New app to facilitate community among LGBTQ+ Dungeons and Dragons players Fans of the tabletop role playing game Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) will be able to find new friends easier with a new app coming to Atlanta later this year from queer app developer Rachel Dove. Queer app developer Rachel Dove created Dungeons Not Dating to make Dungeons and Dragons more accessible (Photo courtesy of Rachel Dove.) Dungeons Not Dating is a first-of-its-kind platform connecting D&D players across the country through shared values, play styles, and creative interests. The character-forward platform is designed to make D&D more accessible for all people – especially marginalized folks.

Why? Cop City is in Dekalb, which sneaked in with all the drama focused in Fulton. I'm still angry about all that

#1-3 I understand, but point 4 is new to me. The Post Office has unused land, in areas that are suitable for housing?

Reading through 17th century petitions today from first-generation English merchants who are BIG MAD that they’re being discriminated against when they know damn well they’re natural born subjects.

How’s that for history and tradition: anger towards people doing shitty things against citizens.

Some communities in the United States have begun to experiment with UBI on a relatively small scale and the emerging evidence about this policy’s effectiveness is striking. In addition to helping people afford immediate life expenses, it also gave people the security to seek better work opportunities. After Stockton, California implemented its pilot UBI policy, a follow up study found an increase in full-time employment among its recipients. An even more dramatic increase in employment occurred in Hudson, New York following its implementation of UBI.

Support for UBI is mixed, but results on some local testing is promising.

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Donald Trump chose to order preemptive, unprovoked, strikes on Iran with a military unprepared for the action ... because it was stupid. The result is 175 dead civilians, mostly children.

We had a deal. He canceled it. And now is killing children to get back to status quo ante.

This is immoral.

Bye, Girl I am neither Andy Borowitz nor The Onion.

The Coast Guard’s new facility is in Birmingham, Alabama, which isn’t on the water. A parting gift from outgoing DHS Secy Kristi Noem:

In business, even a very small one, "profit" and "policy" are the guide. I worked for a family business <15 people, and owner's wife would claim policy with a straight face.

The President says this war could last four weeks.

Is this like when he said we would see his health care plan in two weeks?

Was it on the Southside of town? My son works at the Shakespeare Tavern, and a lot of staff, patrons, and volunteers were super late. Some needed over an hour to do what's usually 10 or 15 minutes

Kristi Noem only wants “the right people” to vote.

They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

Democrats refused to fund DHS because federal agents were shooting U.S. citizens.

No accountability? No check.

Cashless Bail Helps Keep Families Together. Trump Wants to Shut It Down. As the president escalates his federal takeover of D.C., his latest efforts target a system held up as a model since 1992.

Criminal justice advocates warn that President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at ending cashless bail policies will disproportionately impact low-income communities.

Rep Green was escorted out of the chamber shortly after, so share this photo far and wide so everyone can see.

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

A gentle reminder that DEI was never about hiring and promoting underqualified Black people. It was about preventing underqualified white people from sliding through.

DEI is antidiscrimination law. If you oppose DEI, you want racial discrimination to go unpunished except as applied to white men.

By striking down Trump's tariffs, SCOTUS has finally found some backbone. Kavanaugh's dissent warns the decision will cause a "mess." Too bad he doesn't see that this Court's pro-Trump rulings already made a huge "mess." We must clean house in November so the cleanup can begin.
