not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

The first CONTROL and Alan Wake 2 are some of the best games I've ever played. Super excited about this one.

And now ... it's the official (!) trailer for A WALL IS ALSO A ROAD, which @chanda.blacksky.app called "a magnificent work of cosmic imagination." Please pre-order! Every little bit helps. The book drops on 10/6. youtu.be/BoTU03qQxKM?...

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

I don’t talk about real life on Main but my comment requires credentialing: i was at food banks 4x times last month, trying to support etc. Food insecurity is off the charts & I just don’t see anything on the horizon to help people. It’s terrifying. I just come home and sulk and cry and dissociate.

Just got my author copies of the new FIFTH SEASON RPG book from Green Ronin! This is the special edition, and it's gorgeous. Ozzy agrees. Official release is on June 20, available in most game and book stores. You can still preorder here: greenroninstore.com/products/fif...
A ginger cat sits beside a large hardcover book. The title reads FIFTH SEASON: ROLEPLAYING IN THE STILLNESS. Cover is gray and marbled like stone, with a black streak down the middle. In the black streak is a stylized rendering of a large double-pointed crystal.

Boots Riley quote: There’s a trillion dollars already invested in this technology, and a certain amount of the hype around it is just people scamming the same way we saw with NFTs.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
