VA staffer accused of blindly approving over 85,000 disability claims The employee was found to have authorized about 85,300 claims — 19 times the national average, and at an 84% error rate.

This man is a hero & I will hear nothing against him. Most of these assholes spend their time telling infantry soldiers that their blown out knees & compressed spines aren't service related & everyone else that bowel cancer at 30 is from energy drinks not contaminated water.

I have kidney failure, which means I have a "fast pass" for benefit approvals because I need dialysis to live. It still took THREE MONTHS before my benefits were approved.

Good on this guy and we need more people in the government like him.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

This is possibly my favorite of the "deconstuctive horror" movies because it remembers to also RECONSTRUCT the genre afterward. Highly creative and...try to go in with as few spoilers as possible. Trust me, it's funner that way.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Grocery stores don’t make money off you, the consumer. They make money off advertising, aka product placement.

Ever wonder why every grocery store chain looks exactly the same no matter which one you enter? The only think that will fluctuate is the pricing.

Now. Some grocery stores have sections

I send videos of David Lynch talking about being an artist in the exact same way and manner my mom sends me Korean Xian inspirational videos.

I see you’re struggling. Have a video of David Lynch talking about his craft.

These site will be YOURS.

Custom home page? yes.
Custom .... contact page ? yeah!

A page to list your wholesale details? sure!
A presskit page for your next game? YES!
A page that just says "you're cool!", go for it! 😄

Yes, 100%! This is going to get first-class support.

No need for platform hacks to get this.

It's insane that creators have been _hacking_ Itch for years using the reward system for this, instead of Itch giving first-class support to this feature on its platform.

i should probs mention this more-- if you make TTRPGs that are single-player or asyncronously multi-player, there's a place to let me know abt them for my show :~) solo, journalling, epistolary, dedicated PBP, single player LARPs... all i ask is you genuinely consider whether it can work audio-only

From Obojima to Ace of Spades and everywhere in-between, the TTRPG ecosystem is rife with racism, colonialism, and bigotry. We cannot accept white supremacy in our worlds, our games, or our lives.

Give your money to Black, Indigenous, and Japanese people who are *actually* making the art you want.

I’m looking for 2-3 spooky or spoopy season TTRPG one shots for my October TTRPG charity streams to support Medical Aid for Palestinians.

If you’d want to GM a game, reach out with game pitch pls

Keep in mind, games will be scheduled on either a Monday or Wednesday evening.

So inspired by @dustehill.bsky.social's After Thoughts project that I hyper-focused and came up with this...

“Patients across America should be very worried that their medical records are going to be used in ways that harm them and their families,” said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor who specializes in public health.

Hi! Epidemiologist here!
Don't do this.
In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
"Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights.
It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists
