When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.
ralph fiennes just put in a performance that is totally unique in the annals of film history. never seen anything like it. holy fuck.
NEW: A month and a half into the federal immigration enforcement blitz that's flooded MN with ICE and federal agents, protests and developments are accelerating; residents continue to confront ICE and legal challenges against federal operations continue to unfold.

NEW: Far-right agitator Jayden Scott was detained by federal agents at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis on Jan. 15 after instigating violence. He was released a short a time later. It's unclear if he was charged with anything. Scott and others attempted to provoke the anti-ICE protesters.
To anyone who voted for this current administration, you cannot say that you want to protect children and stop the monsters that prey on them. If you still stand by this administration, you are complicit.
The DOJ did a late night filing stating that no judge or court can adjudicate or enforce the epstein files transparency act. The Department of Justice is barely trying to hide that one of their main focuses is protecting pedophiles and child traffickers.
This is not financial advice. But Asus just announced that they will be producing consumer aimed RAM and Graphics Cards to fill in the vacuum left by micron and Nvidia. Asus stock has already grown by 144% in two years. Probably worth getting them in your portfolio for 2026.
I'm super happy with my bi-weekly D&D game and my players, but damn I feel like I need a weekly ttrpg game to keep my seasonal depression in check, and I have so many different games and settings for games that I haven't been able play.
Everytime I learn of a new piece of horror found within the Epstein Files, I whisper to myself "What would Gary Plauché do?"
Please keep sending more loud shitty people into boxing matches so the world can see how pathetic they really are.
Andrew Tate will forever have a phobia of the color pink because flashes of pink boxing gloves was all he saw before the swollen eyes and concussed brain.
Jake Paul had the true fear of god in his eyes by the end of that massacre.
The world may be spiralling downward, but as some kind of fateful consolation two poster children for white nationalism and toxic masculinity got their jaws jacked and shit rocked by confident young black men.
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time a dice roll decided that I had to add an obnoxious, foul mouthed, and good hearted raccoon as an animal companion into a dnd campaign, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
It engages my players and gets them more excited and more invested into the game and world, and it eliminates a ton of prep work that I used to have to do. Their ideas become story events or points of interest or pieces of lore dumps. In general, this addition has turned this campaign into our best.
They then add in neighborhoods and factions and landmarks and history and npcs, and I brainstorm with them and carve those ideas to a more perfect fit to the setting. Often times I don't have to change anything. This has made running the game astronomically easier.
Probably the best tip or trick or whatever you want to call it that I've added to my ttrpg games is throwing out world building prompts to my players. I give them a couple paragraphs describing a location as a baseline and then ask them to add in any ideas they might have.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more
This kind of dataset is a clear indicator that propaganda plays a big role in people's political positions and acting like people are unshiftable is just completely detached from reality
I've been teaching for a decade. Admittedly its teenagers, but the sweetest, kindest kids i teach almost universally have some life-altering trauma, illness, family issues etc. and they still show up daily with smiles and kindness. They keep me tethered to humanity after reading what our leaders do.
Well it looks like Daggerheart is going to put a dagger in the heart of dnd 5e
Gotta love copaganda reality TV playing at the gym 🤮
Last night was the first time I have run a serious D&D session in years, and damn it felt good, even though the session was an exploration of the root of all of the characters psychological trauma. I'm very excited to see the many different directions and depths that this story will go.
@sunrisemvmt.bsky.social activists asked Mitch McConnell to take a stand and he immediately fell to the floor.
10/10. No notes.
If you and your partner can still have stupid silly fun at the grocery store, that spark is a healthy vibrant flame.
I'm not afraid of the fallout of last week's news because everything bad that might come out of it was already being planned. They've already been scapegoating trans people for everything bad in this country and are trying to criminalize our existence. They've already been talking about declaring "Antifa" a domestic terror organization. They're already funding a genocide (and were before the current administration) and they were already ramping up ICE infrastructure as fast as they possibly can. I don't know that there's any further acceleration available. The fascist pedal is already to the fascist metal. That's not to say that things aren't going to get worse: they are going to get worse. They're just, as far as I can tell, getting worse as fast as they already can. Our actions aren't going to someh convince the fascists to get even more fascist. There's an odd sort of freedom in that realization. We can—and should-collectively stop saying shit like "oh if you behave a certain way, it will just embolden the fascists." They're already as bold as they can get.
as usual, Margaret eloquently summarizes the thoughts that have been drifting around in my head this week. @margaret.bsky.social
Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?
It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted
