The opposite of woke is willful ignorance. Gen X, mostly TTRPGs and politics. BLM. Sex work is work. TERFs are trash. Fetuses aren’t people. Fascism is bad, actually. Leguminati. He/him.

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Right on the money.

My mother had these two sayings she used all the time:

1) "He's made up his mind, don't try to confuse him with facts."

2) "If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."

Jesus Horatio Christ, is this the cause of the “confusion” I was hearing about?

It occurs to me that "this is Armageddon" is actually a good justification for nuclear war. Nobody ever launches nukes because of mutually-assured destruction, radiation, nuclear winter, all that. But if the world is gonna end anyway, then hell, why not?

Just to clarify: does he actually say he's going to run? Or does he just say he wants a third term, he ought to have one, lot of people are saying?

Because those imply two very different scenarios.

04.03.2026 03:03 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

I think those are both true, honestly.

"The key, she said, is to understand that there are always trade offs, and there would have been weapons or tools the military would have been unable to fund had it upgraded its ammunition production facilities."

Am I out of line to be side-eyeing the mountains of money spent on the F-35 program?

Ohhh. He means the Bush Doctrine. Because that worked out SO great last time.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

I’m so glad sci-fi is purely fictional stories, and it never delves into real-world stories or politics in any way.

Never mind Reveille, let’s wake up the whole post every morning with Yakkety Sax.

Yep. Once the Supreme Court rules, we either have to spend decades coming at it from different angles (like how the Heritage Foundation finally took down Roe v Wade), or we need a Constitutional amendment outlawing it directly.

This was a YA program--my players were ages 12-18. The oldest kids were veteran D&D kids, and if people annoyed them too much, they'd just gang up and kill their characters. Which was shitty, and I didn't reward them for that, but it *did* make the rest more manageable.

Oh, that rules.

When I was in high school, I ran a twice-yearly D&D tournament as a library program. I usually got 10-20 kids. (I always begged for less, but it's a library program, and the library wanted as many kids as possible to participate.)

I read this, and I IMMEDIATELY remembered the scene you were talking about. Like OMG.

So I went to look it up, and...I'm not sure who to trust any more. Like the CDC article about it was published in December of 2025, under RFK Jr. Should I trust what that wackadoo says about breast milk?

I'd never heard of STV before now. I'll have to do some homework before I form an opinion one way or the other.

I did mention that in the comments, yes.
