Good read!

Reading this has made me so angry this morning

Today’s game (posting late), Nicea by Amabel Holland. Smart design about the 325 CE council tackling, amongst other things, the Nicene Creed. A sort of semi-cooperative semi-competitive conflict negotiation engine.

Solar surged to 15% of South Africa's electricity in December... ..pushing coal to 68%, the lowest on record💪☀️🧵

Every now and again I feel obliged to repost David E. Alter Jr's brilliant 1982 pic Bilbo's Great Adventure. Like a cross between a Victorian neo-medieval tapestry and an 8-bit platform game it condenses the whole story of The Hobbit into one image. My fave #Tolkien detail...that awesome little Bard

Woe, wall of astigmatism be upon ye

My house has a giant protea bush that's currently in bloom and I could honestly stare at it for hours

This is definitely worth your time. And it's worth sharing with friends who are less knowledgeable on the the tech industry.

Tolkien mentions bicycles in the Shire in an early draft of the Hobbit. Could the Fellowship, mounted on lightweight mithril-alloy mountain bikes, have simply ridden into Mordor? In this essay I will...

My decor style and sense of color can be summed up by saying: It all goes together because I like each bit on its own.

I love these displays of human skeletons attacking/getting wrecked by proboscidians. Are there any more examples?

Comparison of Cost of Boardgames - In AU, Flip 7 is 28 AU, That's about 20 USD. Actual cost of Flip7 in US. 7.99. You want reviewers to be pure and buy their own copies. WHO GETS TO BUY?

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

It's a fundamental part of modern rw culture is a heck of a way to say "most of us are addicted to hentai porn"

Just a reminder, if you haven't seen this yet, I'm really excited for this game. This group's previous game, Vampire Therapist, is so damn good, and you should check it out, but I am *HERE* for playing a lady who's lying and stealing from rich people in a sci-fi setting.

This is Bruegger. He learned a highly advanced new trick, demonstrating excellent use of both free will and spatulas. 13/10 (TT: maddmaddmad)

Good lord this first tree is really coming for you! It's feels like it will move when you aren't watching it closely enough.

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

This is Milow. He knows beauty comes from the inside, but he also happens to have it on the outside. 14/10 rare as h*ck (IG: aussiemilow_)

And Albert Einstein began corresponding with W.E.B. Du Bois while still in Germany, before fleeing to the United States.

We’re glad our maps with passive aggressively circled countries are doing the job we wanted 😂

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?
