Big Fat Socialist

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI.

“I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”

WATCH: “This bill tells me we do not exist.”

MEMPHIS Imam Anwar Arafat gives powerful testimony against @RepChrisTodd’s bill to refer to the West Bank as “Judea & Samaria” — Coach Bruce Pearl supported it, as Rep. Miller called it “embarrassing” & “unnecessary”

0.2 election cycles ago the Greens were unelectable hippies, one by-election result later they're the 'extreme' Left and a threat to the UK on par with fucking Reform.

You don't get to use your time in power copying Farage's homework and then whinge about compassion when your base punishes you.

Summary of tonight's #MothershipRPG game...

the organizers and lud's family talked to @nbcwashington.com

lud's lawyer spoke publicly about the case for the first time.

you know the drill.
spread the word to #FreeLud

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."

Scream was funnier than Scary Movie.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on the Iran War.

"Spain's position at this juncture is clear and forceful. It is the same position we have maintained in Ukraine and also in Gaza.

No to the breaking of international law that protects us all, especially the most defenceless - the civilian population."

Fucking Ecuador now? Can we get a week between wars?

Oh great, just what this fucking war needed, the US putting the Kurds into the firing line again.

The FBI Is Using AI to Hack Targets AI is a “game changer” for what the FBI calls remote access operations, an FBI official said in response to a 404 Media question on Tuesday.

"I see AI as having applicability across, again, every single tactic that would be relevant to those on-network operations, So it's a game changer in that sense.”

Yeah, the FBI is using AI to hack targets, saying it has "tremendous benefits."

Today in Iran…

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

The US and Israel attack Iran killing Khamenei but with 80 school children as collateral, Iran closes off Hormuz and Oil shoots up 20%

Result? UK energy companies are salivating at the prospect of raising their prices to the point of potentially axing fixed terms.

I fucking hate this timeline.

Deportations for clicks? The Home Office TikTok account The Home Office TikTok deportation videos spark alarm over performative cruelty and rising anti-migrant rhetoric in Scotland and the UK

"The Scottish Refugee Council has strongly criticised the Home Office’s TikTok account. In a statement provided to us, it described the videos as “an act of performative cruelty” that turn “people in desperate situations” into social media content."

Starmer in less than a month: "It is my honor to make Nigel Farage head of the Parlaimentary Labour Party in order to prevent extremists from taking control of our government."

Exclusive: U.S. Marines fired on protesters storming consulate in Karachi, officials say U.S. Marines opened fire on demonstrators during the storming of the Karachi consulate over the weekend, two U.S. officials said on Monday—a rare use ​of force at a diplomatic post that could sharply escalate tensions in the country ‌amid widespread protests over the killing of Iran's leader.

So would that be a "beat cute"?

A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."

A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.

A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

The person who wrote that email has never wiped their ass.

Every day I wake up and Starmer's still a shitebag.

Mutation: Mutations are another exception to normal rules. ‘Mutants’ are a broad class of people ranging from unfortunate humans born on radiation worlds and sent to colonies on the Rim to crazed ‘Splicers’ seeking genetic perfection through abuse of ‘Plasmids’. Rumours also persist of once human Bioweapons cooked up in Megacorporate labs, Gene Warriors maintained as the private armies of the rich and powerful, and of ‘Abductees’ who have been ‘gifted’ new alien physiology. To find out if you survived your very DNA being rewritten, make a Body Save: • Success: Roll one random Minor Mutation and one random Major Mutation. • Crit. Success: As success, but two Minor Mutations & no new Minimum Stress from the Major. • Failure: Roll two random Major Mutations. • Crit. Failure: Your body couldn’t take the stress of the change and you died. Gain +1 Minimum Stress for every Major Mutation you gain. Gain +2 Minimum Stress for every Xenomutation you gain. Choose a Mutation as a ‘Plasmid’ for it’s cost in CR, triple cost for it to be discreet. Mutations can occur twice, and their effects can stack. Coping Mechanisms do not reduce stress from Mutations/Plasmids

Mutations and ‘Plasmids’ Minor (Does not increase Min Stress). (less obvious, usually unnoticed without physical exam or genetic testing). Mutation Cost (as Plasmid) Effects 1 Animal Reflexes 250 KCR Add Min Stress to Combat, [+] if melee only. 2 Eidetic Neurology 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Intellect or San, [-] to forget anything. 3 Compact Musculature 400 KCR Add Min Stress to Strength, +1 wound, deceptively strong. 4 Animal Senses 250 KCR Add Min Stress to Speed, [+] checks relying on your physical senses. 5 Animal Psychology 500 KCR Add Min Stress to Fear or San, once per session treat a failed Panic check a 1 (Adrenaline Rush). 6 Enhanced Immune System 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Body, [+] to resist pathogens, parasites and other infections. 7 Megasophogus 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Body. Derive nutrients from less calorie dense available sources (plant leaves, raw meat, toothpaste, dirt). 8 Hypermetabolism 400 KCR Add Min Stress to Body. [+] Body saves against poison or drugs. Heal, recover from sickness, radiation, thirst, starvation, O2 loss much faster. 9 Animal Physiology 500 KCR Add Min Stress to Health, +1 wound. 10 Stable Genetics 1 MCR Add Min Stress to to Body [+] on Body Saves relating to Mutation/Plasmids.

Major (+1 Min. Stress, ‘Plasmids’ still look unusual, triple cost for ‘discreet’). (obvious deviation form baseline human, animalistic, insectile or even plant like). Mutation Cost (as ‘Plasmid) Effects 1 Fangs/Claws 500 KCR Retractable Claws/Fangs (involuntarily flash if Stressed). DMG Based on Current Stress, if twice (P) 0-5 Light, 5-9 Medium, 10+ Heavy) 2 Extra Limb/Tail 500 KCR Functional limb! Can be taken multiple times, if plasmid placement isn’t obstructive, discrete arms can be covered by custom armour/voidwear. 3 Gigantic Frame 2 MCR Strength becomes 75 (if twice 90), +2 Max. Wounds. Increased height, overdeveloped Musculature, requires custom (expensive) equipment and cyberware. 4 Accessory Organs 1 MCR Gills, Stingers, Accessory Eyes, Crusher Claw, Extra Heart, Pheremones, Ink sack, Venom Glands, Pouch... 5 Voideye 750 KCR See in the Infrared Spectrum and Low Light, detect higher background radiation, Definitely doesn’t look human. If twice, notice fine details at long range. 6 Bone Carapace 1 MCR As Subdermal Plating, interlocks and sits below skin except grows back in 1D10 Weeks when damaged. If twice, repairs faster 1D10 Days. 7 Hyperkaryotitcic Platelets 1 MCR Gain +1 stress to heal a wound over 1D10 Hours (if twice, 2hrs). Uncomfortable, draining and causes heavy scarring that appears unnatural. 8 Chameleon Skin 2 MCR While nude, blend in to environments whilst remaining still. Colonies of radiotropic chloroplasts in your skin allow you to convert UV radiation & light into glucose to substitute food, won’t starve as long as you have access to water & sunlight. If twice, maintain for a 1D5min duration while moving. 9 Dermal Plates 1.5 MCR Skin protects as Medium Armour, may conflict with voidwear. If twice, protects as Heavy and definitely conflicts with voidwear. 10 Full Ecological Adaptation 3 MCR e.g. ‘Merhuman’ (Gills, Porous Skin, Fins & Swimmers) ‘Voidhuman’ (Blue Skin, near boneless, Rad Resistance, Zero Grav Adapt).

Xenomutations (+2 Minimum Stress and get hunted by stellar governments and megacorps). (Utterly alien, terrible to behold, only obtained through ‘close encounters’). Mutation Effects 1 Crystalline Neurology Cranium expands, skin and bone around skull become transparent as brain becomes a crystalline structure that works to Alien means. Gain 2 Psionic Abilities Mastered and the Hyperspace Skill. 2 Hivesense Strange cluster of pheromone producing glands and sensory receptors that replaces a sense organ (e.g. eyes become atrophied, eventually heal over). Allows you to infiltrate the environments of some Hivemind organisms without them detecting you, see through their senses and communicate (if you dare). 3. ‘Hand of God’ One limb becomes a grotesque mass of bioluminescent tentacles. Three times per day gain 2 Stress to heal a wound in 1 minute. If you use this on another creature, they also gain 2 Stress. 4 Void Shell Grows from the spine and eventually forms a carapace with a fluid layer that covers the whole body including the head. You can see through it. Can be peeled off (painful!) if destroyed regenerates in D10 Weeks. Functions as Voidsuit, [+] on Strength, can trim to ‘grow’ around cyberware and be compatible with other tech (inc. Alien tech). 5 Xenocompatabilty Gain new speciality organs for securing, storing and implanting Alien and Human DNA for future use, more easily ‘integrate’ with Biotech. Future Xenomutations only add +1 Min Stress. 6 ‘Hollow Body’ Bones Atrophy and become fluid filled bladders adapted for low gravity environments. -20 to Strength, Gain 2 Levels of Radiation Resistance, [+] on all Zero G tests. 7 Polyglottic Tongue Allows you to verbally communicate and replicate sounds and ‘speech’ from non-human physiology. Verbally communicating with Humans causes them Stress +1. 8 Molecular Acid Blood Your skin becomes a leathery silicone structure (Light Armour) and your blood becomes an acid that deals as Medium fire…

#MothershipRPG forces me to think about what scares me the most, and what consistently fucks me up? Body Horror.

The idea of my form painfully, irrevocably twisted into a grotesque worthy of Kafka-esque ostracisation...

So I tweaked the Military Training rules and made 3 Mutation tables! ENJOY!

That mural at Hillhead is dope right enough...

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Ooh kinda like those iconic Soviet bus stops?

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

If you’re in a western country, this holds up.
