STATEMENT FROM SUZANNE STAFFORD AND CHAOSIUM REGARDING A RECENT AI-GENERATED ARTICLE ABOUT CHAOSIUM FOUNDER GREG STAFFORD 🧵 Chaosium and the Stafford Estate are disappointed in 4 Pillar Games’ recent decision to post an AI-generated “historical archive article”... 1/7

You'll see no tears from me over Barney Frank. The dude literally got up from his death bed to throw transpeople under the bus. He was not a leader in the LGBT community, only the G.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

One of the many reasons I resent that Romance novels get shit on—if dudes would read a wide cross-section, they might notice a distinct lack of comments about the size of a hero’s scrotum. If you can’t bring yourself to ASK A WOMAN, maybe consume the media they consume and take notes?

My son is part of an arts program at a local gallery and just sold a print! An actual commercial sale!

Chowhound 1, May 1st, 1945 was my father's last mission. By early 1945 the Dutch were facing starvation on a massive scale. It was agreed that the German gunners would not fire on us as we dropped cheese, flour, and the like to the civilian populace. We had our doubts about German intentions.

On this day in 1945, Adolf Hitler put a bullet in his head while snacking on a cyanide capsule. After years of spouting hatred and causing the death of millions, he died in his bunker while blaming everyone but himself for his downfall.

So sick of the Ohio diner nonsense.

They think you're stupid.

Chutes are good!

Breathing again

Watching the return of Artemis II live. The mission has accomplished so much, but there are risks at the last stage. Will the heat shield hold up? 🧪

Integrity. Please please Gods of Asgard see them home.

Absolute insanity. We should have more teen pregnancies?! Walz had it correct: These People Are Weird.

"five trillion. That’s roughly the number of search queries that Google processes every year, translating to tens of millions of wrong answers that the AI Overviews are providing every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute, the analysis calculated."

It’s kind of ironic that Trump’s last act will bring practically the entire world together.

“Ms. Rowling currently poses an extreme danger both to herself and the public, and we will not rest until she is apprehended,” said Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Matt Jukes

@jimmywriter.bsky.social Reading Bitter Wind and delighted to see the Voluntary Interceptors appear! Read about them on a ham site last fall after getting my ticket. Amazing and almost unknown story.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

If you missed out on the Crowley/Mythos Kickstarter, here is yiur chance to get on board: crowley.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

I think I've just reached a point where I simply cannot handle any more bullshit this week. It's been beyond comprehension.

Burn is good! We're going to the moon!

I can breathe again

It's radio and radio is always messed up. Trust me, I'm a ham. Go!

Hatch Artemis II closed OMFG. Please let me be wrong and let this go well.

I've been very skeptical of the program, but they're loading the crew. I'm beginning to think Artemis 2 might actually be happening today.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

I've listened to the music of Butterfly and it's lovely, but I've never watched the opera before. Holy shit. Come for the raping,stay for the yellow face? Come forvthe Yellowface, stay for the raping? WTF am I watching.

OMG My partner's great grandfather was Canadian. If we can find the documents, she may have a path to citizenship.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Forecast 19" of snow, 50mph sustained winds, gusts of 70mph. We're screwed.

Claim of the moment:

I am a watch person. I have worn a watch, pretty much 24 hours a day minus bathing, since I was in Junior High School. Today, I was in a rush, and distracted by school vacation week, and forgot to put one on after showering. It is driving me crazy. MY WRIST IS NAKED!!! PEOPLE CAN SEE!!!! OMG!!!!!

While we're all fighting to save democracy, take a breather and try a tabletop roleplaying game that isn't Dungeons & Dragons. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3mem3o2cda22s

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein BALINT: Weak sauce BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution-- BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

If you think of the camera chase drones as being killer drones that the skiers and sledders are fleeing from, the winter Olympics become far more exciting!

K-Pop Superbowl Halftime next year. Let's keep the assholes angry.

Perfect

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

Muppet Show. OMFG It's The Muppet Show! 11 out of 10. Hits all the right notes. It's what we need and don't deserve.

It's 8:45 and I'm already at the "god, I need a drink" stage of the workday.

Repeat After Me: Billionaires Should Not Exist.

It is so cold the harbors froze and they can't get the ferries out of Hyannis to the islands.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Is this real? Please tell me this is real
