That this meme has a blank page potentially upsetting the kids is very on point to your contention...
I'm sure that the attorneys in question have quite good email filters. But perhaps sending them a "Keep it up, it's nice to see him face consequences..." note would be appreciated? I'm not a lawyer, nor do I claim to be "trained as a lawyer," as Peters does when filing vexatious lawsuits...
It is known that @cstross.bsky.social writes his novels on an eldritch typewriter made of fossilized octopus bones; everything he writes becomes the charmingly twee Better Outcome compared to reality. He needs to write post-scarcity comedic farces. Just to see the timeline ripple. It'll be fun.
Blonde Guy gives his Villain Name: Threshold! Roxie is held by Threshold's telekinesis! When she screams, Shy Guy absorbs the metal of what's holding him, gets super strength...and, well, we hang a lampshade on the Underwear on the Outside trope. Threshold is punched into a wall and is out!
We have Protagonist Girl and Alt-Girl and Shy Guy hiding in the ceiling grate of the locker room. Shy Guy has to fart. Ah bathroom humor. He holds it in because a character mentioning the thing that might reveal them makes it not happen, due to the law of tension-and-release.
She gets angry! She has a Hulk moment! She's got a headache, she punches him through his helmet and punches him *through* that observation window into the testing chamber. Here comes the labe damage. Also, here comes the Hulk Shirt Ripping Moment. One can see why Disney might've objected.
Those ICE agents broke the law. 18 U.S. Code § 592. (h/t to @rjhansen.bsky.social) That woman (and Syracuse) have a slam-dunk of a case, if they choose to sue. If convicted, the ICE agents are barred from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States...
"Bad" component quality is subjective. I could spend a 10-15 grand on mounted maps...but the paper ones serve and are attractive. (We use masking tape underneath them to fix them to the table), and it's the plastic components and box minis that convey game information. Empty space is empty!
On August 28th, President Obama, who is Black, triggered the right-wing media outrage machine with a personal decision: He wore a tan suit. The right-wing media outrage machine has said nothing about President Trump, who is White, and his demolition of the East Wing orhis birthday carnival.
@baggyblue.bsky.social isn't content to keep taxpayer-funded groping at airports just to themselves, they want it for everybody. Block. Move on. Pet a dog in the dog park. Life has better uses for your time.
But it's perfectly fine for Trump to lie 17 times in 3 minutes, lie about how doctors are mutilating children, Haitians eating their dogs and cats, and draw us into a war with Iran with direct impact on the American economy...without calling Trump's *truthfulness* in doubt.
For the gaming crowd... If you play Squadron Strike, that episode title just made you suck your teeth...
Works great! @melindas.bsky.social -- have you seen this title card renderer? @kradec.bsky.social and @davidmack.pro -- y'all might have some fun. Josh, I'd like one that generated text in the Klingon font we sometimes see, with a Klingon ship. I want BATTLECRUISER VENGEANCE episode cards!
Elliot Page. He's got the physicality, moves gracefully, and looks awesome in a tux. And it will cause a certain swathe of the Internet to lose their fucking minds.
Remember, the Republicans, who made your health insurance premiums skyrocket to pay for this, believe in the utter purity and sanctity of the foetus. If the mother is White. If miss Quintana's miscarriage happened in Texas, someone can claim the $10,000 bounty on causing an abortion.
Now, make the NYPD plead and beg for funding every year. Make them show up at city council meetings to justify the benefit they provide to the city, with facts, figures, auditable budgetst. Must provide lists of all officers who got disciplined and what happened to them.
At some point, Congress needs to just empower the Sergeant at Arms to arrest everyone at DoJ who's violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
If I believed in an afterlife, RFK Jr would be going to hell for his role in this. Up until very recently, around 40% of children died in infancy. RFK Jr is working to bring that era of pervasive tragedy back.
We literally told the motherfuckers this would happen to them. They didn't listen. They called us socialists or communists, or out of touch liberals living in cities who don't understand their problems. All because the candidate was a smart Black lady and their white fee-fees couldn't handle it.
This isn't "executive power." This is directing the DoJ to violate the laws repeatedly. AP's headline writer is trying to normalize flouting judicial rulings to avoid attracting Trump's ire. "Serial pedophile directs the DoJ to violate the law" would be a more accurate headline for the AP.
Advertising on the Internet was a mistake. @edbott.com Perhaps this might be worth taking up...
