Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This is a message: no matter how big an asshole you are or how much everyone hates you, the law does not bind you if you are a Republican.
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law. Trump Orders Santos to Be Freed From Prison ‘Immediately’ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...
The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

One thing that makes me laugh is that if we get out of all of this we’ll go “well thank goodness THAT won’t happen again” and go back to doing the same dumb shit
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
Beadle & Grimm's paid me .25/word in 2023. Haunted Table paid me $.25/w plus royalties in 2023. MCDM pays me .35/word plus $50/hr in 2025. Several other companies that I can't yet name, have paid me .25/w. If you want to pay a competitive rate for ttrpg design in 2025, you start at .25/word.

I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.
