Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Why did they build this separate PATH system with tunnels under the Hudson rather than building tunnels for the NJ Transit trains to run through instead of stopping in Hoboken?

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

Trump told us these people were so dangerous they couldn't afford due process to prove how dangerous they were. They had to go straight to the foreign concentration camp. Turns out *at least* one in five of them *didn't even break US immigration law*

#GenCon 2025 registration opened! So I analyzed #dnd edition adoption in the event catalog while my #rpg wishlist processed. There were 1243 scheduled D&D events, 90% are 5E or later: * 2024 ed: 323 * 5E: 795 * 4E: 6 * 3.5E: 43 * AD&D 1e: 65 * BECMI: 2 * 0E: 9 Seems like #5E is holding strong.

Hey #PortfolioDay ! 🎨 I'm a french illustrator with a passion for Old School Fantasy, #TTRPG, and high adventure with a vintage twist. Here's a medley of personal covers for adventures I'll probably finish writing some day :

that hitler was a fucking coward in the end is one of those details that his contemporary worshippers like to ignore

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

In some countries this position is known as a Political Officer.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

This app isn't too bad if you utilize publicly-available moderation lists to automatically block trolls and hate speech. I imagine without those, it's as bad as Twitter. So my advice is to definitely use them. I will thread the ones I am using.

Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...

This thing I wrote for @shewstone.bsky.social is finally up on Fiat Lingua! fiatlingua.org/2025/03/ "MetaNaming: A Guide to Deciding How Your Culture Will Name Things for Authors and Game Masters" #conlang

all of this additional reporting is vindicating my argument today that by delegating huge amounts of presidential authority to other people trump has made the executive branch even less accountable

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

How to change a swastika that cant be removed

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

$38 million for Elon? Interesting huh

Congestion Pricing is creating tremendous benefits. Subway Ridership: ⬆️ 13% Bus Ridership: ⬆️ 6% (⬆️ 21% weekends) Transit Crime: 🔻36% Fatal Car Crashes: 🔻44% Trip Times: 🔻10-30%

again this is a full scale attack on constitutional government

Ray of light in a dark moment here. AOC turned 35 this year.

Today was one of the most overwhelming experiences I've ever had in nature photography. I'm not ready to share everything yet, as it's an ongoing project, but for now... here's an extremely close look at a bird that no longer exists, the Passenger Pigeon: 📷 🦉

this is worth reading if only as further evidence for the thesis that these self-proclaimed philosopher capitalists are total morons who huff paint and call it insight
