this & other comments i've seen about how bluesky needs to "improve its algorithm" suggest a lot of people have grown to like a totally passive social media experience where a computer pushes an endless stream of content tailored to what it thinks they would like while they clap like seals

ever since man first started living indoors, he dreamed of going up onto the roof, to just kind of check out what's going on up there. aviation, the moon landing, ladders––it all stems from that primordial desire

I have to say, one of my favorite early OGL moments was when some of the other White Wolf developers, editors, artists, and graphic designers managed to assemble the Creature Collection on short notice and beat the Monster Manual to game store shelves.
I think the damage was largely done back in 2000 when Ryan Dancey (then in charge of RPG development in WotC) came up with the OGL, with the explicit intention of driving all other systems out of the market. By opening up D&D, it enticed other publishers to support D20, and forget their own stuff.

I'm still on vacation here in New Orleans but Mardi Gras is over and the parking lot across from my hotel is once again full of identical white pickup trucks. The good times are over. I suppose I'll log in some of my own work before brunch.

while wandering around New Orleans today discussing Cake (the band) my girlfriend and I settled on "is The Doors ska?" as the most annoying question either of us has ever asked. Horrible idea, horrible mouthfeel even when you say it

its insane that drafting as an occupation used to just involve countless huge rooms of dads in shirts and ties, scattered all over the country, leaning over tables with their asses perked up all day as their 9-5 job

When you're a kid and everything is bad, you run away from home. Grace Cather just did, crashing the weirdest club in LA, finding a group of girls to hang with and a house to stay in.
Only that house has been waiting for someone just like her.

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....
funded by automakers
because their cars were killing pedestrians
So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.
Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.
Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

I understand why people are doing it but I do not care for the Richard Hanania screenshots. If I cared what the nasty son of Nicolas Cage's character from Longlegs was up to, or thought about current events, I would have written the worst screenplay of all time addressing that very question.

This is actually a good test case for my firm but quiet conviction that most executive-level business decisions are based on nothing at all, and a company might as well roll dice and save itself a $350,000 a year salary

Sadly though, a committed cast and haunting score can only do so much to distract from the film's terribly cheap looking, comically treacherous roads, and a bridge so poorly constructed I spent the whole scene genuinely worried it may collapse under these trucks.
