Ginger spice cookie recipe: Ingredients: • 12 Tbsp (1.5 sticks) butter - I'm lazy and use salted most of the time • 3/4 tsp salt if using unsalted butter • ¼ cup molasses • 1 large egg • 2¼ cup all-purpose flour • 1 cup brown sugar • 1 rounded tsp baking soda • 1 Tbsp ground ginger • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon • 1 tsp ground cloves • 1 tsp ground allspice • ½ tsp ground nutmeg • ½ tsp ground cardamom • ½+ cup minced candied ginger • ½+ cup minced candied orange peel • Optional: up to 40ml bourbon, Cointreau, or other liquor according to taste • Optional: 1-2 tbsp powdered buddha's hand* • turbinado sugar

Instructions: Soften butter in large mixing bowl. Beat in egg and molasses. If in a rush, butter can be gently melted, but be careful to let it cool for a few minutes at least before adding in egg. Using melted butter will give the final cookies a more “crinkly” appearance and texture, which may or may not be to your taste. I like them both ways, personally. Stir in sugar, as well as minced ginger, orange peel, and bourbon if you’re using it. In separate mixing bowl, evenly stir or sift together all remaining ingredients except for the turbinado sugar Slowly beat dry mixture into wet mixture. The dough is very thick and sticky, so a hand mixer may have problems. I recommend either a stand mixer with paddle attachment or a wooden spoon and a strong arm. Refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours. If in a rush, you can put it in the freezer for 30 minutes, and then pop it back in between batches. You should be able to handle the dough without it sticking all over your hands. Preheat oven to 350F (~175C) Roll dough into balls no more than ¾ inch (~20mm) in diameter. Pour turbinado sugar onto a plate and then roll dough balls in the sugar. Place on parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes Rest on cooling rack

I had the pleasure of running the #Starfinder2e scenario 1-07: Seize and Destroy by @shanwolf.bsky.social last weekend, and I must say, I think it's my favorite scenario so far. Solid intrigue, well-designed combats, and a couple really cool NPCs who captivated my players despite being dead.

I finally got the chance to watch this, and it reminded me why I love character design so much. The section on commercial "appeal" and how KoG is an intentional rebuttal of the concept felt great to hear. Also, Frankie is the best.

Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

Damn might have to redownload it, it's been a while

A leonine alien pauses in the buckled gap of a bulkhead door with finger on the trigger of its shiny laser pistol which is pointed up but at the ready. The metal above him is cool purple while lower in the frame yellow laser beams cross, kicking sparks where one intersects metal. Dozens of rings pierce the Hani’s ears and gold bangles hang from furry wrists. Two more Hani lurk in shadows of the space behind. Above them rises a tall alien with long dragon-like snout protruding from its hooded robe. It grips a long gun by the stock and clip.
