I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT POP CRAVE

A fun fact a lot of people don't know about me is that I studied journalism in college ~ Anyways I always encourage people to practice media literacy (ex; ask "why is this disparate pull quote so far from its context?") when reading ~ So here's a thread of some basics I learned!

actually not just trans feminism: anyone on a paid platform who advocates for a singular -ism as an interpretive framework (especially when prescribed praxis boils down to either posting or pure vibes) is probably a grifter

i also think it’s ridiculous when people treat smth as he-said-she-said when you can look at the fucking thing itself. LOOK AT IT. the worlds are: (1) the FBI sent her an AI generated letter, (2) someone sent her an obvious AI letter, or (3) she generated the jpg of the letter

My play report for the first session of @zedecksiew.bsky.social's Lorn Song of the Bachelor that I ran using Cairn 2e. afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/afraid-of-pl... There's also a long foreword on why Lorn Song of the Bachelor means a lot to me. Oh, and hooks that I wrote for my players!

as an outsider: * that shit is so AI it’s incredible (fbi letter and andrea dworkin quote) * the anti-weed sentiment and semi ironic nationalist posturing are racist * trans feminism thought leadership is a grift at this point everyone sucks and needs to touch grass severely

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

well 🤫

these people got annoyed by some grad students on the internet in 2020 and projected it on to joe biden for some reason. bizarre behavior.

the idea of buff jesus on the cross is a little silly isn’t it? like they mogged his ass

Lots of good practical information here not just for 'zines but homebrew wargames rules, RPG adventures and supplements, protest survival guides, photographer rights and responsibilities checklist for filming the police, and any other small format DIY publication.

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

One more apocalypse for VoV 2E. The victory of the Jigsaw Courtiers, supplicants of a mad Autarch who transformed himself into an undying tesseract of hypergeometric flesh. This the House of Leaves apocalypse where the laws of geometry get eaten away like termite-riddled wood.

the new spec's commercials have split seconds of AI vintage photos for some reason

every accusation...

From @francescadnunz.bsky.social: Police—sheriffs, Texas state cops, and even ICE—can follow the location of your smart phone without a warrant. Yet, we know little about how this software has been used. Presented with support from @pulitzercenter.org

i’m tired of jules hate SHE AND RUE CHEATED ON EACH OTHER

I day dream of a future where I've actually finished more than one project. Doing mock ups helps me manifest. 🧘💪🕺

A tale of playtesting and how you don’t really know what mechanics work until you bring ones that don’t work to your table, maybe more than once

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

The way all "AI" CEOs and evangelists keep talking about how we all need to be more positive and believe more and talk less about the material issues ... that is how an actual innovation, a paradigm shift even, looks like, yes?

recreating lib cringe from first principles. this movement is finished

I was reminded of this entry today - we stuck a couple of little bonuses in BREAK!!'s rules, I always think of Mundymutts and Skeleman as like unlockable characters you get after beating a game once. breakrpg.blogspot.com/2024/08/brea...

this is really the vilest part. the way these people, caught trampling your rights, will hound you to the ends of the earth and beyond the grave. this womans crime was being married to someone the regime murdered. abrego garcia had the temerity to be mistakenly deported to a gulag. unforgivable sins

The fact that Zuck spent, what, $60 Billion trying to make 'the metaverse' a thing, and now more than 1,000 people won't have any jobs in the real world. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

New mindstorm post! 2026 is the year of the shameless self-indulgent posting. I've started a new game, and this first post is both design notes and play report. Check it out if you like PIRATES www.mindstormpress.com/shimmernight...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

My friend Apoleen just made a new blogpost! He is filling the niche of sci-fi-themed Tabletop RPG blogs and I'm loving it! distractedatthetable.substack.com/p/imagining-...

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

one can take some heart in the notion that we are seeing, repeatedly, the platonic ideal of the imperial boomerang playing itself out. from the CIA child soldier shooting those national guardsmen to this iraq war veteran shooting a mom in the face - our ghoulish adventurism is exacting its fee

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...
