So a seizure can be viewed as scary, but it seems to indicate the basis of the attacks were complex seizures to begin with which is info I didn't have before, so maybe the Neurologist can find something.
it also did was add another $1000 in medical debt, I can't cover.

Elevated tariffs continue to threaten the board game industry despite a 90-day ‘truce’ between the US and China – with publishers now facing a spike in shipping prices and a battle for container space as businesses race to take advantage of the lower-tariff window:

I am tired of pretending that there’s an inch of respect I have for people who use genAI bots to produce work.
Yes, even ‘just to get an idea’. Yes, even ‘only for first drafts’.
I will never trust your judgment or your work product. And yes, I can tell when you use it.

I don’t care what it says. Gen ai bots are a stupid scam that erode your ability to use your brain, pushed on us by Amway-pilled weirdos who spent billions and are wrecking the planet even faster than before because the whole world owes them a chance to make up their losses.
It’s giant hogweed.

The biggest driver since its inception of writers experimenting with ChatGPT has been this Worldcon kerfuffle driving folks to say "All right fine, what does the fucking thing say about me?"

Most folks are talking about the Polygon news in terms of the loss to videogame journalism, but proportionally, the loss to tabletop journalism is even worse.

Another timely reminder that what we've been seeing over the past 5 years is a systematic and intentional dismantling of the videogame industry by the executive money-hoarder class.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts we reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total.
