Intro post
Hi I'm Solatra (nov/nov, dune/dune), generally credited in my game design writing for Pathfinder and Starfinder as Sasha Laranoa Harving (I answer to both).
I organize PFS and SFS events here in Chicago and do what I can to support the queers around me. Follow me if you like Starfinder!

You really owe it to yourself to go through this thread where TMC is giving a masterclass on how the AI push is showing up in politics.
Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots:

1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI

WHEN TRANS YOUTH ARE UNDER ATTACK WHAT DO WE DO?

ACT UP FIGHT BACK!
Just in: 50 parents and transgender activists have blockaded the HHS Building in protest of sweeping new rules that could ban trans youth nationwide.

24 were then arrested.

This is the kind of action we need.

This is Minneapolis:

Our neighbors are still sheltering in place, unable to go to work, get groceries, get medical care, etc.

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Keep supporting our neighbors.

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

This shit isn’t over. None of the kids can return to school, none of the parents can return to work. Everyone who was in hiding is still in hiding.

It's a day off. Everyone is taking it easy. No one expects any company announcements or anything. It would be wrong for me to spoil something else about Galactic Ancestries...

Remember those old photos of choking smog hanging over LA and NYC in the 70s? Well get ready for that again
“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…

“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”
