We live in a society run by folks trying very hard to bend reality to suit their ends & egos to a greater extent than ever before (as a country we've always preferred revisionist history). Speak the truth (especially to kids), archive books & films, & do all in your power to counter their ignorance!

This is basically the problem with, well, everything at the moment. Increasingly, our economy is built around extraction, rent-seeking and fraud, and because these are the only ways to get ahead, everyone is giving up on providing actual goods and services to people who actually want and need them.
The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

I've been looking forward to getting into #TheSixDomains mechanical stuff, as much as I also love the more purely narrative parts of the project, too!
Today was a tweaks & edits day for #TheSixDomains. I made a few adjustments & plugged some holes. I'm now gearing up to write the next section, on ancestries in The Six - how standard Daggerheart ones are altered to suit the setting, and some that are unique to the place! Onward & upward!

Interested in how much people get to run or play #TTRPG
On average its online 3 nights a week. Running 3 campaigns, playing 1. Some ad-hoc.
Feels like a lot. I appreciate some play less, but I'm at a stage in life I can afford to indulge hobbies.
How about you? Please repost if you can.

Does anyone remember that Congress is supposed to be the only American institution that can declare war?
Breaking news: The Trump administration appears ready to launch an extended military assault on Iran, current and former U.S. officials said, as the Pentagon amasses an immense strike force in the Middle East.
Trump appears ready to attack Iran as U.S. strike force takes shape
Although the United States and ally Israel have a decisive military advantage over Iranian forces, there are ways for Tehran to make any attack painful, officials said.

I think about this all the time, actually. I spent much of the last 25 years trying to get other people to see it before it was too late. Clearly, I failed.
You ever just think about how part of why we got here is because the Democrats have never been a functional opposition party? Because they have been and still are too tied to capitalism and imperialism to function as anything but the establishment?
