“New Zoo Revue,” but the characters start to exhibit the behaviors of the animals. Charlie the owl eats Freddie Frog, and Henrietta Hippo mauls Doug, Emma Jo, and Mr. Dingle for getting too close to her territory.

Onthisday in 1789, the Bastille was stormed in Paris, a key turning point of the French Revolution. 3.5 years later Louis XVI was executed by guillotine. We look at the deluge of prints that emerged depicting his death publicdomainreview.tumblr.com/post/8221146...

Walking around the neighborhood, I admire a neighbor’s yard that is filled with hibiscus flowers, each a different color: pink, red, yellow. Me? I don’t have room for that many, so I just have this one, which is all the colors.
A hibiscus bloom: blood-red in the center, pink around that, fire-engine red past that, bleeding into yellow tips so that the transitions looks almost orange.

it is something i hit on a lot, that of the many, many bad reasons all the internet regulation stuff is aimed at kids instead of actual companies, CEOs, the ones actually doing harm - is it's cuz kids don't have any political power and can't do shit about it. they're a 'no cost' target here.

Just watched “Disclosure Day:” it’s classic Spielberg, with tight action sequences, endearing character moments, and outstanding performances! The CGI hurts it, though, and detracts from the ending, to the point where initial reactions were negative, despite my family’s enjoying all but the end.

Years ago I saw an ad showing a DJ with headphones grooving at a turntable with no record on it. People rightfully tore into it for gesturing at the vague shape of an activity without respecting it enough to represent it accurately. This is that ignorance & incuriosity at scale, error as intention.

An illustration of why the appeal to authority fallacy works: my daughter was just complaining how Amazon Prime is obviously using AI to generate false content warnings/ratings for its shows (“Foul Language” for Poirot?

Now live on Twelve Pins Press: "Regime Change Super Soldiers" and Other Games. An incomplete anthology of smaller RPGs which comment on political violence, war and imperialism. Proceeds are donated to fund the revolution. Direct 🔗 in next post.
The cover and back page of a zine entitled "regime change super soldiers"A collection of political games by Laurie O’Connel, this incomplete anthology comments on political violence, war and imperialism. O’Connel’s modern take on the somewhat restrictive form of the role-playing game asks what a game writer or player living through the death agony of the US empire can possibly say about topics which are not at all “fun”. The four games within, Regime Change Super Soldiers, Man vs Beast (or: This Game Does Not Condone Murder), Manufacturing CNNsent, and High Score,  range in both number of participants and style, from one to many players and from tongue-in-cheek satire to direct participation. “You can tell from [O’Connel’s] art that he sees the world and does not blink.” Michael Elliot
