Is it weird to be glad to see the bad in the world reflected in games? I dunno. Maybe. But it feels weirder that it’s not. (And I get that it IS showing up In our games, both indirectly and as a thing to escape. I just expected more “billionaires are killing us” games by now)

There are many reasons I’m excited about this, but here’s a weird one. In the U.S., everything is pretty bad right now, and some part of me would expect this to be reflected in our TTRPGs, but by and large it is not. iHunt is an amazing exception to this, and thank goodness for it.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

I endeavor to make art that can't be generated with AI because there's nothing existing like it to plagiarize from. If I can plagiarize someone else to make it, it's not art I want my name on.

Welcome home, or, welcome to the party. Take your shoes off at the door and try not to get kicked out. We're fuc... fighting monsters for rent.

Trump is so un-American that he can’t even stage a coup for a right wing dictator in Latin America. Shame.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

We need to ban white people until we can figure out how to regulate them.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Gosh. You're saying it's not about "protecting women?"

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

Add another to the rapidly growing list I'm told is "just a couple of outliers."

Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

People who can afford to eat at Cheesecake Factory: "NOBODY thinks Cheesecake Factory is fancy and expensive. It's basically fast food, not good enough for MY REFINED PALLET. Bloody peasants. Anyway I'm on your side and understand your plight, you should totally vote for the people I tell you to."

Billy Corgan? Bullying? I remember when he bought a guitar pedal from a trans woman, then publicly threatened to beat her and break her limbs. Then convinced his Gen X monstrosity fan squad to ruin her life. Boo fucking hoo, Billy.

And then I read the interview and laughed at him some more. Seriously, he's always wanted to be regarded as the purest, finest artist while waving the fury over music industry business decisions flag harder than anything else. He's been so angry at pop stars! Grrrr! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Another call to the nets: GEEKY MEDIA. Where can we send a press release. We have the gaming standards like Rascal. But: 1) Horror 2) Gaming 3) Movies 4) Fiction #iHunt overlaps so heavily, we will go anywhere that'll take us.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Eu sou da esquerda radical, não sou petista. Mas vou votar no Lula pela segunda eleição seguida porque, do outro lado, tem um miliciano, entreguista, querendo rifar o Brasil.

Obama on Trump's construction projects: "What's up with the gold? He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory"

Brazil's election is a Big Fucking Deal. Everyone who follows me from Brazil already knows where they stand with this. And hopefully where I stand. Kick that fascist to the curb.

In Elon's defense, it's a LOT cheaper to settle the costs of a no-casket funeral than it is to take care of someone permanently disabled.

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

This needs to go into the comments of every single person posting that "they just want to critique power" nonsense from here to eternity.

I need accountability and restitution from every single person in the chain of decision making who decided "Liberty Bibberty" is something millions of people need to be exposed to.

One interesting thing about #iHunt is that the numbers for bounties were mostly written before 150% inflation. In the first novel, $3,000 is a few months' rent for our hero. Now, it's barely one month.

I'm gay married, so he opposed my marriage until the last possible second in 2012. So, um, 1?

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3
