I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The @nytimes hasn't written a single article asking if "voters will think Tom Tiffany is too radical" because he is an election-denying, pro-ICE, authoritarian extremist. Somehow, his position on the political spectrum has disappeared completely from the National and State Conversations™️

I’m 47 years old and I’ve never traveled anywhere by air where both the out and back flights took off on time. Who enjoys this? Stop subsidizing air travel. Let the prices skyrocket, and let demand vanish. Reduce the extreme CO2 emissions. Do more virtually, and invest our taxes in rail instead.

The moderators of the King George County Community Facebook page took a post about this story down and told me it’s because it is “stirring the pot.” Wouldn’t it be great if everyone on Bluesky saw this story in response to their censorship? www.advocate.com/opinion/king...

Setting aside the embarrassing self-own of it all, there's something really important here. It speaks to why Trump's people love him, and also why people love Mamdani. A bias toward action MATTERS. People want to see leaders acting and acting decisively. The sense of momentum is contagious 🧵

I'm sorry, but the Democratic establishment doesn't get to say "these are low turnout primaries, they don't mean anything." Ritchie Torres, who unlike Espaillat and Goldman, *trounced* his primary challenger got a *total* of 24k votes. Chevalier got 33k Valdez got 38k Lander got 55k

Big-D Democratic politics is built from trust networks -- people who work hard for one another and generally bend toward one another on issues, ensuring a liberal, slightly-left-of-center consensus. Individuals can have passions, but nothing that competes with the trust network's group identity. 1/5

"Affordability Crisis" is such a cute way to say "Recession," amirite? I'm glad we're acknowledging that it's a crisis that 42% of the U.S. population is unable to afford all their basic needs, but Democrats don't seem to be TREATING it like a crisis. Why?

Anyone write or read a good & detailed review of Strongholds & Followers? I'd like to see some thoughtful analysis. My own opinion is that its kind of the pinnacle of design in the D&D approach to settlement management. Curious about others’ opinions, even if they disagree with me.

Domain-level play was a part of D&D from the start. I always wanted it to be good, but it was never actually all that good. Who does it well? I like how Forbidden Lands and Pathfinder do it. Those are wide & shallow systems. That's smart; people will only ever play them once. What others?

Democrats needs to be heading to DC tonight and gather in Congress to move for impeachment even if Congress led by Republican bootlickers is “on recess.” Schumer/Jeffries should be issuing calls for Dems to get back in DC now while have their leadership staffers prep impeachment resolutions now.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Entanglements in Blades in the Dark are great, but it's not the system of “roll a bad thing” that’s so good. It's the way each Entanglement prompts action. They're not fait accompli misfortune. They're “here's a tough situation - act!” with minor Mechanical guidance. Is there a design term for that?

What if a settlement system for a fantasy RPG wasn't built as a GAME, but as a STORY ENGINE instead? What if it didn't constantly process GAME choices into GAME outputs but STORY choices into STORY outputs? Stay tuned.

Every day killing people in Iran could have been 3 days of SNAP. Every bomb we drop is a huge pile of money we could have used to help humans. A $35 million fighter jet is money that would be transformational for a rehab clinic or food bank.
