Police who keep their identities secret are, quite literally, secret police. I don’t know why this is even controversial. You don’t get to yank people off the streets while hiding your face and identity and still retain the respectability of an accountable, democratic police force.
“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

I’ve tried to share a post abt each journalist killed since Oct 2023. At first these posts got shared thousands of times. Then hundreds. Then tens. Now they get shared in single digits. Bc each one is just one of hundreds of journalists killed, an almost daily occurrence.

this shit is a natural consequence of the supplement / bio-hacking culture rampant across right-wing media. these people are absolutely convinced their diet of organ meat pills, creatine and zinc makes them immune to colds so if they get sick it must be a conspiracy
Went down the rabbit hole of "fogvid" nonsense on X, full of crank posts about how the dense fog of the last week is a nanobot chem cloud giving them all a mysterious illness that sounds exactly like a cold. Conspiracy theorists are absolutely baffled by the simplest things.

Bard: Ugh, my battle xylophone is broken again!

Fighter: Maybe you should play a more battle-efficient instrument?

Bard: What would you have me play? A kazoo?!

Fighter: I mean, if it works...

Bard: So be it...

Fighter, in battle: I regret this immensely.

Ranger: Are those…bathrooms? In a dungeon?

Goblin: Uh...yeah. What, you think we’d just not build bathrooms in our workplace?

Ranger:...Yeah?

Goblin: Don’t look at me buddy—OSHA runs a tight ship around here—government sanctioned traps only. No mimic toilets since…the incident.

needing AI to make convos and cute dates and hot smut of your fav is a skill issue
said it once and i'll say it again. we as a society do NOT need ai generated images or ai chatbots to engage with our faves. if you're down bad enough for a character they will start beaming dialogue directly into your head and you will be able to hear it in their voice

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

Warlock: Why?

...should've provided more context in case this reaches outside my immediate circle.

People are asking me to customize Barbies to look like their D&D characters. So if you can do something like that for pay, let me know how people should contact you!
