Whenever I hear devs or other creatives who do worldbuilding say they *have* to use ch*tGPT to help with their lore bibles because no human could possibly collate such a huge and complex world… I glare in historian

This might be releasing early next month depending on when Cringe Wizard backer rewards are done; either way I'm getting into promo now. If any TTRPG pals have experience and ideas they'd be willing to share I'd be grateful

just stop it! problem(s) solved!

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross.
So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

Just a reminder that Rhythm Doctor is only available on Steam, Itch, and Xbox!
If you see a game claiming to be Rhythm Doctor anywhere else, especially on mobile, it is NOT real and it's NOT from us.
We're aware of at least 1 person stealing the game and trying to sell it on mobile.

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”
The problem with ICE agents isn't their training, it's their existence.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

Police decide who the criminals are. Cops choose which communities, which types of people they engage and arrest; they decide which crimes they police, i.e., which of our society’s laws they enforce.
