I've been watching a lot of Super Mario World speedruns and realized that many of the Koopalings' names are extremely outdated references. Does anyone under 40 even know who Roy Orbison, Wendy O. Williams, or Morton Downey Jr. are? Some younger gamers weren't even born while any of them were alive.

Happy Critical Role campaign 4 day to all who celebrate!

Once we are at war with Venezuela the Alien Enemies Act leaves the courts powerless to stop ICE from throwing anyone they want to call a "Venezuelan" into camps and deporting those people end masse to anywhere in the world that will take them. Normalizing this state of exception means we're all next

Dear every app and website:
I don't want pop-ups at all, ever. No help chats, no suggestions, no recommendations. I don't want you to auto-complete my sentences or predict what I am going to say or do or ask. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT. No more, no less.

On 9/12 people were attacking Sikhs because they thought they were Muslims.

I have no empathy for the loss of someone who danced on so many graves.

Don't kill babies with abortions, let them suffer and die from preventable childhood diseases instead! #freedom 🙏🇺🇸🎆

Derpy cat dress will be finished and up for sale on my website TONIGHT. We have limited spots before Halloween, so if you'd like one, keep an eye out for the launch tonight. 😍

Here's a sneak peek of the hood and tail, in the meantime!!

Hey, why are we organizing society based on what makes the most money for the people who already own everything? That seems like it'd lead to a bunch of easily foreseen problems.

People love being loud and wrong on the internet.

I should have expected there would be fleurs-de-lis in New Orleans, but they are EVERYWHERE.
Also I should have brought about double the amount of underwear I did. It is hotttttt!

I'm always surprised when people hear "board game" and are still stuck on Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit. Over 500 new board games were on sale at GenCon this past weekend. The average non-gamer probably thinks there haven't been 500 new board games released over the past 20 years.

Funny how "you should respect someone even if you disagree with their opinions" is only ever said about people with shitty opinions.

Our D&D session today gave birth to the idea of a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man that's holding knives. In front of the thieves' guild, of course.

There is definitely an implied "bless your heart" kind of vibe to it.

For some reason I am more tired and sore after Tekko than other longer cons where I walk more. I blame the concrete floor.
I didn't even do any con programming, just the expo hall and game room, played Magic and mahjong, and saw some birds, cats, and snakes (each in their own separate area).

A final score screen for the deckbuilding game Ascension, in which I won 2931 to 51.

I could have gone forever, but the game was running so slowly because of all the unite triggers. I had almost the entire deck in my play area. #Ascension

A Nation's Story: “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech titled “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?,” a call for the promise of liberty be applied equally to all Americans. Douglass’s speech empha...

(Liz beat me 66 to 62 in Undergrove)

I don't know how they did it, but the new S'mores ice cream flavor from Jeni's tastes like actual toasted marshmallows, complete with the crusty char you get from an real campfire. The root beer float one is good too.

They will keep escalating until something stops them. There is no limit to what they can justify, propagandize, or just count on our insane news cycle to free them from scrutiny of. None. Zero limit. It will steadily get worse until it is stopped.

Forgot to post this from a last week. Liz caught one of the drumsticks they threw into the crowd.

Rainbow capitalism isn't even rainbow anymore.
