This idea just came to me and I had to do it because I couldn't think about anything else until I had done it. What have i missed?
A Venn Diagram called "D&D vs Your Party" On one side, labelled "A Dungeons and dragons adventuring party" is listed Cat people, dragons, orcs, with occasional humans magic is real getting gold for jobs is entirely acceptable seek power through shenanigans, possibly murder Alignment: could be anything being in dungeons is normal on the side labelled "Your Party" Humans (mostly. probably.) needs a miracle gold is good. no, bad; give us money, wait, don't seek power through democratic election Alignment: Left being in dungeons will get you unwelcome media interest On the part in the middle where they cross over: can't agree on a party name 6 leaders, 4 factions scheduling anything is basically impossible splitting the party statistically means a higher chance of party death

Got given these in Sainsbury's before walking up to the gig
CAMDEN LOVES BOB VYLAN CAMDEN HATES RACISTS TUESDAY 11 NOVEMBER SDA TOWNEMBER 6PM KENTISH TOWN 02 FORUM 9-17 HIGHGATE RD NW5 1JV Picture of Bob Vylan from Humble Like The Sun - a black man with dreads smiling in the centre of a drawing of a sun Bob Vylan are performing at the Kentish Town 02 Forum They have been unwavering in their support port for Palestinians, and have bravely spoken out against the genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. As a result, they have faced condemnation, censorship and obstruction from Israel and its supporters, including British politicians and the BBC. Zionists and the far right have called for a protest on the night of the concert to stop it from going ahead. They are likely to pose a risk to the safety of both concert goers and the residents of Kentish Town. Zionist groups have a history of intimidating local neighbourhoods We need to a clear message: Kentish Town stands with those who call out genocide and crimes against humanity and we will not them be silenced and intimidated. There will be people coming to Kentish Town to show solidarity with Palestine, Bob Vylan and the concert goers. There will likely be a strong police presence outside the venue. The known to be hands off when policing the far right and happy to make arrests of pro-Palestinian members of the public, especially if they are black, brown or Musim. The police do not keep us safe We keep each other safe speak to your neighbours and inform them of the risk of far right Zionist protestors and support one another on the night stay in groups if you plan to participate protest or if you are in the area Don't talk to the police. The police have systematically targeted our those fighting against the genocide in Palestine

Is it me or is my dog absolutely serving this look
A black and white greyhound wearing a blue fleece with a lightning bolt pattern. He's standing in the woods on autumn leaves with a little pumpkin hat on his head. He's looking sideways up at the camera with one front paw elegantly in front of the other with the black marking around one of his eyes looking very much like wing eyeliner. An effect has been added to the photo to add sparkly pumpkins among the leaves.

Things that tempt me to try a new place to eat
* Vegan options
* Dog friendly
* Public Transport

Things that put me off
* Obviously AI used for their entire flyer
Photo of three hands clinking drinks together - but the knuckles of one hand are too far apart and another has deformed fingers A photo of what looks like a woman's torso with a plate of food on front of her and a bottle of wine pouring into a glass. Her right hand appears to be covered in blood and her sweatshirt looks sort of like it's made of meat. The perspective is off so she looks really wide, while left hand looks tiny. The food is unrecognisable.

Ok there's only about 7 of them left, three of them are extremely angry women who are yelling mostly incoherently, covering topics such as how there are 70 thousand men inside who all want to molest our children & our Nans would be ashamed of us.

It's definitely coming to a natural end.

Reposting with alt text and a plea for people to please remember alt text.
Twitter screenshot from user @erictastic He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right? Post has 11,883 likes and 199 replies

The thing about right wing hypocrisy is there's never any accountability for it because the right will never hold itself to account the way the left do, because the right care about power more than accountability; the left care about power being held to account
On Capitol Hill, Representative Clay Higgins, Republican of Louisiana, said he would use his congressional authority to seek immediate bans for life from social media platforms for anyone who "belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk." "I'm also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked," he wrote on X. "I'm basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination. I'm starting that today."

@jk_rowling. J.K. Rowling If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. @tzippylavi ציפי לביא Do you include Hitler in that? @jk_rowling. J.K. Rowling Many who scream 'fascist' at opponents fully endorse his methods. "The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence." Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf.

Firstly, here's this image with alt text, and hopefully this won't get me banned from bluesky because check out what Gemini said when i used it to select the text.

The AI can see what the Republican Party cannot.

Gender criticals: don't call women birthing people it's dehumanising

Gender criticals: don't say people who menstruate it erases women

Gender criticals: pregnant people is an offensive term

Also gender criticals:
The image displays a tweet from J.K. Rowling's verified Twitter account (@jk_rowling) posted an hour prior to the screenshot being taken. The tweet states, "If you are born with egg-producing equipment, even if faulty, it's proof you are a woman."

Had to add alt text to this because it's a great letter everyone should have the chance to read
Madam - John Boyne's article about JK Rowling (An ode to my friend JK Rowling on her 60th birthday, July 27) refers to "grown women" who support trans rights as being "complicit in their own erasure" and likens our support of trans people to "being ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her" Growing up in Ireland in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, I am one of the "grown women" he refers to. I remember vividly the treatment of women who did not look or act as we were told we should; the vitriol with which queer people were spoken about and treated; the scorn and shame heaped on parents of gay people; the Aids epidemic; the Kerry Babies trial; and I remember Ann Lovett, dying cold, alone and terrified. The "grown women" of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feels like, and it is for that very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today. Over 10,000 people marched for trans rights through the streets of Dublin. They, like me, simply want for the trans community what we want for ourselves dignity, respect and the right to make medical decisions about our bodies in priv-acy with our doctors.

Did you know, Spotify tries to guilt trip you when you leave it?
Spotify playlist called "Goodbye for now". The playlist picture is a cute sad looking dog. The song titles when read vertically make the sentence "if you leave us now you'll take away the biggest part of us"

I actually don't recognise myself
Slightly wet and windswept white femme dressed as Kate Bush in the Wuthering Heights video, with a red dress and long brunette wig. I am wearing a necklace that looks like a road sign pointing to "The wiley windy moors" and an earring the shape of a dancing kate Bush. Behind me is the sea and an overcast sky.
