Down in the Monster Maze by Discount Realms
in which brave young dragon challenges dread PROTAGONIST to doomed battle

months ago, I released a short (~10 min) browser game-poem about the dreary secret lives of monsters in a dungeon whose only destiny is destruction. its season has finally arrived and i'd be grateful if you played it!
p.s. it works on mobile browsers too!

we're simultaneously expected to believe that the executive commands an infinitely powerful military panopticon, has the ability to instantly levy taxes via social media post, and yet is a helpless widdle baby in the face of issues like the cost of food and electricity
Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

Federal agents do not have a universal and unimpeachable right to perform their duties without interference, actually. A key element of a free society is that the security services must conduct themselves in a way that elicits consent from the governed.

for all they used to moan about "virtue signaling", prayer is, for the new right, performative in the purest sense. they are their own god
I'll be honest I *really* didn't expect to get prayer in the national divorce

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Access to the sacraments is the tip of the iceberg. They won't allow clergy access bc they aren't running a proper detention facility. The scandal that religious protests are highlighting is not that the detainees' religious rights are being violated, but that ALL their rights are being violated.
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
