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.

I feel a LITTLE guilty about the number of sahuagin I threw at my PCs tonight in our D&D game. I feel more guilty about the devil sharks traveling with them and blasting the party halfway across the ship's deck.

If you read this and think it would be about sending troops in, think of this instead: US Drones flying into Mexico to kill Cartel leaders, which will, the way drones always do, eventually hit the wrong people, and lead to "acceptable" civilian losses during the remote controlled assassinations.

I hate using too many pop culture references in a serious situation, but it's like he's stepping on a concurrent series of rakes here. This would be like Palpatine calling himself Emperor on the holonet after Naboo.

If Trump calling himself a king is what finally gets Republicans to think, "shit, we've got to reign him in," I'm okay with that if they actually decide it's a problem and aren't just very concerned.

There are so many other things that infuriate me, but something about our president thinking there is a grammatical case to keep referring to himself as "TRUMP" manages to annoy me even more. If you haven't seen it, I honestly mean, he's putting the quotation marks around it too.

We've never focused on men's health before. Such a revolutionary thought. Silly women getting all the medical research. This is one of the most 2025 headlines I've seen so far.

I had a few thoughts about presenting NPCs without using the same game rules as player characters but without using different cosmological assumptions. #TTRPGs #5eSRD

"This crime we committed is justified because we made five billion dollars from the crime." "Instead of pointing out it's still a crime, I'm going to say that you really only committed a crime worth 50 million dollars, thus making it look like crime isn't the problem; the math is."

If "look how much money we're saving" and "look at these mistakes the agency is making" make you okay with an unelected unconfirmed person using their personal employees to drastically modify agencies that they shouldn't be allowed to modify even if they were properly vetted, I can't work with that.

Trump and Hegseth have an interesting strategy going on, where Trump is screwing over the rank-and-file military by destroying their benefits, and Hegseth is pissing off the generals by trying to put them in their place. If this were TV, it would be an interesting subplot to see resolved.

It's embarrassing how many of these assholes worshipping at the altar of Ayn Rand are too willingly illiterate to know who she is.

Given the amount of hyperbole I'm seeing, I swear some people had their YouTube videos partially written before they even saw Brave New World.

I have no real attachment to the 80s RoboForce line, but I remember seeing the figures in stores. But I did see some of these on clearance and was really tempted, because my brain reacts to weird things.

If you want to see how our "we can't do anything, they're in power" Democrats stack up to politicians in other countries, this wasn't that long ago.
