🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
Monster quota is up in S2.
The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.
Part of me wants to go “boy am I glad I own an electric car” and then the far smarter part of me smacks it in the face and points to shipping/transporting costs that are going to impact EVERYONE across the global supply chain

We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.
In many ways, that was the promise of streaming! Creative people were excited about tailoring a season to what it needed to be, not what external factors demanded. But unfortunately, that was a false promise, as Mike Schur explained a while back www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...
Motherfucker, the math that powers your war machine is ARABIC. The woman who enabled the GPS that enables you to rain death on civilians was BLACK. And let’s not EVEN talk about that the sheer number of immigrants and non-western folks who make this country what it is.
Fuck. You.
Turns out when you are basically a tube of muscle you can do some pretty amazing things.
Mechanical complexity is a tool to be wielded responsibly, not a hazard to be avoided. TTRPGs with very freeform, sparse rulesets are not good teaching tools for players new to the medium. Mechanical idiosyncrasy is not the work of Satan.
And D&D 5E is not the WORST system to start out with.
Computers cannot be 100% trusted doing proofreading...
How in the name of all that is holy do you trust them with picking out military targets.
Impeach. Prosecute. Incarcerate.
And degauss the AI.
would’ve been REAL FUCKKN NICE if anyone in power had paid attention during Gamergate

It was fun even with our passing familiarity with Regency. I’m sure we will think of more uses for our tokens in the next session.
losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now
Unlimited money for the military and the fascist goon patrol, nothing for anyone else.
USPS at risk of running out of cash and so has hired a consultant to "restructure." It's the U.S. Postal SERVICE, not "USP Co."
Good morning! Yes, this is he
The grifting will continue until morale improves.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
It is nice to know my D&D group put more thought into the repercussions of regime change than the current administration
1/ Every 80 years, our country faces an inflection point as the last living memory of the previous one disappears. From the Revolution to the Civil War to World War II to today, we have faced a choice: do we destroy or do we build.
“Are we the accident friends or the murder friends?”

We never should have stopped calling them fucking weird.
