Apparently Minnesota police officers are “afraid they might get arrested or something worse” if they intervene when ICE agents are doing crimes. Meanwhile they let thousands of unpaid, unarmed Minnesotans go ahead and intervene instead. Their cowardice is breathtaking

what's fun is near as i can tell, ice is definitely moving around the twin cities doing scummy shit today while eyes are off them for a bit

they're still stealing our (and your) neighbors

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

I've also come to realize I like games (board, ttrpg, etc) where the possibility exists for a kind of bad, boring, underwhelming session. The possibility of a wide open, surprising, unpredictable narrative space basically requires the possibility of a kinda mid game sometimes. See: all sports.

It's a good post. I've heard people discuss the "tyranny of fun" before, in the context of say, handwaving the vestigial bits of old D&D stuck onto newer D&D. Encumbrance isn't fun, random encounters aren't fun, resource management isn't fun... (1/2)

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

huge fan of Sandman Slim and been following the series since book 1. Started a reread and struck again by how much it rules. Super excited to check out your new stuff as well. It's a great time to be a fan!

One like= one completely reasonable TTRPG opinion (that I actually and sincerely believe in). I will escalate the longer it goes.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Reflections on my Cataphracts game Recently, I ran and completed a game, inspired by Sam Sorensen's blog posts. The gist is that it's a logistics wargame that occurs in real time over Discord...

@domicilius.bsky.social wrote an amazing analysis and campaign report of his very successful two-month Cataphracts game! (I think the first game to finish?) so, so exciting to see other people running and playing their games! check out the analysis here: infernalpact.bearblog.dev/reflections-...

protect your eyes, protect your head. "less lethal" munitions are lethal when fired directly at a human being and cops love to use them this way. pepperballs will take your eye out, a tear gas canister can fracture your skull.
cops will kill you on purpose and by accident, all with impunity.

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

Tapping this sign again.

To anybody painting the OSR with a broad brush: you are painting over me, and folks like me. But that is your privilege, I suppose.

To radical queer commie OSR: I love you folx.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

there is a little gnome inside your computer. would you like him to start erasing files at random?

[ yes ] [ maybe later ]
