That's nice. Has nothing to do with what I said, but I'm sure it's great for you.

As a kid in elementary school, we read NUMBER THE STARS and SADAKO AND THE 1000 PAPER CRANES, both of which are about kids as collateral damage in war (WWII).
Those stories obviously didn't affect some of you enough.

If you're not prepared to have conversations with your kids that you may not be ready to have, you shouldn't be a parent.

Also, fuck off, Pete.

I've started and discarded so many responses to the rather ignorant ThimothΓ©e comment on #opera and other arts...but my mom told me not to punch down.

So I'll just say....

....in a world of ThimothΓ©e Chalamets, be a Tom Holland.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

There's that old question, which superpower would you want: flight or invisibility?

And there's always some asshole who says something like "Everybody who says they would take flight is lying because who wouldn't choose to get away with anything they wanted?"

Don't stay friends with that guy.

I've never seen a child 'not ready' for realising gay people exist. Only parents grimacing and using kids as a poor excuse to avoid a conversation that'll paint an ugly picture of themselves.

So, movies can cover death, oppression, mass murder... but not LGBTQ+ content? Gimme a break 'n be better.πŸ˜”

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

Hey want to be a writer? Then write. It’s not that hard to type or scrawl. Want to kneecap yourself? Use an AI to β€œassist” you. Discover how quickly you begin to rely on it, how fast you experience creative rot, how you cease to learn the craft, and how fast that original spark of passion dies.

Ah yes, the senator who challenged a witness to a fistfight during a hearing will definitely bring a steadier hand.

Much as the senator who keeps confusing Iran and Iraq and apologized because he "was mispoke" there will surely help restore public confidence.

There are certain segments of the TTRPG crowd who spend so much more time thinking about theory than about fun, and it really shows when this "give me your hot take" things go around.

My dad only ate his steaks well done. He would even tell waiters, "if you think it's burnt, go a little bit more." I was a dishwasher in a steak house in high school when one of the cooks said, "try this." Was the first time I'd ever had a good steak, and I never looked back.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

RPG tip: Use a monster's action denial abilities sparingly. Players want their characters to do stuff.
