I **loved** these books when I was a kid. Choose Your Own Adventure plus D&D? Escape from this bullshit world that sucks? SIGN ME UP! They've been out of print forever, but Steve Jackson Games is bringing them back, and I thought my fellow nerds should know. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

My dad worked for the Iowa state cancer registry many years ago. Rolling over in his grave is an understatement.

The Nodfather, Part III Just when we thought he was out, they pull him back in. So he can fall asleep while his sugar daddy runs the country.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the *$6 per day* families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

The Democratic Party right now is pretty close to f—ing useless.

Abby Phillip reading sycophant Scott Jennings for filth tonight on CNN made my night. "Let me say it more slowly for you Scott". The look of fear in his eyes was everything.

Musk is bringing back the white supremacist because he doesn't actually think there's anything wrong with white supremacism.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

I have been informed it is Threshold Day 🦎🦎🦎 A day of unmitigated lust! But such darling baby lizards…

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

The federal government's new top HR attorney has said "Consent is probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish" and "Slaves owe us reparations," according to a new report from @pogo.org. www.pogo.org/investigatio...

To: Acting Director of Trump agency who issues stuff 1. Maybe brush up on Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. It gives the people’s reps the power to look out for people. They actually put Congress before YOU in the Constitution! 😎 2. Are you stopping NIH cancer trials?

Team Selena Gomez,,, Again!! That woman is always so brave to share her truth,,, and so many are quick to bully her.

As someone who spent 10 years working at Target Corp HQ I am disappointed but not surprised by their sudden conservative pivot. This will be gutting to thousands of employees (particularly LGBTQ) who saw it as a safe and supportive employer. We can already see the results of encroaching facism.

I keep tapping that spot on my phone screen where Facebook used to be before I uninstalled it. A brief moment of loss followed by a longer moment of relief. #dumpzuck

Facebook automatically 'followed' Vance, Trump, etc. today. Un-installed the app entirely. Hoping to find more friends here! #dumpzuck

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

#Promosky 🎮 Final Fantasy (including XIV), currently Rebirth 🎮 Persona/SMT/Metaphor 🎮 Every Trails game (currently Trails Through Daybreak) 🎮 Recent Yakuza (currently Infinite Wealth) 🎮 Every Atelier game (no shame) 🎮 Elden Ring (my first Souls!) 🚫 Do not like FPS! Lifelong gamer so hundreds more!

Reading "Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews," edited by Jonathan Cott. So far, it's 80% Dylan disputing the premise of the questions. Every so often, a little magic like this slips through.
