Pay your contractors guys, c'mon

We really don't need a D&D drama grifter turning abuse and assault into content, especially when he's digging up stuff from years ago.

Love seeing a YouTuber use my journalism for a clickbait video but not cite me a single time

Sama'a and her family need our help to secure food and warm clothing. The winter in Gaza has been brutal, and every donation helps. chuffed.org/project/157569

Formed by @colewehrle.bsky.social and @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social with a team of board game designers and artists, @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social hopes to create "emergent gameplay" and "player-centered storytelling." www.thefandomentals.com/cole-wehrle-...

Hey, guess what: buriedgiantstudios.com

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.

Cole and Kyle leaving Leder Games is crazy, but that just means we've doubled the amount of cool game publishers

Did you catch last night's premiere of Cast Away: The Tundra, a new charity AP from @gamemastermonday.bsky.social raising funds for Feeding America? Catch up and learn more in @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social 's full write up: www.thefandomentals.com/game-master-...

The wasteland stays wild as Lucy enjoys drugs, Maximus continues his murder hobo ways, and Thaddeus fails a bunch of speech checks in a row. Check out Bo's latest #Fallout review now: www.thefandomentals.com/fallout-seas...

My podcasts were neither nominated for nor awarded a Golden Globe, and I will thus be boycotting them in the future

Wild that Indiana is going to finally win a national football championship in the year that IU’s leaders & the state’s government decided it was no longer a serious research university.

Oscar-winner Adrien Brody is wearing what now? #nw

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Larian couldn't finish Baldur's Gate 3 and think that rather than fix their bad project management and scope creep, they'll just AI it all away.

This is how Larian and other devs talk about AI. It's never the ones they care about until someone gets mad, but they'll push and push anyway

Please don't erase that she was a queer woman as well, even though we're trying to "own" JD.

Swen says "No AI" in concept art for Divinity, so keep bullying these CEOs. But to be clear, he still loves AI and thinks taking jobs and killing the environment is "efficient."

Let's go Pitt baby love Da Pitt

You know, I thought the TTRPG community was contentious. Then I joined DSA.

"They're murdering citizens as a distraction." No. That isn't a distraction. That's the thing you need a distraction from. The truth is there are no distractions. There's a bunch of arrogant. Bigoted fools doing whatever they want with no fear of reprisal or repercussions.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Renee Good was a poet, someone who put beauty out in the world. And now she's gone. And these fascists are still here. www.porkopolis.org/pig_poet/ren...

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

If anyone tries to ever justify that ICE murder to you, show them what was in Renee Good's glove compartment. It was so stuffed with toys for her kids she couldn't close it.

never want to hear again about how abolishing ICE isn't "realistic"

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

Since Sansa has been in the news, we thought we'd share another throwback or two of our examinations of the "Queen of the North" and her...complicated handling by Benioff & Weiss. Here's Kylie seeing the fraying threads even back in 2015. www.thefandomentals.com/why-sansa-kn...

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things. Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years. Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US. Shareholders are demanding they settle. Keep boycotting.

Signal boosting to see if anyone knows of any Vietnamese language actual plays!

It's endearing that the British view all actors as just naturally fruity #nw

he just bombed a sovereign nation without ANY vote or congressional approval. he IS a literal mad king right now and absolutely no one in government is going to do anything about it except for write a strongly worded FUCKING letter.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

We have to impeach him.

They practiced on Gaza. A reminder to stand up against injustice and atrocity everywhere. Because it’s morally required of us. But also because if they get away with it in one place, they try it in another and another and another.

This is incredibly, INCREDIBLY, evil

Both parties have taken part in exactly this kind of behaviour since the end of WWII. It has never stopped. This is just how America does business. You just ignore it when it’s Dems dropping bombs.

Regime change is bad, don't give them any sort of inch that an invasion of Venezuela is AT ALL appropriate

Best part of Ghost of Yotei is getting to do this to samurai

This all makes sense, even the most watched actor (he's a minor Coens guy) #Letterboxdwrapped

the New York Times is so very responsible for the state of trans rights in the US right now due to their concerted effort to promote and normalize anti-trans bigotry and propaganda it was INTENTIONAL, like we’ve been telling you all along
