A black, roughly six–sided fractal star hangs in the top middle of this image. Radiating out from it are green and yellow fractal tendrils, followed by pastel reds, greens, and pinks. A solid blue color borders the bottom of the image.

A closeup of a black fractal bulb peeks out on the right side of this image and a thin black line, an antenna, emerges from it and continues across the image all the way to the left side of the image. At least three, and undoubtedly more complete minibrots are scatters along this line. Jagged red-orange, pale blue, silver, and gray fractal lightening emerges from the fractal bulb and antenna.

A fractal image of swirling lavenders and teals on a pale pink background. In the middle of the right side of the image is a large circular "bulb" — clearly part of the Mandelbrot set. Several "minibrots" are on the left side of the image, each surrounded by a cyan-colored halo.

Q: Is it usual for FLGS’s to require customers to pay for Free RPG Day items? Last year, our Friendly Local Game Store required a $35 RPG–related purchase for each “free” item. I know they have costs to recoup, but that seemed a lot for a single “free” RPG… 🫤

Trump’s order to hide his name being removed behind a tarp somehow makes him seem even more pathetic. The good news is, his name *is* off the Lincoln Center wall!
A huge tarp on the Lincoln Center wall hides the fact that Trump’s name has been removed from the building.A worker, partially obscured by a multi-story tall tarp, lifts the letter 'P' just after it was removed from the Lincoln Center wall.

There can no longer be any doubt: the President of the United States is an unhinged sociopath. Anyone standing in the way of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office is complicit.
A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump dated April 7th 2026 at 5:06 AM. The post reads “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily[sic] wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?
We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
