I used to ride motorcycles and write about them. Now I have a kid. So while I still ride motorcycles I don't have as much time to write about them. My Priorities are clearly off.
Oh, I've been playing RPGs since I was 10 and MtG since 1994

Sure Magic doesn't have, & likely will never have, direct Harry Potter crossovers in it. But it's pretty difficult to stomach putting money directly into a game which is the load bearing product for a company financing The Ghoul Rowling's anti-trans crusade.
Hasbro and Warner Bros. Discovery have signed a multi-year deal starting in 2027 to produce Harry Potter film and television series dolls, role play, action figures, collectibles, interactive plush, board games, and more to be revealed later this year - bwnews.pr/45UKdKL

Fascinating research on how often and for what reasons female economists are interrupted while presenting their work. Obviously this has applications outside economics. Nice to see actual hard data backing this up, instead of being gaslit about how it's all in our minds.
Here’s what they found:

Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.

Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

It's hard to accurately express how much danger America is in right now without sounding hysterical, but Senator Van Hollen does a pretty good job of it here.
Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms.

In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections.

We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders.

Our call to action is simple:

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

I have bought all the Ice Outs I can find locally and will be posting some of these cards around town.

I know it's the smallest of small things, but I feel like this card is a good way to spread the message. People are being kidnapped and cruelly murdered in the streets. Fuck ICE.

these ICE pigs
no flowers will bloom
from these ICE pigs
their plot will be salted by their very presence
these ICE pigs must not know peace, nor rest
give them hell, so they fear

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
