Those of us around sports have seen this train coming down the tracks!
It's pretty dire pals:

Hey I just went and looked at D2D and I need to sell $5.00 worth to hit $100. That means selling three copies of my short story collection! Anyone want to help an author out by buying a collection of stories of things that aren't what they first seem?

FYSA, the lead story is not "current GenXers brains are bad because lead", it's that lead poisoning disproportionately impacted poor and minority communities and those voters died younger.

Also AIDS killed a lot of young progressive GenXers.

I'm in my early 60s, I had a 2nd hand Atari 2600 as a teen, and have been playing computer games my entire adult life. Every time I see some variation on “it’s not just teenage boys in their bedrooms anymore!”, a headline I first saw circa 1983, I sigh a little longer. My sighs now last 96 hours.

Your reminder that both the U.S. and Israel are being run by criminals trying to stay out of prison.

it was a really quiet release imo

wow, this is pure nonsense. also pleased to not read it.

news to me, so possibly it will be news to others.

nice!

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

I keep spamming this but John Larson filed impeachment articles yesterday. Every congressperson can sign on to it right now, it’s already drafted!

Actor Wang Yibo as Lan Wangji in his first entrance on screen in The Untamed, walking into Cloud Recesses in flowing white robes like a stony-faced angel.

Racing driver Wang Yibo grinning on the podium at the GT racing circuit in Shanghai, about to get showered with champagne.

Explorer Wang Yibo looking around him as he prepares to leave the small rocky island where he has camped overnight. In his hands he holds a large tree branch that he found and used to hang his belongings on, which he is probably taking home as a souvenir.

Lacoste ambassador and tennis player Wang Yibo, wearing tennis whites, running up to a white tennis net on a green tennis court, raising both hands in triumph in the air, one holding a tennis racket. He has just played an exhibition game against Novak Djokovic in pouring rain on the Great Wall of China, which Djokovic kindly let him win, and HE. IS. STOKED.

Remember this: if we're all dead in a few hours' time, I want everyone to know that the last three years of my life have been absolutely amazing, thanks primarily to Wang Yibo but also definitely to my Bluesky buddies. Love you all.

there are things they could do and won't because to these elected officials keeping their job has BECOME their job. democrats are completely out of touch on the whole, and not our allies in the slightest (and like the GOP there are willing voters ready to defend them for some reason).

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

The two truths:
1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it.
2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

um. yes.

A harsh reality trans men will have to face is that eventually you WILL have to go to Jupiter to get more stupider

I'm sorry it's just part of the deal

Using a VPN May Subject You to NSA Spying US lawmakers are pressing Tulsi Gabbard to reveal whether using a VPN that connects to overseas servers can strip Americans of their constitutional protections against warrantless surveillance.

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap.

Lawmakers who've done the math want answers.

Hello internet friends! I am working on a feature about the people making whistles and popup leftist supply depots and looking for people to talk to; sometimes casting a wide net yields people I haven't found yet! I am in touch with Bree and Courtney, but if YOU are a whistle logistician...

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

I am not linking to it because I don't even want to give the teaser images any air or make the person sharing them think I am interested, but fair warning - the new HP series trailer is dropping tomorrow, and it can get in the sea and fucking stay there. Any sharing of it gives it too much attention

This isn't a joke. Change your passwords, like, right now.
