So pretty much my only exposure to "86" had been Wake County's litter campaign that ran for a little over a decade. I had no idea it was so sinister. www.wake.gov/departments-...

Initiative of the Wake County Solid Waste Management Division. Goal is to reduce roadside litter through advertising, individually led cleanups, and group litter removal events.

Of all of the post-splashdown photos from the Artemis II mission, this is my favorite. It captures the best of who we are, the best of who we can be. (More here: www.nasa.gov/gallery/arte...)
NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, left, and NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist are seen sitting on a Navy MH-60 Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they and fellow crewmates CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission took the quartet on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Following a splashdown at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT), NASA, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force teams are working to bring the Orion spacecraft aboard the recovery ship.

Can somebody point me towards a case where a population rose up against their leaders while being actively bombed by another country? The US and Israel expecting that seems like a pipe dream.

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum
“Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that - “

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes -“

“But they starts with thinking about people as things…”

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

/4 It’s more likely to do things that are stupid, showy, overtly thuggish and swaggering, and flattering to Trump, and that promote his narratives in a loud and dumb way. So saying, “eh, I don’t think they’d try that” is not saying “they are too noble and law-abiding to do that.”

I've been developing this D&D setting, 'Dalagol', for over a year now. It takes elements of previous settings I've created and fits them into a more cohesive world. The main goal was to make something that was widely compatible with D&D 5E and could be used for multiple unrelated campaigns.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.
