It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

This should be the largest opening headline of every news publication in the world right now.

At this rate making a list of Republican politicians who aren't pedophiles would be faster

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

I just for the life of me can't figure out why a large chunk of people are inherently hostile to new technology shaped by companies that actively support an anti-science, anti-humanist mass murder autocracy

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

I wonder what will happen if/when a critical mass realize it isn't the immigrants stealing everyone’s cookies. Historically, that looked like pitchforks. But Fox “News” has done a very good job keeping that at bay. At least for now.

I think Ghost just released the perfect #music video for Valentine's Day. youtu.be/0RkJrO4kvHU?...

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Explore Rooms isn't just a good #TTRPG for kids. (Though I can attest it is because I've used it to play games with my kids.) It's also a useful framework for running RPGs in general. Looking forward using these expansions with my youngest.

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES. We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker. Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Bad Bunny https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-bad-bunny/

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I suppose the standard thought process for planning the opening ceremonies for any Olympic Games is to start by asking "how do I take something that my country is known for and make it look really cool to a person who's high as fuck?"

New #music from Rabbit Junk today! A bit different sounding from their usual stuff, but still very rabbit-junky. rabbitjunk.bandcamp.com/track/blackl...

This is a whole lot of good #music for fans of #TTRPG s and people who enjoy psychedelic rock alike.

Portland today.

Some heroes do wear capes afterall...

Found this in the wilds (our local library) today. Copyright 2023 on the title page. I've got mixed feelings about this. (Also, Eric the Cavalier is conspicuously missing from the cover.)

If my country needs me, I shall answer the call

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

We can stay angry and focused on the war, while celebrating the small victories along the way. Bovino leaving MN means the regime realizes they have to at least pretend to change strategies. An advantage that needs to be pressed is still an advantage gained. #AbolishICE #ProsecuteTheRegime

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

If you think you understand what it means to stand up to facsism, you should probably watch/listen to this. youtu.be/u8hLr3ORLBc?...

I've found Explore Rooms / Roomino to be a great framework for running #ttrpgs with young kids. This follow up should be worth looking in to.

Not only should ICE be entirely defunded, but every employee should be criminally prosecuted, along with everyone in a leadership position at DHS and in the White House who enabled their campaign of domestic terrorism.

It is hard for me not to regard the failure to recognize that the AI boom is inextricable from totalitarian creep as willful ignorance, as either the delusions of those who believe they are immune or an endorsement that doesn’t require a vulgar red cap. But AI boosterism is Trumpism now. Full stop.

Stop scrolling past and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Signal boosting for everyone outside of MN who isnt aware of how the state is being terrorized by a masked partisan militia in uniform.

The murder of Renee Good —& the way the Administration is smearing her —is reminiscent of the murder of Viola Liuzzo, a white Detroit mother killed by the KKK while driving marchers home after the Selma to Montgomery march. The FBI had an informant in the Klan car. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ds...

I agree with this take on why DHS released an ICE agent's cell phone video of Renee Good's last moments.

Given the kind of people ICE has been recruiting, it was only a matter of time before someone was killed. Now the feds are running a classic DARVO play Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender to deflect responsibility and portray themselves as the victims. Straight from the authoritarian playbook🇺🇸

So the US taxpayer will spend billions of dollars to make the Venezuelan regime even more repressive so that it can protect American oil companies who won’t actually do anything except themselves receive billions more dollars of taxpayer subsidies. MAGA

They say it's not "regime change," but they changed the regime. They say it's not "war," but they bombed the country, killed scores of people and have imposed a blockade, which is an act of war. They say they acted because of drugs, but the main drug they're focused on is oil. It's 100% gaslighting.

Half-baked idea for a #TTRPG setting/campaign: The World of the Dragon Mother. The number one god worshiped by all religions in this world is Tiamat. Not necessarily the five-headed D&D version of Tiamat, as none of the various religions agree on Tiamat's exact form and number of heads. (More...)

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Pay attention to the Jack Smith testimony and Epstein files releases, not the military distractions:

May we all live in less interesting times in 2026!

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, Like Tiny Tim, who did NOT die

Hey @jackguignol.bsky.social, I think this recent episode of the Hot Ones with Insane Clown Posse and GWAR has some serious Planet Motherfucker energy. Wouldn't you say? youtu.be/fei-mMwVY3Y?...

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

I feel a bit foolish for not realizing this sooner, but the book, Monstrous by @mapcrow.bsky.social is really great for generating new myths (and their omens) for the #ttrpg Mythic Bastionland by @bastionland.bsky.social. For example, these Inspiration spreads.

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.

Think about what kind of unhinged maniac would post this. Think about that person actually being President of the United States.
