Eagerly looking for some gig work. Would be happy doing editing work (of most any kind—20+ yrs experience), contract review & editing (10+ yrs experience), or writing consultation. Reach out for rates and schedule. Email is in bio.
Very sad news. I knew Rob back in my days in Milwaukee. Super nerd. Very kind guy.
Gutted to hear about the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social today.
He wrote games, wrote about games, and was a smart, passionate advocate for the TTRPG hobby. Gone too young.
Y'all want help fight fascists? Support public journalism (y'know, the kind the government keeps defunding).

In small town Wisconsin, we had a teacher who it was said (later proved in court) was being directly profiled and stalked by he police.

He was black (Tortugan) married to a white teacher. As high schoolers most thought it was “over-reacting.” He was a loud, mouthy leftist.
Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?
Sometimes I listen to “In the Air Tonight” just to get to the drum transition.

Everything the mainstream media considers a "radical left-wing belief" is a compromise position. The actual radical beliefs are things we can't discuss because they're too far outside the Overton Window for most people to understand.

"Among those arrested was David, a 31-year-old healthcare worker...David, who is gay, was wearing a rainbow Pride wristband as he says he was simply trying to pee when he was arrested."
A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

There's a difference between isolationism and simply saying that we need more competent leaders to run things while we sit back and participate in the global conversation.
You’re gonna need a bigger bed.

Hehe. Oh boy.
I've come up with a new online insult, and I'm waiting for the day someone figures out how devastating it is.

Just respond to someone who's being obtuse or intentionally obstinate with "Ok, Fitzgerald."

Alternativeky, if there is a hilarious editor out there who loves what we do and thinks we’re worth championing, even in this anti-autism world, get in touch!

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️
Who here is still chilling here on planet Earth watching the Rapture happen? Y'all sending up your friends with fun gifts?

I cannot stress this enough.

We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility.

If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.
Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social was thrown to the ground by ICE agents during a Chicago protest.

“That is what these officers are willing to do when there is press and cameras around," she says, adding that they are "committing human rights abuses" inside.
Grindr being overloaded in Phoenix while Kirk's "memorial" was going on is a true moment in history.
These people are so unserious AND are clearly being punished into this line of reaction.

NO ONE (and please feel free to find me a case that says otherwise) was punished in this same way for absolutely going bananas excited when Kissinger died. No one.

This is what literal censorship looks like.
I'd probably just hire an Appeals Judge. More of them and easier to get, I'd think.

Amazing!
I am in a measurably better mood after watching this.
Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

“The Onion stands at the ready to act as a mouthpiece of the world’s elite, using its distinguished reportage to parrot whatever the party line happens to be. Genocide, eugenics, incest—no topic is too taboo to find support in our paper so long as it has been approved by a trustworthy establishment”
In Defense Of Mass Censorship
When The Onion’s editorial board convened to discuss the tumultuous events of the previous month, one conclusion became evident: The world stands at a crossroads. Two visions of our collective future ...
