Godspeed, our old condo had solid concrete ceilings but I had a lot of luck with suspended tracks in the new house

it’s rubbing off, anytime he comes up now i immediately have to harsh the vibe

I love my one-shot game meetups but have also seen a number of people approaching them like they’re a speed-dating event to find people to do the real thing (campaign gaming) with.
Buddy, I’m lucky to have the time to squeeze in this night weekly!

re: "Parks are for families" - Chow makes it clear who is and isn't granted personhood in the eyes of the state. Dufferin Grove is a huge park that's continued to be used for all sorts of shit throughout this encampment's life. these policies boil down to the City not wanting homeless people visible

I get like, Don Draper & Joan vibes. Never a romantic couple but colleagues with longstanding admiration.
He thinks he has too much respect for her to get involved, and she knows it would just end in disaster.

i am so sorry that you are also now going to be stricken with the curse of looking at random walls and only seeing trim profiles and paint flashing

Oh get ready to feast!!!

Now you get to buy the fun little felted hats!

It’s so so good. I facilitated a game of TKID earlier this week and truly just let the text do all the work for me, after the pitch it was just everyone just reading aloud through the rules together and it went gangbusters.

Lots of advice around gaming algorithms on various platforms that ranges from “circumstantially true” to “kremlinology” to “wishful thinking.”
I.e. Always launch a KS project on a Tuesday, never include a link in the original post, anything below five stars on itch hurts your discoverability, etc

About today's public transit discourse: I believe that riding public transit is a spiritual good for increasing your empathy and practicing minding your own business. It also helps you internalize that most people mind their own business, e.g. no one is looking at you.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

As I've been saying over and over on our book tour for The AI Con, the inevitability argument (including in the form of "AI is here to stay") is an attempt to steal our agency. We don't have to accept that and I encourage everyone to refuse it.

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

Congrats!!!

American companies running six figure crowdfunds every quarter not being able to figure out international shipping is so embarassing when your average zinequest maker is networking with fulfilment people on multiple continents

thank you comrade xi for your melamine flavoured treats

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.

"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

the thing teenage boys need to hear more than anything else is that it is actually okay if they don't grow up to be men at all. they don't have to feel invested in the political interests of men as a class, bc they dont have to BE men. it's okay if they grow up to be women, or something else :)
