I'm actually offended that I'm not on that anti-anti-AI / AI haters block list!

Fuck genAI.

GenAI/LLMs have a handful of semi-useful use-cases vs. 50 billion use-cases that that only serve to defraud, deskill, and dehumanize people while making very rich assholes even richer.

OMG! The owners of the Cortex license are finally opening it up! This is really good news: Cortex is a FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC #TTRPG ruleset, and it's been an utter shame that it had been impossible to publish anything using Cortex rules for so long.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

Take the wrong lesson from a movie:

Ancient objects that are imbued with massively dangerous amounts of magical power definitely belong in a museum. Fedora-wearing archaeologists should absolutely remove such objects from their ancient burial chambers, where they had been kept safe for centuries.

The moment Biden got elected, the Dem institutional complex was like "Welp, thank goodness all that nonsense is now behind us and over forever and will never be a problem ever again. No need to worry about it or make sure it doesn't happen in the future."

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

Exactly. If your PC got into a fight with a character with higher WARFARE, there were things you could do. Like, if your ENDURANCE was higher, you could say you attempt to fight defensively: Not to win the fight, but outlast your opponent.

five slices of pre-packaged, pre-cut gyro meat. Gyro meat is a Greek-style meatloaf made of beef, lamb, breadcrumbs, and spices.

Pretty sure it's one piece of pre-sliced gyro meat.

What's your favorite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)

"There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Iluvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made."

Have you looked at the Brindlewood Bay system for TTRPG mystery games? If not... it freaking SLAPS! It TOTALLY makes the PCs feel like Columbo or Jessica Fletcher as they walk through putting together the pieces, pointing their finger at the guillty party, and shouting, "J'Accuse!!"

Obscure possible recession indicator?

Algorithmically-set prices of rare/desirable out-of-print #TTRPG books drop significantly

It means that gamers are selling off their collections on eBay or to Noble Knight Games to pay for necessities. More copies on the aftermarket drives prices down.
