Avast! We're Skies of Fortune, the Sky Pirate RPG!

We seek to evoke the Golden Age of Piracy with a bit o' magic thrown in. You can take on monsters and imperial scum in swashbuckling combat on land, or in the sky in your very own fantastical airship!

Pair with an elephant trumpeting sound effect with the volume turned up to 11 for maximum effect.

I'm a leftist, so no fan of capitalism, but I'm not so much of an idealogue that I don't hope for better outcomes for my countrymen.
If we're going to hand our service industry over to AI, then we need to account for the labor that will displace. To me, the obvious solution is UBI.

Cosplay idea: GI Robot Woody Guthrie.
GI Robot but with iconic 'This Machine Kills Fascists' acoustic guitar.

Skies of Fortune @skiesoffortune.bsky.social · 6d

If you're all in on #ai replacing human labor,
but you're not a proponent of UBI,
then you are a sociopath!

My own city is not immune from the feds, it seems.
No word on what the charges are yet, but this will certainly result in some protest actions.

Des Moines Public Schools superintendent Ian Roberts arrested by ICE, district says

"We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps," the district's release states.

What I hate most about being sick is the loss of productivity on my creative projects.

Am I being Protestant work ethic-brained, or does that not count when it has to do with making art/content?

Skies of Fortune @skiesoffortune.bsky.social · 16d

I'm feeling very animated by the Jimmy Kimmel situation. Not because I care about mediocre millionaire comedians but because this is a clear case of government censorship. Also, I recognize a good rallying point when I see one.

I will not soon forget the uninhibited dancing of the punk rockers going to see the Pogues (instead of Blink-182) at Riot Fest.
