I'm just a guy trying to figure out this thing called life. Books, movies, music, TTRPGs, and video games are a few hobbies. Currently obsessed with The Elder Scrolls Online. Tamriel calls, and I must go!

This is pretty fucked up. I mean, I know *everything* is pretty fucked up, but -- a polite email leading to the Feds putting the weight of their metaphorical thumb down on you feels like another degree of awfulness ratcheting up.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

My position at The Post was eliminated, along with many other journalists of color hired after the 2020 racial reckoning.

Very likely that the decision was made without any consideration of precisely this person in this place. That’s what makes it evil.

The president, when asked about the survivors of the sex trafficking ring run by his best friend the pedophile, ignores the question and instead lashes out at the "young woman" who asked it, saying she never smiles and is someone to be ashamed of.
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc.

Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.
the thing is, the way it looks right now democrats are going to do really well even by default. dont have to go on record promising anything, dont need to be bold, dont need to put themselves out there and theyll probably get control

thats just not good enough

Many of us have been saying this for years:

We don't care who's named in an Epstein investigation. We don't care if they're Democrats. We don't care if it's Clinton or Obama or Biden.

We want every pedophile brought to justice.

Why can't Trump supporters say that about him?

I hate the idea of mythologizing any particular person but it's kinda hard not to see Epstein as a cartoon supervillain at this point, complete with a sinister island lair.
So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

I commissioned this most excellent art from @adrianamelo.bsky.social I first saw her art in a Harley and Ivy comic from DC and immediately fell in love with her style. I commissioned a Harley Quinn piece from her years ago, and decided to ask her to draw one of my favorite #D&D wizards I've played.
