This is a really exciting project.
I've been working on a free, open source (FOSS) virtual tabletop program aimed at designers (using Godot). Over the last few months I've been focusing on component creation.
I'm looking for feedback and collaborators - please consider joining the team!

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.
Not one more penny.

Questionable decision making confirmed, I've just applied to go to NY Toy Fair this weekend. Let's get this game signed!
I’m actively in pursuit of finding a mass market publisher for my robot-posing charades game.
Strongly considering a trip to NY toy fair in a couple weeks, but I’m unsure if that will be the best use of my time since I’m planning it so late with no meetings lined up.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

The SAVE Act could block millions of Americans from voting and if Congress passes it, it would be “the first time Congress has ever used the authority from the Elections Clause to suppress voters” @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social tells NPR. www.wypr.org/show/midday/...
Defending U.S. election integrity against an onslaught of disinformation

Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities.
Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

At *the very least* RFK Jr. should be tried for manslaughter. At the *VERY* very least he shouldn't be running the goddamned US health service.
Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.
Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.
And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.

Newly revealed emails undermine RFK Jr testimony about 2019 Samoa trip ahead of measles outbreak
Kennedy later said the purpose of his trip had nothing to do with vaccines. US embassy and UN staff at the time said otherwise, emails show

The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.

Why is this kind of scam "ad" acceptable/allowed? My elderly mom gets them all the time. There's a whole ecosystem of shitty scam apps that get you to install more scam apps. It's just awful.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?
