When the Trump regime finally rolls out their statement from Ghislaine Maxwell β€œexonerating” Trump, the first question from any legitimate journalist should be: β€œAnd why should we believe herβ€”or you for that matter?”

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants.

RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

The title page to "Under Siege!" features the superhero Lugh, a blond strongman in a blue shirt with gold braces, red kilt, and a white sash, wielding a spear with a glowing head of Celtic knotwork. He's bloodied and facing off against a gang of supervillains with high-tech weapons in a construction site.

Do we know the first #TTRPG to use β€œRizz” as an attribute? Surely one has by now.

I feel like a great deal of discussion around this would involve (or devolve into) talking about whether or not a fetus constitutes "gear you are carrying".

"But it's settled law!"

Uh-huh, so was Roe, until the Federalist Society got their shot. Lawrence v. Texas is very much on their "to-un-do" list.

ICE is full-on kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps, where they are often tortured or mistreated, with no legal recourse or rights whatsoever, no different than some random guy kidnapping someone and chaining them in a kennel in his basement, except ICE has state approval.

The same vein, along with living under late-stage capitalism, is what encourages everyone to turn their hobbies into work or monetized β€œside-hustles” to both legitimize them and extract additional labor from what should be our leisure time.

In a word? Puritanism. Hobbies are β€œindulgent” and distract from the duties and responsibilities of life and people who pursue them are to be viewed with disdain (fueled by jealousy) by the β€œpure” folk who mind their proper place.

This was, of course, after someone explained (VERY slowly) to the administration why they couldn’t build a coal-fired power plant on the Moon.

Something to be aware of. HBO has that Potter show coming, so you are going to see a *lot* more partner deals like Drop and CGE. They are going to market the HELL out of this. They are going to do their best to sell this no matter what Rowling says or does.

Literally every member of the so-called β€œparty of fiscal responsibility” should be asked this question in public and by the media. Constantly.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

Surprise! Turns out Collective Shout's claim of finding "nearly 500 games of rape and incest" on Steam/Itch is largely fiction.

The antiporn group refused to provide any "research" to back up their claim, and could not cite one game, other than the infamous No Mercy, which was removed months ago.
