I think the team's pride in their work is an important part of the equation.

I also think that the team's efforts poured into this game were not sufficiently valued by their employer, and that's a data point for all those of us pushing ourselves 130% right now.

#EU leaders should never belittle role of int'l law or apply it selectively - as they've done since #USA/#Israel's strikes on #Iran & retaliatory strikes on neighboring countries.

It goes against #EU values & its long-term interests.

We learn, gradually and then all at once, that few of the extraordinary exertions we make on behalf of our employers are ever appropriately valued. It is suspect to even the make the effort.

Ihm gehört Zürich: Henning Conle, 82, Immobilien-Milliardär, mutmasslicher AfD-Unterstützer Henning Conle hat sich in Zürich unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit ein Immobilienimperium aufgebaut. Bekannt wurde er erst in den letzten Jahren als mutmasslicher Spender der AfD.

(1) Hinter Rechtsextremisten stehen häufig Milliardäre. (2) Niemand sollte soviel besitzen dürfen.

Strength and hugs, friend

Much of my job, on the creative side, has become managing adult men's Big Feelings as they grapple with gaping insecurity and ennui.

I got my training via some of the TTRPG creators in the 2010s.

For me it was Japanese Story (2003)

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

This was from the early 2000s, and apparently not even cynical enough??

Materielle Konsequenzen dieses ("Nicht"-)Krieges:

I have played this, and take my word for it: it's something to look forward to.

I mean assuming you like FUN…

We couldn't better sum up the relationship between corporate America and its consumers.

"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."

Honestly cannot see the cover image without humming the theme song

All this life's work on "hegemony" and ideological systems, and the heirs throw out literally any subtlety or nuance to their program of destruction.

"US Lives Matter!" (derogatory)

vs

"No Lives Matter!" (what's worse than derogatory?)

No to fascism.
No to forever war.
No to occupation and genocide.
No to antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The apps do not care if we live or die, for we are simply our previous text output paired with predictive modeling AND some regime of corpo-government censorship. We are just data they can use to lie with.

This appears to be a death app! It's not really that subtle about its total disregard for human life, apparently also yours.

If you have a subscription and need a good "push" to cancel it, let this be it for you.

This is FWIW why some of us turned so hard toward *fictional positioning* against detailed mechanical positioning, because why should our epic TTRPGs sell our own purple prose short when it comes to its in-game effects??
