This week on the blog: the big iconic opening battle scene from Gladiator (2000)!
This sequence has become the image of the Roman army for many, which is unfortunate because - for as fun as it is - it doesn't work much at all like a Roman army.

If your first response to a different playstyle or rpg mechanic is “this doesn’t work if your players are actively sabotaging the game”, I just… feel sorry for you man

I wish this were an April fools joke, but no. It is, unfortunately, facts. My car insurance company has failed to pay my mechanic and the car rental company from my recent claim and I’m left with a total of $3400 on my credit card that I should not be paying. I’m gonna cry.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

The thing about calling The Lord of the Rings a trilogy is that it isn’t. It’s six books. Sure, it was published as a trilogy, but each book contains two volumes of the larger story, and each one is a complete narrative arc. This is why it sometimes wobbles when adapted to other contexts.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people?
disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

I do not want to live in a trade war. Like I prefer the trade war to a literal war. But I am tired and groceries are already too expensive. And we all know that even if the tariffs are removed, things won’t get cheaper. Loblaws will just get 25% more profit.

I’m blocking people who are jerks to Canadians who are angry that their country is under threat.
He showed up and told me to police my tone about the Americans who make 51st jokes, who demand I don't boycott blue state produce, how I need to acknowledge THEY did not vote for a Republican government.
That's what is important: not that my country is being targeted with economic ruin to annex us.
