You are a game designer. You have so many ideas, and so few of them are published. Perhaps none of them are. Your WIP folder is full of genius, and you know it, but you cannot bring yourself to release it in an imperfect state.

This is for you.

Presenting THE 1E MANIFESTO.

Calvin's dad: Reading SFF? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of fictional society are Omelas and Ankh-Morporkh. They all fall into these two categories. The Federation? Omelas. Waterdeep? Ankh-Morporkh. Naboo? Omelas. Coruscant? Ankh-Morporkh. Despite sucking ass to live in, Commorragh is an omelas.

Thing is, US citizens, or people legally here, have been detained by this institution since it started.

This is not a new problem. The whole agency needs to be torn down and consequences put to people.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

NEW ARRIVAL: Monster Truckers: Long Haul into the Worstlands

Get behind the wheel of a big rig as a classic monster like vampires, mummies, werewolves, ghosts and more!
tabletopbookshelf.com/blogs/news/n...
A digital promotional graphic featuring the cover art for Monster Truckers: Long Haul into the Worstlands. The art shows a group of monster characters—including a mummy, werewolf, and gill-man—posing heroically above a driving truck. Bright yellow text overlays read "NEW ARRIVAL" at the top and "NOW @ TABLETOP BOOKSHELF" at the bottom. A lore page titled "The World" featuring a weathered billboard illustration for "Crimson Brew" that depicts a vampire cowgirl toasting with skeletons. The text provides a "(Very Brief) History" of the setting, describing a past war between monsters and humanity, the use of "Necrotechnic bombs," and how the Monster Truckers Guild was formed to haul freight across the dangerous "Worstlands." A page from the Monster Truckers Guild Driver's Manual titled "Welcome Truckers." The top half features a scenic illustration of a large semi-truck parked in a desert landscape with tall rock formations; three small figures sit on top of the trailer looking out at the view. Below, the text includes an introduction and a section titled "Your Archetype and You." This section explains that players choose an archetype based on three traits—Agile, Brawny, and Crafty. It details the mechanics, stating that if a player has the appropriate trait for a specific challenge, they roll 3d6, whereas other archetypes only roll 2d6. A rulebook page titled "Making a Vehicle" featuring a large illustration of a beat-up red semi-truck equipped with a heavy-duty front plow. The text outlines a six-step list for creating a vehicle, including choosing a name, selecting a vehicle type (big rig or escort), adding details and quirks, and assigning perks.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .
Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

This should be perma-death stuff. Don't shop at Target ever again, even if they reverse course in the future.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
eladn.bsky.social Elad Nehorai @eladn.bsky.social · 12d
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
