Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

An epic, 3-player, 5-hour(!) game of Oath yesterday. Many backs were stabbed, several times. I as the Chancellor lost... because of thieving Citizens. A truly crazy finale too. My favorite session so far, I think. Thanks again @colewehrle.bsky.social & @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social for #oathboardgame

What the "anti-escalationists" of all stripes don't realize (or pretend they don't) is that if the Russo-Ukrainian war is ended on Russia's terms, then ALL disputed territories anywhere are immediately up for grabs. Because military force will once again be an acceptable way to change state borders.

One of the books in my office is 290 years old. It’s still in excellent condition and easy to read. I wonder how easy it’ll be to read electronic texts 290 years from now. I expect it’ll be rather trickier.

I have a habit of using thematically appropriate Magic cards as bookmarks, even if the connection only makes sense to me. For whatever reason, "Konda, Lord of Eiganjo" seemed right for "Inventing the Renaissance" by @adapalmer.bsky.social, even though Konda is from a Japanese-inspired fantasy world.

In wartime Ukraine, one’s future can vanish in a heartbeat. That’s why some Ukrainians are turning to tarot — a deck of cards that symbolizes life’s themes, spiritual lessons, and everyday experiences, used for both divination and self-reflection — to gain some semblance of control amid chaos.
It’s all in the cards — Ukrainians consult tarot readers about wartime fears
The viewer count ticks upward — dozens, then hundreds, sometimes nearly a thousand. Just about everyone has tuned in for the same reason: to hear Tetya (Auntie) Fania’s latest predictions about the th...

Religious values & beliefs, & the attendant metaphysical commitments or presuppositions thereof are all up inside all of our tech, & the questions we should be asking ourselves are "whose values & beliefs" & "what does their being woven in through our technosocial reality then do to the rest of us."
Remember: Tech & Religion have *Always* influenced each other. In the West, they used to be explicitly the same thing; elsewhere in the world, they still are. Accepting & learning to parse those motivating values better equips us to understand— & counter— their resulting sociotechnical developments.
