Each OHS announcement has a grift or second objective embedded in it. This one should be easy to spot.

Do not sleep on this. We have 1,200 people in here roleplaying. I've seen people make their own free press, people doing propaganda, recruiting for factions, selling meat (?? how ??). Behind the scenes I'm seeing bosses organize, set orders, outline their vision, make secret plans and hierarchies.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

CPAP, proper mattress and wool pillow did me. I can calm my brain down but can’t keep my throat open or my back out of pain. Glad you found the right combination to your lock.

Some isekai heroes from today’s PAX TTRPG sessions:
- a healer with white girl dreads who realigns chakras so bad it hurts
- a snake with rune fangs
- a mum who learned karate from VHS tapes
- a Sword in the Stone that has not been pulled out and just gets carried around half inside of a boulder

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

In 2014 I wrote for @newyorker.com about @kurtjmac.bsky.social, a YouTuber who began walking in Minecraft and never stopped. His quest was to reach the Far Lands, a place at the limits of the algorithmic world, where the landscape breaks apart. On Saturday, after fourteen years, he arrived:

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
