I’ve not seen the full Dandan Secret Lair. I don’t really care if I get credit or anything from it. Rhystic Studies and informed players know its origins. I just hope I’ll be able to own a copy of the official release and not have them sell out to scalpers and stuff like I’ve heard can be a problem.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

I....I don't know how to deal with the fact that there are people in academia, law enforcement and media who are apparently just discovering what an "edgelord" is. Like they haven't been covering them or dealing with them for 15 years. Or at *least* 10.

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation

I really wish more people on the left side of things actively enjoyed playing team sports. There's a whole buncha things that really should be happening in governing/resistance/mutual support that could use sports-based practice and its really clear we don't have it.

Because you can't fake coffee prices going down in a population that drinks it as much as the US does.

Everybody be proud of me -I almost engaged with middle aged virtue posting on Facebook, realized I don't know the human-based rituals there anymore & deleted it. But if anyone sees a 'splainer for middle aged women to send out to each other saying Starship Troopers is a short story I find it sus

The right's undeniable advantage is understanding that propaganda works.

Hey will, advice from the lawyers guild here that may prove useful to people with left wing views over the coming weeks, can you repost and boost it please? ccrjustice.org/if-agent-kno...

Some news organizations have dared report the views that made Kirk famous. The hagiographers can’t even mention those views out loud, because they make clear he greatly contributed to the politics of rage, conspiracy, and violence that may have ultimately ended his life.

Call me crazy but I don’t love the idea of them controlling ways to escape.

I really need folk to understand that perimenopause is real but doesn't last 15 years and is just the medical communities' new "hysteria" and "wandering womb". Insist on blood work and scans anyway but ESPECIALLY if you are under 45 with no family history of early menopause.

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that

YES MORE OF THIS PLEASE

Also this is underselling it, because for instance in one of these polls he's winning Jews by 17 points (great!) but among Jews under 45 he is winning by 56 POINTS.

Hands off my Booty #JLMart Hand inked then digitally colored.

Where the hell do I find a community where people actually LIKE each other. WTF ya'll ...

There are Four Lights! @revisedangel.bsky.social

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”: ‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing’

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

This emphasis on universes, real universes and imaginary universes, being a disgrace to all universes, it comes from a Magic the Gathering subreddit from 2022.

The funniest thing about how absolute dogshit journalists are at their job, is that when you see a chatbot regurgitate strange sounding phrases the *only way it could do so* is by having stolen them from somewhere. Searching for those weird phrases, yields the source the chatbot stole.

Couple of new NGOs in Gaza you might know about. Vetted through people I trust: www.thechildrensvillagegaza.org

the same thing is true for all of them. looking at something and saying "that's stupid, that'll only hurt them" is missing their goal. they are smart and evil and the sooner we accept that all available evidence supports the hypothesis that they're cartoon supervillains, the better.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

Obviously yes you should read Andrea Long Chu’s latest for all the usual reasons (thrillingly blistering assessment of worthy target) — but these two somewhat standalone paragraphs exploring the true nature of American free speech left me absolutely gobsmacked www.vulture.com/article/post...

Trump only got 56% of the vote in Texas this last election. Romney got 57% GWBush got 59% and 61% Reagan got 63% in 1984 Nixon got 66% in 1972 LBJ got 63% in 1964 FDR got 88%, 87%, 80%, 71% In the Solid South era, Dems routinely did >70%. None demanded the prize that Our Special Boy wants

Party establishment failing to meet the moment ever since Nixon.

After the Musk incident, some left-of-center donors said they’d stop giving as long as ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt remained in place. “Most of the past and present regional leadership and donors no longer have confidence in Jonathan,” one million-dollar donor wrote in a letter I reviewed. (2/x)

I see they are getting ready for an even bigger eugenic set of policies

i just found out that if you want to look at a titty in the UK now you have to send a selfie to the king first

One of the most dangerous tropes in political media is how the only Jewish voices that matter are the most right-wing ones, hence the ease with which reporters assumed Jews are scared of Mamdani. (This is also how Jewish protestors were erased from the discourse about antisemitism on campuses.)

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

In the world of A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES, data can be borrowed, shared, and stolen, for a price. As we get closer to the Canarviers’ grand heist, I am sharing some snippets that mean a lot to me. The thieves arrive September 30th! www.penguinrandomhou... #aphilosophyofthieves

Never forgive men for treating programming as a meaningless thing your secretary did while women were inventing and developing the field, then, once they realized it was going to be important, shoving women out of it and claiming only Male Logic Brains could perform it.

Do not fear that I abandoned nerdery in the last 4 years for while I am attempting to garden and was convinced to start a business I was still playtesting a tabletop RPG & did learn how to use discord a little bit. Its still not safe to play MtG without masking but I trust my masks more nowadays

So on a completely different dystopia: I haven't been able to play Magic the Gathering with live people for 4 years, Phyrexia isn't any of the things I like, and every single PW I cared about got killed, maimed, heelturned or desparked. But I miss Magic & Edge looked like a good place to reenter

So.... the Di Caprio story seemed weird - so I looked it up to verify it - DiCaprio staked some friends 10% in 2018 and Israel took 7 years to approve the project. The investment predates about 4 failed governments that Netanyahu kept bringing to collapse then chose genocide to break the cycle.

Let's be clear about what's happening here: "Gets hassled" is a euphemism "gets detained under threat of armed force by secret police"

Buying redemption w/ eels wasn't just a medieval English thing. Oh, no! In 1500 the Duke of Ferarra wanted nuns in Florence to pray for him. But that kinda thing ain't free, & to get his prayers the duke had to make regular payments of eels to the sisters. Soul food, y'all. 🗃️🧪

I wrote a short news piece for Hipsters on it this morning, but because our preference for news articles is to provide facts and context I didn't provide too much editorial. We want people to know the difference. And I didn't want anyone to misconstrue financial advice. But I do have opinions...

A short discussion on Hasbro's Q2 earnings, because you should hear it from someone who's been covering this for a long time, not some random redditor who has no idea what a goodwill impairment is. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/07/fina...

I’ve come to believe that making genocide a legal framework has allowed the intellectual class to distract people from the morality of things like “children starving to death” and “people being slaughtered at aid distribution site” and instead engage in endless legal nitpicking

New, from me: until recently the big question was “what happens when Trump defies the courts?” The answer, as it turns out, is that SCOTUS will support him. The new question is what are the consequences for American democracy and governance?🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-youre...

All right - this is just randomly on my feed and I'll deep dive why and what it is later- but this describes the thing I've beeen trying to say since reality-TV "voting" shows and Web 2.0 flooded western culture. Its so much more succinct than I ever managed.
