Natural causes, in front of an audience, or during the taping of an interview.

That way we get GIFs of the miserable fucker's last moments.

It won't bring back the dead, unfuck the economy, or undue the damage done to our society, but watch them will give us the strength to carry on.

Since this is getting reposted, a PSA: Daphne is a blood donor.

Your easy-going large dog may qualify. Ask your local emergency vet for programs in your area.

This CANNOT become law. It would ruin so many of us.

By the way, if you were one of those people who declared that not voting to prevent this made you morally superior to those of us who tried to stop it, kindly go jump in an open sewer.

The rest of you, time to make calls.

Finally finished Enshittification audio book.

"Orphanages, dog pounds full of puppies, tea shops where old ladies hang out. We're going after all of them. Maximum lethality. Kill, kill, kill! Poison gas, smallpox, we're doing it all. I've got a tiny penis and a duck-shaped birthmark on my ass no one is going to laugh at me again."

Listening to Obama, and the other speakers, is like getting an audio feed from another, better, timeline.

Well, if President Dingleberries ordered attacks on Iran to distract us from the Epstein Files situation, it didn't work.

With every new development in this story I am even more gobsmacked that Epstein and his co-conspirators escaped accountability over and over and over again. There's more to come from my investigation. Stay tuned.

Can you do ICE agents?

So, let's zero out their budget.

"Sorry, I can't do that Dave."

I lots of posts asking "How can America come back from this?"

We do it by bringing the bastards to justice. Shame them, fine them into poverty, put them in jail.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is hanging up laundry, while singing Cherubino's aria from the opera The Wedding of Figaro. Blue peeks from behind a bedsheet, startling Green badly enough to prompt Green to shoot straight up through the ceiling. Blue: You sing when you do laundry by yourself? Green: Iaaah! Taken aback, Blue looks apologetically up to the ceiling. Blue: I didn't mean to startle you. Green: It's okay.

The demon stands next to Lucy with a hand on her arm. She sits with her elbows on her knees. The demon says, "Listen, I think you've been pushing too hard--you're going to make yourself sick at this rate." Lucy says, "I can't afford to slow down."

Lucy lies on her back, holding a tissue. The demon is sitting with its legs underneath her, holding a box of tissues and looking distinctly unimpressed. Lucy says, "Oh no I am sick." The demon says, "What a surprise." Lucy snaps back, "Quiet, you." The demon continues, "Who could have possibly foreseen this."

Tale as old as time.

"Privies & Proofing"

Coming soon: Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age A fantasy roleplaying game where ordinary characters become fated heroes, in a land shaped by mighty trolls.

I've been a lifelong fan of Tunnels & Trolls. We acquired it and are re-imagining it via a big Kickstarter. There is magic and monsters but someone needs to dig out the latrines and make bread.

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, has died Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

I'd almost forgotten I was ON GEnie.

Also, Steve Jackson's BBS, Illuminati Online, which I dialed into from NYC in the wee hours.

Elbow deep in T&T spells at the moment. I enjoy the mechanic we've ended up with that more mana spend = more dice. More hits = more effects. Also each school having a different feel and flavour

(that there's NOT a lot of work to do)

5/ What doesn't work:

Doomerism.

Mournfully quoting Hannah Arendt and obsessively filling out your Autocracy Bingo Card.

Cynicism.

Shutting down and moping.

Find friends. Join a group.

4/ Like Pepper, Popovic doesn't suggest there is an *easy* way out of messes like the one we're in, but he is confident that popular movements *work.*

And that they can be fun and creative.

3/ Just started reading: "Blueprint for Revolution," by Srdja Popovic.

A guide on how to use protest, mockery, and other non-violent techniques to "galvanize communities, overthrow dictators, or simply change the world."

Popovic is a veteran of the movement that tossed out Slobodan Milosevic.

2/ Pepper wants more people voting, for every race, in every election. He wants Democrats running for every race, in every district, in every election. Give people choices.

He's under no illusion that there is a lot of work to do, but he lays out a great case and provides lots of actionable ideas.

1/ Finished reading:

"Saving Democracy" by David Pepper.

This is a followup to Pepper's "Laboratories of Autocracy," which is about how conservatives use local office and *especially* state legislatures to further their anti-democratic, oligarch-friendly extremist agendas.
