Relevant meme.
Sam from Lord of the Rings says to Gollum, "Are you doomscrolling again?" Gollum says, "Doomscrolling? Doomscrolling? Just because we has our phone out... you accuse us of doomscrolling." Sam says, "Fine, What are you scrolling then?" Gollum replies, "Dooooooooom!"

I bought some buttons.
A photograph of 11 buttons lying on a table. Two larger pink buttons depict the  Vocaloid character Miku holding a banner that says “trans rights”. three small red buttons with a white star in the background say “support local music”. Three small black buttons say “trans rights are human rights” in the associated pink/white/cyan colors. Three small black buttons say “a platform for fascists” alongside a picture of a guillotine.

I know a lot is going on at once, but... I think The Guardian's headline editing team should consider that they just might be overusing the word "amid".
A screenshot cut from the main page of the guardian showing four headlines:
"Meta to report fourth-quarter earnings amid DeepSeek mania and ballooning AI investments"
"Fed holds interest rates stead amid uncertainty over Trump's impact on economy"
"Microsoft to report fourth-quarter earnings amid uproar over DeepSeek's AI"
"Tesla to report fourth-quarter earnings amid declining car delivery numbers"
A fifth headline and picture has been blurred out in the screenshot.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

Probably around 1980, I know I was playing with people from middle school, but I couldn’t say exactly what year at this point. I _think_ the first non-D&D game was Champions, though we also did stuff in the 80s with Rolemaster, Traveller, Car Wars and Twilight 2000.
Original cover of Champions ttrpg. Shows two superheroes fighting. Under the title it says the original superhero role-playing game by Steve Peterson and George McDonald.The original Traveller box set in distressed condition. It has a quote from a fictional distress call from a spaceship on the cover and beneath the name it says “science fiction adventure in the far future.”The original cover for car wars box from Steve Jackson games. It shows a driver in a seat with a steering wheel, surrounded by colorful cars with guns mounted on them.A box set for Twilight 2000 from games workshop. It shows a number of men and women with guns gathered around a military vehicle in a dystopian apocalyptic future.

The worship of market dynamics has poisoned our culture’s ability to build systems that work. “Markets are better at disseminating supply and demand information than you’d think” has turned into “blind markets driven to maximize short term profits are the only moral decision-making mechanism.”
