It was certainly a choice to stop drinking* during a period that historians will no doubt call "ye aulde drunken tymes"

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Remember please that Florida is not a monolith. Miamians, incl Latinx, aren't a monolith. The very smart, and not at all cringe reaponse to this billboard was the same billboard with pictures of Castro(s), Maduro, etc. because sure I guess. The "120 Cubans" are a monolith tho...of boot-lickers.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

With all the general fuckery over at WoTC, including but not limited to AI, the pinkertons, and a douchey soulless corporatization of "The IP," I hereby announce that my group will be rocking 5e #DnD until the wheels fall off. We weathered 4e; we'll see the other side of this.

So FWIW / Damage is done - but it looks like academia's love affair with ai / llm may be kind of sort of ending. I am happy that some of our nation's boldest and brightest minds finally figured out that snake oil salesmen are in fact selling snake oil.

It's funny that I could post "I wish he would fucking die already" and the answer to the question "who" would change by the time I could answer it.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I love early AM sky because the doom of the day hasn't settled in yet. We have all had a little sleep, maybe we had a nice dream that gave us a respite from (gestures) *this*... Before dawn, it's just ttrpgs, furries, and Alf hog.

When COVID hit I was still on Facebook, and as the numbers went up I made shitty MS Paint graphics of the alpine hiker from the Price is Right Cliffhanger game showing the trump COVID numbers going up and up. Should I do the same in reverse for the trump stock market? Too late already did.

How yesterday's tariff pause announcement fits in here: what trump did is let it get bad and scary, then "fix" it. An old mob trick: whack someone in front of your mark - now look how happy they are you didn't kill *them*! But they gotta show respect, or you're back in 90 days...

I stocked up on Spam and all my shoes are made of real leather, so I'll be eating long* after everyone else has starved when there's no more food on the shelves. *3-4 days tops.
