Pete's Coffee at SFO is playing Love Vigilantes at 6:48 am What a choice

Very interesting paper finds that when South Korea suspended its “low-skilled” guest worker program, the result was not a rise in wages for native Koreans doing those jobs, it was the opposite; current employees got reassigned to those jobs and took pay cuts and firms went under.

Look I used the word "sinecure" in a text message last week just because

Middle school shop teachers everywhere are losing their shit right now

It has arrived in print. Wild that Classic Traveller still has legs.

My second attempt and failure to fix this poor old thing because I got the wrong size belt AGAIN. But I finally found a part number for the belt and have ordered yet another one so third time has got to be the charm.

Whenever I bring up how a lot of the appeal of 3.5/1e and 5e-style piecemeal levelling to powergamers makes it seem like a classless system in a fleshsuit, I always get some pushback about how there's nothing wrong with that. I fundamentally disagree with that because it's inherently deceptive. 🧵

this goes so. hard.

Holy shit, Iran has signed a deal with Ticketmaster

It's vegan lasagna night

I missed this but finally a historical event worth commemorating www.eastbaytimes.com/2026/06/14/s...

I read way too many reposts and replies to distill this down to "appropriative larper hick shit"

You have to love the process for what you want to make. Loving the output isn't enough.

I have created a new supplement available now for sale on DM's Guild! It's called "Ravenloft: Legends of Sithicus" and features legendary enemies and magic items from the Land of Specters (including a vampire kender and Lord Soth's strange children)! www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

you have to understand, game designers have forgotten about the holiness and purity of long-form weblogs, the only way to disseminate information about art, design, games, and weekly anime, and thus they build the false idol of manifestos

You are a normal kid. Your quest: keep up with Pippi Longstocking without getting killed, kidnapped or arrested.

(Return of the King re-read) I am really really really having a hard time with all of this “bloodline” stuff. It’s much worse, IMO, than the racial system defining elves, dwarves, etc. As the series goes on it shows up more and more often and I don’t know how you read this charitably.

We must imagine Sisyphus gamified

The Chronicles of Prydain, which is honestly probably easy to adapt. But it would be a lot of fun to grow the world and get some much art made for it

In my limited experience watching Antigravity work it does exactly what a junior dev would do, complete with googling info, just faster. But same steps of coding, compiling etc. it's not magic.

So I generally agree that tech bros should stop building the Torment Nexus but in the original book "soylent" is exactly what you'd expect - soy and lentils. The dystopia was overpopulation not letting you eat steak 3 times a day.

New groundbreaking research about AI just dropped

This is true but it's also true that System Matters™️ and this is the great yin/yang of role playing games

Post a cartoon you remember that (you think) no one else remembers

What a comeback by the Knicks.

The zaza got me connecting the dots

Andy does really good work. Hire Andy for adventure design!

ANTHROPOLOGIC ANNOUNCES A MYTHOS-CLASS INCURSION. DEPLOYING CHROME BRUTUS AND VULCAN SPECTER

They have a nearly identical wall set up for the World Cup in Santa Clara and it's dumb because if they don't need it for concerts or 49ers games, what's the point? It's ugly and a safety hazard

“Mass deportation and draconian limits on legal immigration are two sides of the same coin.” www.ms.now/opinion/dhs-...

This illegal wage manipulation will price H-1B workers out of America, many of whom spent years or decades here with their families and will be forced to leave the country when they can't get sponsored or renew. We are harming our country for no reason. www.cato.org/blog/dol-inf...

scorching hot take: the french. a croissant, a coffee (or tea, I can't with coffee) and I don't smoke but I get the appeal. I'm one bad depressive episode away from going the full eastern european: tea strong enough to preserve a corpse in a bog, vodka and again with a smoke.

Every GMs definition of “prep” is so idiosyncratic that there are DMd who say they “don’t prep anything” who are doing three times the prep of GMs who claim to spend hours on it. Not all prep is equal.

The YT algorithm is crazy sometimes - even full time YT creators don't know who the other big creators are!

www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... I'm not even particularly anti-data center but wtf is Meta doing here? This is just burning money in a big pile and for what? To auto caption Instagram pics?

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

I am very glad I bought a NAS setup a year and a half ago

They've discovered how to accelerate existing Brontës to 0.99c and then smash them together, revealing previously unknown sub-Brontës

Apparently in some off-season trade activity I was not aware of, TSR's Vrusks, of Star Frontiers fame, have been traded to MCDM for a possible future draft pick.

I loved the previous strategy of Marvel movies being like 400-level university courses, where you needed multi prerequisites, a minimum grade and possibly the personal approval of the Russo Brothers to purchase a ticket

It's true that CVS receipts have hidden surprises. One time mine has a section that started "Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore..."

Kids: he's an elf Arnold: HE'S NOT AN ELF!

I've spent the last 30 years thinking about the PEI Potato Museum because I went there on my honeymoon. A great location for every occasion.

I like new games! 5e is great. PbtA games are good. Tracking torches is fun... sometimes.

This is extraordinarily bad. I know it's obvious but the Trump government is attacking the very notion of any sort of immigration. The fig leaf of illegality is gone.

Don't know who made this but just fuckin @ me next time.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

He was not internationally known, but he was known to rock a microphone. RIP Rob Base.

The reasons the rest of the country thinks the Bay Area is weird are wildly distorted by media. The real reason the Bay Area is weird is because where everyone else gets their FB marketplace feed filled with Hummel figurines, used IKEA furniture & inflatable pools, this is what appears in mine:
