Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Next TTRPG Essentials article is shaping up to be a massive love-letter to all the indies I've loved over the last year and a bit.
I might have to do a follow-up article going into some more of these systems at length, or see about arranging some dev interviews afterwards.

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.
Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.
Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Found a castle on the side of the road, washed it, and I've slowly been turning it into a bird feeder so I can set up dark souls-ass shots with the local murder.
Blessedly, they seem just as excited as I am.

I'm revealing my big ttrpg project soon, and I need my followers to appreciate why it's taken so long. This week I'm doing my final pass over the (tr)ashcan edition, sitting at 140 pages with no almost art, no GM materials, and minimal setting fluff. It is a big and absurd game for tactics perverts.

1. this is true
2. Itchio reviews are, unfortunately, only for the creator's eyes. if you want to write something kind for other potential player's to see, please make it a comment on the game-page instead.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?
The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.
Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

This essay on the myth of endlessly recurring antisemitism, the roots of zionism, and right-wing propaganda's refusal of history and complex explanations for political phenomena is one of the best essays I've read all year.
This essay is provocative, searching, and well-researched, and is born out of conversations @saulelbein.bsky.social and I have been having for years
The Myths of Antisemitism
Is "Jew Hatred" really so eternal?
