Curse the BS character limit... :P

Anyway, Proprietor of Midgets was almost definitely someone who had a circus or side-show that was an act of midgets doing things like clowning.

Anyway, we are playing Night in the Woods together and voice-acting everything ‘for spooky season’

The child is 18 today, which is a weird age to be in Japan now. Old enough to vote; not old enough to drink, and so on.

It feels like a huge weight of responsibility has been removed. We got her THIS far at least. It will never end, the responsibility will never go away…but we made it this far.

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election

Reform UK has received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations...

Anticommunism is a hell of a drug

New York Times article talking about how "few citizens dare to protest" its construction of electric car and high-speed train infrastructure. No information provided as to why they would want to do such a thing

Just in case, I have managed to get it back to newish condition with a lot of baking soda and scrubbing, but the first time you bake in it, it comes back. I gave up on cleaning it beyond the bare minimum

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Workin’ on my naan again

There is this insuperable problem that the bottom tastes like pizza ‘cause it is baked in a pizza oven, not a tandoor. That’s not a terrible thing but it’s not quite right either.

Garlic naan cooling on a rack. Looks fluffy and crispy

Yeah, it’s just been kind of a shock for me moving from mostly console back to Steam-land recently. I can’t remember seeing these huge updates to fully-downloaded games even a few years back. But I guess they are just a convenience that makes the game run faster w/o stutters when compiling

Makes sense, thanks. A friend who is a technical art lead described it like this:

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

CR C4 seems to be off to a great start. Unlike C3, it's actually about something, and the players brought characters that are actively engaged with that something. It's an overwhelming amount of worldbuilding and character introduction to get through but BLM keeps it steaming along

who's hype for Campaign 4 today

i.e. somebody smarter than them, that is more comfortable in their own skin, that actively learns and grows
