As we head home from Pax Unplugged, i want to let everyone know about the Kickstarter we just launched. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dod...

Also true for your favorite artists and crafters.

Hey fellow men 👋 please sort yourselves out *before* you start a family with someone.

Day 3 of Pax Unplugged is starting and we’ve been so busy we haven’t had a chance to post anything at all.

The US will not be responsible for a peace deal in Ukraine. The EU will be. We need to start normalizing that reality and Putin needs to understand that’s the future now, whether he likes it or not.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Just Launched on Kickstarter! Come by booth 2807 for a demo! See the Churro-Chucks in person! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dod...

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

"rising home insurance premiums, driven higher by climate change, are cascading into the broader real estate market and eating into home values in the most disaster-prone areas."

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

Dodecadonuts at Pax Unplugged. Booth 2807. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Launching Nov 20. On #kickstarter. Fantasy Food Fight!

Our Kickstarter for Fantasy Food Fight launches Nov 20. Find out more at www.kickstarter.com/projects/dod...

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week. prospect.org/2025/11/14/e...

Watching "Moonraker" and the Drax/Elon parallel is freaky.

Point simply being: Epstein's presentation of his intertwining with the current president is more than credible.

A Legend of Zelda themed MtG set could fix me

I've been playing around with the new Affinity Studio since it was released. TLDR; It's good. Very good. How long will it stay that way? It's still too early to tell. Some background, my first impressions, and my wishlist are all here: www.explorersdesign.com/affinity-imp...

The weekend before Thanksgiving I’m traveling to Pax Unplugged for the biggest selling show of the year. A failure here likely means the end of Dodecadonuts as a business. The government shutdown is causing me real pain.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

I just called all my representatives to ask them to keep fighting. I’d ask you to do the same. #senate #house

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

Soooo. Anyone going from CA to Pennsylvania in mid to late November? Asking for a small business trying to get to Pax during a national air traffic slowdown

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

100% Real. Totally Fake. On their way to Pax Unplugged along with a host of other goodies. Find us at Booth 2807!

Intuit is a horrid company making life worse for us all.

Iit's like figuring out that gasoline is inherently lysenkoist and technofascist. You don't always have to methodically lie and invade-and-kill people just to have the technical power of fossil fuels, but, well, once you do, you kinda do. #bloodforoil #bloodforAI www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

The AWESOME investigation I would love to see one day is if X knows what accounts are lawmakers (yes they do) and what Elon does to mess with all their shit so they see the content he wants them to see.

I'm never changing a flight again. Agent unintentionally cancelled the flight. Any money I saved from getting a flight credit is immediately eaten by the rebooking fees. blech.

This is why I’ll never use quick books

WTF? @washingtonpost.com just published a profile about Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network with JD Vance—that omitted Buskirk’s ties to American Reformer, self-professed Christian Nationalist William Wolfe, & Wolfe’s Center for Baptist Leadership. 1/

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

I just got $35 dollars in the Facebook class action lawsuit. Meaning Facebook and Cambridge Analytica used my data to psychologically manipulate voters, turn our country fascist, end public health, end antitrust enforcement, & drown us in scams. They get an enshittifed forever-empire and I get $35.

Please vote YES on Prop 50, the election rigging response act. Deadline for voting is Tuesday, Nov 4.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

(3) Pollsters like to test messages with captured audiences who are being paid to pay attention. That isn’t reality. It’s pretend. No such circumstances exist outside of their experimental settings. The fight over attention is the central fulcrum point of contemporary politics.

Anyone voting on Prop 50 in CA and having a hard time getting to yes because you don't like partisan gerrymandering? Me too. Let me make a personal plea to vote yes from deep in the heart of Texas. I have been anti gerrymandering and trying to stop it- professionally- for 20 years.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality. Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.
