Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

A chance of seeing Northern Lights tonight. Best of luck to anyone trying to spot them. Can start looking North over the next few hours if you have clear skies.

As usual, "keep politics out of gaming" means "support the conservative status quo, but don't dare talk about anything innovative or new or diverse". Increasingly, it also means, "don't talk about caring about others."
That's anathema to a hobby built on imagination and community.

They’re only responding by protecting themselves from armed thugs invading their neighborhoods just like the Right keeps claiming guns are for.

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

Mario's La Fiesta in Berkeley, Ca. I went there every year for lunch by myself for my birthday. Got a grilled ground beef burrito and a chicken flauta. Later in life, Maro's nephew would become a customer of mine and we started holding store events there. Mario retired then passed away years ago.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.
