"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

given your audience, d20s would probably do well?

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

I hope the Baileys corporealize like a pair of tulpas and devour him

A Venmo transaction for $25 to Sanctuary Supply Depot with “Fuck Frey” in the memo

I’m not a betting woman, but if I were I’d bet that the big strong mayor is going to celebrate his win by being a dick to unhoused people. Please join me (if you’re able) in donating to the good folks at @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social so they can help our neighbors.

Great work to whomever put up these signs around the Franklin / Hiawatha fence labyrinth.

The Baileys aren't Chuck Schumer's excuse for inaction

They're psychic entities in the astral plane, thoughtforms of pure malevolence that only Chuck can see. They have haunted him his entire life

When he says "What am I supposed to tell the Baileys?," he is afraid.

Their True Name is unutterable

Your chilly sneer
Of cold command
Your trunkless legs
Upon the sand
Once awed the Persian, Turk,
And Damascene

A pedastal
Beside your smirk
Proclaims “Look up,
You lazy jerk!
Behold the mighty work
Of great
Jolene.”

Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

my name is Oz
and wen the stone
is broke to bits
and all alone
i lie in sand
it stretches bare
you read my words
you pls despair

Zohran Mamdani caught lying when he said he went on a date with Aerith at the Gold Saucer in his Final Fantasy VII playthrough, even though the game’s localization clearly refers to her as “Aeris.”

The thing about this victim mindset that a lot of the Biden people seem to have is: you can be the guy who leverages the power of the establishment to elbow aside all your rivals because it's Your Turn; OR you can play the little birthday boy who should never be hit in the face. Can't have both.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

once again begging publishers to just have a reasonably high-quality image file of your covers available for when people are writing about your books

Solving our "most perilous moment" with the filibuster feels like trying to beat the nazis in a dance off. Just profoundly silly posturing. the "but Simon didn't SAY!" of politics

I want to show this skeet to everyone I know because it is truly incredible but I don't think any of my friends are in the particular Venn diagram intersection to understand how great it is and that's such a tragedy

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies Alt: david mitchell in a nazi uniform with the exact same symbol as platner's tattoo thinks about the same symbol and says "are we the baddies?"

is this argument just ignoring the fact that this particular symbol is the center of a very popular meme about how anyone would be dumb to think that symbol was positive?

This is such a funny redux of the bad baby Jesuses in medieval art

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Wikipedia Volunteers Avert Tragedy by Taking Down Gunman at Conference

By Andy Newman

At Civic Hall in Union Square, a man with a gun walked onto the stage at a Wikipedia conference.

Richard Knipel, CUNY's Wikimedian-in-Residence, jumped the gunman and, with others' help, saved the day. Gift link

a selfie of me: a balding 39-year-old white guy with black plastic glasses and a beard and moustache, wearing a brown hoodie and a blue tshirt. there are trees in the background.

a very gorgeous bright red maple tree at peak fall color, on the boulevard between the sidewalk and St. Clair Ave in St. Paul, MN.

Day off, went to the friendly neighborhood queer barbershop for a trim and walked the 3ish miles home, stopping along the way for little treats. Trying to enjoy autumn while it's so gorgeous out.

I don't remember how long the Ecce Romani books had Flavia et Cornelia before Marcus and Sextus show up but I'm pretty sure at least the first few chapters were all first declension

someone once asked me who my favorite local anchor was as a first date question and I had no idea how to answer because I moved here as an adult and do not know their names unless they were married to the head of the police union
