Speaking of Tylenol…

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The UN doesn't strike me as the most appropriate venue for an open mic night. **looks off camera** I'm sorry, what? It wasn't... so he just... he just did that... Oh no.

During yesterday's #DnD game, our party encountered a young copper dragon. As soon as the DM mentioned it, I perked up and dashed to my board game shelf. At long last, I was able to use the model that @goblintwig.bsky.social commission painted for me two years ago.

So the Pentagon wants to limit what reporters can report on, even if it's unclassified. Do Trumpelstiltskins not actually know what freedom of speech and expression are?

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

¡Viva Mexico!

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I and several members of my family can now be legally racially profiled (and possibly detained due to that profiling) by ICE thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling. I'm not exaggerating. I can't even be snarky about this. I hope everyone who's reading this is outraged & not just for my behalf.

RFK Jr. Warns Mistress That Condoms Cause Autism

Fucking horrific to watch the governor, who is not an investigator, emerging every six hours to give live updates on whether or not the shooter was trans enough to murder your neighbors in revenge

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Is it just me, or does this look like Highlander-era Christopher Lambert is playing Geralt of Rivia?

Found some AI "art" in the discover feed, which led me to a hashtag and me creating my first blocklist: bsky.app/profile/rave... I'll just browse hashtags occasionally to add to this, if anyone wants to mass block AI slop makers.

“I miss when Disney didn’t push an agenda!” 😁 Disney in 1943: GET VACCINATED!

From The Archives: Trump Teeters On White House Ledge Weighing Pros And Cons Of Killing Self Right Now To Distract From McCain’s Funeral

I'm going to make up for my long radio silence by posting some #GenCon2025 musings randomly* during the week, for all half-dozen of you #TTGaming geeks who engage with my posts. (*randomly = "whenever I remember") #TTGames #TabletopGames

“INTRUDER INTRUDER WE HAVE BREACH ON THE ROOF OF THE EAST WING” “This is Team Lead say again do you have visual confirmation” “AFFIRMATIVE WE HAVE INTRUDER IT LOOKS LIKE … DOES GRITTY WEAR A SUIT? I THINK IT MAY BE GRITTY” “Stand down that is Mushroom, Mushroom is on the roof, all clear.”

There is so much failure on display in this one incredibly stupid move by XBox.

Overhead in the #GenCon2025 dealer hall: "They are people in *suits*; they're here to do a *job*!" Spoke by a woman likely in her mid-20s, dragging away someone likely the same age, while utilizing a tone of voice & facial expressions normally reserved for a particularly stubborn child.

Proof of life from #GenCon2025 in the form of a double selfie. More later.

ANGELA LANSBURY: *doing crossword* a group of crows ME: murder ANGELA LANSBURY: *writing* thanks

First game of #RebirthBoardGame with the wife and in-laws in the bag. Excellent, excellent game by @mightyboards.bsky.social!

Andy is taking on more Challengers! This weekend Andy is in Ohio meeting with folks who have challenged him to a game of Homeworlds for chance to win a medal: April 18 at 7-8pm The EldritchBazaar Columbiana April 19 4-5pm Woodburn Games Cincinnatti If you're nearby, come say hi!

@greaterthangames.bsky.social has been shuttered due to the tariff bullshit. Once again, dive into a septic tank if you voted for this.

You could use the Declaration of Independence like a checklist for evil shit Trump’s administration has done.

We don’t live in a “free country” if your government can kidnap you, ship you to a torture prison and ignore court orders to bring you home. Congratulations MAGA, you got your dictatorship. Historically, this has never ended well.

I’ll state it again: the main target for voter suppression is married women. Republican men talk about it All.The.Time.

remember: they're doing this, and doing it *very badly* (like literally using ChatGPT and Signal-bad) bc WE. ARE. WINNING. and they're doing EVERYTHING in their power to try to retain control. we call the shots. they don't. steady, friends. they're playing a stupid game and are about to lose, hard.

If you already don't know…

What the ever-loving FUCK is wrong with us? Why are we accepting this!?

You wouldn't know these countries. They all live in Canada.

How many hundreds of times has the law been broken by this admin in less than 90 days? Arrests are the only reasonable option and anyone arguing for less is either complicit or delusional.

What a summary of the anti-trans movement: March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000

This explains too much, and the answers do not provide any relief.

. . . *sigh* Again I ask; how can their still be Trumpelstiltskins in the tabletop gaming industry while he's doing stupid shit like this!?

We are proud to announce we will be sponsoring and vending at Faeble Faire 2025 running from August 29th-September 1st. Join us at Faeble's first event for 4 days of questing, storytelling, and roleplay in the world of this LARP. #verillas #larp #faeblelarp #larping #fantasy #gametime

Awesome news! Our friend Andy Looney will be hanging out with us at the Social on Saturday! He will be playtesting some prototypes, and playing Homeworlds with anyone who dares challenge him! 🤩 @looneylabs.bsky.social #flgs #boardgamesky #boardgames www.gamesandstuffonline.com/products/boa...

I honestly can't fathom the mental gymnastics needed to be part of the tabletop gaming industry while being a ride-or-die Trump supporter with all these tariffs. And yet somehow these people exist. I've been into RPGs since the days of THAC0, and my imagination is just baffled by this reality.

Lots of talk about trade deficits and groceries, not a lotta talk about how much of our money goes overseas towards non-union, poorly-paid *labor.* Call centers, garment workers, tech assembly... the list goes on.
