Photograph of a simple game board on a table. There are a number of green triangular "trees" and you can see some little wooden peg gnomes behind them. At the far edge of the board is a tealight candle

Same photo as before but now the lights are off. Everything is black except for the candle, the light it casts and the hard shadows of the trees

Photograph of the game board - a childs hand is using a wooden tool to move the light

there's a German board game called Waldschattenspiel that we always start playing around this time of year. You place wooden trees around a board, then one player lights a candle and places it somewhere. They close their eyes and the other player places eight gnomes behind the trees, in the shadows

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

If I found out one of my tattoos was a Nazi tattoo and I was too broke to get it removed, I’d be at the store buying a wire brush attachment for my drill and a tall boy of Bactine

I think it's a genuinely catastrophic thing that the most influential members of the American political press spend their free time on a site where views like this are amplified and promoted as a matter of policy, and naturally coming away believing on some level that this is the prevailing view

Itch is not a "predatory corporation" seeking to erase queerness from the Internet. They are being monetarily threatened and blackmailed by some of the largest and most dangerous corporate entities on the planet. Criticizing Itch at this juncture makes you look deeply unserious and uninformed.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

What an utterly dogshit rebrand. Take something unique, characterful and distinctive and make it look like every other bland corporate unbrand out there.

Stonemaier Games' announcement that they are suing the president.

Congratulations people who "wanted politics out of games", you made gaming the most political it has ever been, well done

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

My god... @aresluna.org's posts are exquisitely written, but if you're a web developer, you *need* to pry open the hood on this and just wonder at the beauty of this page.

Google Calendar removes Black History Month, Pride and other cultural events Company says listed holidays were not ‘sustainable’ for its model in latest move to roll back diversity efforts

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

NEW: Reproductive rights are now enshrined in the state constitution, but Missouri’s main abortion provider is fighting legal hurdles to resume offering the procedure. Meanwhile, anti-abortion lawmakers strategize to prevent a return of abortion services.
