Buster Keaton didn't do whatever the fuck this shit is so you can tell me AI is inevitable.

Part 2 of Space Patrol is ready for your listening pleasure! This is the second installment of our SWN Podcast Round Up; we are joined once again by our friends at 7th Star to the Right and @darkstaradventures.com #ttrpg #actualplaypodcast #scifi #swn

The way crime is reported-often that it is reported at all-is an integral part of why we have the pathological emphasis on policing & retribution in the US justice system that we do. People simply are not going to believe statistics when they can hear about a new horrible crime every waking moment.

A small but dedicated band is keeping tabs on taskforce agents – here’s what the activist monitors have to say

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.

Always here for more Luddite love

it is really, really important to remember that this is what the Democratic party represents and the fact that they're better than fascism is literally their only selling point.

Forgot to share this one on Bluesky earlier this week! The amazingly generous @criticalhitcookies.bsky.social has donated a $50 gift card that you can win if you donate to our @translifeline.org team at give.translifeline.org/PAtM. (Raffle details in the image)

Today they released opinions, which is when they normally do and then the blockbusters generally come on the last day. But the black Buster JERRYMANDERINNG opinion came early. EARLY ENOUGH TO AFFECT TENNESSEE, LOUISIANA, AND ALABAMA. THE SUPREME COURT IS POLITICAL AND AN ARM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

It's finally here! This week kicks off our massive #SWN Podcast Round Up with special one shots and guest swaps on all 3 pod feeds from @darkstaradventures.com and 7th Star to the Right! We also had an extra special bonus guest form our besties @hightechlowlife.bsky.social #actualplaypodcast #ttrpg

And so it begins! These bad boys (plus a whole bouquet of garden herbs) are destined for the summer's first batch of cucumber gazpacho

This is really really good and deserves a lot more eyes on it. Also M*A*S*H is an eternal gem of the human experience.

This is the best thread on this site. You're welcome.

Norwegians shooting at a dog from a helicopter: <Don't go near that dog! It's been infested by an alien monster!> Me, who understands Norwegian perfectly, with my arms spread wide: "Who's a good boy! Come here good boy!"

I hope you like montages because we for sure did one this week. Also it's very funny and has at least three bits that could have been full on mini-arcs of their own #swn #actualplaypodcast #scifi #ttrpg

It really does too. No spoilers, but they stick the landing on this one

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

Aw man, not Uncle Baby Billy!

absolutely psychotic quotes from Republican lawmakers arguing for child marriage

You owe yourself a good chuckle today

"The plan is to kill off publicly funded academic science in this country." Correct. And that means killing off the whole US science and innovation industry. Because it's all built on a foundation of basic research—which. can. only. be. funded. by. public. dollars.

This is what community looks like. This is what Jesus would do. I’m honored to be a part of this.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

So anyway, I finished my second reading of the entire Lockwood & Co series and my main takeaway is I should just read it again right now. That's a totally healthy reaction, right?

No but why is the best gym compliment a random gal with a great tattoo asking if you've ever thought about playing rugby?

How hard is it to understand that we want people to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of fucking happiness?

CB out here acting like seeing a gargantuan interdimensional being made of not-light tentacles every time a bad thing happens is traumatizing or whatever #podcast #actualplay #actualplaypodcast #scifi #swn #ttrpg

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

Time for a little after care after last week's high drama. Also we gotta try to fix that whole "stranded in a long forgotten sector with a dwindling food supply and no way to leave" thing #scifi #actualplaypodcast #swn #ttrpg #podcast

Oh damn, look who decided to hop on the HTLL train with the rest of us! Our very own @stardaddy.bsky.social guests this week and next for some Westworld chat. Better tune in or you'll miss the debut of his new character voice: Giant Nerd

My ancestors worked hard to build a world where I didn't have to be a closed system! Where I could depend on a pharmacist and an optometrist and a cobbler! STOP TRYING TO TAKE EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT AWAY SO YOU CAN FEEL CLOSER TO GOD, YOU PIOUS ASSFACE.

This is possibly the most epic episode we have ever recorded. Seriously, this one is so good, you guys #swn #ttrpg #podcast #actualplay #scifi

Reflecting on the many crimes of Netflix and I can now definitively say that canceling Lockwood & Co after one season is at least 80% of that list. I don't want Temu Regency cosplay with cringe sex scenes, I want over-serious teenagers making eyes at each other while fighting ghosts, damnit!

the party of "a whole civilization will die tonight" fake-rending their garments over violent rhetoric is funnier than the entire history of saturday night live

I am very knowledgeable about cat breeds.

Obvs conspiracy theories are bad but also, what if all the people who would usually fawn over Trump thought he staged it to boost his polls for midterms? Like, WE all know that's dumb but just, imagine if the most conspiracy brained voters in history thought their messiah was bullshitting them?

why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!

We're back! Did you miss us? This week we've got the answer to the big question: How did the Ophanum hitch a ride on the Irish Goodbye? #scifi #actualplay #swn #podcast

This week we've got a bloody one for ya. The Machine Girl isn't high cinema, it's not even a truly great B-movie. But it still manages to be a fun 90 minutes. Speaking of a fun 90 minutes click that little sideways triangle down there for your own. open.spotify.com/episode/2fzV...

In addition to the made-up category of "seminudity," HB 249 also expands the definition of "nudity" to include "cleavage" and uncovered "anal cleft" I dunno. Maybe the journalist could have quoted the bill rather than bothsidesing it. search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/gener...

So how long before Tennessee takes this one up and makes it happen? PS: WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HOW ARE WE HERE OHMFGWTFTOUEHBHE!

Why would voters ever make a promise to a party. Why would that ever be the balance of power in anything but a cult.

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

I dunno, maybe if you really want doctors on The Pitt to kiss, you should watch ER? Shipping characters in a drama that is hyperfocused on realism in a professional setting feels squicky to me. Can we not find value in deeply human stories unless half the cast is about to bone?

Millions of lapsed Catholics realizing that they have become realigned with the Pope against their will

Indivisible Memphis Endorses Keisha Scott for Shelby County Sheriff At Indivisible Memphis, we believe public safety should be about people. We are proud to endorse Keisha Scott for Shelby County Sheriff. #sheshed

Look, I'm also enjoying Woke Pope 2.0 but like...it's still a bad guy fight, y'all.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
