RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The Gneech creates worlds both deep and wide, where unlikely combinations happen a lot. No other group is your 100% ally, but very few groups are your 100% enemy as well. Expect every level of magitech from hunter-gatherer societies to groups beyond the 21st century. Oh, yes -- and kaiju.

#PF2E folks or anyone interested in a #TTRPG campaign: I have one opening for a new game starting this Sunday in a JRPG-inspired world, Sundays 5-9 pm EST. Check out reviews of my GMing at Startplaying.games ^.^ startplaying.games/gm/the-gneech Reply here or poke my other socials if you want in!

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

Occasionally, a downballot race becomes important. The race for California's superintendent of public instruction is between the president of the San Diego Unified school board and an outspoken opponent of protections for transgender students. laist.com/news/politic...

One hundred percent Ursula Vernon.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Oh my cod! In Texas, they warn people that furries might try to vote. In California, the furries are part of the bring out the vote operation!

Haunted dolls are rescue pets. They are not for everyone. They have suffered. They panic and act out unexpectedly. They have special needs. They are also an opportunity to turn a tragedy into a deeply loving relationship that will last your whole life and follow you to Hell.

***GASP!!!*** Being a furry isn't an automatic revocation of one's citizenship? Next thing you know, GAMERS will be voting in elections, too!

today is your reminder that the 'Guennol Lioness', a proto-Elamite statuette, confirms evidence that humans have been hot for massive furry women since at least 5000ish BCE, contemporary with our invention of the wheel and the first cohesive writing systems

Hey, just a humble, respectful request. For the love of fucking god, stop fucking attacking Donald Trump with blatant and repulsive homophobia. If you think going after fascists by calling them gay or producing AI slop of them in dresses or making out, you're part of the fucking problem.

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

It's my birthday. As my birthday present, could you do something *good* for someone else without expecting anything in return? Give money to someone homeless, help a neighbor with a task, or something similar? We're *all* in this together. Make the world slightly better for me?

The idea that Kalshi and Polymarket are "markets" is absurd. A market is meant to encourage useful investing: people with money invest in people with talent and ideas to create something useful and hopefully great. Kalshi and Polymarket have no claim to this: they're negative-sum betting houses.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Look, I usually try to be politically correct and to listen to all sides, but there is one opinion in which I will not budge: Bunnies are fluffy. Thank you for listening.

Just found THIS in the Federal Register. The Trump Regime is doing this because they don't want YOU to see what they are (or aren't) doing in investigating complaints of immigration fraud/scams & unauthorized practice of immigration law. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

There is a *huge* difference between being a boy with some girlish attributes (me!) and being a girl. I'm comfortable with painting my nails, carrying a purse, or "playing with gender" because I am male. A trans woman is literally experiencing the wrong hormones.

Notice how this fully anti-trans detransition therapy rhetoric is so functionally similar to the "you're valid no matter what, you don't have to transition to be trans" rhetoric that we have all inculcated ourselves to?

And my favorite secret detail: the Intel Conference Code of Conduct was written by an engineering manager who told her VP, "I have an idea, let me bring it by you Monday." She spent the weekend rewriting her local BDSM dungeon's code of conduct in professional language.

Elf M. Sternberg@elfsternberg.bsky.social

The resulting hue and cry led to the adoption of the first conference codes of conduct, with explicit clauses telling men to keep their hands to themselves or they would be ejected.

Then I contrast that with just the GLIMPSE of NYCC that I was able to attend (basically two half-days out of a four-day con!). Holy CRAP, what a change. Here's some of the stuff I witnessed and as I say, I was only there for a bit.

Tales of #Ciclavia: Heart of L.A. 2026. Ciclavia is rain or shine and this time, so am I. My e-bike might end up disagreeing strenuously. But so far, only splatterings of rain, no spigots.

Seriously, please don't be too shy or polite to ask for ICE whistles if you need them, especially in SoCal. A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles!

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com

People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles
