The fact they played a video of a guy making monkey sounds at Black people at the fucking convention to hype up the crowd not being front page news across the nation is proof not one of those publications deserves to exist

Moms for Liberty is trying to stop the Biden administration from protecting LGBTQ students all across the country — in 850+ counties in virtually every state — by way of a Trump appointee to the district court in Kansas. I have the story at Law Dork —>

Moms for Liberty seeks order blocking federal LGBTQ school protections nationwidewww.lawdork.com A Friday filing from the extremist organization seeks a ruling that would block the Biden administration's Title IX rule in more than 850 counties across the U.S.

We will question how vitriolic we have become. We will moderate our tone, and search our souls for any darkness that mirrors what we witnessed. We will reach out. They'll buy bullets.

"We're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious." - Mike Davis, former Chief Counsel of Nominations for Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Grassley, on what he'd do if he worked in the next Trump administration's Justice Department.

We launched @killeverymonster.bsky.social, got an ENnies nom and an Audioverse Award. We launched @deadghost.bsky.social, got an ENnies and a CRIT Awards nom. Every single Webfest we have submitted to has selected our shows to be part of their festivals. I am really proud of the last 2 years.

Y'all are gonna love this one.

Our next Dead Ghost production is a one-shot of Hunt(er/ed). @djmalenfant.bsky.social and @superdillin.bsky.social play the hunter and hunted in this fast-paced, two player TTRPG about a Hunter and the Monster they are pursuing.

If I am going to trend on the hellsite, at least I can educate people about the Pinkertons.

My nephew is playing a soccer management sim, and I am losing it over the game having him take the players out on a little dinner date before starting in on the negotiations.

Judge John Broomes, a Trump appointee, issued a nationwide Title IX rule injunction covering all children of "Moms for Liberty" members this week. That's bad enough, but the procedural/notice mess he made of it is also really absurd: www.lawdork.com/i/146289012/...

...add a 2024 ENnie Awards nomination to that tally 🎉

Four months ago, I wasn't sure I should continue making podcasts. This week, I became the full-time editor for Unprepared Casters and we landed an incredible GM and cast for our next @deadghost.bsky.social story. To top it off, I was nominated for a Crit Awards. Thanks, universe.

WOHOO! 🎉

Replay has been nominated for an ENnie Award! Congratulations to @bananachangames.bsky.social, @thekappachris.bsky.social, @whipjack.bsky.social, Jenn de la Vega, and co-producers @alexvalente.fyi and @vartian.bsky.social.

while i am not a fan of awards, and have Strong Opinions about most of them, i was just thinking back to what we did with @deadghost.bsky.social and Replay a story about how little control we have over the art we make for audiences, once capitalism, sponsors & corporations get involved..

There are so many stories to write about this Supreme Court term — the conditional and hypocritical nature of its rulings, the damage it has done, and the warning it leaves with us. I am glad we are entering a period where I will be able to do some of that work. But, it's dark.

True failure on CNN’s part. Biden had better have a point at which he asks the moderators how they haven’t asked about it if they don’t.

we're 20 minutes into a debate featuring a guy who was convicted of 30 felony counts a few weeks ago and CNN started off with a question about the national debt and no question yet about the felon who tried to overthrow the government
