Gavin Newsom: βReview the tape β Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent β He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stopβ

That man @adamneely.bsky.social presenting the most thorough work Iβve yet encountered in examining the reality of generative techno-capitalist AI in the arts. Incredibly prescient and pressing.
And, spoiler alert, THEYβRE FASCISTS.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Genuinely cannot breathe.
Iβve played exactly one mini-campaign of D&D 5e in the last decade and it was totally fine. But honestly nothing is more likely to get me to skip an AP product than them playing yet more D&Dβ¦
Iβm forever reading articles about D&D-based actual plays being so incredibly popular and yet all I the AP stuff listen to/watch never touches the Dragon game. @itsquinns.bsky.social, the Mystery Quest crew, @apocalypseplayers.bsky.socialβ¦all my faves are on Other Stuffβ¦and thereβs A LOT of it!
"too stupid to take a shit" gotta be my favorite dutch insult
βQuiet, Piggy!β Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
Itβs quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
Oooooooo
Still got it. Had no idea it was so sought after.
Image of an early 1980s magazine ad with a white-robed wizard with a stringy beard sitting behind a table. Before him are some boxes of official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons miniatures from Grenadier. Captions reads: Authentic Dungeon Masters prefer Grenadier's authentic fantasy figures.
If you don't have authentic Grenadier AD&D Miniatures, you aren't an authentic Dungeon Master.
I don't make the rules. That sketchy wizard cast a spell ages ago and this curse is now the reason for that Dungeon Master shortage people talk about. To end the shortage we must first defeat this guy
One of the things that the βimmigration debateβ in the UK really reveals is how little people actually know about how other people live. So much of immigration policy fails to work, even on its own terms, because itβs trying to solve problems that mostly exist in peoples heads
Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farageβs claim that it never happened is the opposite.
(Note also the line about pronouncing his name.)

This is utter madness. We have a *Labour* government that thinks it's a good idea to brief that they are inspired by Trump's immigration policies.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Once did a quartet concert with John alongside Caroline Kraabel and Johnny Hunter. Absolutely the most redundant Iβve ever felt as a bass player; heβs just playing All The Bassβ¦
Iβm on a @solobasssteve.bsky.social release! Recorded live in Newcastle earlier this month. What a joy to play with Steve!
I need more people to get into @apocalypseplayers.bsky.social
Partially because it's an amazing AP podcast with audio design on par with that of Audio Daddy Casey Toney, but also, selfishly, I know a lot of cool artists who's fanart would absolutely rock and I want to see it.
The absolute opposite of art. This is honestly chilling, not in a dumb βThe robots are taking our jobsβ way but in the stark staring-into-the-eye-of-madness glimpse it gives us of how utterly allergic to the idea of honest artistry the cheerleaders of this bullshit are.
Iβm glad somebody doesβ¦
I hope the Riyadh festival kills the self-serving pretence that comedians are typically fearless truth-tellers, taboo-busters and champions of free speech. A few are. Most are just entertainers who like attention and money
Probably, if you pushed me to choose, my favourite album of all time.
