This from a folate researchers is excellent for ASD parents who want to understand the cerebral folate hypothesis, and what studies are underway, and why they should NOT buy the supplements or get a MTHFR test this week: kcklatt.substack.com/p/folate-and...

Look at this smug bigoted assrag Meta really rising this Nazi propaganda wave all the way to pants-staining town

Of course it’s not too little too late what a ridiculous headline Oh no have we run out of X-Men time

Louder for the folks in the back

Trump's UN speech was an international embarrassment…

“This questionable statement reflects a widespread myth in the wellness community concerning an extremely common gene mutation called MTHFR” MOTHERFUCKER! The mutation is called what?

By the way leucovorin is just folinic acid and acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism you absolute trolls en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folinic...

It’s almost 6pm Tuesday here in New Zealand and nobody’s been Raptured

The coverage of today's press conference about autism has been really good. Total clarity on the lack of evidence behind statements.

Tylenol causes the release of the Epstein files

As someone who, in middle age, increasingly finds myself reaching for a word that I can't quite remember, I understand why at 79 he could't quite come up with "rubella" but also maybe don't just riff on vaccine schedules on live TV based off vibes?

THIS. ALL FUCKING DAY.

“Thoughtful conversations with Jimmy” I bet those had Jimmy’s lawyers present too, Disney

Seconding this for anyone who needs to hear it. My last drink was January 9, 2016, and I got a LOT of mileage out of "I picked the wrong year to quit drinking," which was in no small part my Gen X gallows humor getting me through that brutal year. If you need help, reach out. You're not alone.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

I’m convinced they think this will be a new revenue stream for the US govt or a clever tactic to keep American jobs for Americans, a win-win

Hi everyone. Subscribe to The Onion. Thank you.

Y'all, I know there is a lot going on, but if you can jump in, please do. If not, maybe share it around. Mikey is a passionate gaming/art evangelist. He does his best where he can for others.

Also nobody is missing that mega rich media owners like Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch helping their kids buy up media conglomerates like this was the Holy Roman Empire being passed down to the next generation of incompetent assrag kings is a major factor in why we have governments like the USA

Trump seems to think saying Kimmel was “fired because he isn’t very talented” is even remotely a believable response to the questions about the FCC threats by UK reporters I hope the UK media drags him over the freaking coals

If you’re not already following @johnrogers.bsky.social then I highly recommend that you do.

@rationalityrules.bsky.social has some great videos analysing Charlie's debate tactics, and if you've watched enough debates, you'll see how he wasn't able to disguise his debate tactics and fallacies as well as other debaters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O7y...

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Stephen Miller has become America’s — if not the world’s — most powerful unelected bureaucrat. With Trump’s blessing, Miller has been allowed to run and remake the country in a manner unheard of for an official of his rank. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So I’m researching Regency and Napoleonic stuff for a personal TTRPG project of mine and @profbanks.bsky.social suggested I watch Bridgerton so I’m three episodes into S1 and I’m invested

This is the new Kang:

Okay. Kang went from being one of the worst cards in Marvel Snap to one of the best.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s utterly shortsighted and narrow minded conservative government has just declared that Art History will no longer be a subject taught in NZ schools.

Folks in the tabletop RPG space are out here voicing their feelings about Charlie Kirk and how certain publishers have reacted to his death. I hope we are ready to accept that some of his supporters are listening to his detractors and changing their minds about him. Believe in compassion.

Can we all elect a new President of the United States on Discord like Nepal did

It was so good to see the @chaosium.bsky.social team this weekend, alas I was so busy I barely had any time to chat with them!

Wrapped up the convention with an amazing over the top science fiction session of NEVER STOP BLOWING UP featuring thousands of callbacks, inside jokes, and epic action. So ends another Convergence. 🤖

It is amusing to think that 40 years ago we had a nationwide panic to stop kids from playing Satanic RPG's that would warp their mind, when what we should have been doing was hunting down and destroying high school debate clubs with the ferocity of a Butlerian jihad.

Second playtest of GYRO SHOOTER was great! This time I ran a Payload/Convoy style scenario with the squad accompanying a transport out of the alien incursion zone. Note to self: need to go a little harder, they hardly got hurt. 👽

Second day of the Convergence 2025 TTRPG convention, great to see @rustysellsword.com briefly yesterday!

I WON DEATHMATCH ISLAND

Dungeon Trap: Let them Eat Cake. A Room with a big table covered in cakes and tarts and pastries. Doors are locked. Eat a cake, open the door. Cakes are harmless. However every minute you don’t eat a cake, make a saving throw or turn into cake (you stop moving and look the same but now you’re cake)

Excellent summary of the brainrot involved in this event. News outlets need to hire Gen Z/Gen Alpha to translate.

This isn’t freedom.

Just ran my first ever playtest of GYRO SHOOTER! It went really well, the squad took down the Incursion Tower and defeated units of the Code, one of the alien invader species that takes the form of a nanovirus which takes over machines and tech. Such fun. Much to think about.

We’re at Convergence here in Hamilton NZ and our first session of the day was LEGO DnD5e! I played Tordek the Dwarf Cleric. Lots of fun!

“Extremely online” is code for 4chan yes www.theverge.com/politics/777...

This is one of the most hilarious pivots I've ever seen.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

Also true of MUSHes in the 1990s @profbanks.bsky.social

Stephen Miller is right that there’s a growing ideology that seeks to destroy everything that is good and that it leads to violence but he’s wrong about which ideology it is, because he’s deeply and intimately tangled up in it and can’t see anything he doesn’t personality like as having value.

Everyone who does anything to stand with the Trump administration, from Bill Gates on, should be asked how they feel about propping up Stephen Miller as he architects a concentration camp system in America.
