The Wyzard

Toldya, 2A folks.

They’ll let you keep your arms until they gotten rid of enough POC, 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 & liberals.

Then they’ll come for yours.
No authoritarian regime can tolerate an armed population.

Demonstrating once again that, by holding that partisan gerrymandering is a nonjusticiable “political question,” SCOTUS set up a situation in which voters and their representatives are essentially punished in Congress if they choose to run their own states fairly.

I'm not familiar with it, but I may watch that specific episode.

The Machine Stops was published in 1909 and predicted Vtubers.

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

I'm sure you have the much more credible opinions of an editor and other early readers, and don't need to hear it from fans. But I am three chapters in and this book is much, much better than most game fiction. I expect to be recommending it pretty vociferously. Well done.

Expect to see me banging the Die-drum a bunch across the next week. You need to get your orders in a week on Monday. It doesn't even need to be formal - talk about the books you like to the retailer, and it effects their orders. Now back to making marketing material.

Trolls and the evil Duke from Gummi Bears

Gonna tell my kids this was the Age of Sigmar cartoon.

I miss fighting over typographical minutiae.

He also made Deer Woman, an episode of Masters of Horror that I think you would get a kick out of.

His son is also a POS and made Dirk Gently, an absolutely fantastic TV series.

This is a terrible situation for an extremely smol detective.

I think I did something like this in an old D&D campaign. You could get an initiative bonus by skipping the reaction roll.

The trump administration has been murdering people off the coast of Venezuela. This is not a small technical thing or an abstract constitutional testing of the war powers. Even if everyone on the boats were exactly who the Trump admin says they are they aren't enemy combatants, just criminals.

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

love your work mrs theranos but how do you walk into this

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

At the time, the Middle District required pro se prisoners bringing civil rights claims to file their actions using a specific, court-issued complaint form. That document, entitled “FORM TO BE USED BY A PRISONER IN FILING A CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA,” directed the filer, under the “statement of claim” section, to “[d]escribe how each defendant is involved, including dates and places,” and to do so “as briefly as possible.” App. 33, 36. And by “briefly,” it meant within the twelve lines provided, or, if prisoners needed to say more, they could “[a]ttach no more than three extra sheets.” Id. at 36. Montanez complied, filling out all twelve lines and writing out exactly three additional pages of allegations.

The inmate sued. Except at the time he was required to file his suit on a form that allowed only 3 pages of text plus 12 lines.

Yeah ... The version in the prequel books is dumb.

The encyclopedia version is that it was about the locus of power and decision making. If that power is in a server, it belongs to whoever controls and programs that server.

The jihad side probably started out with much more reasonable demands.

The hunger Well we just got back from stringing up our weakest friend in the middle of the town square for the vampires to feast on overnight. No one liked the actual doing of it when it came to doing it I’ll say that. But the past is the past. Time now to hunker down inside and wait for them to leave us alone for good. Figure out tomorrow what to do with all these surplus wooden crosses.

The entry in the Dune encyclopedia is fairly interesting stuff.

And compelling, in our present Circumstances.

Horror Is About Caring

Jeffries says Dems "have made clear privately and publicly" to Mike Johnson that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) must be sworn in.

"Why the delay?" he asks. "Does it have anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files from the American people?"

Marco Rubio is going to hell.

This chyron in any other age would have the general populace screaming.

It's okay, I waste it painting miniatures instead.

I don't play many video games at all these days. Sometimes I go weeks without turning on my desktop.

But I care a great deal about a small number of them. The first Control game absolutely captured me. And I would probably fight people over CP2077.

I need to buy a new gaming rig at some point in the next couple years. Can't play Alan Wake II, almost certainly won't run Control II, would like a big upgrade before tackling the DLC in CP2077.

I do not look forward to it having any kind of AI-enabled OS on it.

The judge, for his part, warned the government that the case shouldn't get off track because of classified information issues.

Either the information will be declassified or we'll go through the "fastest CIPA process you've ever seen in your life," he said.
