A reminder there’s about a day left of @drivethrurpg.com’s site wide sale & you can pick up our new issue for just over £2 or get all 7 issues for roughly a third of the price I just paid for a burger at a Christmas market that I suspect I may see again soon 😑

They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.

By the way, we’re gonna need to do this fast. Everybody in Silicon Valley with a clearance needs to piss in a cup within 48 hours of the new Democratic administration taking office.
A future D Secretary of Defense - should one ever come - will need to suspend the clearance of every last person affiliated with a16z, 8VC, Founders, & Sequoia and pull clearances from every portfolio company pending comprehensive drug testing, financial review, & CI screening.

It’s going to hurt.

People get angry at their own perception of what was said, not what was actually said or intended,
Stop looking for fights with their own team, guys
People scan read and react to phrases used, and dont apply the wider context, are i cannot underline how destructive to effective communication it is
Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.
6 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Biden, generally a lukewarm backer of trans rights as President, uses Intl International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference speech to slam Reps/Trump for turning trans rights into "political football...into something scary, something sinister."

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

There are several academics, not Anthony, who jumped into this research area AFTER Trump issued his EO on birthright, had never/rarely written in the area. For what ends? To try to create a constitutional controversy where there is none. Framers' intent, text, doctrinal development are clear.
Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

Frank Sinatra almost got into a fist fight with Bing Crosby on the set of High Society to defend the dignity of Louis Armstrong, who was added to the production due to Sinatra’s advocacy. It’s not hard to find PSAs for tolerance that Sinatra filmed!

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline:
Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons.

The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community.

If you go to a tennis center that is involved in USTA -

Consider writing an email explaining that USTA has now banned trans women from tennis and to ask them to stop supporting them.
SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

And yes, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is an entirely straightforward phrase whose meaning has never been honestly questioned. We know what it means. The drafters knew. Every president and congress has known. SCOTUS knew, and knows. There's no goddamned ambiguity.
It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

So, looks like the freelance writing gigs have dried up for me, I’m now struggling to cover the mortgage.

It won’t save me, but maybe buy a copy of Bones & Betrayals, Silence of the Dead, or the Hero Interviews so I can get a couple of quid in 3 months.

Thanks
