GOLD TEETH has launched! It's a piratical TTRPG set in a cursed version of the Age of Sail, with 350 pages of briny phantasmagoria, colonial terror and nauseating seafood. It's part Master & Commander, part Blackadder, left to ripen in the sun like a beached porpoise. teethrpg.itch.io/gold-teeth

Another spread from the book featuring a large illustration of a ship cresting a wave. On the opposing page is a description of the fictional island of Iguanique and a picture of a skull sprouting tube worms.

For the love of god stop trying to ban kids from social media and actually regulate social media. It's such a pathetic cop-out that fails to address the myriad problems sites like X and Facebook are causing while cloaking it in "but we're protecting the children". Bollocks you are.

CENTCOM told me Iran keeps hitting their high-value assets so I asked how many they have and they said they just go to the Pentagon and get new ones afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding high-value assets to the Iranians and then INDOPACOM started crying

"The artwork has already been concealed by large sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers". Of course it has. That is how the British state deals with problems, just cover them up and don't let anyone get close. Not to mention the uniformed guards.

I continue to be disappointed that Bluesky doesn't offer any real MFA options. Running a major platform and not offering *at least* TOTP, but ideally hardware keys and (despite my misgivings) passkeys, is really inexcusable.

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social regarding the OGWN AI discussion, there are lots of nerds who are deeply concerned about the current AI push, because we understand how it works and its limitations, and it's terrifying how *certain* people are about anything ChatGPT tells them.

Labour deserve to lose to Reform. It's going to be disastrous for the country, but the way they've acted in the last 9 months has veered between pathetic and hateful with very little to be positive about. Whoever is running their policy team needs to be taken out and publicly shot.

A Message Of Hope From Global Tetrahedron

-Global TetrahedronWe have taken another proud, collective stride toward dystopia.

A bankruptcy court has denied the sale of InfoWars following a month of drawn-out legal proceedings. The experience was long and punishing for all involved, and the final outcome is inconclusive: The InfoWars assets remain in limbo. Everything is now in doubt and everyone is worse off than before.
