(It's a joke, I swear.) Well, I'm sorry Bengals fans, but Ja'Marr Chase will be injured most of this season. I know this because I have randomly been chosen to draft first in my fantasy football league.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

If it helps offset anything, I am a patron my 60s and I am enjoying your work more than ever.

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion.

Based on my personal experience in martial arts, I believe that sports communities that welcome trans women and girls end up being more welcoming and beneficial for all sorts of women. I wish more people stopped focusing on what we could ostensibly loose through inclusion when we gain so much.

I made some changes as a consumer (and former MC customer) instead of an artist, but this is a good start.

I'm so sorry. I have dealt with situations like this, but not anywhere near this bad.

"Adventure! People talked about the idea as if it were something worthwhile, rather than a mess of bad food, no sleep, and strange people inexplicably trying to stick pointed objects in bits of you." -Rincewind also from Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett

education standards in Canada and the USA have been enshittified for decades. I don't think people really know how to research beyond typing whatever in Google and they don't know how to examine the results

and they fight for their lives when i say "chatbots are not good for research, oh my god"

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

Share widely.

Don't let the list intimidate you. You don't need to read them all unless you fall in love with them. There is no grand overarching story line and the recurring characters are more of a comfort than a requirement to read/know everything in everyone's back story. Read whatever appeals to you.

I always liked the way the Judges Guild RPG supplement City State of the Invincible Overlord referred to the lawyers' union as the Litigation Tricksters Guild.

If you do, please know that you don't have to (and shouldn't) start at the beginning. You can start pretty much anywhere in the series. The first couple books are, IMO, not as good as the rest as Sir Terry was finding his voice. Use this helpful guide. bsky.app/profile/rinc...

Despite CDC’s recent update, ACOG continues to strongly recommend COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy in any trimester and during lactation. The vaccine is safe, effective, and protects parents and infants, especially in the first six months of the infant’s life. Learn more: bit.ly/3RWsM3z

I was fortunate enough to purchase the DVD during the short time it was available, so I have watched Dogma many times. It is one of my favorites, and I could not resist the chance to see it on the big screen. Still wonderful!

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban? The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

(It probably goes without saying, but the Utah state legislature's response has been to repeat "the science isn't there" like if they do it enough it will become true.)

The Study Republicans Demanded About Trans Kids Just Backfired. Guess What the Media Isn't Covering? Utah commissioned actual experts to review the science on gender-affirming care. The results? Inconvenient truths that don't fit the narrative.

ICYMI, via @parkermolloy.com: Utah legislators commissioned a study to justify their ban on gender-affirming care for trans kids.

It came back last week, and it turns out the science shows gender-affirming care is GOOD for trans kids.

And crickets from the media.

I must not quote dunk. quote dunking is the mind-killer. Quote dunking is the promotion bad take havers want. I will block the take haver. I will permit it to disappear. And when it has gone I will turn no eye to see its path. Where the quote dunk would be there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

There's a man who appreciates where he came from.

Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

Nothing sweeter than seeing Lando get a kiss from his mom and a hug from his dad at Monaco.

The House budget bill is a dream for billionaires and a nightmare for working families.

They’re slashing food assistance, health care, and retirement benefits for MILLIONS of people—all so they can give even more tax breaks for the rich.
