"Dayto's appearance is based on that of American actor and comedian Robin Williams (1951-2014); Williams was known for his love of the series"

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster
Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

When Hasbro experimented with 4th Edition (which was less bad and more too radical a change for most of the community), the OGL let Pathfinder eat its lunch.
So what if Musk eats Hasbro? Role-playing is beyond his ability to control. Saurons like him will never understand what magic really is.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Sure, every* game company** is using AI... but using it well? Is it actually helping with ANYthing? Or is it driven by a need to have AI deliver early on the promise of substituting for human labour because there's no other problem it solves?

‘Existential threat to democracy’: Reagan-appointed judge resigns and condemns Trump — “What Nixon did episodically and covertly, knowing it was illegal or improper, Trump now does routinely and overtly,” Judge Mark L. Wolf wrote.

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

The sheer, fracking, nerve of sending this out after Sunday's vote.

No, the @democraticparty.bsky.social gets nothing from us until they address the mess they've made.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long.
How *is* Trump's health, anyway? He sure seems desperate to enjoy his wealth and power while he can, holding Versailles parties in Mar-a-Lago now of all times. Maybe someone urged him to do this before he needed an autopen for it.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Trump "has expressed such outrage at attacks on Christians in Nigeria that he has threatened military intervention there... but here’s the awkwardness: Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are." @nickkristof.bsky.social
