When you make a character shorter you've gotta preserve their total surface area, so yes, it IS in fact necessary to also give them a fatter ass. It's just math.

[marx voice] the signals that you use to signal your excellence within the group are often precisely the signals that out-groups will process negatively
(It also seems very much like his struggle is an object lesson in “things Online People think are fine and dismiss as ‘just how everyone talks in online spaces’ can actually be weaponized highly effectively in real world campaigns.”
Defintely no other current politicians that may be relevant to.)

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Initial thoughts on The Lions of Tell-Arn Part II:
- A tad over-formatted
- Sometimes missing gameable info (you're telling me those tarnished silver rods have no treasure value?)
- Missed opportunities to give NPCs/monsters personality, esp. for the living giant

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.
JD Vance: "We're in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton ... if we think Ambassador Bolton committed a crime, of course eventually prosecutions will come ... there's a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton."

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

It is your patriotic duty to fill out this survey. You don’t care that it costs the government money and you’re very likely to use it under any circumstance.
Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:
IRS asks for public input on free tax filing options to inform congressional report | Internal Revenue Service
IR-2025-85, Aug. 21, 2025 — The IRS invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.

This is not something that elected Democrats can fix for you! This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the pitfalls of living in a free society!
Additionally, during Trumps first term, I was driven off of a progressive social media site for identifying myself as a woman. The reason for the pile-on: I had made transwomen uncomfortable. Convo had nothing to do with trans issues - it was a FB science group and the topic was medically related.
