This is rough and gets harder as it goes on. Horrible stuff.
Any politician you're considering supporting for 2026 and beyond should be talking about accountability and prosecution of everyone from architects to rank and file of this.

This is heartbreaking and if you're human this should piss you the fuck off — regardless of where you stand in the spectrum of politics.

It's called nuworm and you can play it for free in the browser.

This essay, wow. "For years we've been pointing out how dangerous the far right is. No reaction. The feeling our warnings are being ignored is absolutely frustrating...The persecution of refugees is just the beginning. The end is already visible. We have warned you." www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2024...
Rechtsextremismus: Wir haben Euch gewarnt
Ein brennendes Haus in Solingen. Eine vierköpfige Familie stirbt in den Flammen. Brandstiftung. Die Schlagzeilen sind nicht von 1993, sondern von jetzt. Schon wieder.

Bracing analysis of the rise of the far-right in Germany: "there are widespread right-wing extremist networks within the security services, the police, and the armed forces. Europe-wide networks of fascists are operating unhindered. Something is brewing. If we don't react now, it will be too late."
»Wir haben vor der AfD gewarnt, als sie am Horizont auftauchte. Keine Reaktion. Im Gegenteil – ihre Vertreter:innen saßen in jeder Talkshow, bevor die AfD auch nur ein einziges Landtagsmandat hatte. Mit dem Erfolg, dass sie nun eine einflussreiche Partei ist.« www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2024...

This is a great way to handle credits! I love it!
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

It's a fair amount of work to produce this podcast - and it doesn't give me an income stream at the moment, so I can only do this in fits and starts.
For a peek behind the curtain, the dialogue portion for episode 13 is 30 minutes, down from ~40 minutes, and it took me close to 4 hours to do - that's about 1 hour for 10 minutes! I listen to everything, cut gaps, most filler words, and do some minor editing of discussions or for clarity.

Updates: Act II is in motion! Episode 11 is done, episode 12 is coming back from mastering soon, and any tweaks to that and it'll be done. I just finished editing the dialogue for episode 13, and sound design is next.
I'm building a little backlog again before I release because I do want a flow.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror.
Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after.
Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.)
I’m researching 🤓

I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

On Friday another performer complimented my stage presence and I didn't have a good response for that, just said, "thanks... i practice it!"
Which I do! Core aspects of my acting tools are about being in a space and the space holding you, moving the space and the space moving you.

This art nouveau tile we have looks like a fairy crying and where the tears hit the ground, red berrys spring up and ripen!
What are they crying over? And what's their station that affords them such a green jacket with shoulder pads like those?!

I've had 3 careers at this point and it's gone like this:
1. Artist blacksmithing in Ukraine or stay at a shitty job having just been dumped?
2. Volunteered too hard for peace and they started paying me.
3. I love rpgs & playing characters, I desperately want, need to to act & perform.

Every time I hear about how AI companies are stealing from people to make their fucked up products, I think of Aaron Swartz and what they did to him.
Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,
NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
