if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

I cannot express how much I do not give a crap about someone running for office using the wrong family category name for a family member when they're running against a guy with over a dozen sexual harassment accusations, which subsequently forced that guy to resign.

Do. Not. Give. A. Rat's. Ass.

There is a 100% chance that the next five years will see an American famine.

Between rapid theft of wealth, decline of logistical and physical infrastructure, loss of institutional knowledge, and accelerating climate change, it is guaranteed.

I taught myself Basic D&D from the book at age 12, so the complexity level is perfect for that age. A Hole in the Oak is a great introductory adventure.

If you think this is shocking, just wait until he stops paying the contractors and the work remains unfinished. There's a good chance it will look like this for a long time.

anyway hasbro is making cosy slop for a terminally uncritical market.
if you want queer content in your ttrpgs, go buy an indie game by an actual queer. Those tend to have things to say beyond 'please stop calling hasbro problematic on twitter'.

a woman in a pink shirt is laughing while holding a fan . Alt: A smiling Ann Hathaway passes a lacy black fan in front of her face. When the fan has passed and her face is visible again, she is weeping in an exaggerated fashion.

I'm so glad that I read so many books by the olds when I was young.

It helps all my adult disappointments feel nostalgically familiar instead of just soul-crushing.

They really found the least dateable weirdos for this article, didn't they?

"I want meaningful conversation but don't want to make any effort" is a hell of an intro.

"Women referring to love languages is just so hard to understand, and I don't really care to anyway" is certainly a vibe, too."

During this time of facile centrist discourse, a quick reminder that the following things are also deadly political violence:

- Homelessness
- Inadequate public health
- Militarized police
- Anti-abortion legislation
- Forced prison labor
- Financially gated access to healthcare

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these β€œ10 Commandments”:
β€˜When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’

There are surprising and amazing moments in mainstream American culture that show the range of what this country can be, and one of them was this genius appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show with a band that will melt your fucking brain youtu.be/jRO1W5twBes?...

Step one of design for me occurs when a weird spot randomly appears in my brain & starts growing, like mold.

Other spots will eventually appear & grow until my entire brain is consumed.

Writing it is much the same. Starts with random bits that grow until they finally overlap to make a full game.
