A total aside given everything going on in the world, but I feel like, given a similarity of background and outlooks, and that within ten minutes of an interview he can’t not reference Sin Eaters and Omelas, Brennan Lee Mulligan and I would be either Best Friends (TM) or Eternal Nemeses.

One of my stress responses is to dive deeply into some manual project. The last few months have been triggering that a lot. Finally won a discussion with the building association to turn the courtyard into a community garden. Next fight is a compost bin and bird feeder. Plants are almost ready to go

Given I-40 still being out after the hurricane, had to take a different route to go back to NC this time. Which, on the way back, gave me the opportunity to stop by a particular monument and just barely avoid a snowstorm.

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

Israel burns northern Gaza’s last functioning hospital; patients and staff forcibly removed
Isreali military vehicles surrounded the hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, and communications had been cut off.

I’ve been playing and running TTRG’s for a while, currently running an extremely hacked-n-slashed version of the 2E Birthright module, set in a different world, ported to 3.5 and then to 5e (ask me about trying to design a University system that would progres a research tree over domain turns…)…

I grew up with at least one high school English class that had a section specifically on talking without a Southern accent. Outside of getting drunk, tired, angry, or just getting off the phone with family, I got really good at hiding it. 1/2
I knew some would interpret it weirdly.

But I've had endless notes from people who felt they had to get rid of their 'country' accent for one reason or another. I was born on a tiny dairy farm in the middle of nowhere and I know what Rogue's thinking at this moment.
Looks like @gailsimone.bsky.social was correct, so many people got mad at this even though we don't know any context to what led to this. Also there's no way gambit didn't know about it so I'm curious why logan was the one who pointed it out.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

This Nancy Mace thing is going to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Mace is deliberately bullying another person, one of their colleagues. And if House Dems are too chickenshit to defend their own colleague over this open, blatant hate, what the hell is the point of them anymore.

We tried to warn you about Jim stewartson, jack Hopkins and Dave troy for a reason, because they are dangerous and are going to get people killed or thrown in camps.
And here they go! Blue resistance "influencers" claiming the 2024 presidential election was stolen and are now calling for a liberal version of January 6. These people are dangerous.

Best thing you can do is block Jack Hopkins, Jim Stewartson, Dave Troy, Jackie Singh and the rest.

Sometimes you make a TTRPG prop that is meant to be merely representative. You’re short on time and use the Draconic font from Skyrim and write plot-relevant secrets for content. You forget that at least some of your players are the same kinds of nerds who know the font. Good for them in the end.

Amazing.

D&D-ish first post? Sometimes they don’t make a miniature large enough for your giant, mutated, multi-headed, evil crocodile that has spent centuries feasting on and absorbing the blood powers of nobles foolish enough to hunt it. So, you make a poorly-painted articulated cardboard puppet.
