Anyone who is willing to sacrifice my civil and human rights is an existential threat to me and I will respond to them that way. Trans people are not your acceptable losses. Neither are immigrants. Neither are Palestinians. We all get out together or we don't get out of this at all.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that while you can't nuke Copilot completely you can sure snip its dirty balls off.

Absolutely cannot wait to try this out, I love a solo ttrpg and one that encourages me to mark up a physical book? Love the idea.
SPINE has been released on itch! You can download your PDF or a printable booklet today to start playing!
I'm keeping it FREE through the end of October.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.
In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

mystery wrestling needs 10 million dollars to make this a reality
Reminds me of the gimmick match that came to me in a fever dream a few years back; 16 wrestlers, 4 rings, 1 waterpark eliminator match.
An interior cage divides the 4 rings, with 4 wrestlers starting in each. If a wrestler is thrown into the pool they can only return to a ring via waterslide.

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.
But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!
It's easy! Check your library's website.

15 pages on ULYSSES in the five hours before it was due. I believe I B+'d it.
I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

tbh the stark reality is that for nonbinary gender existence to gain much stronger mass traction among the public, it's basically imperative that people also 'allow the body to be nonbinary' i.e. question sexing of the body itself. there's basically no way binary sex & nonbinary gender can coexist

Klein kept asking "what do you do when 30% of the country believes things that are beyond the pale?" and the answer is that you hold the line even more firmly!
He seems to think that we should should compromise with them but that's a doomed project electorally and indefensible morally.

Yep. This entire interview with Coates was one massive Kinsley Gaffe.
👇🎯 The polite way to say what this conversation reveals is that Coates is operating on a totally different moral plane & Klein is only vaguely able/willing to grasp that difference.
