"Here it's also useful to make a distinction between property damage (which protesters in the USA in our era have done from time to time) and harming living beings (which is largely something done by law enforcement in these demonstrations)."

Hey folks. How’s your supply lines? Water/meds/food/safe place to sleep? How’s your heart? Centered, clear? How are you set to help others through hard times like it’s the reason we are together on the planet? I don’t need to see your answers, but I do ask that you know what your answers are.

Which #ttrpg has actually good chase rules? Ones that you use. That are genuinely good. I don't need a list of games that you think have chase mechanics in or to hear about GURPs, Call of Cthulhu or Savage Worlds 😁 What have you got for me that's off piste, my gaming siblings?

In the early ‘80s, Keith Giffen wrote the line “Oh no! A MAJOR BUMMER making me TENSE to the MAX!” I think it was in the Ambush Bug Stocking Stuffer issue I don’t often think of it when I get bad news, but every time it floats to the top of my brain, I get a chuckle

It’s important to remember the activities that bring you joy, and to indulge in them with some frequency. Today I’m touching grass and listening to Dark Side of the Moon in a single sitting

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

The social era we now inaccurately refer to as “the eighties” began on 17 Oct 1981, when the single “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John reached the Top 40 singles charts in the United States. In this paper I will

This is a superb piece, not only pointing to the staggering ignorance & absurdity of Trump's approach to what he thinks are negotiations, but also illuminating a key example of the abject failure of (most of) U.S. media in reporting on his claims as to what he is doing as reflecting neutral reality.

This devastating takedown of Trump by @judgeluttig.bsky.social is no ordinary critique. It is a tour-de-force by a conservative titan, the “j’accuse” for our times. Looking forward to joining @symonedsanders.bsky.social to discuss on @msnbc.com at 11:15 PM ET. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Trump administration has fired the nation’s top copyright official, Shira Perlmutter, days after abruptly terminating the head of the Library of Congress, which oversees the U.S. Copyright Office.

On May 2nd, in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained. 1/ #WeFeedYou

Trump becomes the first American president to lose a Canadian election

don’t give them their freedom, because they’re not going to give you yours

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

You know, I used to think that investors were people who really crunched underlying data and modeled macroeconomic forces Turns out they’re entirely uninterested in all of that and just feel great about getting a phone call from some rich white guy lying his ass off

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Realized recently that what Chotiner feasts on is the deeply-held belief among elites that it is unfair to consider them bad people for having abhorrent views. So he gets them to state their beliefs, points out that they're horrific, then lets them melt down in how-dare-yous for connecting the dots.
