remember, voting against troops being sent to fight an illegal war that has no authorization, no objective and no attempted justification is being against them. voting for them to be sent to fight and die for an imaginary cause neither they nor anyone else can explain is being for them.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

The unique curses you played with, I liked every initiated quests to resolve and not just “pay for spell healing”.

All the boss fights in Sunsfall Cycle! They all felt unique do different focuses.

The scrivener’s tower when the “darkness” escaped and the players realized they could not just sword or spell it to death (had to use special lights?), their reaction was amazing.

The wizard’s ooze tower when the low level players were trapped inside by weather and an owl bear was very atmospheric!

Trying to get a local newspaper article from 2013. I paid for subscription for $10. Add $3 to see a single 2013 article--it's a word doc with the text of the article copied. Useless. $13

I called the library from that town. This man finds the article and emails it to me. A 30 second call. $0

An Atlantic article shared on ExTwitter with the blurb “Benjamin Netanyahu's long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him”

Imagine writing something like this and putting your name on it in a professional manner.

pete hegseth believes that wars are won by guys who can do the most pullups and quote the most bible verses. but the arcane knowledge of all warring empires from Rome to Mongolia, the imperial catechism wielded by conquerors from Alexander to Napoleon, is that wars are won by spreadsheets.

Kings Start Wars. Christians Stop Them The violence Trump has unleashed in Iran ignores what the prophets teach: War is more effective at creating orphans and widows than in delivering justice and peace.

new from me: “War kills people. That’s what it does. War kills and maims and rapes and, over the whole course of history, has proven to be far more effective at creating orphans and widows than in delivering justice and peace.”

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

You can develop an AI that intelligently responds to events, and you're using is to create a surveillance hellscape? But with tech like that you could eliminate menial tasks.

But I don't want to eliminate menial tasks. I want to create a surveillance hellscape.

A screenshot of a spreadsheet that shows that the Noble background gets a trait named "Call Daddy," which reads, "When you roll to see if a merchant provides a specific item, your chances of the merchant carrying the item increase by 5%. If the item is available, you can't benefit from this trait for another 1d6 days, because Daddy can only pull so many favors."

Anyway, Crows development is going great.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
