The imaginary ICE Agents I use to try to get Chuck Schumer to understand the historical moment we want him to respond to, were masked and have not been identified.

DHS did release an imaginary statement claiming the Baileys wanted to "do maximum harm" and that the ICE agents acted in self defense.

Eileen was also struck by the gunshots and rushed to St. Roger's Make-Believe a pretend hospital in the Minneapolis area, but died shortly after she arrived.

Doctors reported that her last words were "I don't want them trained, I want that organization dismantled."
February 10, 2026 at 10:44 PM
Some witnesses reported they heard the ICE agents shouting between the gun shots "I will never be held accountable for this! The only way training would change this situation is making my shots more accurate!"

Joe immediately went to help his wife. The imaginary agents continued to spray. Joe picked up Eileen's phone and attempted to hand it over screaming "please just leave us alone!"

He was shot 23 times as two agents emptied their handguns at point blank range with underwhelming accuracy.

The imaginary ICE agents saw Eileen taking photos and assumed she was filming the raid.

They immediately went out to confront the couple, demanding Eileen surrender her phone. An argument followed and the ICE agents used pepper spray on Eileen, causing her to scream and fall to the ground.

The Baileys were on vacation visiting Joe's sister in Minneapolis, MN.

Eileen had stopped to take a picture of a display in the window of a yarn shop to send to her friends.

ICE was raiding the shop because the owner is a Peruvian immigrant who sells yarn imported from her family's alpaca farm.

Shocking news out of Minneapolis

Joe and Eileen Bailey, the imaginary, middle-class Long Island couple @schumer.senate.gov consults to make political decisions, were killed by imaginary ICE Agents I use to try to get Chuck Schumer to understand the historical moment we want him to respond to.

If you want to hear completely, and I mean COMPLETELY opposite vibes from Nick and I (plus the amazing @lmaogracee.bsky.social), you should listen to the currently airing series on @unpreparedcasters.bsky.social !!

(ep 7 just dropped today!!!)
All's Fair is a game where sex and intimacy are an expression of rebellion against a fascist regime.

In a few weeks, you'll be able to hear me explore that roleplay with my dear friend and Quinn audio creator Nick Meyer, over on One Shot

back the game at hornywizards.com in the meantime!!

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"Hover your cursor over the record button."

"Roll for initiative."

"The game is designed to teach itself."

"Our story continues, in the clouds."
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"For purposes of legal defensibility, we need to-"

"What would you say are the 5-7 core responsibilities for this role?"

"Is this a reasonable expectation for this job level? No? What needs to change so it would be?"
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"Just gonna steal some blood from ya realllll quick “

Or

" if you keep trying to get outta bed I’m gonna have to tie you down, and I don’t wanna do that to ya :) "

Signal is also very good for it if you are a criminal or a pervert like me and all of my best friends.

How many birds do you think a major league pitcher has to kill with a fastball during a game before they are thrown out of the league?

Like, it always appears to be an accident, but it keeps happening.

There is a long and well documented study of how difficult it is to cut an act from a Muppet Show. They just go up no matter what production says.
It's funny how much of the Muppet Show special is openly begging to get picked up for series. The backstage problem is they simply have TOO MANY acts to fit in one night. The closing number is Don't Stop Me Now. I'm surprised the end credits weren't a text crawl addressing Bob Iger by name.

I think Jace is way too into Tool.

Normal moves reinforce character, weak moves create problems, and strong moves resolve problems.

There is no "metagaming" in BoB. Discussing the narritve is playing the game.

I propose a protest where we fill their goddammit offices with masks.

I am so fucking tired of these weak willed Chamberlains failing to meet the moment.
Yes. Yes! Thank you
