AKA "LARP DAD": director of LARP at Momocon, game player and designer, hobbyist cook. Professionally a software engineer with more experience than I really want to mention (because it makes me feel old).
The Sandwich Slinger has been acquitted of all charges.

Let's now see those prosecutors facing sanctions for suborning purjury from the "victim" to make the situation seem more serious than it was.

Regarding what I am seeing about #HasanPiker. A person that you agree with can also be a piece of shit.

His comments of "it's just a dog" have been a tone deaf red flag.

There are other and better voices out there, seek them out and you may learn something new.

Just coming back into an area with cell service after spending a week as a hobbit and my phone explodes with with notifications; the top of which has the headline "Trump increases tar..."

I left swipe and say, "Nope. Don't care. Fuck that guy "

After being emphatically encouraged to do so, I have returned to my RPG project. I have decided to use the #daggerheart system because it is a more story focused system instead of crunchy interlocking numbers.

My goal is to have it ready for a couple 1st level sessions at #momocon next year.

Last night Russia did something that can only be read as a prelude to war.

During their war with Ukraine there have been multiple isolated incidents where a Russian cruise missile, a drone, or a fighter has accidentally drifted over into Polish or Romanian air space.

what is particularly galling about this is that they made this choice because of politics, but when ever you point out their obvious maladministration they scream, "how dare you make the death of children a political issue!"

If @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social had any shame or self-awareness of her own racism and islamophobia, she would resign... Like @alfranken.bsky.social did when she personally targeted him and claimed his scalp for an overblown story.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Just to be clear, ICE is breaking the law right now. Not regarding them grabbing people off of the street... Congress fucked up and left enough wiggle room in immigration law for the Trump administration to do this.

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

I am not so dispirited that I want to leave the planet. This is where I keep all my stuff.

But I would like a trebuchet large enough to launch some people into the sun.

An interesting fact check. Trump wants to sell himself as the Deporter in Chief, and saying that the chaos ICE is causing is a necessary evil to "get criminals off the streets."

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
