we have no rules of engagement and have killed their leader in a missile strike. in response, iran has resorted to terrorism.

As long as the GM is hype to play the system, it’ll probably be fine. I’ve yet to see a compelling actual play for DH where the system sang tho (pls link me if you have)

Doing a session zero for a new Daggerheart campaign tonight. I skimmed the book a year ago. It seems ok but it doesn’t exactly excite me. Mostly what I enjoyed was the settings, but this game will be homebrew so…

She engages intensely with animal care stuff. She’s always donating too. It’s getting worse and worse tho. To give you an idea, she was crying over graphic pics of a cat that had been deliberately burned with a cooking torch, then had its leg hacked off. This is apparently ok with Instagram

Thank you Instagram for once more turning my wife into a blubbering mess at 9am by showing her pics and vids of heartrending animal abuse

Child’s Play, by Sam Kriss Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking

Very good read on our dumb dystopia and emerging Silicon Valley slug person culture harpers.org/archive/2026...

i know very little, but the grants i've seen people discuss make it sound like subsistence-level money. Which is fine if whatever you do takes off and actually makes you money, but if not, you probably need a second job. Is that in the right ballpark?

How others see the Icelandic creative industry: "wow, all those writers and musicians, Iceland clearly takes great care of its artists".

Meanwhile, today we hear that a generation-defining Icelandic comedian has passed, the report noting he spent decades working in some form of retail.

Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban This paper presents an analysis of data from trans children and young people and their parents following the imposition of a UK-wide ban on puberty blockers for this group. The consequences of this...

For anyone who has not seen it, my research, along with the suicide statistics he apparently tried to cover up, show very clearly that Streeting is NOT putting children’s safety first in any way whatsoever. Trans kids are very likely to to suffer trauma well into adulthood, if they make it that far.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

my favorite Olympic sport is DEFINITELY 'the uploader has not made this video available in your country'

literally making every choice as predicable as possible seems bad for someone in the business of entertaining

Hahahaahhaa hell yeah. The future rules! THE FUTURE RULES!

it has only been the fuzzy memories of last year's white-hot playoffs that has kept me around this long. The contrast between tanking and playoff ball is going to snap heads again

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

BBC Radio 3's "Music Map" is doing Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

Tom and Jerry's "The Cat Concerto" (1947) is, perhaps, their greatest ever, and a major culture-text of the 20th-century. www.dailymotion.com/video/x6lipk0

Loved this. Got way too few laughs in the theater when I saw it
