Blood pressure pro tip: expend energy giving money to the DSA rather than ranting about Dem leadership. This is just a note to self.

It’s cool cool to not like D&D. I get it 150%. No shade.
But gosh I forgot how irritating it is to have people unsolicited rant at you about how people “really don’t want to play D&D” like it’s 1995 or 2005 or 2015 or….
Get new ideas. Please. I’m BEGGING you. Hating D&D isn’t a personality.

Friends don't let friends follow Alt National Park Service. This is so weird and inappropriate!!!
AltNPS's post is full of the same lurid details and breathless dramatization as their previous attempt at ICE raid erotica from a few weeks ago.
Things that AltNPS could not possibly have witnessed, and which aren't reported anywhere else.

This one is personal to me.
AltNPS posted, so far only on Facebook, an extended piece of manipulative fanfiction about the recent abduction of a woman at a Chicago daycare center by ICE agents.
The video, which you've likely already seen, is horrific.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does:

Wow. In another huge upset, Mesmero, the Master of Mentalism, has been elected mayor of Chicago. Political pundits are shocked - he’s a first-time candidate who barely spent anything on advertising, and there wasn’t even an election scheduled for today

Cuomo, speaking at his election party, says it's important to note that nearly half of the electorate DIDN'T vote for Mamdani. Then he says that "our strength is our unity." (?)

As you celebrate Mamdani’s victory, I want to take in that it was not a victory for the Democratic Party. He won in spite of the party.
