I went to see Angel's Egg at the theater last night, and it was ear splittingly loud. That's the kind of experience you only get at a theater.

types of indie tabletop roleplaying games: -D&D (80s version) -structured journaling activity -excuse for socially awkward but horny 23 year olds to form a polycule -D&D (anti-woke) -two player exercise in intense discomfort -apocalypse world

Reorganizing & I stumbled across this old Soviet cartoon. The caption says Mother Denmark has Uncle Sam over for dinner; he particularly enjoys the Greenland-shaped ice cream, which he devours whole "otherwise the Russians might come and take it.'"

You do not under any circumstances have to hand it to the LLMs.

This is my dog in the lead up to going out for her walks.

I could also ctrl+c & ctrl+v this book, make a few edits to my taste, and call it a day, but it would be fucking stupid to think I had done the act of writing or that people should pay money for it.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

People talk about our food killing a medieval peasant, but in the Middle Ages they were drinking viscous beer made with egg whites and flour that made you shit yourself

Something that sticks with me from this training: if you’re forming a group/organization, it’s important to spend time together outside of “the work”. Share meals together, grab coffee, etc. You’re going to go through some shit together. This work is hard. Strong bonds help you navigate tough times

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

A little holiday card I got to draw for a public library last year that I’m still proud of; happy almost-new-year ✨

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Recently, a document was leaked that exposed that the Dept of Human Services is in the process of establishing over 20 new concentration camps throughout the country, including one in MD intended to hold 1500 beds. Rally today to protest these heinous plans at Hagerstown Public Square at 4pm.

Minnesota hotels are closing because of safety concerns and workers at other hotels are scared to go to work. Here's a union fund for affected members.

Bluesky has been doing a ton of work to make the edit button work. Some third party clients (like anisota.net) have added an edit button now that bluesky has gotten edits mostly working with the infra but it's still very much an "in progress" feature that they are trying to fix issues with.

Gavin Newsom is spiritually indistinguishable from Patrick Bateman.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Fayette St

this is an illuminating piece of reporting on how ICE is obtaining warrantless information on people's locations and personal information. it's a 1-2-3 of poor security, unethical data brokers, and companies who are eager to weaponize this information.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

Well shit. This deeply evil country with its rabid dog politicians, a vortex of madness dragging the rest of the world into its delusions of end times.

Happy new year everyone. In classic Baltimore fashion, the crowd I was in didn't notice it was midnight until after the fact

All children are born knowing how to do this. It is culture that deprives them of this knowledge.

Gundam is a Christmas series

I heard your D&D game could use more monstrous potato mans

Baltimore should build more housing and be a sanctuary for transgender ppl

Most recent one was going to see Sorcerer in a theater full of people stoked to be seeing Sorcerer.

Great reporting and a knockout final line: “Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”
