Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

In today's Pathfinder 2e game, our party's Kobold Thaumaturge brings his entire clan with him to town, trying to find a new place for them to live. City Guard - "I wasn't expecting... this." My Gnome 'Bard' - "It's fine; no one expects the kobolds in transition."

Once saw a reddit post about a Pathfinder 1e fighter who lost an arm and needed recommendations for a new weapon. I asked if they still had the arm. Not to reattach it, but so they could cover it in steel to BE a weapon and do extra damage. See, in 1e you deal 1.5x Str when using both hands :D

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Just had a surreal experience where my dad told me my uncle was bragging about how cheap eggs were at Target, to which my dad replied he doesn't like buying food at clothing stores or vice versa.

I have a new Pathfinder character who is, strictly speaking, a Necromancer. Nothing they do looks necromancy-ish. Anyone observing them would assume they're a Bard. This is the sort of character I would love to bring to PaizoCon just to see people's reactions when they learn about the build.

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

I occasionally get those spam political texts addressed to my dad or my brother instead of me, but today was the first time I got one addressed to my nephew. Maybe it just messed up because our names are kiiinda similar, but calling me "Alexander" is a quick way for me, Andy, to ignore your text.

After a rough couple weeks, it's amazing how much hearing eScape can cheer me up. Hearing it in Monster Hunter Wilds was just an extra treat. The Omega fights are some of my favorites in FFXIV. The references in the MHW version were cool to see.

Also, this picture is referring to the Omega frame attacking a dragon the size of a building, but without context it looks like my palico and lil OMG are acting out a gradeschool Godzilla play and I love it.

Tomorrow's my birthday, which always comes with mixed feelings. Hard times make it hard to be excited about stuff. It'd mean a lot if people would check out my Pathfinder Infinite. I'm really proud of what I write, and any support would be a great gift <3 www.pathfinderinfinite.com/en/browse?au...

JKR explicitly stated that she takes support for her IP as support for her views. She personally funds anti-trans legislature and personally makes sure to silence any opposition. She uses the fortune she makes off HP to do so. Watching this literally, directly supports the anti-trans hate movement.

The Verge@theverge.com

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

This isn't buying a product from a giant corporation that has problems somewhere in the process. This isn't an artist that was discovered to have committed atrocities years ago and is now either retired or dead. This is a singular, living, bigoted person using profits from their work to fund hate.

I agree with the headline. With the possible exception of this kind of critical commentary, I will not be watching, boosting, or otherwise engaging with the new Harry Potter.

Truly, unironically, without exaggeration, one of the most formative moments of internet culture. This is like the meme equivalent of the first sea-creature crawling up onto land. Love it, hate it, whatever, there's no denying how impactful videos like this became for the internet in its early days

1. Anti-trans Democrat Seth Moulton just lost his Senate primary in a LANDSLIDE to outspoken trans ally Ed Markey. To Moulton, trans kids were a liability the Democratic Party needed to abandon. But to Massachusetts voters, the only liabilities are Democrats like him.

"Reasonable consumers" don't own PlayStation games because reasonable consumers won't spend any money on PlayStation games after this.

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

As much as I like sharing examples of silly things I've included in my Pathfinder Infinite books, here's a more useful look at what's included: all the new feats! You can sneak a preview of some of them on the store page, and I'll be sure to share some more over the next few days.

One of my favorite things to do when writing for personal Pathfinder projects is to see just how many puns / dumb references I can make into game options.

I never really listened to Dolly Parton's music, but I have a huge amount of respect for her. I mostly know about her efforts for children's literacy/education, but her support for LGBTQ+, her donations to the Moderna vaccine, and all sorts of quiet philanthropy she did is just so admirable.
