I’ll repost this when it’s not demon hours too, but can I get some links, profiles, etc etc of your fave UK and EU based tabletop accessories? GM screens, dice trays, and so on! 🖤

this was the first rage room

I think the internet has pushed us as a whole to conflate spreading around horrible demoralizing stuff as necessary and important activism but it really does not help anyone besides maybe the people enacting the horrible shit

REMINDER: The next Old Firm match is TOMORROW at 12:00, and is hosted by Rangers

Very weird for Scots and Northern Irish to hear right-wingers going on about sectarianism by the way. "We must stamp out sectarianism!" "Well that's surprisingly progressive of you... Oh, you mean Muslims, not royalist pro-union anti-Catholics. Carry on."

Bear with me if you can as I attempt to use HPV vaccines to demonstrate why many can’t see the danger of RFK Jr. TLDR: Disease prevention takes time and discipline. Not discipline of an individual, but the ability to invest in public health when the benefits may not be immediately clear.

"Be reasonable about this," he says. "Meet me in the middle." "OK," you say. You take a step forward. He takes a step back. "Be reasonable about this," he says. "Meet me in the middle."

what trying to write smut feels like:

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

3am was a perfect time to clean the fridge out, right?

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

You would think that finding out the whole heroin chic waif look and ubiquitous fatshaming of women in the 90's was influenced by a handful of elite pedophiles as both their preference and a way to sex traffick more easily, would have made a bigger splash in the news.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

This is one of my favourite things I've ever written, and it's just me talking about a toy sword. If the Zelda 40th Anniversary has got you in a certain mood, feel free to listen to me blether on about a piece of merch. Making Navi proud n' that.

This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

this strategy of making bigger and bigger productions that require higher and higher ticket prices worked out pretty well for opera's cultural longevity

It’s not like study after study has shown this for decades, there, Anderson

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women." 😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that! "Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate." Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

I really prefer the crafting sites of all this compared to the business side!

The entire AI debate in a nutshell..

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

I think people just look at anything women and girls like as frivolous.

Some new scale mail pieces I’ve worked on.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

the worst human art is still better than any AI art

My "Not involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Seems like a good day to post this again. Print it out. Frame it. Hang it on your wall. Make your comic.

I mean this is exactly what happened with MeToo, for the number of harassers and abusers outed, those punished had to be less than 1%

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

There is a grieving process to admitting people we put on pedestals are flawed. It's okay to be hurt, betrayed. And hey, denial is part of grief. But that denial needs to be dealt with quietly and then overcome or you are pouring salt in the wounds of someone ALREADY in pain.

Not letting people have a permanent license to at least have access to their projects is crazy work. So unnecessary evil

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Want to boost this a little as I've seen folk talking about how Anas Sarwar wants to remove trans women from women's prisons - because in his actual column he makes clear it isn't just prisons. It's everywhere.

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

Solicitor Jonathan Harker starting to wonder if these two months he has spent in an unnatural, horrible net of gloom and mystery encompassed about with terrors that he dare not think of could have been an email.

The classic of the genre, from the British Daily Star: On the left is a picture of, and a leering caption about, the 15 year old singer Charlotte Church On the right, fire and brimstone about the perverts behind Brass Eye, and the "Paedogeddon" episode* corrupting the nation...

Yeah it was pretty clarifying to watch every single media personality explicitly conspire to ruin Britney Spears’ life from the time she was 16 until, yknow, her life was ruined

relevant to many of yalls interests.

...they told her no, didn't they

yeah, so Fallout nailed it
