable badger

Broadway tickets ain't cheap. Holy crow is this disrepectful.

I understand that I am, without a doubt, 100% the target audience for those mass paperback book-style cover art Magic the Gathering Hobbit cards, and WotC is taking advantage of that nostalgia. And yet, we still wants them, My Precious.

I was taken aback at the number of people in Europe smoking in the outdoor eating areas of restaurants and cafes, after years of it being Just Not Done in the U.S.

Princeton, Trenton, Teaneck

We are governed by the kind of people who thought sending Boxer to the glue factory was the right thing to do.

These Paradigm spells from Strixhaven are garbage for Limited.

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, "Just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean he doesn't understand."

I bounced off _Mort_ the first time I read it, and didn't go back for a long time, until I encountered a young @ajacobs.bsky.social, who relentlessly proselytized for Discworld books until I gave in, and he was right. Mind how you go, Sir Terry.

Post both an iconic blonde AND a movie you’ve watched more than six times using GIFs.

Well worth a read, especially if you like any of the three sides of the triangle listed.

TMW a game of Mad Libs gets out of hand.

It is some post-truth world we've fashioned where the initial reaction from more than just the usual conspiracy kooks to an assassination attempt on POTUS is, "Sure, Jan."

Yes, the leopards ate this woman's face - she supported Trump and wanted France to do what we're doing - but also it is almost 100% that one of her dead husband's sons called immigration on her to get her out of the house, and that is the kind of collaborator shit we need a lot less of.

Finally want to dive into Roadburn 2026, aftera couple days to settle down. First off, it was great. Good layout, nothing more than a 20-minute walk from anything else. Wonderfully curated lineup of metal, jazz, and weirdness. Immaculate vibes, good food. Only real negative was no water stations. 1/

@chrishickey.bsky.social this kind of information seems relevant to your interests.

Another example of how willing we are to punish ourselves as long as other people who "don't deserve" the benefits of living in a society are punished harder.

The Philliest shit imaginable

I spent the last four days at Roadburn. What a festival. Cool bands, good food, everything fairly close to every other thing, vibes were immaculate. I am almost certain to run it back next year. I will probably dive deeper later, but overall, I loved it.

It's a good life, if you don't weaken.

He really thinks we're all stupid, doesn't he?

We used to be a proper country.

honestly I think it would be both hilarious and potentially actually useful to split the "Evangelical converts doing 40K LARP" Catholics from the "been wheeling Granny from hospice to mass since 1997" Catholics

Imagine sucking so badly that people are siding with THE CATHOLIC CHURCH in your kerfuffle.

Ah, yes, straight dudes, a famously underserved population in SF/F over the last century plus.

I know I have some friends who enjoy puzzle games, and some that want games based on different mythologies, so this might find a few adherents.

Cue the right wing dipshits crowing that he's a genius in 3...2...1...

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

They'll always call you a communist for asserting your rights against your betters.

Thus far, their ineptitude has far exceeded their malice, but if that ever changes, I do not like the potentialities.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
