RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

This will upset many powerful Texans, but it is absolutely necessary. The Eastland family has no further business having children in their care. And the personality cult around them must be broken to ensure the safety of all current & future campers in the Texas Hill Country.

This is why we need public scholarship. As soon as the @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy newscaster asked about Trump saying the image was him as a doctor, @candidamoss.bsky.social cites the 2000 years of historical iconography that indicated to everyone that the AI image was meant to cast Trump as Jesus.

As big as a fascist loser as Orban is, he's conceded. Trump wouldn't. In fact, he is still too much of a coward and twerp to have conceded 2020. Trump's last words will be "I will live forever"🤦🏼‍♂️

I used it to make my own superhero game, sort of like V&V with random tables, but stopped because I knew virtually nothing about the superhero genre at the time, except for the newspaper Spider-Man comic strip. I didn't get into comics until I bought V&V 2e & had a knowledge deficit to correct.

I was a little older, but it was the "Fantasy Game That Changed Everything" for me. I try not to be THAT old grognard, but when I look at the stuff today, compared to these ads and the bits I had from Different Worlds, it feels oddly stripped of wonder and mystery. YMMV

True. My best games were more in the fashion of the Griselda stories. Storm Bulls were the local biker gang, not the living embodiment of a myth. I get they can be both but the pendulum is waaaay to far on the minutiae of the lore, and I feel it’s lost the YGWV of old. But I’m an old crankypants.

I did a terrific job of running it with 2e, Gods of Prax, & Borderlands. It was all I needed. Cults of Terror was a bridge too far in detail. The current approach creates great art, but I liked it better when it was focused on adventuring in the real, not heroquesting. Give me Griselda not Argrath.
