Reading Blood Ties and playing Legion Remix have reminded me that all the classes were supposed to get "Death Gate" abilities for their class halls, and I desperately need some sort of fel portal ability to get to Dreadscar Rift as a warlock. 🥺

Assassination is becoming an uncomfortably regular part of the US news cycle and idk if I’ve come to terms with what that means yet.

I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc.
They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.

“We may have to rename this show because you’re a little bit more than a far-right Republican.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social called out a self-proclaimed ‘fascist’ on the show ‘Surrounded’ where he debated 20 far-right Republicans.

Today's vote in Congress by 81 Democrats to target the trans kids of our military servicemembers should be a defining moment.
Mainline LGBT+ organizations will face a moment of truth when they have to now put public pressure on Dems.
People who say they've "had our backs" will have to show it.

Bluesky needs to ban Jesse Singal. He’s a notorious bad-faith actor who we *know* uses social media to harass and attack vulnerable people.
Letting Singal remain here is a violation of Bluesky’s own stated policies, IMO.
He should not be allowed to once again work the refs.

Lukewarm take: I hear advertisements on the radio daily that say, "The insurance company doesn't care." I see billboards saying the same thing whenever I get on the highway. The same can be said for the vast majority of Americans.
But we're expected to care about them? Make it make sense.

Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die.

We’ve had data for years showing Black children are constantly aged-up by white adults in order to justify carceral constraint and bias, that girls start getting sexually propositioned by grown men before they hit puberty, that these fiends can’t let trans kids just be kids either is the pattern
