May I please get two followers to copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening. #SuicidePrevention 1-800-273-8255 or 988.

I am going to catch absolute garbage for this and I don't care. I think we need to massively overhaul the insurance system in this country and take the profit motivation out. This applies to health insurance and all forms, auto, home, etc. Too many games go on, and if that leads to a single payer system, I don't care. Let's just fix the stuff once and for all.

Wow, what a finish for LSU! One of our off-duty reporters, @Joe_Collins1223, was able to catch a fan's view of Nussmeier and Lacy's walkoff touchdown and the field rush!

Respecting tradition. In the modern era of the tabletop role-playing game hobby, which is spearheaded by the game of Dungeons & Dragons (a property of Wizards of the Coast), tradition is often disregarded, revised, or replaced to reflect the current (du jour) value systems of those who control the brand, and those markets they currently seek to pander to. When a traditional element actually is presented, it is done so with a disclaimer that denies responsibility for the work whilst simultaneously casting the original creators in an unflattering light. It is a shameful practice performed by instruments of a faceless machine. The hobby of fantasy role-playing games has a brilliant beginning that took place in the American Midwest, growing from earlier wargames and culminating with the creation of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. Iconic creators such as Gygax, Arneson, et al., birthed a new form of game in which its participants learned to creatively collaborate in a series of episodic adventures, played with pencil, paper, dice, and imagination. And in those halcyon days, a wave of artists created works to assist young, fertile minds in the visualization of a game that largely plays out in the theater of the mind. One of my all-time favorite pieces is called "A Paladin in Hell," by David Sutherland III. Decades later (2012), in the early development of my own RPG, called HYPERBOREA, artist Ian Baggley--who was also a big fan of Sutherland--created his own version of the classic piece. This was done so with a respect and love for tradition, for those of us who create art and content for this hobby are only able to do so because we stand on the shoulders of giants.

In case you didn’t hear, the MSM are now admitting that Ukraine is a CIA proxy. Meaning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was NOT unprovoked, and that the US are the expansionists, overthrowing sovereign nations for geopolitical gain. The US brought war to Putin’s doorstep. Meaning that every single thing Western media told you about the war in Ukraine, was based on a lie. All the analysis you heard from pompous MSM talking-heads, was based on the presumption that Putin did this unprovoked, just because he is “literally Hitler”. None of it was true. Turns out, Putin’s accusations of Western intelligence controlling Ukraine were correct, therefore his attack is more than justified. Just imagine if Russia funded Nazi militias in Canada, started a civil war, overthrew the government, then installed their own puppet regime, then put Russian intelligence bases and biolabs all over our northern border. Every American would be calling to flatten Canada and Russia. Well that’s exactly what the US did to Russia, and they are pissed. Russia tried to join NATO, they were denied. Russia tried to negotiate non-violent means to resolve the conflict, they were denied. Russia tried to present their grievances of US bioweapon production and espionage to the UN, they were denied. Russia tried to go the diplomatic route, and the West just cried “Russian disinformation”, while they were the ones pushing disinformation. The West also went out of their way to censor independent journalists like me who have been telling you this from day one, because if the public knew this detail the entire time, they wouldn’t have supported sending our tax dollars there. This is going to be a tough pill to swallow for many Americans, but Russia are not the bad guys in this scenario. The West are, and it’s not even close. The sooner we all recognize this, the sooner we can clean up the mess.

The battle for the soul of America isn’t right vs. left. It’s normal vs. crazy.

The All-In Pod asks @TuckerCarlson why he was fired by FOX News and what role corporate advertisers play in shaping news coverage? Tucker highlights Big Pharma, constituting 75% of TV ads in 2020, then delves into COVID, lockdowns, mRNA shots, January 6th, and the War in Ukraine. "It not only exists, it defines news coverage. Especially on pharma because pharma is the biggest advertiser on television. If Pfizer is sponsoring your show, you are not going to question the vax... And that's why they are the biggest advertiser. So they can shape news coverage." Tucker explains that he was not surprised by his firing because it is implicitly understood within the industry that sharing opinions that conflict with corporate advertisers eventually gets you fired. "I had a lot of opinions that were unpopular with people who might have influenced my show getting canceled... But I was not shocked at all. You can't give the finger to everybody and persist in a corporate job." This aligns with Glenn Greenwald's (@ggreenwald) recent analysis, shared by @elonmusk, illustrating how modern journalism, once a check on established power, is now controlled by corporate advertisers. (twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/…) The ongoing corporate boycott of @X, ostensibly based on a false antisemitism claim, reflects this broader pattern. Empirical data reveals platforms like TikTok and Instagram promote significantly more antisemitism than @X, yet corporate advertisers are only targeting this platform. (twitter.com/antgoldbloom/sta…) This contradiction underscores the corporate @X boycott is less about combating antisemitism and more about stifling freedom of speech online. When @elonmusk defiantly tells this union of major corporate advertisers and establishment power to "go f**k yourself" for attempting to bankrupt his company, he's pointing at the authoritarian illiberal forces attempting to control online speech through advertising dollars. Elon Musk, Glenn Greenwald, and Tucker Carlson rightly point the finger at this dangerous alliance of corporate and government power, manipulating news and shaping social media platforms through advertising dollars. These authoritarian illiberal forces starkly oppose the core principles of freedom, liberty, and enlightenment that have fostered the modern prosperity of so many people in the Western world.
