I gotta love a response to looking for a #TTRPG for kids being a link to a blog about how deadly combat mechanics discourage violent in-game solutions and why an OSR game is appropriate. Not that an OSR game is necessarily inappropriate, but "deadly combat encourages problem solving" is a take.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is on Capitol Hill today.

He tells me about Zohran Mamdani announcing he's moving into Gracie Mansion:
"Beware of the ghost. I told [Zohran] about it. So the ghost is there. It's a friendly ghost, as long as you're doing right by the city. If you don't become right by the city, he turns into a poltergeist."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreigis3istuaryrpny4ksmoh46xcs3yfowvfuj3t3iouxpy5uiyw2fq@jpeg)

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

This is a very judgmental thing to say.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Time to share another Miss Machete Favorite:
Lifeforce (1985)
A space mission stumbles on a strange ship, and the figures on board get brought to Earth. Vampire-like aliens are unleashed on the world.
Energy zombies, naked ladies murdering, Sir Patrick Stewart is there.
Who else loves this movie?

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves
Unfortunately, lawmakers probably won’t end up extending them, either.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.
