I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… The cost per person per hour of TTRPGs is essentially undefeated in entertainment hobbies. A single purchase unlocks limitless hours of play for a group of people.

Right before they invade Gaza City, they murder the most prominent individual who would have reported on it to the world. Add this martyr to the tally - the most journalists killed in any armed conflict in history. They seek to hide the truth, by burying the truth-tellers. Hell is not hot enough.

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize: The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists. The goal is to defeat them.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them

in the short term, so-called "AI" is a mechanism for separating hype-chasing investors from their wallets in the medium term: a tool to proletarianize & impoverish creatives & white-collar professionals in the long term: a realization of long-held elite dreams of capital accumulation without labor

it's multiple factions fighting for the steering wheel, each of which has their own wildly unpopular policy goals that all conflict with each other - plus trump's self-aggrandizement, weird fixations on personal hobby-horses like tariffs, and desire to punish his enemies. there is no coherent agenda

after last weekend's anti-trump/anti-musk protests, seeing a "we need a united front that excludes liberals" vs. "we need to curtail radical elements to make normie libs more comfortable with protesting" debate continue to percolate over my feed... for the record, both of these statements are wrong

I'm sticking with "this is what they voted for," because while I bet most Trump voters didn't picture exactly this—and in fact expected something else—they knowingly empowered rich criminals under the belief that crass, crooked billionaires care about them and that anyone warning otherwise was dumb.

The more that their hands are tied trying to protect their profits, the less they will be able to focus on doing harm. "Everyone can open up a new front of struggle by identifying a vulnerability in the ruling order and going on the offensive. The more fronts there are, the safer we all will be." 🏴

Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

Are there any #TTRPG systems that use d66 (d6 percentile dice) as a resolution mechanic? I know it's pretty common to use for the referee to roll on random tables (as in Traveller, Mork Borg, Troika, etc), but wondering if it's feasible to use as a player-facing mechanic for resolving actions
