Useful tip for folks running A PERFECT WIFE (or any other rpg set in a SEAsian city):

If somebody at your table can't make a session, handwave as: they got stuck in a traffic gridlock, cannot get free for three hours

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

This is put so well.

There are absolutely parallels with cryptobros screaming at you about the impending death of fiat currency.

"Hyperinflation! Great Depression 2.0! Government collapse!!! Your stupid paper money will be worthless, soon! SOOOON!

...

Best to just give it all to me now!"
If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
