One of the things that's terrifying about what's happening now is the number of Republicans who won't stand up to Trump because they're cowards who are terrified of backlash. MGT strikes me as just unhinged enough to not be sensitive to that, which turns out to be a liability for them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN (!): "I'm getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren't gonna be able to have health insurance. They're going to have to drop it."

Is there an official place to find out if your data was compromised?

I've been on Discord for so long I'm not sure what data I've given them.

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification

My AD/HD brain empathizes with you.

I'm sometimes able to break up a longer episode into three or four parts on subsequent days, if that helps.

Yeah. Those loud and obnoxious racists literally make the fandom --and gaming in general - worse!

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

digital drawing of 8 characters from Critical Role Campaign 4. the background is dark and they are in shades of muted green/orange/yellow.
Characters left to right: Bolaire, Occtis, Wicander, Azune, Tyrrany, Kattigan, Julien, Teor.

same drawign but now monochrome on cream coloured background. the lineart is stylised, expressive and messy and the brush used is thin, scratchy and with one set line thickness.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

'The Execution of Thjazi Fang'
First image of the new campaign, guess it had to be the event that starts it all. Could have been so many other scenes but I'm so busy these days I kinda wanted an 'easy' one. :D
