It's not the most urgent problem in the world, but it sure would be nice if Wizards of the Coast went ahead and released the entire D&D 3.5 and d20 Modern SRDs into Creative Commons, unmodified and unredacted. You know, before we have to remind them why they had to do that for the 5e SRD.

If you do not do what you can to keep Republicans out of power right now, and you actively tell other people not to vote either, you are killing transgender Americans. While I say there's no wrong way to be transgender, pulling a Milo Y and empowering the people who want you dead is an exception.

Ad Astra Games learned about in-house Print-on-Demand publishing from Timeline Ltd's new owners when they reprinted The Morrow Project. I knew of a new kind of laser printer with lower costs-per-click. We shared what we knew with Amarillo Design Bureau, who adopted the process post-haste.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

The Krytos Trap, by Michael A Stackpole. Chapter 45.
"Mon Mothma faced the holocams one last time. 'Citizens of the New Republic, the last vestige of the Empire's evil has been rooted out of Coruscant. What was once an Empire is now just a collection of bitter people clutching at whatever power they can find to keep themselves apart from those they have hurt. What they do not realize, and the reason they are doomed to failure, is that all power in the galaxy comes from the free and willful investing of power by one person in another. Human and non-human, gendered or not, young, old, hale or infirm, we can only give power, we cannot take it. Stolen power evaporates and when it does, the empires that were built on it and of it collapse, never to rise again.'"

I don't support any taxpayer money going toward life-saving healthcare for Trump supporters, but thankfully I'm not allowed to make that decision. Trump supporters should not be allowed to retract life-saving healthcare from their political enemies, either.

Early infighting between anti-fascist factions is pretty common. Quite a few of them have still managed to form successful coalitions and win. If anti-Trump folks are going to squabble and infight, now is probably the absolute best time. Better to get it worked out as soon as possible.

A while ago, someone on here (I think @scottbot.bsky.social?) compared the way a lot of people treat GenAI now to the way people treated radium in the 1920s and 30s (ooh, let's put it in a health tonic! toothpaste! haemorrhoid cream!). I think about that a lot.

At this point, I'm just angry that people as stupid as Trump and Noem have the ability to go through life not understanding how stupid they are. If there were any justice in the world, they'd be put in a room and told how stupid they were 24/7 until it finally sunk into their stupid heads.

I really want to talk about non-political stuff more, but whenever I get talking about tabletop RPGs, I just babble endlessly. So, anyway, I'm playing the Ys series video games for the first time since I played Ys 3 on the SNES. Beat the 1-2 remakes, playing 3 remake, have Origins to play later.

Genuinely baffled about why pundits on both sides are upset about the Qatar plane and taking a stand after ignoring dozens of other blatant acts of corruption. Like, why? What the hell? Crypto scams, selling Tesla on the White House lawn, etc, was fine with them. But this stupid plane matters?

🧵 I am not a political scientist nor a historian. I am not especially learned nor wise. But there is a basic bit of civics that seems to have been forgotten. Many of the protests against the current regime in the US are framed as: "It's illegal. There must be rule of law," or 1/11

Yes, this is a parody. In NYTimes font:

The rate of '00s conservatives suddenly talking about the need for general strikes and abolishing ICE is increasing. Which is good, but so weird. Based on my calculations, we have less than a month before George W. Bush and Bill O'Reilly take a selfie showing off their matching Che Guevera shirts.

All of these spoke to me, deeply.
A series of Tumblr posts:

The old magic persists thanks to its unfathomable power."
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb.

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.
