Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.
It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Interesante el video de Mike Mearls (diseñador veterano y ex-WotC) sobre por qué D&D 4e se estampó. Aunque su punto de vista interno es muy interesante, creo que su conclusión no es completamente certera. Traduzco parte de sus puntos y ofrezco mi opinión 🧵 #lodelrol youtu.be/lBgNSWWCpNE

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.
There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous. So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media. *WARNING: Article quotes Rowling's hateful language.*

De ser cierta, la historia es mucho más rocambolesca de lo que parecía, pero el girito de estos dos párrafos no te lo esperas.
El cierre de la librería Pérgamo no es lo que parece. Los inquilinos buscan una nueva sede y llevarse la marca tras registrar el nombre, sin conocimiento de las dueñas que, en cuatro años, nunca subieron el alquiler, ni siquiera con arreglo a la subida del IPC

It's that special time of year when they give the danger-kitties pumpkins to play with at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minnesota. A much-needed timeline cleanse. 🐯🎃 (📷: wildcatsanctuary.org)

The Force Unleashed II is far from being my favorite Star Wars game, but this scene is lovingly crazy. Hardspace: Shipbreakers with bare hands, followed by a massive ship maneuver that even Amilyn Holdo would be jealous of. 💪
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (LucasArts) was released 16 years ago today.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I am by no means a smart man, but “Running for president to avoid imprisonment” should really be removed as a viable plan.
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...
