After 13 years, this circle closes.
And another begins.
Endlessly for some,
The End for others.

Cast seeds, but harvest.

It was a mistake to let the men in suits take over the asylum. It seems like nothing ever good came from putting a man in a suit in charge of anything. The revolution will be brief but sartorial.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

If you are going to call your _living room_ a liminal space, there had best be some extreme Philip K Dick shenanigans or you need to look the word the fuck up.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Is a TTRPG a good medium for social change?

What is the relationship between an artist and those their art inspires?

USAID is of course demolished. And SNAP is about 4 times as big as USAID's assistance budget was.

If the public believes there are reasonable workarounds to SNAP, it absolutely will be gutted if and when it does return.

That is the PLAN. They wrote it down.

Now let's feed and house people, fix the planet, and get rid of dickheads like Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and the rest of the world's kleptocrats.
