americans view 9/11 as a generation-defining national disaster; you have to understand that in many countries the generation-defining national disaster started as a line item in the State Department's budget

There's something very quaint about villains like Cathy Ames and Javert who encounter an irreconcilable contradiction inherent in their worldview and crash out over it in a reality where the villains view those contradictions as part of the fun.

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Democrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump Demands
The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

then after, people who are acutely subjected to this pain feel abandoned by the majority as the majorities fury is siphoned off or doused in overwork or simply additional atrocities so that marginalized communities feel disconnected from the majority who truly do care but aren't allowed action

Every AI/HCI paper I review now just sounds like this.
Research [25] shows that people [26] enjoy the feeling of winning games [3,5,19]. Enjoying things can lead to longer life expectancy [2], higher economic productivity [9,22,33-40,302] and improve mental health [9]. Yet many games still include losing players [67,4]. A recent study showed that less than half of the players in a Chess [1] match win on average [42]. We have developed an LLM-driven co-creative [66], user-led [11], mixed-initiative [80] assistant for Chess [2], through which players can redefine the rules of Chess [3] using generative AI prompting such that they are the winner of Chess [4]. A study (n=3) showed that 100\% of people felt better, healthier and more self-actualised after using our tool, showing that this may be the way forward for games and human culture more broadly in the future.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

PbtA fans, here's my challenge to you. For the next 12 months, when somebody asks how PbtA works, tell them that normally a 10+ is a critical hit, a 7-9 is a hit, and a 6- is a compromise, but that unusually challenging or dangerous situations can bump itdown.

this is why trying to see far into the future will drive you insane, all you can see is how far away the world you want still is. but the more straightforwardly oppressive world of the distant past is also far away! because small people did small things that added up over time!

if you begin feminist history at #MeToo then it's easy to despair that nothing has changed (or that some things have actually gotten worse). if you take a much longer view though things have changed so much! the little gestures we make today are adding up to something we can't see yet!
