Audible is now a scam. They want you to buy a years worth of credits but if you don’t use them in time they take them away. What a waste of money.

When the US pulled out of Afghanistan many Afghans who worked alongside them were offered TPS to keep them safe from execution by the Taliban.
But in July the Trump administration ended Afghan TPS, putting 11K Afghan refugees in the US at risk of deportation and death.

If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

So...let's see now...it's Thanksgiving Day afternoon here in the US. Americans are probably feeling a little slow and logy on account of overeating. Non-Americans, if you're feeling a little slow and logy, I don't know what to tell you.
I do, though, actually.

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

Everyone talking like Mongoose is doing wrong here. But if the community supported their existing Traveller line with better sales obviously they'd rather publish for 1 system instead of 2. (Of course Bsky considers indie folk "the community" and the (many more) fans of trad or both as rpg MAGA.)
