I made a D&D module that I gave away at KublaCon, called the Archdevil's Armory.

It's for 5e but in my own Cyberpunk world, and I find it mildly embarrassing that 5e is the best system to represent the game world and that anything else would be an obvious kludge forcing D&D where it doesn't belong.

A tabletop gaming table from KublaCon with some minis on a TV screen being used as a tabletop map in the background, and several copies of a D&D module made by some hack who clearly just ripped off the cover layout of Tomb of Horrors or something.

She's Kohl's Mom now 😭

Text from a TV commercial stating "Kohl's Mom" next to the shocked visage of the inimitable Ellie Kemper, known widely for her roles on the Office and the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt but widely remembered by Internet Sickos as the "Crazy Blow Job Girl" from the Derrick Comedy sketch.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

We drink their milkshake.

The old "America works best when we say Union Yes" Sign but it's modified very crudely to say "BlueSky works best when we say Jerry Yes"

Big Peacemaker vibes.

Peacemaker looks at a mural of Hitler in front of the US Capitol building and an American flag with its field of stars replaced with a white-on-blue swastika, while Harcourt looks at him as though he is very, very stupid.

Below, the dialogue "Fuck. How'd I miss that?"

I'm sure a huge part of it is about being able to find proper facilities that aren't in use and willing to host.

Staying in Baltimore for the week should help a lot with the time difference, hopefully.

Vomiting up the latest thing your masters told you to be offended over?

People are mixing up two very different statements and arguing wrong, once again.

People are arguing for "racist creeps like this have been a huge part of the Republican party for decades."

And against "Every single Republican secretly holds these views."

"Well they were never racist in front of ME"

You have enough object permanence to understand the problem here. They could tell you weren't okay with it and so they didn't show you.

Because they are honorless, murderous dogs who should be treated like any rabid animal. 👍

This would make perfect sense if there were even one (1) person who was "slut shaming" Nuzzi (discussing her huge breach of journalistic ethics) but who approved of RFK Jr's position.

But that person doesn't exist, Bradley. So you're just being silly while trying to hijack social justice language.

Hopefully this helps people wake up to the fact that this really is the mainstream of the Republican party. These motherfuckers would absolutely bring back slavery if they could.

Hilariously, they gave these to the commentators on the pregame show for Monday Night Football.

When Jason Kelce was asked who he thought would win the game, as is usual for them at the end of the show, he misunderstood the question and instead said that this particular item was "really good." 👍

You know the old saying. Don't be sad that it's over. Be sad that it was ever a possibility.

Every word of this is worth reading. These people are not outliers in young MAGA leadership. The person you are when you think you can get away with saying anything is the real you.
