Weird that no matter what insults Trump is willing to lob at someone, he never calls a white man "low IQ." That seems specifically reserved for women of color like AOC and Crockett.

Running my Greyhawk campaign again for the first time since June on Saturday. Glad I have decent notes to review, because I don't remember a goddam thing.

This is the correct answer.

Really good video with @yonatan.bsky.social about his book. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMgU...

It is too early to get a call from the school about my child's behavior. Shouldn't have gotten her a caramel macchiato on the way to school this morning. She apparently came in hot.

The Venn diagram of people who think buying Sabra hummus is the moral equivalent of committing genocide and the people who are excusing nazi tattoos is a circle.

Been rewatching the X-Files over the last couple months. They did Scully so wrong in those first 3 seasons. I did not remember how often they "damsel in distressed" her and shooting Mulder and her adventure with the schizo tattoo guy didn't fix it. Also, I now want to run a conspiracy TTRPG game.

You are not a bad person if you really wanted the random oyster farmer to be a US Senator over the 1,000 year old white lady, but then learned that the oyster guy had a nazi tattoo and decided the ancient lady wasn't so bad after all.

We should somehow incentivize people to change their opinions and beliefs based on acquiring new and accurate information.

Getting older is just an exercise in accepting that literally everything in life is getting dumber and shittier over time.

Did they finally time the lights on Delaware going north through downtown or did I just get insanely lucky?

You're right, you're not a secret nazi. You seem pretty open about it. www.axios.com/2025/10/21/g...

"Don't have nazi tattoos" is not an impossible standard my dude.

Do his former lawyers get a percentage of the settlement that they get to approve payout of?

I hate the "Pentagon has never passed an audit" talking point because it's always implied they can't pass an audit because they're bad with money when in reality they cannot pass an audit because they have no internal controls and vendor relationships that make them unreliable audit partners.

I always think it's weird when people complain about TTRPGs having rules that focus on combat mechanics. I don't really need rules to make believe I'm an elf and talk to other people, but I do enjoy having rules so I know how many fascists I cooked with a fireball.

On the list of things that matter, it doesn't even really break the top 100. It's still a little sad to watch them pave over gardens and destroy historic buildings though.

Oh, and none of this is getting into the 5e monster manual, which is a bit like if the silmarilion and the turner diaries had a baby? it's one of the most relentlessly bigoted books I've ever read, and the fact that they're all fake made up critters that it despises doesn't make it better?

I would absolutely lose my mind, but no one other than my closest family and friends would ever see me again, so it wouldn't matter.

Speaker of the House Johnson held a formal press conference where Rep Roy announced that Christ is King and how dangerous the people who do not accept that are. Meanwhile Rep McClain went on CNN to announce that everyone who showed up at a No Kings rally was an antisemite. Normal fun shit happening!

Thank you John Oliver, I now know there is an International Canine Semen Bank. icsb.com

My wife made me watch Coraline last night and goddam. Dark as fuck, interesting world building, and fun animation style.

"Sacrifice has to be painful and hard!" is a Christian concept. "Sacrifices should be joyful, beneficial to the community, and accessible to everyone!" is the ancient Jewish one.

so here’s the thing, Bari, you’re running an organization full of weapons-grade gossips who hate you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

Broken clock, twice a day, etc.

I laughed so hard at this.

Sure, I guess millions is also technically thousands.

Can't sleep, clown'll eat me.

critical to remember that this energy doesn’t just automatically become Dem electoral enthusiasm. you still have to win people over. give them something to vote for more than just “I won’t be a king”

Keep in mind that they really want to be able to go on the Sunday morning shows and show images of violence from the protests and screencaps of dumb shit people have posted on bsky.

No one: No one at all: Bodies: I'm going to malfunction. Have fun with that.

Shutter Island is one of the best movies ever and one of the few that gets better with rewatch.

Everything about this article is amazing. From the guy who replaced his wife with a female presenting grok to the guy who keeps toys to lure kids to the pardoned J6'er who doesn't understand how a car can be political. It's truly nonstop Lovecraftian horror. web.archive.org/web/20251017...

I was a lifelong supporter of being alive. Then I learned that Megan McArdle, Ben Dreyfuss, and Josh Barro were doing a podcast together.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

To be fair, "I'm not sure what you're doing there." is a perfectly valid response to "That's a Ball State study."

My wife is an MA and beyond just that, she is very interested in learning all things medical. It was incredibly nice to see my cardiologist not just answering her questions, but using visual aids, addressing her instead of me, and not dumbing it down. A+ doctor.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms that is essentially two dimensional. And yet, it's still thicker than Miller's skin. Bro, you let some wine moms with "Live, Laugh, Love" and "In this House..." signs chase you outta your home?

I have spent the last couple of years writing about the Young Republicans. Here is some of my work.

The one good thing about them taking the horny restraints off ChatGPT is that we will never hear from some people again

I'm not one to body shame, but that man does not have a build that suggests to me he can be trusted to know things about gravy.

Something I legitimately respect about antitheists is that you can call an insurance company soulless, and they are right there to remind you that ackchyually nothing has a soul, call you a slur, something something sky daddy, and ride off into the sunset having done white USAian Jesus's work.

In all seriousness, what I truly love about USAian healthcare is when my doctor says I need this medicine for my best chance to survive and my insurance company counters by asking if I really need the best chance and isn't 50/50 more appropriate?

How many GOP votes did the compromise ACA attract?

oh I see the *amazingly* anti-Semitic Twitter food meme has reached BlueSky because a lot of you are terrible people who need to be taught manners with a two by four, even if it won't change your wicked hearts.

IU being good at football will never not be weird to me.

I'm really wondering if he's just being fed constant AI slop and honestly thinks this is happening or if he's just that far gone mentally. It's hard for me to comprehend how 40% of the country is in his thrall.

The spaniel watches over his flock.

I have never feared for my daughter's safety more than when she called her mother "bruh."
