If this pops up during your scroll time, it’s because the algorithm knows you like TTRPGs…so what if you came to my Daggerheart charity stream tonight at 5:30 PT? 👉🏼👈🏼 We’re raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians

Sort of our world, but not. Sidetracked (& Sunrise) are set in 2018 in California, but the main town (Riverview) is fictional. Also no Trump presidency, and there’s a secret side of the government run by magical cat shifters. Used to be more dystopian than reality, but now it’s not.

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood.

the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'

The last thing you should be doing is putting your name on a protest list for this administration.

Ngl it feels like we really lost momentum on keeping pressure on bluesky, especially as those changes are still coming to the tos

Rayne Grimm ➡️Furpocalypse @raynegrimm.bsky.social · 11d

OK so wow not only is the bluesky ceo really ramping up the rhetoric they re now doing so with ai genned jank! What the actual fuck

I don't think I've seen a site self implode this fast since Tumblr

Did this once with someone whose ideas were extremely formative to how I view fantasy ttrpg worlds back when I was just getting into gaming. Found them posting various fanfics on a far-right rpg message board that also had a famous geek singer. Would not recommend this flavor of internet psychosis.

chatgpt? whatever. I’m giving myself internet psychosis the old fashioned way: finding an unhinged individual and falling down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out whatever tf they’re doing

The way they fridged an entire new generation of mutants that was being carefully shepereded under those two, reducing virtually all of the survivors to red-shirts! I just reread that era earlier this year and that duo was cooking something special that got slapped off the stove by a drunk busboy.

I've always admired the condescension with which rich westerners view soviet trained engineers. "The folks who put soviet things in space would have no chance to make the ready made parts of a nuclear program work. Not even a crude dirty bomb"

That's the spirit. Helps absolve us now.

The way X-Men writing team treated kids from New X-Men: Academy X since Ktle & Yost left was disgusting, just one giant sign of people refusing to let these kids grow up and trying to pretend they didn't watch their friends die in terrorist attack X-Men failed to stop, before undoing it offpage.

Illyana's storyline had a perfect ending in Inferno and her dying of the legacy virus was a good use of a character with no more stories to tell. Bringing her back cheapens her original perfect arc and nothing they have done with the character since has justified it.

Neither Cyclops or Wolverine actually love Jean, they love the idea of Jean they have put on a pedestal. The only X-Man that seems to truly love Jean as Jean is Ororo, but they would never have a romantic relationship.

Half the Logan team ups with other characters should have Laura instead.

I hadn't got quite back into the comics when Krakoa was happening but I was keeping up to date through fan pages. I found out later about Beast turning into a war criminal and running X Force like the Gestapo and it made my heart hurt that our loveable, jovial intellectual became so vile.

Travis Hedge Coke @travishedgecoke.bsky.social · 1d

The 90s cartoon did as much damage to Nightcrawler and Beast as Claremont making Kurt a priest or Krakoa turning Hank into a war criminal.

They should have had an extra season and the villain should have just been Cassandra of Troy with an immense hate of the Pharaoh. She had so many more reasons to be pissed after the whole Atlantis thing than Marik or Dartz 😂

If the Supreme Court agrees (and to be clear, the reason why they're hearing this case at all is because the Republican justices agree), it would rob actual victims of voter discrimination of the legal tools to do anything about it

The 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution were expressly crafted to grant Black people equal rights as citizens in a democratic society

The Supreme Court is preparing to use those very Amendments to deny those rights instead
