I had a dream the other night that I went to a bookstore 😭

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:

This is Victor. We are going for our families.
This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.
This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Boats and other vehicles can have names, don't see why a computer having one would be any different honestly.

Nemik's manifesto from Andor: And remember this--the imperial need for control is so desperate because it's so unnatural irony requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle oppression is the mask of fear

Here's Dexter and Zelda!

I'm playing a swarmkeeper ranger in a D&D game who is a beekeeper and uses that head covering... He's now infamously known as Wickerface.

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Was just gifted a subscription for my birthday, can't wait to get the tote bag in my hands! (oh and the paper too, I guess)

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Presenting the BRAND-NEW season - @dimension20.bsky.social On a Bus! 🚌

DM'd by Katie Marovitch, and as players: Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, and Mark Mercer!

Yeah, this is the level of heartlessness I expect from Republicans. But in the words of the IT Crowd: "People. What a bunch of bastards."

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Another recommendation for the Andy Serkis audiobooks. They really elevated the books to the next level, they're so good.

Can't DM you for some reason but I'd love a copy of the template!

A poster-dimension image for the Apple TV show Murderbot. It depicts Murderbot floating in space above a planet cutting puppet strings with an oversized pair of scissors. To the side is the text: “It’s a killing machine. It’s rogue. It wants to watch its shows. Murderbot. Martha Wells.”

Another pulp-inspired art for Murderbot! @marthawells.com

Yeah, I was definitely a bit paranoid about the Empire reading book 1, but after finishing it (and on a reread I just completed) it's extremely refreshing.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I really really enjoyed it but less because of the plot (predictable as you said but still thought it was interesting) and more because of the atmosphere.

“Everything was better when I was 13” is a profoundly heterosexual opinion.
