Today is the last day of camp and I sent the kids to a Red Wizard enclave on a mission to spy on them and see what the Thayans are up to. But the kids don’t know it’s actually just a bunch of scam artists with no magical powers selling fake or useless magic items.
It almost feels like it’s a huge flaw in our governmental structure that the president is in charge of the apparatus that could investigate his own crimes.
Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act. Trump vetoed it. Congress overrode his veto on a bipartisan vote. So Trump has decided to simply not enforce the law. I do not understand the role of Congress anymore. I guess they just make suggestions?
So is there like a secret code hidden in the AFC Richmond Guest WiFi password?
I’ve had laryngitis since Thursday, spent the weekend drinking throat coat and a weird Chinese herbal honey VO actor connections of mine swear by. had to DM on Friday without a voice. So, I made due by limiting when I spoke, relying on old pre-AI TTS generators, having kids read blocks of text &:
Ted Lasso naming a coach Alice Chilton *has* to be an intentional Replacements/Ben Folds Five mashup joke, yes?
Me: I’m sure the guy playing Lex Luther in the Superman movies definitely just needed the TV money offered, so he just had to do the TERF show. Obv. Also me: By the way, I was being sarcastic. Marge Simpson: Well, duhhhhh.
Had a wild character death happen at the table today. Last week of camp, kid playing a Wild Magic Sorcerer. He gets the WM surge where you have to roll for a surge at the start of every turn for the next minute. Combat ends, but we have to stay in rounds to resolve the remainder of these.
Children are asking questions so we have to remove all the trans people so children go back to their natural state of never asking questions.
They straight up encourage employment discrimination. The teacher didn't do anything at all wrong. Literally just existing and working until the online mob decided to make them the new target.
Here's what it looked like in case you would also like to send a message to AI companies
Ahhh, Oregon

Hey @jessethorn.bsky.social, I thought your recent Put You On with @dieworkwear.bsky.social was really fantastic, and I genuinely would listen to a whole series with your evergreen advice for getting started building a menswear wardrobe!
One of my players was at a different DM’s table last week and that DM let him make a blood pact with one of the final monsters in this adventure. I decided to let it carry over. They’re fighting that monster now. It opened by casting a no-save Dominant Person on that character. 😈
a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time
This woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo... On the up side...
Well, I mean, it was nonsense
I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...
They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time
in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Geno is out at Hadestown. FIFA has backed down from the Kushner deal. Unique Vintage has abandoned their HP collab. Been a good week for collective power. Raise your voices, y’all!
I’m sure sitting in a car while your dad ignores you and has a robot take in you instead will lead to axconfident, well-adjusted generation of humans.
As a Star Wars/KOTOT fan I’m excited to revisit a d20 RPG system. As a DM for kids I’m already dreading having to say “no for the last time you can’t play a Sith in Neverwinter.”
i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
enough of this shit

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.
Why is everything so transparently evil now?
Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t what they would have done anyway? Saying they’ll sell through their remaining stock of their collaboration designs for a collection they just launched sure just sounds like they’re gonna keep quietly selling licensed HP merch.
11 years ago Unique Vintage hand delivered a dress to my door to celebrate my first 6 months of being on HRT when I was still a fashion blogger/model of sorts. Today they emailed me advertising yet another Harry Potter collab despite having previous backlash from one. I’ll never shop UV again.
Love actually hearing from Anais Mitchell why they end Act 1 of Hadestown with Why Do We Build the Wall instead of Wait For Me
Me: Patrick Page is more spry on a boot than I am without one. My friend: he was probably on a shit ton of pain killers. Me: Patrick Page is more spry on a shit ton of pain killers than I am without them.
Honestly no one of my generation should be allowed to act like gender and sex aren’t able to change because every single goddamn one of us has seen Jurassic Park.
Idk guys. I really like Ryan Gosling and it just feels like someone should cast him in something big.
