I write articles, reviews, and the occasional D&D adventure. One of the things I wrote even won an award. Also plenty of miniature painting, dice making, and cosplay.

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

It was a Card Captor Sakura message board. Went through a few names, but I recall it was SakuraMB, then maybe Star Boards or something like that.
Okay, let's get nostalgic

So apparently some of the Magic: The Gathering Lorwyn prerelease kits came with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles promo cards instead of the Lorwyn ones.
Whoopsies.
At least WotC is letting players keep the TMNT cards if they pull them, rather than calling in the Pinkertons again.

Block the absolute shit out of this nazi filth. Do it with an ancient curse on your lips, with black lightning coursing through your blocking finger. Or just do it the regular way. Point being: block ‘em.

I appreciate the communication strategy from Gavin Newsom's office, which that it created a permission structure for Democrats to punch back in a way that seems to matter.
But I will never vote for him. He's totally disqualified himself with shit like this. My god, dude. What the fuck.

As a wave of book banning continues across the country, I wanted to reshare this important research from @trevorproject.bsky.social on how book bans affect LGBTQ+ youth. Books save lives. ❤️
Book Bans and LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health
Research from The Trevor Project—the leading suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ youth— sheds light on the harms of book banning and curriculum censorship.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

I haven't gone to Target since the boycott started, how can I boycott it even more?
Dear neighbor,
It’s become common practice for ICE to stage its operations at the Target parking lot on East Lake Street. While immigration officials tear families apart, Target corporation is silent and makes its workers and customers feel unsafe. 1/

Is there anything on the agenda about ICE murdering people, kidnapping and beating citizens, and throwing flash grenades into cars with children? Maybe putting a stop to that?
Anything at all about the horrific violence Trump’s goons are inflicting on us?

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Recent events have slowed me down, but I’m still writing comic reviews for @g33khq.bsky.social. This week, my pick is Uncanny X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social: g33khq.org/uncanny-x-me...
Comic of the Week: "Uncanny X-Men" #22 - G33K-HQ
"Uncanny X-Men" #22 marks the return of Mutina, but also a key character moment for Nightcrawler. See why it's our Comic of the Week...

It is hard to do something creative while everything going on in the world is, y'know, going on. I'm trying to keep writing when I can, though.
Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to finish this comic review for tomorrow.

Guess you’d need to ask the horny teenagers in the movie Gail’s watching.
Gail, does the movie touch on any of those aspects, or is it more focused on the horny kids going off on their own to investigate mysterious noises and/or make out?

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.
