And there it is....
Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records
Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"
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
Compared to other 3D printer laws proposed this year, California’s is the most troubling. It criminalizes open source, reduces consumer choice, and creates a new bureaucratic burden. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
I need you folks to understand that this is the way they push through restricting being able to print things like whistles anything else they happen to find objectionable at the drop of a hat.
This is the start of that regulatory slippery slope.
...Aw, they got me with that one.
I don't like living under the politics of white hat rapists versus black hat rapists.
My The Between players are deep into the threat of The King in Shadows right now and we are having so much fun with it (if you consider being kidnapped, shot with an arrow, and slowly going mad, fun). I’d love to see the Occluded King and his court in Public Access!
I'm starting to be concerned that, in addition to the current KS meltdown, our 48 hour warning email also did not go out. If you saved Public Access but did not pledge, please reply here letting me know if you received your 48 hour warning email from KS.
PLEASE re-post this message.
"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.
Oh, I could scream about this for HOURS.
But suffice to say: This is what happens when large studios don't want to fund original projects, anymore.
They make Scooby-Doo for the 16th time, and the hot young talents goes off, runs a Kickstarter/gets backed by Glitch, and succeeds without them.
Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.
~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.
Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.
Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.
This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification
"You're an author? Would I know anything you've written?"
"Have you heard of the book Eat Pray Love?"
"Oh wow. I have, actually!"
"Well, one of my books was printed in a typeface not totally dissimilar to the one in that."
As an experiment, I am sharing a narrative telling of our first play of Forbidden Lands. It's based on the first session of our actual play. A different way to experience the story emerging from our play. What I don't know is if it's interesting or valuable.

So, in those spaces where AI is viewed as a useful tool, the narrative is generally that it is what you use for the unimportant things so you can get onto what matters.
I’m not averse to that framing, because it allows the use of AI to communicate to me what something thinks is unimportant.
I've got some exciting news...
As a way of saying thank you to the TTRPG community for all the love and support y'all have given me for Breathless over the years, I decided to fully revamp the original pamphlet and giive it for free for y'all to enjoy some zombie survival horror gaming ^^
Enjoy ❤️!

You want queer cosmic horror, with hauntings, survival horror scares, trans MCs, dark art illustrations, and all of it in a big universe that's still just setting up? Check out my work.
I one of my favorites is still the old Rollplay Blades AP on itmejp's channel with John Harper. Everyone in it was very good. youtu.be/QNzpg-qdZ0g?...
My second recommendation is @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social AP for a fun game where they learn it & teach as they go. www.youtube.com/live/nuNfMLG...
💯💯💯
This sort of thinking inevitably degenerates into a tactic where no one is ever Poor Enough for help (See: "98% of the so-called 'poor' own refrigerators!!" from FOX News), and why it's essential all basic income/daycare/etc. arguments are UNIVERSAL.
The ultimate fairness, TBH.
I do not understand parents that don't take time to connect with their kids. It's healthy for you.
It's also why I listen to phonk & breakcore in ridiculous traffic on my way to work. Femtanyl's NASTYWERKKKK! as I pull in to sell extensive things to unpleasant people at the dayjob sets the tone.
If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."
Me whenever y'all put that JonTron "WUT!!!" on my feed.

I can't answer your question or make sense of the contradictions it's pointing out, but let me phrase that in a way where you can believe I might
to earlier events in the story when they had things dear to them stolen from them, made sacrifices to pursue their end goal, or otherwise inflicted collateral damage on the world, with an epilogue phase inspired by Fiasco.
As I've been working on Bladed Shoes, I've had a different little gremlin arise in the process. It uses the Do Anything idea to power the home stretch of a story. Rolls are generally 6, 4-5, 1-3 in order of worse results, but bad results and physical injury never stop the PC. They prompt flashbacks
I hope that when I die, it's like Emily Dickinson's house - just stacks of novels, poems, games designed, games half run inherited by anyone that finds any of it worthwhile.
You ever think about who you want to inherit your game design stuff, should something happen?
You know, your Chris Tolkien.
Anyway, I elect @ostrichmonkey.bsky.social for me. Sorry Josh.

Sod you, Brendan. Can we hear from Lisa now, please?
Post from me from December 2024 that says RFK Jr. is not trained in any area of medicine or science. He has never applied for a research grant, conducted an experiment, or published a peer-reviewed paper. We should never, EVER compromise with people who lie about vaccines and public health.
I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health.
It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.
