I immediately thought anthrax, but that schmuck probably couldn’t spell “an”, let alone acquire anthrax

I just saw a guy on the phone in Tesco. He said 'OK... OK. Thanks for telling me.' He then put back into the fridge two bottles of champagne which he'd been about to buy. I'll be thinking about it for a while probably.

His speechwriter is the first prototype version of ChatGPT

"Siege of Minneapolis" is also correct according to the Domesday Book.

Contrast this with the NYT Editorial Board. Their headline: “Donald Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise”

If you haven’t already canceled your Washington Post subscription, read the Editorial Board on the capture of Maduros. Bezos calls the shots.
Billionaire-run media

Only 11 falsehoods?? That's it? A measly 11 lies, not even a dozen??

My goodness, Donald Trump really *is* losing it

Thugs.

Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom.

Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry.

Cruelty is the point.

Thugs.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

A better Tim (Snyder) wrote,
“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Thugs.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Politics ‘The Right Way’? How Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist Censors and Harasses Academics of Color The years-old 1200-name blacklist has ruined professors’ lives, chilled speech, and previewed exactly how the Trump administration is responding to Kirk’s killing today.

Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse.

Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.

Sure, but I still immediately start daydreaming repeat-punching RFK Jr at any mention of healthcare

Great update with tons of new material from my favorite TTRPG company. Now in overtime mode!

Don’t get me wrong, IS is my favorite TTRG and I have been continuously running a group since it first came out out in 2018. The character depth and detail is hard for a con though, I think.

The GM can have all of this pre-made but it’s probably better to gloss over some of these aspects and try to present slimmed-down characters which still give enough of the flavor of Invisible Sun, which is obviously one of the goals of running it at a con.
