Anti-trans stuff in the UK has gone so far that Anne fucking Widdecombe is defending trans women.

...in her own, special way, obviously.
I deleted a post yesterday because a few folks were concerned about "Reform is less transphobic than Labour" being press narrativization, and I did not want to make a definitive statement based on noncommittal waffling.

Today, Labour is calling Reform "Woke" pejoratively.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

I know @safety.bsky.app team is not a big one but it doesn’t look good when you have a huge wave of new users from Turkey because of government enforced censorship on X/Twitter and then you silently add a country specific moderation service and start blocking users.

Well, that's a record; in all of our 22 years - 380 concurrent players online.

We don't use shards or instancing, so these characters were all sharing one single setting. It goes a long way to creating an immersive #DnD #RPG environment.

I am told the dwarves were having a coronation tonight.
