Today, in an hour and a quarter, is the moment of astronomical solstice, when the sun will be the farthest away from the northern hemisphere. May the light and warmth return, may the coming year be more merciful, just, and kind.

The early era of White Wolf was a massive infusion of mostly very white liberal-progressiveness into gaming, a kind modern leftists find deeply flawed now. But, I can't stress this enough, that was social progress in the hobby to a degree such that some people never recovered from the shock. Both.

An anthropomorphic lemon asks about a picture of Jenna Ortega, "Who is this again?? Morticia, right?"

Some traveller once told me He's from a land so old he Saw a pair of vast and trunkless legs Near them on the sand An expression of command The sneering visage on a half-sunk head Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Lone level sands to horizon running

Since this article is making the rounds again, I guess this is a good moment as any to plug my book (despite me feeling super weird about self promotion), as I describe these dynamics in (some would argue) excruciating detail.

If you allow a government to break the law because of an “emergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

Three things I could talk about for *three hours* with no prep? I'm going to assume that's internet hyperbole. I think in smaller chunks, like an hour. * Broadway musicals of the 50s-90s * Why Kit Marlowe is the coolest figure in English Lit * Principals of live-combat larp design

In 2018, I was in a Game Theory class and the prof asked us what GG was. And someone legit, unironically said, "It was about ethics in game journalism" and it took every bit of self-restraint I had to not let my head explode into a thousand pieces.
