he doesn't fucking miss

Is All-American Rejects a little too on the nose or

When you’re reading a KS #ttrpg game and you realize they have an elegant solve to the dice system you’ve been hacking at for a year ... tons of great design, cool vibes (the apocalypse happened and it was directed by Dario Argento and vintage Sam Raimi) and solid writing. Well worth checking out.

It’s masquerading as a bipartisan event of prayer, when really it is about Christian nationalism and power - which those who are part of the Fellowship, the organisation behind the NPB, feel like they have a birthright to. @jeffsharlet.bsky.social went undercover in the early 2000s - read his book.

this regime is unrelentingly evil

We have now shipped 432,367 whistles all across the country. 135,000 in February alone. And we could not have done it without y'all. The Pancake Priestess made you a thank you note. 💓 Get whistles > linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

"bodies"

But guys, if we shut down the Department of Homeland Security that also means shutting down the roaming terror squads AND airport security theater AND the orphan-grinding machine. Did you think about any of that? Did you?

Please for the love of god how do we remove this man from office.

It was only ever Vought

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Masks off: GOP FEC Commissioner Trey Trainor, who is now running for Congress, admits he “protected” Donald Trump from campaign finance investigations out of “loyalty” x.com/baylisswagne...

I left my all-consuming MtG habit in the past but that doesn't mean I'm not goingt to promote this excellent fundraiser!

Working in 2026 is sending an email to your client that you are an hour late delivering something because you had to figure out what to do with the running, unlocked car sitting in the middle of the street after the ethnic cleansing squad kidnapped somebody.

Again, it’s worth thinking through how this would work, if only for the comedic value. You need to assume that it’s possible to get people on the voter rolls even if they are not eligible to vote. If this were possible, why not just invent a fictitious person?

Far too many ICE agents are lawless, cruel and despicable bullies.

Amid the debate about whether bodycams do or do not add to accountability, @unraveledpress.com just IDed a particularly abuse CBP officer, Michael Sveum, by matching his phone lock screen, as seen in bodycam, to a 2021 tweet. 🤣 unraveledpress.com/identified-t...

unraveled is *two* people, doing work that much bigger newsrooms aren't

People are going to have to drag the democrats to the right place on immigration and ICE just like they had to drag them to the right place on opposing the Iraq war and impeaching Trump. It’s fucking exhausting to have a party that refuses to do the right thing right away,

Even the winners in late stage capitalism aren’t enjoying late stage capitalism.

Now, more than ever, we must remember the cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.

How we feel reaching 1,000 backers! Thank you all! Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Musical now funding on Kickstarter! 🎶🔪🐦‍⬛ 📸: Joe Stribling on film kickstarter.com/projects/shi... #poeparty #poepartymusical #shipwreckedcomedy #kickstarter

The left Joe Rogan is Hasan Piker but establishment Dems hate him. There is no centrist Joe Rogan because it is impossible to be a centrist and build a slavish political fanbase because you stand for nothing, not even something atrocious.

For my animation friends: Here's a thoughtful list of Adobe Animate alternative program pros & cons from an experienced show TD who knows her shit (I have worked with her and can attest to her expansive knowledge, capability and insight).

Anyway, for those who are intrigued by wealthy failcouples getting into farming: I did a whole video on how the Neelemans can't even get beef right. And beef is a LOT easier than raw dairy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLZU...

"Successful anti-authoritarian movements do not win by softening their positions. They win by building unlikely coalitions around a broadly resonant grievance." Like, say, corruption. Or, unchecked corporate power.

Why do comic creators self-promote all the time? Because we have to. Even working with a publisher that's supportive, press only goes so far. The rest of the success falls on the shoulder of the creator rallying their fanbase. So here's mine. I'll RP yours. www.kickstarter.com/projects/whi...

DOJ didn’t forget to redact this one.

The last time I saw my grandmother, she told me "men were changing their gender to win at women's sports" so I guess I better send her this! I'm sure it'll change her mind!

"The other iron law of reactionary centrism...is that only the left and liberals really have agency. The right just reacts – everything is always backlash, never a self-generated political project." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tooting the horn again, but I wrote a whole book about this. Tom Homan has been promising this.

A thing that is funny about the moral grandstanding by Repubs re: Christopher Columbus is that nobody knew or cared about him 100 years ago. His "holiday" is barely 50 years old and was pushed through by Italian-American lobby groups in response to...anti-immigrant prejudice.

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

Scenes from a personalist regime: the president speaks directly with the security agents expected to generate a justification for his taking control over elections

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down. They should be reminded of it. Often.

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

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...

This is how wicked people think

I live in Iowa so if you wanna see a cow up close, you have plenty of opportunities to do so. And when you do you understand exactly why pasteurization is an essential, life-saving process.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

One problem with billionaires is that they're so rich they no longer have rational incentives. To someone like Bezos, the financial performance of WaPo is wholly irrelevant, and so the only "incentive" is to satisfy emotional urges, such as breaking something just to show he can.

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

with the Washington Post firings I'll redirect you again to the piece I wrote last year for Dame Magazine:

this is literally the critique of crypto that was offered when it was launched, so please, fuck off into the sun

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

The target boycott is pretty much the dream outcome of the corporate activism that’s been targeting Wal-Mart for decades now.

*Drank raw milk in pregnancy* Good lord. You have MAHA demonizing vaccines and Tylenol when they love them some raw milk, and this is the shit that's actually dangerous.

Someone with time and talent should write about how solar panels, wind farms, and batteries have probably saved Texas from a winter or summer blackout maybe three times since the infamous TX Freeze of 2021. You can plainly see the daily power curves which would have broken without them.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.
