We need Democrats to pledge that they will be every bit as ruthless as Republicans fear we will be.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in history. If we don't hold people accountable—with real, serious consequences—it will only be worse next time.

screenshot of April 21 Wash PO editorial board: "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

Slight correction. In the alt text for the art going across the fold, I say 3 Radiants and I didn't realize at first only 2 are cuz it's Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin in his Shardplate

as a trans woman, this is also how i feel

During Trumps first admin I interviewed Carlson and talked to him about how his rhetoric specifically hurt my life and he treated it like a big joke. Remorse that only comes when it’s convenient isn’t remorse at all.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Art from the Stormlight Handbook for Cosmere RPG. It shows Szeth in the opening scenes from Way of Kings. He's running along a wall, having just slashed his honorblade through a couple guards, their eyes burning with black smoke. Szeth'$ eyes and mouth glow with Stormlight and his white clothes move with the wind as he runs

Ok this one is my favorite I think

Thanks for the tip!

Art of a friendly axehound from the Stormlight Handbook for Cosmere RPG. An axehound is a creature from the Stormlight Archive. This one has coloring very much like a crab, red and orange with lighter beige or tan underside, and has 6 segmented legs like an insect. Along the back and underside it has segmented plates like armor. It has a tail with kind of a rounded webbed fin at the end. It has a face also like an insect with mandibles and exoskeleton with two solid color eyes. It also has antennae somewhat like a moth, soft and tufted. In my opinion, it does appear to be friendly and non-threatening despite being a theoretically large insectoid creature

OH MY GOD

The inside cover art for the Stormlight Handbook for Cosmere RPG. It spans across the fold, depicting a fight between 3 Radiants and a variety of enemy Singers and Fused from the Stormlight Archive series

A picture of art from the Stormlight Handbook for Cosmere RPG. It shows a Windrunner holding a spear, flying through the air with what appears to be multiple windspren flying beside them

Art of a Singer in artform from the Stormlight Handbook for Cosmere RPG. It depicts a femalen Singer in artform holding a paintbrush. She has red carapace reminiscent of netting in shelves on her arm pointing outward, as well as on her head, allowing her hairstrands to fall beneath it

I mean come ON. I'm especially loving all the Singer art. They're so cool!

I haven't even started reading cuz I'm just flipping through, looking at the art and repeating "Oh my god! Oh my gaaaawwwd!!" It's so damn good, every single piece

This just arrived! So excited to dig in and hopefully find a group! #StormlightArchive #CosmereRPG

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The original post is by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) and reads: "Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a 'right' to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only 'right' at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father." Jenna Ellis (@realJennaEllis) replies: "This same logic is the reason Obergefell should be overturned. Two men do not have a 'right' to be married either." Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) replies to Jenna Ellis: "Absolutely" The bottom of the screenshot shows the timestamp: 1:28 PM · Apr 19, 2026.

All the transphobic pick me gays will have it coming when they're done with us.

We told you so.

Me: it is ludicrous as a premise to have some guy patroling like 15 blocks of manhattan

Also Me: if a guy dressed as a devil wanted to beat up ICE agents I and everyone in this bar would let him

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

leftists are my greatest adversary because they are destroying america destroying america or being rude to you online? being rude to me online

Daisy Ridley’s Instagram Story: “The death sentences of 12,000 Palestinian prisoners have been approved. 4,000 of them are children. For wanting to live in their homeland and for defending their occupied territories, a total of 400,000 Palestinians have been martyred over the past 78 years. Now, 12,000 more people will be executed in full view of the world. The executions will take place within 90 days. Please don't be silent. If humanity doesn't rise up today, when will it? If we don't show our humanity today, when will we? Please don't stay silent. Share. Oppose these executions...”

Casually playing Breakdown by Tessa Violet in my head while I break down pallets at work

El texto 'mejor hecho con cariño que con IA' sobre fondo rosa, rodeado de distintos dibujos y bocetos descartados, lápices y abajo derecha una paloma orgullosa de un dibujo de una flor

Así, en resumen ✏️

I just keep repeating in my head "you want teenagers... Children... To give birth. You want children to give birth."
And she's saying it out loud.

I shouldn't be surprised given everything else these people support, but somehow I am.

1) Summarily arrest every member of ICE.

2) Hold them in exactly the same conditions and locations they've been holding people.

3) Put them all on a registry barring them from future authority.

4) Release them once it's been verified that they personally have committed no crimes against humanity.

There appears to be a pattern of sorts happening in the U.S. The national media isn’t covering many of these fires happening across the country. However, local media networks are and you have to search for them. This is what I’ve found so far.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

and I wake in the morning
and I step outside and I
take a deep breath and I
get really high and I
scream at the top of my lungs,

The most destructive intersection of alt text and AI isn’t that the former is being used to train the latter.

It’s that people are really excited to use AI to produce alt text, which it is generally very bad at, and expect blind folks to be grateful for it, even though it’s shit.
