I might see fascists lose power in my lifetime but I likely won’t see us recover what we’ve lost and that’s a lot to think about

SHIVERS [Easy: Failure] — The door ahead beckons. You hear a whisper, but you can't make out what it is. Your feet move on their own, and your sluggish steps take you to the roof. Why are you up here? What year is it? And why is the sun so bright? You look down. Reporters are shouting.

Wait until they find out about libraries!

What I think gets lost in the surface-level discussion of redistricting and gerrymandering is that the House is very arbitrarily at 435 members. It can be expanded, and probably should be. That cap was set when population was about 200k per rep--now it's nearly 700k per rep.

Today was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Almost $5k over 12 hours, y'all turned the fuck up

We can keep pumping those numbers though! The donation link will be kept open through Wednesday, so if you didn't see it or couldn't donate today there's still plenty of time to help!

Ah, shit, that I don't know. I feel like Delver Lens is a thing? But I've never been a scanning app user.

Dumb idea or dumbest idea: Quantum Riddler and Birthing Ritual.

I switched over to manapool when TCGplayer did their big union bust earlier this year. Less selection on some things, but prices are pretty comparable otherwise and I haven't run into any issues yet

So apparently the Oklahoma state superintendent is claiming what was on his screen was not porn?

I wonder if there's any video out there that someone could use to cross-reference and prove him wrong lol.

Does the View Askewniverse count?

Damn, setting up to outdo Bettman even.

Going from "I never wanted to go to DC" to "I thought about it, prayed about it" really hits as a "hometown boy called to something bigger Mr. Smith type thing", which--whether it's calculated or not--resonates with people. In addition to his track record in NC, it's a good starting point.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Oh man, Tom Lehrer died. Bummer.

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.
