My first five ttrpgs in the order I played them: 1. AD&D homebrew created with just the DMG. 2. Gamma World 3. Tunnels and Trolls (mostly solo adventures) 4. Marvel Faserip 5. Star Frontiers (I think... it's been a LONG time)

Cheeto: "They said...were you ever married to your sister?" "No, not my sister. Ivanka...Ivanka is the most beautiful.. I'd marry her, but they don't allow us...they don't let us do that. But, I would...you know, I'm allowed to do it. Can you imagine?"

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

#Lecterngate! 😀

People keep asking what the fuck happened with Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ $19,000 lectern. So I collected the receipts. A shredded document. A reimbursement after the FOIA request. Seven areas of potential noncompliance. Zero charges. thetrueshelby.substack.com/p/whatever-h...

TIL that most people don't have a favourite punctuation mark?! Like...wtf?! All these plebs and AI running around with their em-dashes, colons, and semicolons...smh. No love of the game.

You hysterical idiots. Donald Trump wasn’t asking Iran to attack LA or San Diego, he was just talking in a completely incoherent way that we have chosen to interpret as saying it would be bad if that happened. And it’s actually good that he talks like that,

Ossoff and Mayor Pete both have issues due to bigotry *and* they probably occupy the same lane. Warnock is way to religion-coded for a significant segment of independents. None of the three will pull votes from MAGA/GOP.

Newsom has no chance at the nom, Kamala has baggage and has a long track record of sucking at campaigning. Moore claims he isn't running. Shapiro is a dork and has the same bigot issue as Pete and Ossoff. All 4 occupy the same lane along with J Billions Pritzker, whose $ is disqualifying for many.

AOC has lost the far left, but looks to have a lock on the progressive lane. Senate seems a more likely path this cycle, tho. So, are Prog and Centrist lanes wide open? It's going to be a weird, shitty primary season. Seems geared for the Dems to screw-up. Maybe they'll nominate Hillary again.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Sigh. It would have been nice to have at least 1 more month of Kerry-Lynne Findlay as leader. Hopefully selecting a new leader will cause even more clusterfucking and keep them out of power for another decade.

The Top 2 NHL goal scorers of all time support the 2 shittiest people on Earth. There are probably also some random scrubs who support Elon. Educate your kids, especially athletes. Also, CTE is a major problem.

I’ve literally been fighting billionaire sports owners across all of the leagues- behind the scenes, through the legal system and on national television FOR DECADES. My career trajectory, endorsement opportunities and professional connections tanked because of it. Worth it.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker. 

Reacher S4 E7 I genuinely love this show, and it might very well be the greatest show in the history of the medium. Just pure platonic ideal constant entertainment. This episode is so dumb. A complete failure of writing and show-running.

Today, we filed a FOIA request with DHS concerning an AI-generated image the @DHSgov X account posted this morning. The image depicts a Transformer facing a South Asian man, over a caption telling "Mr. Singh" to self-deport and get off American roads. We want the prompt.

The United States: where giving a frail voter waiting in the Georgia sun a glass of water is punishable by a year in prison, but the president can offer everyone $5k to vote for his party.
