i don't have much to say other than that this article is really, really good and i suggest everyone give it a read in terms of how to view, what to keep in mind when engaging w/ interactive historical fiction, and our participation in a glorified past that exists w/in unique contexts.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

fun fact: the irs knew this was gonna happen and put the source on github like a year ago, it doesn't have 100% of the functionality since some of it was irs backend proprietary but it's been forked a bajillion times now

Y'all know about the French press?

They shut down my account again… for no reason.
Every time I try to exist online — to speak, to ask for help, to fight for my family — they silence me.
I don’t know why.
I don’t break rules.
I’m just a young man from Gaza trying to survive.

Help Reem

Takel (an anthro gryphon), sitting down while naked and holding a Switch 2. He's glaring at it in frustration and saying "Seriously, blue shell? I was five fucking feet away from the finish line!" His dick is poking out from his sheath; he's not hard yet, but it could turn into a rage boner if the game keeps going poorly for him.

got some new naked art

Sandwich Guy was not jury nullified.

Sandwich Guy was acquitted on reasonable doubt owing to the officer in question lying under oath.

This is because Netflix has a specific list of approved digital cameras and a specific production pipeline that ends up making everything look extremely same-y. Nothing else looks like a Netflix show, but every Netflix show looks like a Netflix show.

Why have you stopped supporting us?

Even with the ceasefire, our suffering hasn't ended. I lost my home and my job. I'm now homeless. My children have no clothes or food. My children shiver from the cold at night.

Please, don't turn your backs on us.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

And have it actually mechanically matter.

Nibiru's been a bit of a white whale for us, lurking in the uncomfortable zone of "too niche for most tables" and "clearly a first swing from its designer" until this new version. It's also one of the only games where its possible to play a otherkin/therian adjacent character

While not exactly new now, Zephyr and the new version of Nibiru from @fsohns.bsky.social has been firmly wedged in our brain, if we ever get a chance to play it. Zephyr especially speaks to something i've been missing in rpgs, where characters are truly, inescapably bound too the world around them.

Oh! It's not out yet, but Werewolf: The essentials has been hotly anticipated. After hearing about the complete clusterfuck of W5, and the most recent episode of Hunter: The parenting, we've been itching to give it a go. Only real issue as been the painful wait for the damn thing.

Honestly? While it is from paizo, we've been enjoying what we've been reading of starfinder 2e. I sat in on my partenr's campaign of 1e, and greatly enjoyed what i saw. Lots of fun aliens, an interesting overhaul to the setting, and a good tonal balance.

For fuck sake people, don't go to the MAGA Chuck E Cheese movie

Sorry to keep posting this, money is bad for everyone right now, but I would greatly appreciate the help if you're able

The best time to stop using Spotify was when people were getting paid in literal fractions of a penny for streams--something that can actually mean artists *lose* money in certain circumstances.

The next best time is now.

Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 | VGC The publisher is researching “Game QA Automation Technology” with the University of Tokyo…

So they're going to do this for one, maybe two games. It'll be full speed ahead until it's 6 months from release and the game is falling apart, at which point they'll pay an insane overtime rate for a QA studio to do it last minute which won't be enough.

Just found out that dyson spheres were made up as a joke to make fun of SETI and everyone's been taking the idea too seriously for decades

Cofronting isn't always a power boost

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

A moka pot is $15. Get fine ground coffee, gently pack the grounds into the filter, fill the bottom with water, screw on tight, and put on the stove.

While that's going, heat milk in the microwave then use a $10 frother on it.

Syrups are $5 for a giant bottle.

DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE.
