The cost per person per hour of TTRPGs is essentially undefeated in entertainment hobbies. A single purchase unlocks limitless hours of play for a group of people.

Right before they invade Gaza City, they murder the most prominent individual who would have reported on it to the world.
Add this martyr to the tally - the most journalists killed in any armed conflict in history.
They seek to hide the truth, by burying the truth-tellers.
Hell is not hot enough.

This day in history, an abuser resigned in disgrace. He will never hold such power again. We won’t let him.

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize:
The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists.
The goal is to defeat them.

I will say it again like I’ve said 100 times before: one of the most radical things you can do right now to show solidarity is put back on a N 95 or better mask anytime you are outside with people. It is a small signifier that you are invested in community and its health.
Anti masking is a literal project 2025 goal written on page 475
If you are a self proclaimed liberal, progressive, or leftist who dropped masking in a bid to return to “normal” you’ve actually sacrificed everyone & everything in a violent tantrum
You’ve created an ouroboros of cruelty & sacrifice

"The protesters throwing rocks at heavily armed security forces or attempting to damage the vehicles used to kidnap their immigrant neighbors did not introduce violence. They are instead acting in militant community defense." 🔥from @natashalennard.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/06/09/l...
LA Protesters Aren’t Inviting Violent Authoritarianism, They’re Mobilizing to Stop It
Adam Schiff and centrist concern trolls have it completely backward: Trump’s immigration crackdown is the source of pervasive violence.

I’m struck by how technical people think expansively when it comes to computers but have zero imagination for thinking about how social and political systems could radically change.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Unaccountable para militaries that are commingled with the government are a hallmark of fascism for a reason.
ICE has abandoned almost all the trapping of a lawful arrest. Its officers cover their faces, conceal their identities, use gratuitous force, and transport their targets across state lines to stop courts from intervening. The distinction between an ICE arrest and criminal abduction is disappearing.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

![the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

in the medium term: a tool to proletarianize & impoverish creatives & white-collar professionals

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?
