Played some fun D&D today, they met a dwarf who dual wielded hand axes he had named Rock and Stone
Then did some hip/pelvis stabilization exercises before bed (while mainlining the horrors of course)

Can’t help but think the purpose of our government for the last 20 years was dedicated entirely to inaction, especially because taking action anywhere would have demanded action on this specifically

As everyone knows, gamers reward rehashed and copied rewarmed content ABOVE ALL ELSE. So these investors are really smart.
Right, so video game company stocks are crashing because the power of AI supposedly renders them irrelevant. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Oracle stocks are crashing because they spent too much on AI and the market knows they'll never make a return. The economy is absolutely hosed

ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist because vast wealth isn’t about money, it’s about power; abuse is also about power. Vast wealth is a near 1:1 indicator of other abuses, while also being capital enough to drive them at scale societally.
Billionaires should not exist.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

The mind reels at Epstein because it turns out that elite society is, uh, actually a pedophilic cabal and, yeah, everything is connected. That isn’t supposed to actually happen. That’s not how it works (yes it is)!
“Epstein plausibly responsible for /pol” is too much for me

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Ahem. I've thought of an idea that will really stick it to those ICE boys: I will make them super-duper triple promise to follow the rules.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

I came back to work after a few years and a coworker gasped at me in surprise
“Steven!! You got old!!”
It was genuinely hilarious (and 2020-22 IS when I developed my grays)

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder
