It’s been a good year for deckbuilders - but what about DICEbuilders? 🎲 Build your dice and purify the ever-encroaching corruption in Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, which you can now get on Oncade! 🤯

Randomly saw a Prime movie called Playdate, with Kevin James and Alan Ritchson. Far more entertaining than it had any right to be, a fun buddy comedy with some big surprises. I'd recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Reacher

He adds that 'Dispatch' is his game of the year and AI couldn't possibly make something like that

"Owned a home in the U.S. for 30 years": I try not to look down on others, but the people who swallowed the bait that he'd only deport 'bad hombres' and 'criminals' have a gullibility so intense that it warrants study by science, if only this country still did that.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Just got back from seeing Wicked For Good. Though I think the first movie slightly edged it out, still an incredible movie with great music. Lots of neat echoes and one early song that almost had me ugly crying. Long live the Wicked Witch!

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Okay I started Morsels finally. So far I like the overall vibe and style, but I'm perplexed by all the giant items you have to lug around, rendering you temporarily incapable of attacking. For those who've played it, does this ever improve?

I don’t hate AI enough. I can hate it more.
I don't know how many more ways I can scream fuck AI. It's ruining lives, communities and ecosystems for what? Italian brainrot videos? Deepfake porn? Is this how we really want to move forward as a species?

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
