To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

People taking an all-encompassing anti-discourse stance in the TTRPG space are all too often doing a poorly veiled version of "no politics in gaming" BS. It's very easy to disregard discourse when you're comfily couched in a play culture that caters to your own political bedrot. It isn't so for...

I am just so fucking proud of her.

I ain't no fink, but uh... Lone Wanderer, a solo Fallout TTRPG, and Royal Flush, a campaign book for Fallout 2d20 set in the Mojave, might be in development.... check out the news on Fandomentals. 👀👀👀 https://buff.ly/4jSJM8T #Fallout

I don't care if they agree with you, you do not need to boost anything Bill Kristol or David Frum say

We love My Shelfie from Lucky Duck Games so much that @chotoranii.bsky.social wanted to give it another review! www.thefandomentals.com/my-shelfie-b...

One reason that Fall is the best season of the year is that it means it's time to watch Over The Garden Wall. And fans of Patrick McHale's cozy cult classic can now get figures based on the series as part of Mondo's Mondo Squad Series. www.thefandomentals.com/wirt-greg-be...

I’m proud of my Somali heritage, proud of my faith, and beyond proud to be an American. P.S. To the president: no, you can’t impeach a member of Congress 😉

Decadence, decay, a dying world...something about this feels very familiar. Dan talks with @jellymuppet.bsky.social about Doomspiral, a big, crunchy slice of Dark Souls love co-created with @nickspence.bsky.social and artist @dwynartist.bsky.social. www.thefandomentals.com/zachary-cox-...
