I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Hi all, I know it's the weekend and many of you are out for Christmas but everyone needs to come back to the office to help come up with a plausible reason we posted and then deleted the Trump pics with no notice or explanation. This is the life you chose for some reason

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

I really like this deconstruction of RPG “Doing Cool, Effective Stuff”
It gives me language to explain what I like about some systems (e.g. Shadowrun), and a better way to discuss systems in general. (I suspect I have half of this, but it’s always nice to see someone lay it out clearly).

One of the most essential questions of TTRPG design boils down to this simple truth:
We want them to be able to shoot lasers, but we don't want them to shoot lasers *all the time*.
(Shooting lasers being a proxy for Doing Cool, Effective Stuff)

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.
