$110 so far - thank you so much! Would like to raise $500 for a couple weeks of groceries / expenses for this family.
Hey y'all, I hate to ask when EVERYBODY is on the struggle bus, but we have a family here at the campground whose dad was snatched by ICE at the local airport the other day. We're covering & extending their stay, but they need more help. Venmo @Caz-A paypal.me/ccabb Kenny tax:

Hey Minnesota won and the nudification technology ban will go into effect tomorrow at 12:00AM!
The ENNIEs hiring a cryptofascist who astroturfed the EN World forums to host seems like an all time low, and that's saying a lot.
Unfortunately only I and 8 other people played more than 2 sessions of 4E because a D&D game being mechanically sound is anathema to the spirit of D&D as defined by its player base.
4E had pretty extensive Dark Sun support but they turned it into a big ongoing metaplot thing a lot of people disliked so I’m assuming they’re going to roll it back to the 2E default and then only support it infrequently (this is also what they’re doing for Greyhawk)
I would take back one mean thing I've said about him if he did this.

There's a guy on /r/alchemy trying to turn his piss into gold
My father-in-law is a plumber. It’s difficult to get his attention in magnificent bathrooms because he’s lost in wonder. We were pissing in a urinal together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
It feels rude to use this. This is architecture
I've always had good password security. In college I had my debit card number memorized for making 2002-era online purchases. I have used a very secure password manager for over a decade. My reward? A life of retrieving six-digit codes from my email and phone. Every day I suffer
Not to be the "there's a study that says you're a sadist" guy but; there is a study that says people who drive stupid loud vehicles do it NOT because they're inconsiderate, but because they actively enjoy making others suffer pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
I just don’t understand how loud motorcycles are legal I just DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN LEGALLY SELL SUCH A THING
The funniest thing that Minneapolis could do to the MPD is simply not disburse funding for overtime.
Day ten of the Duamnaid bundle! We keep pushing for support to get to the goal; it would mean a lot for Duamn to get there and have a safety net so he can support himself through unemployment, the economy is really bad and jobs are plunging so him being able to take a breath and rely more on...

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a second high-octane post about Deathbringer! This time, we look at the game's actual sales pitch and ask: what is this game, and who is this for? https://magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-thoughtlessness-of-deathbringers_02053113930.html

Every time the behavior of Pete Hegseth generates a headline, I'm reminded of these lines from Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto, which presaged Marinetti's Fascist Manifesto
Reader, I checked and checked again, and this is Secretary Hegseth’s actual account
This is good reading, but 'reactionary futurism' is redundant. Futurism was reactionary from the start, which is why the Italian Futurists work was foundational to Italian Fascism.
Tech billionaires like to claim their work is inspired by science fiction, but in truth, they are using its ‘chrome-plated aesthetic’ as a fig leaf to further what the social theorist Ali Rıza Taşkale labels ‘reactionary futurism’
linus tech tips sucks and you should unfollow his ass if you already haven't
Last night I watched the latest WAN Show (Linus Tech Tips), and came across a spot in the VOD where the audio was muted. Turns out, Linus made a very poor taste “joke”/reference to Alex Pretti: “I think that’s a dead guy. Is that Alex Pretti?”. I found a recording. (Cont…).
