I wonder how much revenue was lost yesterday due to the AWS outage, and how much money Bezos made anyhow. Feels like maybe AWS is too big.

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

I’m at #GameholeCon in Madison seeing thousands of people enjoy #ttrpg and friendship, so it warms my heart to see this sign at the protest in the center of town.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.

This is honestly one of the most useful minis painting guides I've seen. I'll be keeping it on hand the next time I have a batch painting project.
I created this handy skintone guide for my Patreon. This shows the various results of layering different speedpaints and contrasts over each other. Hope you like it!

During yesterday's #DnD game, our party encountered a young copper dragon. As soon as the DM mentioned it, I perked up and dashed to my board game shelf. At long last, I was able to use the model that @goblintwig.bsky.social commission painted for me two years ago.

So the Pentagon wants to limit what reporters can report on, even if it's unclassified. Do Trumpelstiltskins not actually know what freedom of speech and expression are?

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.
Many complied and shut down their programs.
Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.
And now, they just beat Trump in court.
