@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social I think this works as a GIF

We're looking to hire a freelance artist to create a series of four logos for different megacorps in our Shadows Over Sol (hard sci-fi / horror) #ttrpg. Think the Expanse meets Alien, with a dash of Cyberpunk mixed in. Interested and have experience? Send us your portfolio!

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social I DO regret to inform you that you have blown up my notifications 😃

Autocrats regularly overestimate their power and how much people agree with them

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

Looking at you @bansheekitty.bsky.social, @knave1006.bsky.social, and @sl0wl0ris.bsky.social

Four consecutive WSJ headlines tonight showcasing Trump’s tightening grip on the American economy

I stepped back in to the fencing strip for the first time in a long time tonight. It was not good.

there is a man standing outside YOUR door right now. he's holding a medieval poleax and he's going to rip you to absolute shreds with it. please subscribe to my newsletter for more updates about the man

GM Tip: Looking to set a regular schedule for a #ttrpg campaign? Set it about 50% as frequently as you know you're capable of running. You will inevitably have other games or life events occasionally, and starting at 100% is a one-way ticket to burnoutsville. #rpg #dnd #ttrpgCommunity

Authoritarianism is like measles: Ignore it and it will go away. I have this guidance straight from Secretary Kennedy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

As someone who for most of the last year and a half was a solo consultant (in fundraising), these types of costs absolutely add up. Sometimes you can deduct them from your taxes, but that's not on the front end. Absolutely one of the reasons working for a big org is attractive, even w/trade offs

the history will continue until morale improves

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

At some point the dissent is just going to be the 3 throwing up their hands and saying "I guess Daddy Roberts will let Trump do whatever he wants."

Just like how anyone brown is an “illegal,” anyone objecting to their agenda is about to be “Antifa.”

World's biggest asshole?

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

I just assume this guy has never actually read any Scripture because after Judas kills himself they bring in another disciple...Matthias.

@jamellebouie.net you deleted this post a while back but gotta share there's light at the end of the tunnel on childcare costs We're starting PreK next month (our county has a universal, subsidized program) it's going to drop our cost by like 2/3 No idea what we're going to do with this money

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Could not be more timely: @brendankoerner.bsky.social goes inside the world of the most prolific destroyer of US tech infrastructure, a guy whose vague internet 5G brainrot put him in prison-and he still clings to conspiracy. This is the shape of political violence now www.wired.com/story/22-cel...

This quote from @attackerman.bsky.social in his most recent writing on the implications of Kirk's death really spoke to me.

Jordan Green wrote a good long-form about this for @theassemblync.bsky.social: www.theassemblync.com/media/neo-na...

“I firmly believe that everyone should be doing everything in their power to do what we can to end the genocide in Palestine." Game designers band together again to extend critical aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

The cost of energy storage is dropping. This makes renewable energy viable.

Fired football coach Brent Pry's wikipedia photo is the hard-livin' version of opinion guy

I often see people post things like "X lasted longer than the Confederacy" (I saw something similar about Nazi Germany, which lasted about 12 years) Here's the thing. The ideology that led to the Confederacy goes back a lot longer. And it is still part of the political fabric.

Yes...

I'm slowly learning this song is in a bunch of video games??? And that's apparently more relevant. It's still a good song!

I think my personal all-time favorite were Pauline and Stone Loveman, who I created for a Cthulhu campaign. They ran the Cypress Bough Inn in Elizabethtown, NC (Bladen County), which was the home base of the PCs during the campaign.

Hey #TTRPG folks - particular DMs/GMs - do you have a favorite NPC you created for a campaign?

@naomialderman.bsky.social I keep forgetting to mention - and hopefully this is flattering - I named an NPC in my most recent campaign after you (I read The Power as part of my design prep) The NPC was a Jewish commando fighting against Gilead, so I think the similarities probably end there

My only commentary on the new information is "bella caio" is a deep cut, and the Chumbawumba cover of the song slaps.

There was an interview with Philly's DA where he said similar things, and I've noticed Philadelphia is not on "the list" as of now.

I've been feeling pretty despondent over the last 12 hours - this feels like a dangerous inflection point in history. I turned how I was feeling into a collection of songs that to me, are about hope, action, and channeling grief: open.spotify.com/playlist/4hv...

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

as a man proud of the record he's made with his band it is my duty and also my pleasure to inform you that if you are grooving on our new tune, the pre-order is live. as a poster it is my obligation to show you what I saw when I clicked "North America" at the link www.mountain-goats.com/merch

Conservatives understand you can shape narrative and too many on the left, particularly elected officials, think you can only react to it.

But pick the handful of things you know about and care about and speak up and share info. And not just share fucking memes. Use your platform to share practical action items. Because there's TONS folks are doing and a million ways any one of us can start to help out.
