It sounds weird, but politicians who violated 'banking laws' were once considered 'disgraced'. No becoming president, no running key House committees, no pardons, if you were caught violating 'banking laws' your career was over and the headlines would call you 'disgraced.' I wonder what changed.

Rahm Emanuel represents the last vestiges of dying, corporate do-nothing foolishness. He’s not a Democrat. He’s a wealthy, status quo strongly-worded letter in a suit. Anyone who listens to him is digging their own political grave.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."

Former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert died this morning. For 16 years, while he was a coach and government teacher at Yorkville High School in Yorkville, Illinois, Hastert sexually abused at least four boys (and likely more). (thread)

The gothic horror of Ravenloft first emerged in 1983 as its own AD&D adventure! Then in 1990, TSR went all in in giving it its own campaign world sharing the same name, turning its inhabitants into prisoners of the Demiplane of Dread with new settings, novels, and even licensed adaptations for PCs.

The cover of 1983's "Ravenloft" by TSR.

Ravenloft was created by Tracy and Laura Hickman who, with Margaret Weis, were also responsible for TSR's Dragonlance. The idea behind Ravenloft was seeded in 1978 when the Hickmans wanted to flesh out a more frightening version of a vampire packed with terrifying personality rather than as a boss monster that just sat in a dungeon waiting to be killed.

TSR's revival of Ravenloft was launched in 1990 with a boxed set introducing players to the setting and its titular flagship setting, the imprisoned land of Ravenloft, now sharing its dismal existence with several other "domains" separated from each other by impenetrable fog turning all within into prisoners.

"Be Careful, You Might Just Get Your Wish.... The Powers of Ravenloft Call Your Name."

TSR expanded the Ravenloft setting with a series of novels, a practice they continued from the 80s with settings such as Dragonlance, fleshing out their properties and inviting players to experience their worlds beyond dice rolls and tabletops.

In 1994, DreamForge Entertainment adapted the land of Ravenloft with this first-person RPG for DOS PCs which was published by SSI who had a license with TSR. The page shows a number of screenshots along with the looming presence of Strahd von Zarovich gazing back at readers in the backdrop.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.

Communist China builds much better affordable electric cars than the “capitalist” US. Americans are forced to pay more for inferior products because the US is not allowing Chinese cars to be sold here. American companies would be forced to build better cars if the market was not protected.

Remarkable: an industry that is dying because it can't compete in the market writes a Republican president, asking him to keep the industry alive by brute force, and he says, ok. What would it take for the GOP to lose its reputation as the "free market" party? Seriously, what would it take?
