Not so much an expose of the Fever organization, but a frank discussion of how racism, homophobia and transphobia have no place in the W. A must listen!

Love this flier on a shooter. I’ve liked what I’ve seen of him at New Orleans, hopefully he can put it together and become a fit

When my hero Syd Colson signed with the Fever I grieved so hard. Now I realize she was just an undercover agent taking it down from the inside.

26-18 Aces after the first quarter. Chelsea Gray with a few difficult buckets at the end of this quarter to extend Vegas lead. After all that, the Fever are down by more points after one quarter tonight than they were in Game 1.

I'm doing a limited run of commissions where I build you something new and unique and you paint it yourself. I'm almost certainly going to be out of pocket if all slots sell but then if they do I guess that's proof of concept 🤷‍♂️ DMs are open (I think) #Warhammer #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k

Carney to the EU: "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We are committed stewards of our natural heritage. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." I wish the Carney we hear in speeches was the Carney who governs Canada.

Long shot: There was a book written in the past 5 years that was about plants and their properties, and how they could be used in fantasy worlds. Thats about all I remember about it, but I qould really love to find that book if anyone has any leads. I think it may have been geared towards dnd?

"No, actually, you're not a good person if you prioritise one among millions of fantasy worlds over trans peoples lives." Gets you: "Wah! You're such bullies! Waaah! Why are you so mean to meeeee, I just want to sacrifice nothing for anyone and still be considered good!" Grow up, for fuck's sake.

Above all, the most infuriating thing about the people who claim to be trans allies but can't let go of Harry Potter is how insufferably *whiny* they are. They absolutely demand being able to keep boosting the profits and cultural clout backing a hate campaign and still be considered good people.

a very pre-internet band, one you learned of by listening to college radio or haunting record stores. I think we live in a cynical age where no one believes a band might be making music just because they like how it feels to do so, but HJ were strictly business. Their music was for them. Rest easy.

I am withdrawing my paper proposal from Warhammer Conference 2026. My reasoning can be found below. In a way, this has been one of the most stressful decisions of my academic career. In one way, the answer was clear to me since I found out about this.
To Dr. Ryder:

I am deeply saddened to do this, but I must withdraw my paper proposal for this year’s Warhammer Conference. I have been attending the conference every year since its inception, and as you are aware, this is the premiere conference in the field where I am currently writing my doctoral thesis.  

My withdrawal is based your signature of the open letter in support of Nathan Cofnas, which I feel misleadingly frames his suspension as an issue of academic free speech, where as Ghent University has stated that their reasoning was based on shoddy work ethics and work that would bring university’s reputation into disrepute, i.e. “race realism” and other frankly racist and dubiously scientific works. I believe that many well-meaning scholars have been misled by primarily making this a case of academic free speech. 

Moreover, Nathan Cofnas was the instigator for a mass harassment campaign of dubious merits that led to the death of Professor Jason Arday, which I find disgusting, horrible and unforgivable. I am unwilling to associate with anyone who shows support for Cofnas under the guise of academic free speech. The far right have shown their capability to use free speech as a smokescreen to harass, target, and demonize whole groups of people, and this is just another example of it. To see “academic free speech” being used as a reason to support this odious man is unacceptable to me. Without speculating on your motives, I have to listen to my own principles in this matter.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.
