So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

TT gamer was ALWAYS full of theater kids. They were just too cool to hang out with the quoted looser. My first dnd table was theater kids and part of the swim team (read: hot) from the nearby catholic school.
I cannot express how pathetic you have to be to believe this happened in the TTRPG hobby in the last decade

This was such a delight! After hundred+ sessions of Daggerheart run... playing it. With an incredible group, and a really enthusiastic. And checking out Carlos' [redacted].... I am living the dream these days.

Hello game writers trying out Daggerheart for adventures/campaign writing. HI! We're not playing and running DnD if we're playing Daggerheart. So there's no "legacy" reasons to hang on to ideas like "evil dark-skinned elves being evil."
We're free. Do better. Thanks.

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I’m old enough to remember when the promise of the internet was the removal of middlemen and now it exists solely to create, maintain, and multiply middlemen
We wrap our affordability series with a look at the hidden economic culprits of the cost of living crisis: middlemen. They sit in between transactions and take their profit, raising costs for everyone else. And their interventions can even turn deadly. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social reports:
Meet the Connectors - The American Prospect
Middlemen, our economy’s most shadowy characters, sit in between buyers and sellers and get rich in the process. It can even be a matter of life or death.

A singer-songwriter friend would like people to know that while boycotting Spotify is great, it was also 16% of their income that is now cratering. So if you're cancelling Spotify, please pair that with buying music, merch, or live tickets directly from your favorite artists

the purpose of this isn't to convince people who struggle to afford food that they're actually fine it's to convince people who don't struggle to afford food that the people who do struggle are ungrateful idiots and whiners whose complaints they can ignore and still feel good about themselves
