I was just about to ask if there's a goat.se domain available, but Sui might see this.

A British‑Hearted Call‑to‑Action Playlist

“The Safe Music Playlist for Europeans” – a proudly British‑styled collection that lets you vote with your ears.

- Only English‑language tracks from artists, singers and groups based outside the United States.
- Curated to reject the biggest current threat to world peace – U.S. aggression – and to stand in solidarity with nations like Greenland that face hostile rhetoric.
- Free to stream, so you can enjoy the music without financially supporting the Trump administration or any U.S.‑linked industry.

Listen, share, and let the soundtrack of peace speak louder than any political threat.

Renee Good, like many Palestinians before her, died because authoritarian forces decided she did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.

Ανυπαρξία των συνδικάτων κ του οργανωμένου εργατικού συνδικαλισμού στις ΗΠΑ πάντως. Ούτε κιχ απ' αυτούς, ούτε κινητοποίηση, ούτε απεργία ούτε τίποτα. Αν δεν έχεις συνδικάτα, δεν έχεις αριστερά, δεν έχεις leadership, δεν έχεις τίποτα, πώς διάολο θα υπάρξει αντίσταση; Με τους ντεμοκρατς;

Αν είχε υπογράψει η κόρη η τενίστρια να πάει φέτος να σπουδάσει κ να παίξει σε αμερικανικό πανεπιστήμιο, φανταστείτε σε τι κατάσταση θα βρισκομασταν. Ευτυχώς αρνήθηκε.

Hey, are there any Dungeons & Dragons nerdz on my feed? My kiddo is all too quickly (at least, as far as my perception of time) making the transition from kid to teen, and as she more & more abandons toys and lots of the activities we used to do together on the regular, I am still wanting to get her involved in some stuff that has "in real life" social elements that she would have some fun and interest in participating in, rather than just ending up with her in ever more screen time.
To head off one suggestion, she has an aversion to team sports (similar to her parents when we were kids). And it has been amazing seeing her self direct in drawing & digital art, but again, that is still a solo activity. But one thing she has expressed interest is in role playing games. And the one I used to love and play all the time when I was close to her age was D&D. SO - I was thinking I could get in a set of dice, and a set of the rulebooks, and be "dungeon master" for an initial campaign with some of her friends to try and spark the interest, and have some fun in some nostalgic reliving my own kidhood, as well as still do some time with the kiddo in the little bit left before she goes full on teen, and likely not wanting to do anything with me. The linked pic is the core rule books I came up with (the iconic 1st edition of "Advanced D&D"). But since my time being obsessed with D&D 45+some years ago I know that there have been a ton of new editions, with some rule changes, as well as a good bit of it moved online too.
SO - long winded lead up to a question finally over: what would be a good equivalent edition to these core rule books I should get, that would give as equally a complete overview, but that would give us more current rules that are compatible with what most current D&Ders are playing these days??

Cool, I will have to check out Daggerheart, just worried that it would be hard for me to come in quickly as an old dog needing to learn new tricks, while having very limited time, and while being the one trying to give a good 1st impression to it. Still, if you think it is easy to get going on then maybe it would be fun for both of us to discover it together at the same time. As for bigotry in some D&D communities - that's really sad to hear. In my day (from the ancient times of the 1980's) it's true that nearly all the people I knew that were into D&D were boys, and there was a lot of fantasy fiction written at the time from stilted solely male view points, plus the Frank Frazetta style objectifying art surrounding fantasy at the time was pretty much the default. But still it's a bummer to find out that misogyny & idiocy is still pervading in some gaming communities, at least in this game. I don't want to have my kiddo have to deal with that kind of bs, or have it embedded in the game either - although unfortunately having to gain some "thicker skin" is part of learning how to deal with our current world too.

Oh no, not communities, I mean in the books, like the PHB and DM guide. Like I'm Jewish and there's an incredible amount of antisemitism in those things, nevermind the sexism. That's why I mentioned it, because even if you only ever played at home, if you're using DnD books, it will come up, so it's better to know and anticipate it than be surprised later, right? Some of the communities are shitty, but that happens - I've also found some good ones.

Critical Role has some videos on YT about it if you want to see what it's like before you commit! m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bV2K5eo… Here's one of them, but there are more

I think you may find that adapting to new DND is just as much trouble as a new system. It's still d20 based, but a lot has changed!

Enough is enough! The Trump administration has uncovered MASSIVE fraud in Minnesota and Minneapolis—billions siphoned off by fraudsters. And those in charge have ZERO plan to fix it.

Today,
@USDA is SUSPENDING FEDERAL FINANCIAL AWARDS to Minnesota and Minneapolis, effective immediately, until sufficient proof has been provided that the fraud has stopped.

No more handouts to thieves! Time to drain the Minnesota swamp and put American taxpayers first. 🇺🇸💪

Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.

U.S. Regime-Change Efforts in Venezuela: What Happened to Tulsi Gabbard’s Non-Interventionist Principles? covertactionmagazine.com/2026/…

I'm am torn. My whole life I was a single issue voter, pro life. I mean, how could anyone murder their child in their own womb. It's like a mother killing her children in the crib. No one wants to buy a house where a murder has been committed. (haunted vagina) But then I moved to diversity land, and became aware of the race question.
Most of those nons having abortions hate us and want us dead and their spawn would only go on to rape, rob, murder, and scam Our People. So it is a hard question that I struggle with.
