As a holy, perverse, sacred, blasphemous, anointed, damned, blessed Pope, I bestow upon each and every one of you this credential recognizing you as a Pope. Hail Eris.

Always funny to me that Yarvin is held up as the great intellect of the New Right and then when he argues for stuff it's this - here's some etymology for a synonym of a word you're using, so we gotta have a tyrant -- checkmate libs. Behold the philosopher.

Marty: You ever watch history documentaries? Rust: I don't believe history documents past events. Rust: What we call history is an attempt to make sense of the consequences of hidden warfare between secret societies.

" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift. At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely. Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math. Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

This is like a 2025 version of the Something Awful Forums business model.

Alt text: A parody ecclesiastical proclamation styled like an old formal decree. Centered bold text reads: "KANYE WEST IS OFFICIALLY BANNED AND EXCOMMUNICATEED FROM THE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY." Below, it declares the ban to be an "Episcopal Proclamation" by "Prof. Cramulus, KSC & The Floating Librarians of Mu." Surrounding the text are various Discordian and esoteric symbols: a lightning bolt, the five-fingered hand of Eris, a stylized apple-wielding Greek goddess figure labeled "Floating Librarians," and POEE (Paratheo-Anametamystikhood Of Eris Esoteric) certification. Other Discordian iconography includes the Sacred Chao's pentagon and golden apple aspects, an "HA" laughter stamp, and an all-seeing eye. The ODD# at the bottom is given as “II(e)/4,ii; 16Aft3188.” Overall, the tone is satirical and aligned with Discordian mock-religious absurdity. Generated with BSky AltText CustomGPT.

Reminder, this proclamation is "real" (it was really, really, for realsies made by a practicing Discordian Pope & POEE member-in-good-standing):

I think gazing at the navels of myself and others to find secret patterns might be my primary kink.

Are we not angry enough

the story of how Ziz ended up precisely where they did, and the communities and trends that influenced her, is a sort of Rosetta Stone for how online communities produce a milieu that breeds cults faster than the New York City sewer system breeds rats

I have an extremely strong preference for d6 dice pool systems now. Feels like a lot of newer players intuit “roll and take highest” adjusting dice in hand easier than “roll and do lots of little math,” and there’s something viscerally satisfying about rolling more dice if you’re better at something

AOL warned us of the dangers of logging on. It would play for us the screams of the damned. But we didn’t listen. We didn’t listen.

The Blake Lively story that isn't being told It’s easy to manipulate what people see on social media—or don’t.

There's been so much attention to how Facebook/Twitter algorithms have been hijacked to advance conservative agenda, but little focus on Reddit.

Underlying the Lively story is a bigger one about how Reddit is manipulated to control narratives and silence dissent.

history is wild, for eg. if Pythagoras hadn't successfully taken credit for a theorem he had nothing to do with, he'd be remembered as a skeevy af cult leader who claimed he could speak to animals, time travel, killed an asp with a venomous bite and insisted that fava beans are literally evil

Two samurai cats on a rooftop: My cats at 3 am

so the thing is

just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming

it's actually not helpful
