If you were into TTRPGs in the late 90s and early 2000s, you might remember a website I ran called the Gaming Outpost. It was, for a time, the biggest TTRPG site out there, was the birthplace of indie RPGs, and the early home of several now prominent designers. It went offline 20 years ago.

It’s kind of worse than this thread because Rationalists hold that monogamy is a now-illogical holdover from worrying about paternity. So, if you don’t want to participate you are providing evidence of your irrationality

A lot of these dudes need to stop worrying about AGI paper clipping all of humanity and start worrying about California employment law because this industry has the most obviously hostile work environment I have ever seen.

Right before I left twitter for good, I got into some real humdingers because I thought it was irresponsible to detonate thousands of explosive devices when you had zero idea where they were located.

Buying into a ludicrous fantasy vision of how immigration stops function in the real world is a moral choice, not a matter of cognitive horsepower. You don’t have to be terribly bright to grasp that’s not actually how things work; you just have to care.

"James Talarico went on Fox News and publicly walked back his support for trans rights. … It is presumed as common knowledge that Talarico 'must' do this in order to have a chance of winning. A big problem for that idea is that prior to these comments Talarico was doing exceptionally well."

After folding on trans rights, James Talarico does not have my respect. Honestly, fuck him. And yet, Ken Paxton (R) must lose.

"The overwhelming instinct is to view calls for 100 million deportations in the US, civil war in the UK, arresting or executing political leaders, eliminating of trans people, rolling women's rights back centuries, legalising domestic violence, and global genocide as a sort of trolling…"

Many analysts (and most politicians) are allergic to acknowledging that some significant part of the electorate just fundamentally wants evil things. They must just APPEAR to want evil things because of some underlying rational desire.

Wouldn't it be weird if the racist billionaire who bankrolled and took credit for the neo-Nazi victory in Germany was somehow involved in American politics too? Can you even imagine? I bet the media would have a field day asking politicians who aligned with him and took his money for statements!

This is, incidentally, ALWAYS where the anti-trans playbook was going to lead, because they fundamentally conceptualized being trans as having a mental disability, and every last scrap of ableism they were covert with there, they're mask off on now. They must be rejected--in whole. Hobbes is right.

I can’t wait to read the NYT op-ed from Renee Good’s wife about grief on the one year anniversary of her death. Surely the NYT will extend the same grace to Becca Good—whose partner died protesting against state power—as it has to Erica Kirk—whose partner died defending white supremacy

The progression of certain thinkers from denying the validity of trans people to denying the validity of disabilities is a nice illustration of the way in which transphobic habits of mind can quickly evolve into a kind of acquired sociopathy.

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.

Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.
