Remember this when you see scare headlines about the high rate of minors seeing “porn” online: They’re either not seeing it on porn sites or what they’re seeing isn’t actually porn.
It turns out minors not necessarily know what “porn” even is.

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.

Imagine someone seventy years from now looking back at the 2020s and looking at travel influencer accounts on TikTok and imagining that that's what life was really like, and trying to figure write policy to get society back to it.

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Interesting thread
Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

This part is a typical example of something that persisted throughout development. I'd turn in a piece of music and Giannis would say "This deserves... More." Then he'd come up with the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

I have some non-negotiables (such as trans rights) but my number one issue in the next D primary is “will you actually fight back”
if any moderates are on the fight side of the fight/don’t fight axis now would be a good time to demonstrate it

I would vote for a moderate if I thought they would end the filibuster, pack the court, and use every lever available to them to keep the GOP out of power. if the leftists are the ones promising that, I'll vote for them instead.

This is, of course, a fascinating thread from Kate asking why Google is effectively cannibalizing its own market for both digital ads on third party properties and search ads, by effectively taking away the incentive to click through to third party sites. I have a theory as to why they're doing it.
So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run.

Centrism is actually the perfect example of a No True Scotsman, "true centrism" has never been, and can never be, tried because the target always moves; usually rightward.
The sort of thing that becomes apparent when you have a functioning memory is that despite centrist's favored posture, they offer new compromises that solve the issue, their suggestions are not only quite old but also haven't worked before either.

2025 is like if pets dot com had tens of billions of dollars in government contracts, and every other company on earth will go bankrupt if nobody buys enough dog toys.
also they all talk openly about how the puppet may kill us all but, they feel it's necessary to keep putting it on their hand.

Either money is a resource you use to keep making things, or money is the goal in which case what you make is irrelevant. That extraction rate has never been higher in history and now everything enjoyed by more than a few people has all these strings and qualifiers attached.

There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.
#SaveSpeech
if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"
they are not your allies.
