if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

A reminder: Despite being a 40-something veteran games journalist and regular in PC Gamer, printed globally, I do not have access to much of the Steam store, because they cannot prove that I am over 18.

Diablo 1 got it right the first time, and we've weirdly been drifting further from it ever since. An entire genre of anime based on Diablo 1 even appeared and starting gesticulating wildly in the other direction. And we're STILL ignoring it as an industry.

"Why megadungeons?" My pitch is that they are a campaign format that concentrates ideas, maximizes novelty, uses familiarity to advantage, and can be run in 2-4 hour sessions. Plus, between Silk Song and Delicious in Dungeon- everyone knows what they are! icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

Just had underfloor insulation added to our 1880's Edinburgh flat.
I went down to clear out some junk from the hoarder tenants here before us, and it was pretty terrifying. Like, super gross, with the added fun of me getting claustrophobic.
Thankfully we cleared out a lot of the junk.

My takeaway from the elections yesterday is that it’s one thing to be unpopular and have a large portion of the media apparatus desperate to pretend that’s not the case but it’s another thing to be unpopular and have that be an undeniable fact

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
