Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

A lotta misinformation out there…

Qud update: I have completed the quest to bring a Girshling corpse to Joppa. I have found a chef with about 25 waterskins filled with 1-3 drams of honey, salt, etc. I have found a herd of Gnu with a magnificent and legendary leader. I found some very tame graffiti about a beetle. Magnificent.

I am on my 4th death and I have yet to make it further than one screen north of Joppa, but I think I'm learning each time. Lesson learned #4: If the chitinous puma are attacking a herd of fork-horned gnu, just let nature be. Do not walk into the middle of it, as then you're also fighting 5 pumas.

Sunrise at work yesterday morning was nice.

Please listen to this. I really can’t express how much I loved the first episode.

Caves of Qud lesson #1: if you take your good bud the important fish with you to let everyone know that, yeah, some fish are important politicians too, DO NOT GET NEAR HIS LINE OF FIRE. Fish have terrible aim. he will hit you for basically your entire health bar and you’ll die. Good lesson.

Chris Christodoulou working with the De Profundis Ensemble to record music for Azathoth Blues. This gives you a small hint of the amount of effort that went into creating this show. It's really something special.

There’s an ep (Pod People?) where someone says something like “It’s perfectly natural for deer to jump through a glass window” and baby, that’s a Fort Atkinson, WI ref.

I *loved* the previous drama that Jonas Kyratzes made, Gospels of the Flood. I can’t wait to enjoy this new one.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

The coffee shop is packed with people. It’s giving out coupons to anyone who donates plasma in the blood center truck outside. A pair of neighbors wait for coffee and fill each other in on the latest ICE killing. A man has to excuse himself to quietly cry in the corner. A Saturday in Minneapolis.

lmao shout out to the follower who made this for me

I have a theory that the general epistemic crisis has led to a lot of very online people getting used to communicating primarily through oughtposting and kind of forgetting how to deal with isposting

Hey! I'm a wizard, mind you.

Hearing of the ICE escalations, my son, Emoji Fortnite looked up from his calculus and paraphrased Cicero thus, "Non nobis solum nati sumus ortusque nostri partem finitimi vindicat." My wise daughter, Salomé Athena, replied, "Vrai. Un État ne peut être meilleur que les citoyens qui le composent."

here's this vintage jeopardy clip with ken jennings

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

the game league of legends has a role called “bottom lane” (or ADC) so they handed out a ✨BOTTOM OF THE YEAR✨ award 😭

Suzanne Collins doing some top tier marketing for Sunrise on the Reaping

COOL. YES.

Our next podcast is coming soon - it's currently playing in competition at the Thessaloniki Film Festival. We haven't talked about it much so far, but we will start soon. It's hugely ambitious, an enormous production, and born out of our deep love for HP Lovecraft.

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

This is his pardon, purchas’d by such sin For which the pardoner himself is in.

The thing about baseball and twitter/bsky is that baseball is the only sport that moves at the exact speed of posting

Finally, something that will pull Seattle out of the slump its been in since the untimely death of Kurt Cobain

Well the baseball game is over but the night is young for the 38 year olds of Bluesky, and that means it’s time to take a low dose aspirin and read about Bigfoot on your iPad for 20 minutes before falling asleep

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

i don’t think i would do any pedophile stuff even if it helped the fbi. but i guess that’s where the president and i disagree

“That's 40 *cents*. Cents are a form of currency one hundred times smaller than the reál. I'm not even going to take this. Come back when you have 130 reál.” Isn't it... evil? The order of magnitude between what is asked of a person -- and what they have?

This week we reached a settlement with our lawsuit, my job laid off 20% of the company, and my car has a flat this morning. Also the farmer’s market doesn’t open until 11, which is insane. But I’ve got a cute date coming over tonight and I’m making her dinner so it’s all kinda okay.

Milwaukee, 147 years ago today Abolitionist and anti-death-penalty activist Christopher Latham Sholes patents his new invention: the typewriter, which would forever change how the written word is captured globally. Its QWERTY keyboard remains the global standard today.

Reminded me of one of the best posts of all time

I had to #overwatch
