Since they want to amend the Utah constitution: how about an amendment that only allows people with "female" on their government ID to vote for issues that would limit women's access to abortion or other healthcare?

"I don't know what you want me to do - I don't control the weather!" I say to my sad dog as I step into the bathroom, flip a switch that turns on a miniature sun and proceed to cause it to rain in the shower.

After a long hiatus, I finally got a #BloodBowl game in! My #ImperialNobility Menshenfresserhoffen Husserls vs. #ElvenUnion. The elves' roster is terrible, but their coach is one of the best there is. It ended in a 2-2 tie, which is good enough for me! #WarhammerCommunity #FantasyFootball #Nerdity

An Imperial Nobility Blood Bowl team resplendent in purple and yellow with teal accents and khaki stone bases faces off against yellow and blue Elven Union on their grassy bases with chunky, white "skill rings". The pitch is the Old World Alliance pitch with bone-coloured stone and a purple shield with an American football on it and crossed swords behind in the pitch centre.

Are we still arguing about whether to call the current government fascist? Because livestreaming a public execution by firing squad is literally what facism looks like.

Attn: A FBI supervisor is blowing the whistle on the Trump administration’s targeting of anti-ICE protesters. Jill Fields states the White House pushed the FBI to investigate people in Los Angeles even after agents determined their actions were protected by the First Amendment.

As my employer continues their crusade to eliminate WFH accommodations for disabled employees (including some with ALS), I'm especially grateful for people like Brooke who so effectively share stories of the despair, hope, humor, and humanity behind disability. Thank you and well done, Brooke.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

This is the Khazalite Holds banner that was briefly visible on GW's website today. What does everyone think? #Dwarfs #AgeOfSigmar

The Khazalite Holds image mistakenly put on GW's site showing mixed units of male and female duardin warriors with banners, a red-haired female hero, and large, dwarfish constructs with hammers.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Five-player Gorkamorka games are a bit much. If you try one, you should definitely limit mob sizes. All the games today were great, but the three-player game where we fought over a wrecked fort was the best: #Gorkamorka #Warhammer40000 #Orks #MadMeks

A beautifully-crafted miniature scrap fort with plumes of smoke rising from it is beset by the ramshackle vehicles of green-skinned Ork mobs who are battling each other in the surrounding desert for control of the derelict prize!

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

A Blood Bowl coach model using the body of an Imperial Nobility thrower with the right hand holding a book from a Warhammer Empire Wizard and the bespectacled head from the Steam Tank Commander. All painted in glorious purple and yellow with teal details. The book is painted to resemble last edition's Blood Bowl Rulebook and is shown in detail in a box in the upper right.
