So many victims — and heroes here. I’m in awe of Zena Stenvik’s commitment but especially her ability to communicate: when I’ve heard her interviewed, or testifying, she’s been clear as a bell.

You know you want one

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Why games journalism is important: I’m pretty plugged in to TTRPGs, I love D&D style games, and I’d never heard of this. I’m really glad this crossed my timeline!

its real...

This is indeed broadly true of rent-stabilized landlords in NYC when they lobby against things like rent freezes or low proposed annual increases. “Rising costs” in general audience stories about this almost always describe those as, like, maintenance or wages. But it’s mostly debt-servicing.

Good thread. There are disabled people in the future. The only reason you wouldn’t see them is if that society has gone full steam ahead on eugenics and they’re unable to live freely or be accommodated in public.

My Zinequest project is live! In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together. It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out! tinyurl.com/sfibc

OH shoot almost forgot, please check out Townies by @jellyfishlines.itch.io, I read Townies early in Fantasy in My Backyard's development and Irving's personal writing challenged me to find ways to be more intimate in my FinBs design.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I don't know who keeps doing this but you have to stop I'm begging you

One of the things I’m arguing in the book is that there WAS the possibility of something like community in TTRPG AP circles, & technological/platform shifts along w/ various interpersonal breaches mean the concept is only invoked as a disciplinary force (as in “discipline & punish”) or in marketing.

"WE'VE ARRESTED TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE BY MISTAKE"

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Let this serve as a reminder that a tyrant can never be appeased.

a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate' www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

the only viral post i've made on tumblr was when i said "hey fantasy writers you can just use normal swears, you don't have to write 'shadows take you' if you don't want to" and 50% of the reblogs were like "op hates fun and lacks whimsy 😭 shadows take you goes so hard 🔥🔥🔥"

Releasing a game with an Asian female protagonist in a story fully immersed in Japanese culture with a theme rooted in women's agency followed up by a game with a Black male protagonist? Ooh, Konami gives zero ****s. You love to see it.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel. One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

i cannot stop thinking about this interaction

i’m fairly certain ai companies are just paying literally every company to use ai in ads, generate ai video ads, interview ai people without questioning any of the shit they say, it’s all ad on top of ad

Silent Hill Townfall coming 2026

We only present a project for crowdfunding when the game design/text is 95% complete and we don't like to introduce roadblocks that will impede our ability to deliver as quickly as we can while maintaining our high standard of quality. This is the best way we've found to also offer stretch goals.

One subtle piece of social media illiteracy that keeps popping up is the inability to distinguish between "I am on this website for one specific purpose" users and "I am on this website to hang out" users

It's now time to enact my get rich quick scheme: designing and publishing indie TTRPGs

Remember, if the Play Unsafe Kickstarter reaches 300 followers, it will make no practical difference but give me a moment's satisfaction! Can you help give me that moment? Or do you just like round numbers too? Am I doing this right? www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

When reading this article, consider the median average revenue of a single McDonald's location in 2021 was $3.3 million. There are four RPG companies in the world that bring in meaningfully more money than a single McDonald's. Lots of incredible companies bring in way less than a single McDonald's.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

If this is your first time in a bundle, click on the "review" button on the upper left. I was confused by the error message on the right ("bundle is too large for a preview"). So it took a time to navigate.

Some of y'all are new to this shit so heads up, DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO A PROTEST Just saw video of ICE agents do what is natural to them -- spontaneously choose violence -- and someone was carrying their dog near a cloud of mace. There's no reason. If you cant leave them alone, STAY HOME.

Hey-hey-hey, quick little pro tip for people who are maybe new to this whole "anti-government activism" thing: Feds shoot dogs. Feds *love* to shoot dogs. The feds *will* go out of their way to kill your dog. They will do this every time with no provocation whatsoever.

People are over-reading this. The judge dismissed the *federal* murder charges because his (alleged) actions didn’t fit within federal law. He still faces *state* murder charges because it’s usually a state crime. The feds stepped in because they were mad NY doesn’t have the death penalty.

AI is just a cover for trying to ship jobs overseas that weren't previously thought possible to ship overseas part 1 million

This was also true of the AI podcast company that threw out a bunch of numbers that I guess sounded impressive to the NYT but if you know anything about the podcasting business it was clear they were making no money at all. It was just a shell game to trick gullible investors

Go check out this bundle for all these reasons: 1. Charity bundle donating money to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota 2. SO MANY GOOD GAMES IN HERE! 3. It's only $10 minimum to get over 1,000 games! 4. Among the sea of games, find TWO things from me!

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job. In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike. The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
