Loving husband and father, Gamer, Wordweaver, and TTRPG author. I think that sums it up? Opinions expressed are my own, not necessarily that of the US Army.

@Evan_R_Fischer @DemocraticWins Congress does. However, this restores the funding that was removed by executive fiat, which will help PBS maintain and transition what was going to be lost.

@JackBMontgomery @marclamonthill By that standard, Hannukah is fake. Then again, by my standards, VERY few people actually observe the Twelve Days properly.

Various denominations of Christian make up 2/3 of America and dominate the airwaves for two months at a time. Raw numbers tell lies in this case.

@Craptocracy @acnewsitics Did you really just unironically type the words “unwarrantedly assassinate Bin Laden” as if that man in particular wasn’t the ENTIRE justification for the initial deployment to Afghanistan? Like, the main boogeyman on the news for over ten years?

@EthicsGradient @Angry_Staffer He absolutely was supporting Trump for personal gain, that isn’t a question. This seems to be stemming from the President reneging on something they agreed upon, like he does. A lot.

@FezztheKulak @esjesjesj Are you talking about the manifesto? Because that writing was questionable as well. Luigi himself has never done interviews or claimed responsibility in any verifiable way

[psybomb.bsky.social @JacobKarpel]

@DevManStrider @esjesjesj Note that he didn’t say the event didn’t happen or that punishment should/shouldn’t happen for it. Just that Luigi is innocent of the crime. Given the show we’ve seen (and make no mistake, it’s a show), it was probably not him.

@DOGE Hi, cybersecurity guy here. Five licenses is not particularly much, I personally utilize more distinct programs than that daily. In addition, license sizes are not clean scaling. Usually, that 20k figure is above a 10k one. Hope that helps, since none of you know cybersecurity.

@Angry_Staffer We just had a giant culling of commercial duck, unfortunately.

Former Blackhawk pilot here. I’ll try to describe it for you.

Imagine you are looking at the world through toilet paper tubes, and everything is just different shades of green and black, with stars and ground lights hard to differentiate and aircraft lights that look the same as those.

Then you have 3 different radio frequencies going off in your ears.

Then you’re trying to navigate without any peripheral vision.

And you’re trying to keep the aircraft under control.

And you are trying to keep watch for all traffic, not just one plane. Because there are several in the sky at once and you’re tying to mentally keep track of all of them.

And you get distracted for like 5 seconds or your focus goes elsewhere, like you instructor pilot asking you a question about airspace regulations.

Boom. You’re all dead. Flying these machines is really tough, and the airspace and NVGs make it a heck of a lot tougher.

@0r0wen Here’s hoping for Hadestown. That one would probably be amazing in full movie form

@krosieg @01Haws @TheFungi669 Do me a favor and hire on to try it. Snacks and cold water are less than a third of the issues

[psybomb.bsky.social @JacobKarpel]

@DatRamJamHam @01Haws @TheFungi669 We’re on the same side of this argument. I’m stating the immediate consequences. I’m as far from being a slaver as you’ll ever find.

I’m stating, explicitly, that no other American worker population has demonstrated willingness to endure the conditions. I’m all for the programs

[psybomb.bsky.social @JacobKarpel]

@01Haws @TheFungi669 The legal workers do not exist in sufficient numbers willing to put up with those conditions. They tried it in the 70s, less than 1% lasted the full season.

@aopaderf @JerasIkehorn The people discussing this often call it the Joel Osteen Tax. Megachurches are an abomination before the Lord by essentially any measure. I’m a fan of giving a charitable Giving advantage, but if they can’t prove they’re doing it they don’t deserve to be tax free.

[Mike Morton @TheMikeMorton]

This is based on the counting so far...

In Michigan, Trump won by 79,302. There were 85,069 more total votes for president than Senator. The Dem Senator won.

In Wisconsin, Trump won by 28,480. There were 39,962 more votes for president than Senator. The Dem Senator won.

@d_la_reina The Moral Majority. He was the one to engage the religious right wing into politics and leveraged that into a massive landslide as churches began to stump for him. This in addition to his existing popularity as an actor

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory. 

He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.”

Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy.

Kamala for President.
