@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social @naddpod.bsky.social is the Man in Black Deadeye Cybin? That joke/inquiry had probably been made before, but the Venn diagram of their voices seems to be a circle

@ewayneross.bsky.social after reading your chapter in The Social Studies Curriculum 5th Ed., I appreciated the mention of one of my favorite figures from the German Exilliteratur grouping, Bertolt Brecht

@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is the wizard Sly’s bird a phoenix? And, if so, is he some sort of Easter egg-version of Arthur Aguefort (both wield time/time-centric magics)?

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar says her son was pulled over by ICE Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said federal immigration agents pulled over her son on Saturday and asked him to prove his citizenship.

Trump has escalated his attacks on Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar to a disturbing new level. Yesterday, federal immigration agents pulled over her son and demanded proof of his citizenship.

@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social is it parasocial how excited and happy I am that I just heard Brennan say MY name and 3 of my favorite creatives answered my question on the 4th episode HINT! fireside chat?

@vornietom.bsky.social never change #thelibraryisfree

The other aspect that can be argued as a southern gothic element? Orima’s kudzu consuming wide swaths of land.

@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social finished my second listen through of Arc 1, but this time with a subscription to the patreon and listening to the Fireside. Something that hasn’t really been mentioned is the southern gothic influence, most recognizable in the Man in Black. BUT, …

Breaking:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he has formally requested the Trump admin rescind their "unlawful deployment" of troops in Los Angeles and "return them to my command."

Shameful. This guy is so earnest and patient in describing what happened—something truly un-American. I hope his girlfriend and the family behind them are okay.

#FreeDavidEndRaids On Friday afternoon, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocat...

FLAG: the SEIU is holding rapid response rallies to call for the release of David Huerta and an end to the ICE raids TOMORROW at multiple locations nationwide

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die.

Yup, this is how you win the world.

The crew of the Madleen deserves all of our love and solidarity. They knew they were on a dangerous path, but also understood the necessity of trying. The siege of Gaza must end, aid must be delivered, and the crew of the Madleen must be freed.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

SPOILER for FH Sophomore Year @dimension20.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is Kalina toxoplasmosis-inspired? I acknowledge that her plague is not in any way similar to this micro parasite, but the thought suddenly appeared in my head yesterday and I need to know

Debunking Minimum Wage Myths Since 1995 YouTube video by Robert Reich

Robert Reich has been debunking the same right-wing myths about raising the minimum wage for over 30 years.

If we want to move away from a strict alignment-chart understanding of the dichotomies of good/evil, law/chaos, & to a IRL one, the spell “detect good & evil” shouldn’t detect N/PC’s stated alignment, but rather where the caster would place the individual being investigated on an internalized chart.

What strikes me about their conversation is breaking down the alignment chart’s weakness into an almost ontological discussion on good and evil. In my head, as I’m listening to and thinking about this, it comes down to individual perception.

D&D as a pedagogical tool thoughts:
I was listening to the episode in season 1 of Adventuring Academy with the blessed saint of actual play, Matthew Mercer. 1 of the submitted questions is about the alignment chart, which isn’t the first time Brennan + guest have spoken about it.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.

This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Do I play D&D/TTRPGs? No. Do I want to? Yes. Do I, as an educator, see the potential skills that could be developed by students, the content areas covered, etc., if TTRPGs are introduced into a classroom setting? You bet your ass I do.

Finally getting into Adventuring Academy @dimension20.bsky.social @dropouttv.bsky.social and I just started the episode with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social. Erika’s talking about a teacher friend wanting to incorporate D&D into his classroom and THAT IS WHAT I WANY TOO.

That last question in Jeopardy tonight was such a soft pitch

A South African academic recently told me of efforts there to start a BDS movement against the US.

More than I want to see them in my home, I want to see @haymarketbooks.org publications in local libraries. Your local library should have a means for you to request books. Find it, use it, spread the love and revolution!

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers.

That you give everyone $2-$3.

But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.
