Three days to make this happen. Fighting every month to keep us housed. There is no fallback besides living in the car. So please consider a book purchase or a Ko-Fi thank you thank you thank you.
America does not deserve our elders. Heaven does.
Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

Evangelical Christians aren't the only people whose faith-based views of abortion matter, ruled an Indiana judge who just blocked the state's abortion ban citing Jewish religious freedom.
Someone had to say it!
RNG has tracked this case as it moved through the courts. Our updated story here.
The original sketch of the Alien Facehugger, done in an almost comically simple style. First figure is an upright oval with a circle on the upper portion. Second figure the circle has popped off (indicated by an arrow) and a creature is launching out of the hole (indicated by another arrow). The creature looks like a circle with six thick curved legs and a cartoonist toothy frowny face.
I keep coming back to the original first draft Alien facehugger sketch. If you can start with that and end up with one of the most iconic designs in horror movie history, then there's no excuse for AI.

A friend and I did this for a one-shot we self-published (CONTACT HIGH, 2017), not expecting much, and ended up getting nominated! You can and should advocate for yourself in the spaces.

i know why game devs keep doing this with enemy design ("acceptable" target, shouldn't be but it is) and i hope, sometime in my lifetime, it ends. remember the boomer in l4d? what if we gave him a backstory file about how he was trying to lose weight? re: requiem! www.mothership.blog/you-know-wha...
Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from “No Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted.
Someone else tipped me off to the fact that she was endorsed by the 4th largest donor to MAGA Inc/
Completely understandable! Good to hear from you and that you're safe!
yeah, it's good to worry if that keeps you safe, but still! appreciate you sharing these updates, and hoping you and your folks are okay

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least
$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.
The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.
They bombed a girls school you pricks

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
Headache so bad got me on Google maps looking up "trepanning near me."
We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api
Every time I want to give up I put my clothes in the trash like Spider-Man.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
