Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains
By: Ray Bradbury

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!
In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two
cool glasses of milk.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake.
"Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

Woulja look addat? It’s the kinda thing we already know, and is useful to have actual evidence for, but still doesn’t seem to move the needle regardless because transphobes don’t care about facts, and governments don’t have the spine to stand up to the TERFs.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

Caving in to bullies does two things: - it legitimizes them - your apology can be seen as an admission of guilt if you say you fucked up and caused damage Congrats, Amnesty. By caving in, you made the bully stronger and gave them the ammo to attack you AND cause trans people further harm.

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

So. Hum. Turns out it was as I heard and feared. It is that price. And the gangers are basically dual-build like the Orks in Armageddon.

I can’t imagine paying $165 USD for the new #Necromunda starter. Hive War was a better deal… :-/ You get a poster mat, only four pipes, and 2 pre-made gangs of 8 minis. I feel deflated now. I expected something closer to the Kill Team Starter. Instead, it’s a whopping $50 USD more. #nerdlings

Jeanne Gibson, known worldwide as Rosie the Riveter, passed away on 29th July 2026 at the remarkable age of 100. Thank you Jeanne for giving women a symbol of strength when we were told we had none. 💋💪🏻💘

Parents of trans youth in Alberta, alongside advocacy groups, are calling for a federal government inquiry into the province's harmful trampling on the rights of trans youth. Because Carney has been all smiles alongside Alberta Premier Danielle Smith lately -- and silent on her deadly policies:
