Table sign that reads: Need a bathroom bestie? Just ask. We are happy to come with you. Trans rights are human rights. There is a ribbon coloured with the trans flag and a heart.

Table sign that reads: Need a bathroom bestie? Just ask. We are happy to come with you. Trans rights are human rights. There is a ribbon coloured with the trans flag and a heart.

In the wake of Labour SHITE this morning I will once again be bringing these signs I made at UKGE to @tabletopscot.bsky.social
I will make extra for people to have at their table, if you'd like one just come pick one up from me. No charge, of course.
Trans rights, as always, are human rights. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

So, good news: youโ€™re not nutty. Bad news: they really are out to destroy civilised society any way they can.

No, I think itโ€™s been documented that this was the case in the US. Abortion just wasnโ€™t dividing people enough so they picked a new issue. Canโ€™t remember where I came across this, possibly Last Week Tonight?

I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re all transphobes, theyโ€™re just willing to break their obviously flexible sense of right and wrong in order to win the transphobe vote. Which honestly I think is much worse.

I suspected this would happen when they stopped just legislating against trans women and found out about trans men too. It is absolutely shocking that this is where we are with a Labour government, yet all the signs were there in the run up to the election.

One of my co-workers has a representative gif for himself in our team WhatsApp chat, which is Homer Simpson backing into a hedge. He uses it all the time.

This is my representative gif. I have not used it yet, but every day the need grows.

Yes, the ads were slightly wider in scope than the other content, so you saw games and mini ranges existed that otherwise wouldnโ€™t have featured.

Congratulations! Best Game too, that sounds like a really good one to win, given that Break!! is, er, a game.

My first thought was โ€œThatโ€™s so cool!โ€. Then a few seconds later, โ€œHold on, who got in there before him?โ€ Nevertheless, great news!

Ah, I was fairly sure that was the case too, but the chance of me finding my Citadel Journal was slim, so pleased someone else knew it for fact. Thanks!

Problem is, if theyโ€™re truly on the left theyโ€™re probably not running around having adventures and waving lightsabers.

I submit the unnamed Force healer in Andor, who is so busy healing people she can barely spare 5 minutes to try and set Cassian down the right path.

So envious of GenCon folks who get to try this!

Itโ€™s been two years since I was able to go to GenCon, and getting all the feels from a distance right now. Hope all the MFC team are having a great time!

If AI was anywhere as useful as the internet was at its launch, we'd have hundreds of companies launching around FUNCTION, and instead, we have a million different versions of the same thing (auto-complete on steroids), and a million different companies trying to sell shovels to gold-rush miners.

Thatโ€™s really cool. Iโ€™ve just started using a webpage for our online game with NPC lists, a timeline, links to maps etc., but I really like the flow of yours, where everything links to the central timeline.

Also, I do need to start start including personal plots!

A woman wore a dress 16 years ago โ€” when she was a teenager โ€” so sheโ€™s not entitled to political principles that The Times dislikes.

CBS canceled Colbertโ€™s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump โ€“ a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Lol, I had forgotten that he did run in 2008, after Viggo Mortensen gave him Anduril.

Only problem with Colbert is his murky Republican past when he was on The Colbert Report. ๐Ÿคฃ

a green monster with horns and a scarf around his neck is in the desert . Alt: A Gorn turning to look at you much quicker than an original series Gorn usually can.

Ironically, the Gorn Hegemony in Star Trek are an allegory for #TTRPG GMs who keep pressing the Oops! Try Again button rather than properly designing the encounters for their Friday Night game with less than 24 hours to go.

What Pikeโ€™s expression would look like if he was trying to watch Hegemony rather than be in it.

Well I guess #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds season 3 is going well on Day 1 because neither episode of Hegemony will play for me on @paramountplus.com tonight.

How many times do you Try Again before giving up โ€˜til the weekend?

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

Itโ€™s more like you are verified by rustysellsword.com itself, which is a different kind of verification. If people trust that domain then they can trust you are actually you.
