Republicans on the panel voted down a series of proposed amendments from Democrats, including one that would bar the deportation of U.S. citizens, with Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) calling it “batshit crazy” that such a resolution would even be needed to stem the tide of problematic deportations.

Beyond the immigration priorities in the bill, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) drew attention to the very last provision of the bill — one that would limit the ability of courts to enforce contempt orders issued against the Trump administration. Goldman accused the Trump administration of flouting a Supreme Court directive to “facilitate” the return of mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“You would think that [my Republican colleagues] would say, ‘Huh, let’s make sure that our president is actually following court orders, because if he’s not following court orders, then why would anyone else follow court orders – and our entire system breaks down.’ That is clearly what Donald Trump wants

The core of the new Dungeons & Dragons rules have been released into the Creative Commons so you can use them when you publish your own D&D material

Last year, Wizards of the Coast announced that when the three core books that formed Dungeons & Dragons' updated 2024 ruleset were out, the essence of those rules—the System Reference Document, or SRD—would be made available under a Creative Commons licence. And now, it has.

This is a big deal because, while D&D's 5th edition rules SRD was previously available under the terms of the Open Gaming Licence, or OGL, it was potentially subject to revision. Letting the basics of the most popular tabletop RPG be used by third-party developers—who could sell their creations and retain the rights to them—had made more niche publications like [Weeke

See you nerds later

Yup, it’s weed. I got high. Then I ate some crackers.

Hell yeah.

It’s not even a real challenge. They’re either too easy, or they instakill, which just ruins the entire experience.

The whole, “Ahh, you thought I was dead, but now I’m changing” bullshit gets old, too. They’re granted a new, full health bar. Neat.

It doesn’t seem like they’ve done much balancing at all, unless they’ve nerfed builds. That’s about it.

Had a user here on the Tankie thread that was obviously just being contentious for the sake of it, and being insulting to users here.

I hate being that person who bans, deletes posts, etc. It seems kind of authoritarian to me. So please, lovely Lemmings, be cool to each other.

Yahoo UK has the story, but Yahoo in America says it's 404'd. 🤔

Aside from the more obvious reasons that this is terrible, I also have selfish reasons for being upset about this (I'll edit this later).

This is the first time I've smoked this strain, and holy shit, it's nice.

Pretty strong, but a nice, happy high.

The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”

Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.

I used ChatGPT to make a short list of major world events that have occurred since the decade I was born. The list is obviously incomplete (there's so much happening right now), but it paints a pretty decent picture of how fucked this world has been.

Also worth noting that DeepSeek stopped at 1989, cleared the list, and said, "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." Imagine that.

Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.

Setup was super easy — way easier than I anticipated — including the basic setup of Tailscale.

All those poor idiots who voted for these people are being duped by the very people that they trust. You love to see it.

Edit: This isn't a complaint; just an observation.

Totally random thought, but I see so many people wandering around down voting regular posts that are pretty benign. I also see this a lot on another message board that I'm on.

Disagreeing with people is totally fine, and down voting them as a form of disagreeing makes total sense. But with the nature of some of the posts, down voting just seems completely pointless, so I'm wondering if it's just trolls going around being negative. 

I'm going to preemptively down vote this post. 

More than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from data.gov since Trump was inaugurated. But analyzing exactly what happened and where it went is going to take some time.

Trump acting like his Austrian-born idol. God, I hate this timeline.

I don't expect this community to actually go anywhere, since it's basically a repository for random stuff I find interesting.

But! In the unlikely event that it picks up, please be cool to each other.
