It's long past time. Time for impeachment and removal, time for mass peaceful protest, time to wake up. For climate, Ai, and governmental corruption, we need top to bottom regulation, accountability, and justice.

I want to share some of my favorite tropes with everyone. I like when time manipulation, interplanar travel, or music is involved. I am fascinated by fictional superheroes, supervillains, cults, philosophy, portals, magic, science, and absurdity. I especially like cyberpunk and medieval settings.

Last PF2e session: The PCs met the (Whomping) Sanctuary Willow & spoke with the undead heads hanging from the branches. 300 years ago Dannongwarf planted the tree over the corpse of Hexas the Lich, effectively sealing him in the roots for as long as the tree lives. I like blatant references.

The references here include: Harry Potter for the tree type Diablo 4 for the talking heads Legend of Zelda for the name Fern Gully for the Lich/tree Ernest Scared Stupid for the roots Next session is a week from today.

I just DMed my first session of Pathfinder 2e! Things went pretty well. Spent a few hours playing and everyone had fun. The PCs took a ship to "Danger Island" for a quest giver called Arthur Djent. There they plan to meet a local contact, Harold, at a place called the Sanctuary Willow.

Listen to Senator Warnock. This economy is a disaster of Trump’s own making. Make sure that your members of Congress know that you’re an informed voter, and that you’re fed up! 📱202-224-3121

Been doing some #dnd5e adventure prep. So far I have some NPCs, locations, dungeon rooms, monster types, bosses, & treasure. This time, I'm writing everything in rich text docs instead of writing on paper like I usually do. It's been helping me organize my notes way better.

"No Taxation without Representation" is a phrase from the American Revolution. It's relevant today, concerning Trump & his corrupt self-aggrandizing pet projects, war strikes & spending w/o Congressional consent, as well as multi billionaire oligarchs' wage theft & tax evasion.

Yall can call me "Dungeon" Maester now. "That's right! Now I'm a FLYING talking donkey!" I'm going to end my DMing hiatus & run a short 5e adventure for some friends. It will be a low stakes & straightforward #TTRPG. Please wish me luck as I try my hand at it again & I'll post about how it goes.

"Uneducated Democracy" "…In dire need of reason In a truly deaf nation Without an education there is no real democracy Without an education there is only autocracy... …Open your eyes Open your mouths Close your hands And make a fist Down with the system As we lay helpless against the machine..."

Happy Earth Day! My hot-take: Time to recognize that we are in an extinction event of our own making. The changes can seem slow, but the only known source of life in the universe loses biodiversity every day. The extinctions are a countdown to global collapse. Demand accountability from leadership!

If you like dark poems, I call this one, "Ode to Humanity." Say goodbye to the animals. As they go extinct. To the species you aren't familiar with. Disappearing every day. Say goodbye.

The unhinged dementia king-wannabe is now openly celebrating death on social media, almost quoting the Joker and I don't think he has a clue. Even if you are a blue dot in a red state, please vote!

This is what oligarchy looks like: Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump. Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!" Joke Warfare, and this joke with it, has since been banned. And Now For Something Completely Different #MontyPython

Can we agree to say NO to multibillionaires? They hoard. They stockpile. They profit. Endlessly. And the Ketamine Nazi wants to be the first trillionaire? Tax the surplus & give it back to the public! Fund SNAP & affordable housing! Counter wage theft! Humanity can be sustainable. Tax the Rich!

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

The dotard has called for 6 Democrats to be put to death for urging our troops to uphold the US Constitution & follow the law instead of illegal orders. He calls it sedition. Reality check on isle 47. That's not sedition. Sedition isn't punishable by death.

Ignorant & hateful people use "Woke" & "DEI" as slurs. Don't let their bigotry or lack of empathy rob you of your ability to be kind & aware. We all see Ice in the streets, violently kidnapping people in broad daylight w/o due process. Racial & sexual prejudice is real. Social injustice is real.

Team FOLON released their free "Rabbit and Pork" DLC a month ago, significantly upgrading Fallout: London. It hasn't crashed a single time on my current playthrough. IMO, it's the GOAT Fallout 4 mod. And it's all free & automatic to install once you buy Fallout 4: GOTY edition on the GOG website.

I will always support peacefully protesting frogs, that I imagine are living rent-free deep inside the orange man's brain. If you live in the US, keep exercising your constitutional rights to speak out, protest, & vote! #Frogs4Democracy

I feel the urge to prepare a eulogy for oceanic life. The once dense biodiversity is thinning in the toxic depths of warm sewage, oil, & plastic. Radioactive filth will continue to make waves on the shore even after most life has gone from the saltwater ecosystem. Mass extinction is happening.

Good satire doesn't punch down; that's bullying. It punches up. It is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose & criticize stupidity or vice. Satire is not violence. It is expressing freedom of speech, sharing ideas and bringing attention to real problems. Just saying.

An ode: There's nowhere to flee, there's nowhere to hide, The Earth is too small, we can't abide By the AI coming, there's no use running It's either gonna save us or start the gunning In this race you can't leave, there's nowhere to stay, We're all vulnerable lifeforms at the end of the day.

Warming the oceans is a problem for the health of the global ecosystem. But if Artificial Superintelligence becomes a threat, I'm guessing that the hardware is more protected from human physical sabotage, hidden down in the ocean. Like a submarine armed with nuclear missiles. ai-2027.com

Agent Orange is undercutting the foundations of society that support the enormous financial weight of his ego with fascistic oppression. It's not just immigrants targeted, potentially anyone can be denied due process by ICE & get kidnapped & tortured in a local camp or foreign prison. Resist & Vote!

$10 a day keeps a kid healthy on Medicaid. Meanwhile, Republicans want to hand $6 million per billionaire. This is theft in broad daylight—and kids will pay the price. 📞 Keep calling your senators: (202) 224-3121 Don’t give up. Flood the phones. #MedicaidSavesOurLives

The "friends" in this satirical Rorschach style joke I wrote last year now include the tech billionaires from trump's inauguration and the sycophants he found on Fox News to populate his 2nd administration. "Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."

A narcissistic clown, a serial liar, and a stochastic terrorist walks into an allegorical bar. After 4 minutes of chaotic bigotry, the bartender yells, "Sir you must leave!" With tears in his eyes, the man exits the bar. But later he comes back, bringing a group of his friends to trash the place.

The POTUS might as well say that he's declaring war on the poor & downtrodden, sending in the military on US civilians amid sputtering tariffs. His violent campaign wants to grow ICE with 75 BILLION dollars in taxpayer funding from the BBB. Mass peaceful protest is needed. No Kings Day June 14th
