I feel very on brand today.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

@gailsimone.bsky.social Aside from getting some of the Images wrong when referencing thigns, this is quite good. I enjoyed the watchthru on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Ef...

After work, before dinner meeting : we are SO BACK! Humom’s car is finally fixed and we went to our fav #sniffspot. So many smells, water trough dips, and we ran and ran and ran. It’s Fall y’all! 🍂🍁🪾 #DogsofBluesky #huskylife

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Algebra, numbers, principles of optics, medical encyclopedias, astronomy, hospitals, surgical tools, universities, coffee, lab chemistry--all of Arabic origin. This mfer had a brain worm, collects road kills, sounds like a dial up modem, works out in jeans. This is a uniquely American arrogance.

After breakfast meeting : snacks with the sibs and their floof. Humom vacuumed 3x yesterday. #DogsofBluesky #huskylife #neverending #shed

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

Happy to announce today that @mirhi.bsky.social will be taking on additional duties with us here at Evil Hat. We've been working with Frank for 2 years now, he most recently organized the weekend streaming marathon for Rangers of a Broken World. Thankful for his skills boosting community engagement!

This is a GREAT visual representation of what we talked about in our Rules stream on Saturday. Also look at that Windswept Cavalier + Cloud Elk art, ooooomg

Eight-year-old Forest & Flour was a Grand Lake Avenue farmers market staple, boasting inclusive ingredients and high wages for workers

Moira is a big sweat heart waiting for her turn to it next to me on the couch.

South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

Just insane. Possible clinching WNBA game of championships starts at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time on a weekday — in competition with soap operas and “Caillou” — because teams keep planning on their own players not making the Finals. (And when they DO succeed a regular season MNBA game takes priority.)

Some are considering programs run by France, Canada and other countries that aim to recruit weary U.S. researchers.

I mean… OF COURSE HE WAS. Do Republicans care is the real question.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Not without a lot of drooling, at least.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I am trying so very hard, but after 2024 I have so little faith in the American voting public. I really really really want to be wrong, but look where we are because so many fucking people just stayed home.

I want my foreign friends to understand the magnitude of this popular mobilization against fascism. 90-year-olds in wheelchairs, isolated Indigenous communities walking miles, and poor neighborhoods fighting for hours after far-right mayors halted buses to suppress votes. And we won.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Brazilian elections finally ended and e kicked Bolsonaro's ass and protect our democracy. Finally I have some headspace to post about other stuff! So, I'm going to post about Rangers of a Broken World this week As rangers, here in brazil we are literally on an Age of Hope and Song <3

Ok. These ideas have merit. Some concrete things to do in the next nine days

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Some of you may remember this one. 👀 The Staad Attaché returns 10/27 at 8 a.m. PT for a very limited run. Want to see how good it gets with age? Check out the Staad The Verge’s Dieter Bohn carried for more than a year. That patina‼️ 😍 buff.ly/i6aYNn7 #MadeInUSA #LaptopBag

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

The D&D and MTG teams unionizing might be the year's biggest gaming news story, a long overdue move in an increasingly fragile industry. Our friends and WotC employees Vanessa and Crystal tell us about their union's demands, and what they hope comes out of this. youtu.be/WgETZjouauU

„Solidarity is how fascism loses“. Act appropriately.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

The thing I kind of love about the first 5 RPG thing is that the hobby is now old enough that the lists which used to be a flex is now just a declaration that you are old as hell. (Yes, that includes me) I am LOVING the lists that start when there were a lot of options.

I really am enjoying the new Knowledge Fight Country podcast, but the length of the episodes are _rough_

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

My first five ttrpgs in the order I played them: 1. The Holmes Basic D&D Set 2. Top Secret 3. Star Frontiers 4. Elf Quest 5. Traveller

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

The view through our bedroom skylight is pretty great tonight

Meanwhile in the US, if you don't get an evite about the no kings rally, you are probably just taking the day off.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
