a rollercoaster tycoon but for making friends could fix me

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would: Pass gun control Stop demonizing vaccines Fund education and healthcare Punish every single creep in the Epstein files Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Imagining a guy who’s mad that Bad Bunny did the halftime show in Spanish instead of Quenya, the tongue of the high elves of Valinor.

Me...😶

Tapped into a ytmusic playlist of r&b, blues, and jazz songs that are sampled in hiphop.

This is an absolutely delightful story by @slooterman.bsky.social about the older gay hockey fans who love Heated Rivalry. 19thnews.org/2026/02/heat...

BREAKING: The Trump administration repeatedly said the aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. New docs show the real motivation was to get alleged squatters. And the landlord and manager helped them. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

OKAY so I'm not sure how new this update is, BUT IF YOU HAVE INDESIGN: Check Edit -> Preferences. There may be a "Generative AI..." option in that resulting submenu. You have to opt-out of Adobe using generative AI to guess at alt-text (and it puts a "Generated with AI" tag).

In celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design. BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout. Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

LRT, painting examples are by the following artists: Logan Maxwell Hegege, Mark Maggiori, Martin Grelle, Howard Terpning*, Maggiori again (less orange this time)

Bridgerton season 4 (spoilers abound). Ep 1 catch-up.

This is maybe the most bone-dry Chotiner interview I've seen in a while

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Bookmaking & papermaking 2. Film Festival (we put on a film festival) 3. History of pre-renaissance european architecture 4. Science of human & animal sexuality 5. One semester of making platonic solids out of paper

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

the left is winning gun rights and the 2nd amendment in the national divorce

Do not do this. Listen to @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social instead. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

cannot emphasize this enough: listen to podcasts ABOUT right wing media/thought so you get brilliant people pre-debunking it. i'm a demographic at risk to falling prey to that thought and it's not an exaggeration to say that PTI since the reboot, and QAA since i found it have kept me sane.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Nothing says "Trump was a rich NYC democrat" like him posting that.

in solidarity with MN today, please find your closest walk-in freezer and stand in it naked for a few hours

I am not posting it through the Leder Games website, instead going to my personal network to look for candidates I know. We are looking for 1 possibly 2 graphic designers as I build our team for growth. This is not a remote position. Thanks! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

i love clacking on my clacky keyboard.

Some liberals are INSISTENT that there are a bunch of Proud Boys in ICE. Why do folks have to believe this? Because they believe in the bad apples explanation for why ICE operates as it does. It's self-soothing and a fairytale.

Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen

What is hope, if not spite persevering?

at some point, a switch in my mind flipped from "cleaning my kitchen is stressful and overwhelming" to "cleaning my kitchen is satisfying and reduces overall stress", and now i need to locate the rest of those switches.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

"A tattoo on a woman is like putting a bumper sticker on a classic car." If you've never seen an illuminated manuscript, just say so. If you've never gently touched vellum in an act of worship, you can just say that! I was down at the scriptorium and nobody knew your sorry ass!

Surely some PhD candidate out there's already written a paper about how True Crime has parallels with fairytales, right? In that a lot of ppl partake in them as cautionary tales, instructional narratives they listen to on the outside chance they wind up in similar situations, literal or metaphorical

I keep seeing people trying to draw delineations between ICE (bad) and Real Officers of the Law (good) and y'all, there may be some distinctions but every argument ICE is using to justify their murder and destruction came from Real Officers of the Law.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

This is how i find out ..?

so i said it sounds like you're just feeding basements to the bear and the CO started crying

Meal-prepping my way through the nightmares

2026’s refresh rate is wild I go do some chores and like 14 major world events have happened

This year is going to be like the final boss for optimists
