Every time an actress vanished from screens in the 80s or 90s I just assume she said no to Harvey Weinstein and got blacklisted.

It says here you're cauc... asian... Well that's wrong because you're obviously white.

It's because the GOP hates functional government and have fantasised for years about dismantling the entire apparatus.

The guards ran away while the merchant broke down crying from the guilt he'd kept inside for decades, confessing everything, then the party all left without revealing their deception. It was hilarious and effective, always a good combination in a RPG.

The witch's cat familiar climbed down the chimney and reconn'd the house, with the druid/monk's animated pine cone buddy riding it like a tiny horse, providing opposable thumbs when required. They unlocked the back door, then the sorcerer used an illusory disguise to mimic the poltergeist.

It's fun running a TTRPG where the players are doing their very best to avoid being murder hobos. To put a poltergeist to rest, they needed to get past a merchant's hired guards and question him about the location of a long-ago stolen valuable. It was achieved via magic cat and ghost impersonation.

I hear Antifa is planning to hack voting machines, so they'll need to be extra secure and independently audited.

I'm a Tidal subscriber, and sometimes I'll just say "Play me a radio based on this band I like." There'll nearly always be something new in there that I enjoy, and then I can repeat the process to discover even more. I've found a bunch of my favourite bands this way.

James "CEO of Antifa" Dominguez @jamesjdominguez.bsky.social · 1d

There is SO MUCH great music released every year, regardless of which styles you enjoy. The only way to miss it is to wilfully refuse to seek it out.

Not at all. I closed the window down to a tiny crack and put the vacuum cleaner in front of the door to stop it closing. :)

We had the window open last night and around 4am the bedroom door slammed violently shut and scared the shit out of me.

It made me feel like I had become a slightly worse person by spending my time watching it. Unpleasant for its own sake and never clever or entertaining.

It was compromised when a third rate reality TV host was put in charge. (The depressing thing is that you can't even be certain who I mean.)

We should encourage our governments to build the infrastructure that will make our lives easier.

Melbourne train infrastructure was allowed to stagnate for decades. By fixing that now we’re saving future generations both money and time. This is what governments are for.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
