Billionaires only believe in providing good returns on investments when they’re the investors.

lol

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

He nails it.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

This is how it’s done.

seems bad

Wait, Elon might still accidentally solve our problems in the funnest way possible.

The Maine Principal's Association said it would continue to allow trans girls to compete in school sports, saying President Trump's recent executive order is in conflict with state law.

Have you ever tried to peel a grape? #Sketchbook USA is in bad shape but life must go on. We have to laugh a little, dream a little, and draw stupid things. We can't stop. Fight them all the way and laugh as much as you can. Fuckers are outnumbered by a huge margin, and it will only grow. Fuck 'em.

From MagicCon: Chicago, we’re excited to announce an upcoming @magic.wizards.com - D&D crossover supplement. We can’t say much at this point, but we’ll be headed to Lorwyn-Shadowmoor!

Correct. They bought nothing with their capitulation except disdain from their users.

"Tabletop games give you permission. They give you permission to take center stage, even for a moment, and tell a story. They give you permission to be creative and express your own ideas in a way that maybe playing Hades doesn't." #TTRPG

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

lol come on guys

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

On this week's Between Two Cairns, we review "The Evils of Illmire" and answer a mailbag question which, if I remember correctly, is "what's the best color?" shows.acast.com/between-two-...

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

The Blind Guardian from #BlackPuddingZine issue 2. For these classes I tended to give them little abilities that worked within B/X, tweaking or breaking certain little rules and using what was there to create something new. Like this one stating that you attack like a MU when using the wrong weapon.

You know, they never stop at one group. Never. They come for one, they (eventually) come for all. They start with the smallest because they know the others will go about their business, thinking it will never happen to them. We should all be thinking about this. Because they will get to you.

Next up on our tour of each and every D&D/TSR release starting in 1974 and going forward, currently in the year 1980, we have another iconic module release, the mass publication version of C2 The Ghost Tower of Inverness (1st print was 1979). Here are my original shrink 2nd, 3rd, and 5th printings.

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

I'm in remission for cancer. During treatment, my oncologist wanted me to get liquid chemo. That meant getting an infusion port. My health insurance approved surgery for the port. After I got it, that insurance DENIED coverage for the liquid chemo. This has to change. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/h...

Friday morning is my chance to reflect--take stock of my week and prepare for the next. This morning I've been reflecting on magic--not fantasy magic, but the real magic that we have the capacity to do each day. That magic where, with a careful placed word or gesture, we can change the world.

New rule: Control of the Federal Aviation Administration should never be in the hands of people who don’t ever have to fly on commercial airlines.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Utopia's don't and won't ever exist. But we should always be laying the groundwork for a better world. If it helps us, great. But even if we don't get to see the results of our labors, our descendants inherit the benefits, and that's the true point.

Working on #Doomslakers, the Black Pudding #TTRPG, which is divorced from D&D. But I keep slipping into old habits of language and assumption, such as feeling the need to state things like a monster's attack as an "action". But I don't need to do that. This game isn't structured quite like that. 1/3

This is really something

Just so it's clear, DeJoy wanted the Post Office to look competent so he could sell it off as part of the privatization plans, but Trump really just wanted to destroy it wholesale, so now DeJoy is on the outs because he was trying to do what Trump said he wanted, not what he actually wanted.

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

First locker room selfie. I know, I know. I'm allowing it. Ignore the pitting.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

UVA students are gathering outside the rotunda to protest a closed meeting of the board of visitors scheduled to discuss the fate of gender affirming care at UVA hospital
