Turns out Trump named the Big Beautiful Bill after his lover

Alt-text: In a lush, moonlit forest painted with storybook detail, a joyful procession of woodland creatures parades forward. A possum marches upright with three babies clinging to its back, carrying a lantern on a pole. A bat swoops overhead, wings spread wide. A black cat plays a wooden flute while walking on hind legs. A toad in a tiny red party hat perches beside a snail, and another toad dances enthusiastically while clutching a four-leaf clover. Fireflies, butterflies, mushrooms, and thick old trees frame the scene. Bright yellow text reads: “If you are seeing this, the curse is lifted. Have a good day.” The whole image feels like a whimsical folk-tale blessing breaking through the undergrowth. Generated with Bluesky AltText, a CustomGPT.

Hillary Clinton was blowing Bubba all the time, and the liberal media didn't mention it once. But when Trump does it, that's all they talk about. Such a double standard

Using Emacs made me understand why Tinkers in Worm don't give their tech to teammates. Some things really do only work because of your constant tinkering, and would spontaneously combust if you give them to anyone else.

Thanks, but I'd rather pick another car, this one is rocking too much

A mock-up of an old D&D guide detailing the properties of magical items, featuring "Altman’s Quill of Artifice". The entry reads: This enchanted quill, made from the feather of a harpy, serves as a magical scribe and sage, able to answer all its owner’s queries. The owner must use it to write a question at the top of a piece of paper or parchment, such as “Where is the secret entrance to the King’s treasury?” or “How can I cure lycanthropy?” Acting under its own power, it will write an answer. But despite its apparent (and often genuine) usefulness, this item is cursed. Roll d20 to determine the result of any query: 1 Hopelessly wrong, 2-5 Contains major errors, 6-10 Contains minor errors, 11-16 Accurate but incomplete, 17-20 Fully accurate. Apply modifiers in line with the rules for consulting sages (see Table 62) depending on the nature of the question (general 0, specific -2, exacting -4) and the availability of relevant knowledge (complete 0, partial -2, non-existent -6). The DM should choose the nature of any errors, as well as the consequences of believing them. If the answer is less than fully accurate, that will not be obvious, as the quill of artifice writes in a confident and authoritative manner. A reader may scrutinise the answer to attempt to notice any problem, but to succeed they must pass an intelligence check at a penalty of -2. Anyone who has previously failed such a check makes all future checks at -4. The owner of the quill is particularly vulnerable, permanently losing one point of intelligence with each inaccurate answer that is believed. The owner will be unaware of this loss, and will become fiercely possessive of the quill, refusing to give it up and distrusting anyone who doubts its output. A remove curse spell may make the owner willing to part with it, but the loss of intelligence is irreparable.
