For those that think the US is going through a momentary hiccup and will be restored to sanity at the midterms, explain how you imagine that happening.

The Republicans won't swear in a newly elected official NOW, do you imagine they're all going to just turn themselves in to Leavenworth in 2026?

My time travel horror story is about some technocratic conservative wank wanting to go back to 1950s america.
His experiment fails; publicly vaporizing himself and inso doing fucks up the psyche of each observer, making them lose all temporality. Those not under the delusion are no longer safe.

Every creative industry: film, music, videogames, comics is hyper-optimized to draw as much money as possible from the artist to the corporation.

Once, they offered a way to get your work to the world, but no more. Now they just take, and when you become a problem, they remove you and keep the art.

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad.

Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

He's got the same kind of "dark lord did nothing wrong" hot takes that get normal nerds kicked out of their DnD group and pulled from the MtG table.

A penitent pollen keeper is sworn to a hive; hiding their identities until their life debt is paid. Each mortal threat they face for the hive becomes a chance at either redemption or absolution in the hidden eyes of their peers.

Suffering taught us nothing but to accept pain as a part of life that will only be remedied by death and not growth

How long since you dreamt last and let slip your minds eye to wander, poking inquisitively through the darkness below? Without heed of the danger you pose to those that dwell here. Becoming lost in the woodwork is a simple thing. Staying lost takes commitment to delusions beyond your waking mind.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied.

The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory.

“I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled.

Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard.

“They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said.

Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said.

He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

The game can be nearly impenetrable, and the community would probably like to blame the pricing.

Since someone asked, the most common mistakes for new TTRPG creators is:

-Me and my 50 friends will make an RPG and split the proceeds!
-Once I get into a few book distributors, I'm set!
-I'll print 50k instead of 1k so I can save some bucks!
-If only <imaginary villain> would LET me make an RPG!
