I really enjoyed The Dungeon Book by @mytholder.bsky.social about a princess raised in a monster-filled dungeon. It's a faery tale: simultaneously whimsical and macabre. The writing is snappy, yet also lyric. The voice actor was an excellent match for the material, and it ends when it should.

Damn boy, are you a Senator? Because it sure seems like you're intentionally stoking hate and fear against a tiny subset of the population so you can accrue political power and funnel taxpayer money to big tech oligarchs who can't control their own products.

The co-pilot seems to have tried to crash it into the ground with a full cabin of (mostly Israeli) civilians. Was stopped by his pilot that got stabbed in the process passengers interfered and another crew on the flight landed it in Saudi Arabia. Israel’s treating it as a terror attack for now.

Well this is an interesting legal hypo: Someone brought a (presumably rented) electric scooter into the ASU library, up to the 3rd floor. The scooter caught fire, as did the (now closed) library. Doesn't look like anyone was hurt, and the library will reopen soon.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

This month's @motherjones.com cover is astounding. Reposted with alt text:
Cover of the September-October issue of Mother Jones Magazine: a white background with the words "50 years of fearless journalism" in black print, centered above the name/logo of the magazine in large Bright Red. Below that in black, the words "the southern strategy — jim crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

And then, framing those words, there are two sets of robes: to the left, the simple black robes of the Judicial Branch of the United States Government, as a Supreme Court Justice might wear; to the right, the white robes and hood of the KKK.

A white person's hand with cuff of business suit and shirt visible, reaches into the scene from the right, poised to grab the Klan robes.
