“It compiles on my machine.”

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another (gift article) wapo.st/3MeOGki

Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates. Thread [1/9]

I have had trouble clicking with games where my character was bound to suffer, but #Desperation puts you more in the role of writer or script editor and less embodying an individual, which somehow makes it easier to inflict pain on them. It’s ingenious. Worth a look!

Cat the GM: [starts making biscuits on X Card] Player: But- Cat the GM: [hissss]

Wow. My theatre kid* will be one of the leads in a production of R&G Are Dead this coming spring, so we've been talking about Stoppard's work a lot around here. * she is 25, so not a kid, but you know what I mean

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine. We executed multiple members of that crew.

Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead. Life is expensive, things are hard. Drop coins to humans, not AI, or big corporations today. QRP with your links!

Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I playtested this at Metatopia and it is _so damn cool_.

Post your favorite LOTR character, wrong answers only

Post your favourite "The Lord Of The Rings" character... wrong answers only.

The Jewish version is you give your name as "Baruch atah Ad!nai, m'chayeh…." and half answers "hameitim" and the other answers "hakol"

Happy Black Pie Day! I am a huge fan of the traditional media portrayal of black pie day - a day for friends to come together, hang out, play games and share pie in a low stress manner, but I think we sometimes forget the real meaning of Black Pie Day.

“denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility” means strip citizenship from people who dissent. As observed before this guy says a lot of shit that never actually happens. But this is some really bad rhetoric.

Good morning! Meg and I just added community copies to all of our games on Itch. I always say "if times are tight," but we all know that times are tight. lumpley.itch.io

As a late teen/early 20 person I remember Comedy Central doing a Turkey Day marathon of MST3K. Thats what was on my family’s TV rather than parades and football. Not a thing wrong with parades and football, just noting that my family is weird

A corollary to "please talk about indie games you like on social media" is: "Virtually all games are indie games." D&D and Catan probably don't need your marketing boost, but you can assume almost everything in the games hobby does and, honestly, creating new D&D and Catan players doesn't hurt.

Pecan pie is amazing. If you don‘t like it can I have yours?

This was us but with music Luckily they both grew beyond what we started them with, but our girl still reports it doesn't quite feel like a proper con without listening to The Cure and Depeche Mode on the road trip there
