Friend: ::busts a gut laughing::
Me: …the introduction and first chapter.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

New Boneyard item!

We ordered this sample from a company and found their 5X is very small for our standards - a 42" waist is usually a 2X - 3X - so that's a big no for us, but if this will fit you, grab it, bc there will only ever be one! It's great for work or special occasion wear, very floaty.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Trump's shutdown isn't just imperiling millions of Americans' healthcare coverage.

Nearly 42M people could lose critical food assistance when SNAP funding runs out in two weeks.

Republicans think this shutdown is about punishing Democrats. But in reality, it hurts everyone.

I’m unaware of the constitution requiring any particular economic system. But the point here is simply that billionaires with no political accountability ruling over us is anti-democratic and disgrace.

DM: So what DO you do when you are guests and arrive at a house?
me: I negotiate with the door and then, clearly, roll up with a shotgun to open the door!
DM: KNOCK, KNOCK, MOTHERFUCKER.

DM: You guys did great. You encountered a door, the natural enemy of the D&D Party.

Maybe next time just try the door.

I feel like my instinct to ARGUE WITH THE DOOR basically just defines me as a lawyer.

::after trying to open it, picking the lock, firing on it, pleading with it, we knocked::

Me: …is this one of those times where we just spent 20 minutes talking about a room without trying to open the door???

DM: Here's the thing, you are not a conessciour of the arts. You can tell it's a wall.
Me: So you can't tell if it's a bas relief or a frieze or, like, trompe l'oeil…
Player 2: I can tell it's a relief the dragons didn't attack us!

🕷️💀 Reg Ipsa Spookquitur 🦇🪦 @regipsaloquitur.com · 1d

Player 2: I confirm it's a wall (I rolled a 5, so…).

Player 2: Maybe we can ask what the deal of this place is?
Me: In the name of Argynvost, what is the DEAL‽

Alt: Jerry Seinfeld, wondering what, in the name of Argynvost, the DEAL is with this cave!
