“Rather than merely a slur for droids, ‘clanker’ was in fact an ironic statement of pride re-appropriated by the sentient machines of the Confederacy…..to see it as wholly negative is to elide the discursive complexity of identity construction in the Clone Wars….”

Read the interview and she explains that she wants people to understand what happened to her because it shows how horrible things must be for Palestinians who are not internationally famous white women

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

@funcityventures.bsky.social also made a ton of modifications to Shadowrun in the middle of their campaign to fit their playstyle, I think there's a doc describing their version of the system somewhere

In that case, I know @rudetales.bsky.social implemented their own simplified version of 5e for their recent campaigns. @thatguttershow.bsky.social also designed their own CoC-inspired system to meet their needs for a show.

very funny to pretend to be mad about "forced diversity" and affirmative action and then try to make a policy that literally says you have to take american students even if they're less qualified than international students

skimming the wiki seems to suggest that they are proud to drink blood, but they just don't tell anyone that sometimes they kill innocent people to do it. ie "we're vampires but we swear we're the good kind 😇 "

I saw the interview. I didn't like the way he asked Mamdani about Israel but it's also nothing even remotely close to the proposed "game" in this article. He asked a stupid but common question, Mamdani gave a clear response with support from Lander, and that was like 1 minute of the interview.

given that the game didn't happen and there's no information on his role in thisnI don't think it's clear that he was okay with it
