DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Yesterday's book buys. Two new releases. Though I've just heard the release date for the Dungeon Book is the 11th. That explains why it was on top of the shelves and not with the other books by @mytholder.bsky.social

Really looking forward to listening to this. Read this collection earlier this year, and was blown away by it! For its weirdness, it's deep roots in fairy and folklore, as well as connecting me to a vaguely remembered Scotland that once was, and is still on the cusp of memory.

If I were to be the museum robbing type, I'd be quite tempted to liberate the Lewis Chessmen from the British museum. Also, in saying that, I think this seems to be on point for this book (that I am looking forward too)

Picked these up this week. In such good condition, I doubt they've been played. Never been so happy to get some 20 year old RPG books that I'm unlikely to get to the table!

Sign up for this kickstarter. It's a reissue of Cold City, one of the seminal games of the 2000s. Also including the companion/twin game Hot War, both revised and reimagined for modern gamers.

Do you design TTPRG zines that are explicitly designed to be printed on a home printer or even photocopied at the library? Can I give you a metaphorical soapbox to stand on while I interview you? (I'd appreciate reposts on this one, I'm trying to reach more than just my inner circle)

The words "print it yourself, tabletop roleplaying game zine culture" are printed in a medley of typesets on a textured paper. One looks digital, another stamped, and the third is handwritten.
