At the very least you simply can't trust self reported policy preferences because people simply do not care to look things up

Further evidence of “YES AI is incredibly dangerous but bc of how malignant assholes are using it, not bc the AI is brilliant and scheming to take over the world”

We did it!!! Wow! JourneyMon reached its funding goal in only 7 hours! Thank you so much to everyone who has backed and signal boosted so far! Onwards now towards those stretch goals...

I am generally uncomfortable with the Wolves of Freeport vertical integration scheme

Okay the problem is people actually did like that 5 minute clip of Vader killing rebels at the end of Rogue One

I loved working with Imogen on Frontiers of Eberron and Chronicles of Eberron, and I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with this -- Backed!

The whole AI saga the last five years has felt like the tech industry figured out that journalists were happy to do propaganda for them so long as it got dressed up as critique or "brave and bold" coverage.

1.3mil active service members was what I found. They gotta be doing better than $100 a day right? And that's only active service members and not the rest of the staff

Imogen is an incredibly talented designer with credits in many fantastic books, very excited to see her launch her own game!

Sigil suffered a slow, ignoble death After an unsteady development process, D&DBeyond’s immersive virtual tabletop will shut down in 2026.

Project Sigil's slow death will continue until its servers shut down in 2026, after which the only ironic reminders of its ignominious existence will be the "add on preorder" digital dice and gilded character sheets on D&DBeyond.

Commissioned for my upcoming adventure coming to the DMsGuild!

Also some great Cult writing

Lmao now it's taking on crime and discipline. Absolutely perfect episode for Bsky

S2E15 of DS9 "Paradise" feels like a classic Bsky argument. Writers absolutely dunking on "what if we just got rid of society and technology and lived in the forest as a commune"

Watching DS9 and the costuming department's vendetta against Jake continues. Everyone except him gets to look good every episode and he's stuck in Kidz Bop outfits

mitchell and webb are we the baddies sketch but the smarter guy is saying, hans, have you noticed that our caps have got platner tattoos on them?

er... hans...

When it was announced I did a quick Google of active service members and got 1.3mil, so one donation is $100 a person if it's only for salaries. Which like, at a commissary can probably feed a family for a week? But I'm pretty sure that number ignores all civilian support staff

Is that a full 30 days of the House not convening?

Can't rule out trust fund money as a source of income

Not sure I have a strict number in mind, maybe 10k, but fundamentally I'm not going to pretend that every big account post is 100% authentic and 0% performance. Different accounts of course have different track records, but I do think posting matters and I can't block my way out of that truth.

But I think that's the line, is it's a different issue when it's a friend or small account vs a big account doing it for clout.

It was good in minion quest mage. That and the discover legendaries could create board presence out of nothing.

Trump is a lot easier to explain when you internalize that Americans are actually fairly wealthy and value access to luxury goods, services, and beliefs

Yeah even if you'd pay less into single payer overall it's hard to get around that a significant % of health insurance premiums really do go into services and you can't handwave those costs.

Honestly I just want shorter games. Willing to pay a lot more/hour if there's no dumbass grinds just to pad playtime in the third act.

Really good video, I especially like the distinction between customers vs. community members. Maybe with another hour it could've tackled "How do you manage parasociality", but it's already 63 minutes long.

I'm not sure it is, twobrid and phyrexian mana feel more like artifacts that have colored costs or those prototype cards from BRO but hybrid is *very* clearly meant to be OR. I also dislike argument about if some hybrid cards should have been gold, Commander is a celebration of color pie breaks

Yeah I'm less sold on twobrid and phyrexian, but I'm fine splitting that hair

I think MDFCs and Split cards are the same logic as activated abilities — it's about being able to play the "full" card. Manamorphose for UR is a perfectly valid play.

I think the better devils advocate is mana symbols in generators, like (ig)noble hierarch as monk G
